Fans of Transformers have reason to rejoice: Michael Bay says Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is going to be 147 in length. I know a lot of fanboys hate Michael Bay, but as a newcomer to the franchise, I think the first film was a pretty good movie. Not enough action and a bit too much “coming of age” storyline, but from the looks of the sequel, we’re going to get a lot more robot action. The first Transformers ran 144 minutes, so the new runtime is only a few minutes more. However, I’d rather see more then less, especially considering the potential the franchise has. Sources indicate there will be between 40-60 robots in the film. Reflect on that for a moment. So is this good news to Transformers fans? Is more robots and longer runtime better for the franchise?
