This movie looks good, but that's the only achievement it gets. Everything else about it plainly sucks and it is hard to recommend this movie to anyone, even elder kids.

Final Review of Transformers. Overlong, under-plotted, no character development, and the fight scenes were shot badly. Predictable, not even a little bit fun. Only humor was racial stereotyped robots. That got old fast. And more plot holes Final Review of Transformers. Overlong, under-plotted, no character development, and the fight scenes were shot badly.

GOOD: -Bay /actually/ included 'Bee, whom I adore with every possible inch of my innerself, and so scream every single time I see a Chevy Camaro in real life. -Whoa, they actually made a second movie. -I liked seeing all of the new characters, and contradictory to what everyone esle says, I didn't mind Skids and Mudflap that much. But perhaps that's just because fourteen year olds act like that most of the time. So that means most of the kids at my school do that as well. -I loved the action, although sometimes it began to be overbearing. BAD: -What the hell ever happened to the Secretary of Defense?! They made a big deal of all the government security efforts in the first movie, leading up to a sequel, then TOTALLY DROP ALL OF IT?! What?! -They made Obama look like a doofass. Wtf?! But, then again...they made Bush look like a doofass in the first movie, so I guess it makes up for it. -Four words: Not enough robot scenes. It was mostly humans. Um, Bay, last time I checked the movie was called "Transformers", not "Aw Look at Sam being socially awkward at college *angstemoangstangst* and Mikaela acting like a total slut! :D" Yeah. I just said that. -I was /actually/ looking forward to seeing 'Bee a lot in this movie...-obsession-...and I barely got to see him. What's up with that?! -Let me just quote someone from a review I read once, "Bay might as well have made a movie about Mikaela's bouncing tits, and it probably still would have sold just as well." ---Sums in up in one sentence. Mikaela, please, put your shirt back on and quit getting boob-jobs. -Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. I think I speak for the over ten million emetophobes out there when I say, "What the fuck is up with Sam randomly hurling in the library?!" Did that even have a real purpose besides make me reconsider my popcorn buying habits? What about those sympathetic vomiters? Do you think I /really/ wanna look over and see someone puking in the middle of the movie? Nuuu. -Why Bay? Why? I was actually happy for like, the three minutes that Sam was dead. And, hell, even though I love 'Bee, I LOVE that expression that came across his face as he dropped to his knees in sorrow and disbelief. Absolutley amazing. And so why is it that it's impossible to find that clip? I think that sums it up for now...so...thus my horrid rating. It wasn't worth going for all of the things Bay did to fuck it up, but it was worth going to satisfy my Transfomers fix that I'd been having for about three months prior to its release.… Expand

We had some good action, but when it really came down to it, ROTF fell way short of it's predecessor. I'll break it down into plus and minuses. + More Transformers + More action sequences full of ridiculous explosions + Optimus Prime finally does something Now for the minuses. -Horribly racist transformers (the twins) -Worst love story in the history of movies -Dumb side-character who gets picked up and doesn't shut up the entire movie -Toilet humor... Really? Did we need more of that? -Certain transformers get way too much screen time -Sam screams "BUMBLEBEE!" and "OPTIMUS!" The entire movie -Worst plot devices ever used. -At one point Sam's hand gets magically bandaged and there's no explanation behind it. -Horrible Dialogue, and terrible story. As you can see, there are way too many minuses. I left A LOT out, but hey, don't take my word for it. I didn't buy any stock in what review after review had warned me about. I saw it, and this is one time I do agree with critics. If you want to have your mind numbed and your ear drums blown, then by all means this is the movie for you. If you can't sit through 2:40 minutes of nothing happening (except in the middle and end of the movie), and want something more, then skip this terrible excuse for anything resembling a movie. I'd rather watch Wolverine again.… Expand

