By Cory Barker · Tuesday, Oct. 27,2009 6:12 p.m.

Watching “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” the first go-around was a sick chore. I thought maybe Michael Bay had inadvertently made a 150-minute torture porn flick, it was so awful. But four months later, I was ready to give it another chance – and my God, it’s even worse.
