Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is shaping up as the major summer blockbuster of 2009. The film, which opens in China this week, is also transforming into a social event in its own right, with fans lining up outside cinemas clutching toy robots and, in some cases, masks and costumes to boot.

Director Michael Bay and Producer Steven Spielberg have teamed up again for the second installment, while leading man Shia LaBeouf and actress Megan Fox return as the on-screen couple caught in the middle of a war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