The amount of foul language and sexual and This gets a 3 rating for the CGI, which - admittedly, was quite amazing. Other than that, this film fails on many different levels. For starters - this is a film based on a kids toys and cartoons. The amount of foul language and sexual and drug references were intolerable for that basis. I really liked the first TF film and thought it was a nice throwback for the youthful days of playing with the toys, but this film is just too much. Bay was quoted as saying he was gonna make this film "epic". Well, to me, "Epic" does not mean throwing almost 50 different robots into the story, but only giving a backstory on a half dozen of them. Most of the bots are relegated to one or two scenes, and it's near impossible to tell who's who 90% of the time. The end battle was a write off since almost every Decepticon looked identical! Storywise this film was awful, and it doesn't help that the human actors, aside from Turturro can't act!! I don't know what Spielberg sees in Shia - he's an average actor who's just gotten some really lucky breaks IMO. Megan Fox, while being great to look at, has the actiing talent of a kleenex. One of my biggest gripes with the film were Skids and Mudflap, the twin Autobots. By God, I have never seen anything so blatantly racist since JJ Binks in TPM!! Gold Teeth, dreads, and talking in that pseudo-ghetto dialogue - it makes me wonder how they were given the go-ahead to be in the film!? The movie was WAY too long, as many reviews have pointed out, and the decibel level was enough to shatter eardrums! Very disappointed in what could have been a good follow-up to a solid beginning.… Expand

Not only is it borderline offensive, but it gets really old after the first few gags. Secondly the movie introduces way too many new characters (that are annoying and/or underdeveloped), concepts (that some how lacked importance to be even mentioned in the first movie), and poor execution of raunchy humor. For example: An completely new arch villain is created only to kill him and keep the original two villains alive for the next sequel. The movie played like a bad comedy with robot action on the side. Save your money and wait until it hits the Redbox. That way you can fast forward to the action and Megan Fox. And the hot Decepticon chick.… Expand

I walked out of the theater more confused than I have been in the last 5 years. I honestly believe only die-hard fans and tween/teen boys would enjoy this movie. And that's stretching it. Many questions surfaced during and after: Why were there so many plot holes? Why did they have that whiny new character? Why did that old guy have to rip off his pants in front of the camera? Why is that robot humping Megan Fox's leg? Why couldn't I tell what robot was fighting what robot? Why are my ears ringing so badly? What was the plot? Why did that one robot have a beard? Why are those two robots stereotyping black men? Why are they attempting to run from so many explosions in slow mo? Why is Megan Fox's character completely different this time? Why did Michael Bay allow -- more accurately -- contribute to making this a terrible movie? Why did I waste my money on this garbage?

The story is not important and you won't miss anything. I would have had more fun if I spray painted a ball of aluminum foil yellow and then threw it repeatedly at a regular ball of aluminum. I thought my expectations were lowered significantly by friends and critics, but they were not. I wanted to like it. I liked the first one (about 7/10), but this one was totally empty for me. There was absolutely no rising action (and I don't mean plot, which I already discussed). By that I mean the final fight was not any more awesome than the first one. I would have thought this movie was far more awesome if I had left after thirty minutes.

This movie in general is really bad, but I can't say is awful because at the very least, the people of the special effects did a terrific job!How bad is the script you say? Well when all of sudden characters that were in one country, appear in another magically. When robots suddenly can transform into humans, that makes you wonder why the idiot robots didn't come up with that in the first place. Acting? Yeah Megan fox instead of frustrated or crying for his love when he is about to be rip apart in one of the scenes, she is actually watching with amusement. Oh and apparently the government has an awful security because those radars can't detect when a robot is near a satellite, or on any kind of ground. Ugh I could continue, but it would take me days! One thing for sure, I wouldn't be happy to receive credit as a director of this film seriously.

An absolutely horrible film. Michael Bay should be ashamed that he isn't capable of toning down his over-the-top action, concentrating a LITTLE on the story and, when doing a film marketed to kids, leave out all of the sex, drug and racist material.

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is certainly one of these, but that is not why I did not like it. ROTF tries to be intelligent, dramatic, and visually appealing, but unfortunately, it is none of these things. First of all, don't bother seeing this film for the action because the action is terrible. Bay seems to have it in his mind that the louder and more fast-cutting the action is, the more fun it is to watch, which is false. Although there were a few pretty good visual effects-heavy scenes, Bay rarely keeps the camera on one thing for a split-second and for the whole last hour of the film, which is just a brainless, noisy action sequence, I couldn't tell what was going on. My eyes were just looking at a screen with a lot of seizure-inducing lights on it. Which brings me to plot. It's not that ROTF is a mindless movie, it isn't quite that. Bay does have a story in his mind; however, bad dialogue and poor filming make the story pretty much incomprehensible. Fans of the Transformers might have a good time - I will also say that I did enjoy the first 30 minutes' character-driven humor and a few of the film's twists - but Transformers: ROTF is a huge backstep from the first film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, was this bad Transformers 2, or how to make a crap sequel Good Points: Special Effects rock, Megan Fox looking lush as ever, Fight scenes are awesome, The Fallen looked awesome and was voiced by the legend that is Tony Todd, a killer soundtrack (Green Day, Nickleback), Optimus forms with JetFire, we get the return of John Tutturro and Sams parents (who are both hilarious) Bad Points: Where to begin? The film runs for over 2 hours, which is way more than is needed. The Twins, nuff said. They're the Autobot form of Jedward. Bumblebee cannot talk again, so they basically ignored the end of Transformers 1. Sams roomate, Leon, is uneeded and annoying. Theres two scenes of dogs humping. Giant Robot Testicles. Reviving Sam, Optimus and Megatron as if their deaths meant nothing. The Fallen/Megatron/Starscream relationship. Bad dialogue "Give me your face", the scene of Sams mom running around on drugs, The swearing and sex references when kids are watching, Sam being a dick to Mikaela in the beginning, The amount of transformers which come on, one after another, not giving them enough screentime for us to care when they're destroyed. All in all, a rubbish sequel. I would've given it a 2.5 rating, but i'll be generous (like I was with the good points) and round it up to a 3… Expand

The threadbare story is riddled with poor dialogue, toilet humor and gaping plot holes. The biggest mistake RotF makes is the exclusion of a decent human element to the story, choosing instead to focus on messy and badly directed fight scenes. Formerly enjoyable characters are now just one-dimensional caricatures who are there to kill time before the next robot fight. The movie spends no time on developing its characters yet expects us to care when they face imminent danger. This highlights another problem. The story and characters are so weak that it detracts from our interest, meaning that scenes of dramatic importance fall flat because we no longer care. A poor effort which will derail this series if it continues as it is.… Expand

"ambitious", story making very little sense, acting pretty awful, unnecessary comic relief from mom, etc. 2.5 hours. Wow. It speaks a lot to Hollywood magic how the effects (which are pretty awesome) end up feeling kind of ho-hum. On the plus side, Megan Fox is super hot and worth the ticket price, and the voice of Optimus is always awesome. Some good Bumblebee moments too.… Expand

Clocking in at two and a half hours, this is a drag and thenThere is just no way to defend or salvage the massive and overblown mess that is Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to the equally big but not equally bad Transformers film in 2007. Clocking in at two and a half hours, this is a drag and then some, with an uneven and completely exhausting plot that twists and turns into senseless action, it becomes quite difficult to follow and, well, unnecessary. To many devices, turning points and pointless additions make up this bloated sequel, where we find Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) now heading to college, but being dragged back into the fight of the Transformers. The Decepticons, or the bad guys, have found a new energy source, and it's location lies within the mind of Sam, and that's really the plot that drags out for an obscenely long time, and the humour and mediocre storytelling, it goes one way by the Decepticons reveal themselves the world and how they will no longer hide, but yet their epic showdown happens in the desert, away from the.. erm.. public eye. These ongoing problems persist throughout the film, as the script seems to contradict itself at many turns, switching locations and using cut-off scenes at what are perceived to be pivotal moments such as the resurrection of Megatron, but lets cut to Sam's parents trying out snails in Paris. The inconsistencies simply don't diminish, whether its these symbols that are the driving point of the film, why exactly where these missing from the first film, with only subtle hints that never amounted to anything. The humour can be the saving grace of the film, but low and behold we have teo particularly stereotyped Autobots who are now part of of Optimus Prime's team of earth dwellers who are reminiscent of the gang culture persona of African-Americans, racist and desperate are words that spring to mind. We also have new lady autobots who I'm sure have around five words to say in the entire film, its been made big, but just too big to point where there are mistakes and forgetfulness.
LaBeouf continues to bicker his way through his lead role, perhaps trying to encapsulate a character with an attention disorder. There is very little do to for the rest of the cast, some having petty one-liners while others are kicked to the dirt entirely. The special effects are again a truly amazing to watch, but a compromise needs to be drawn somewhere, and there is none in this film, its loud and utilises slow-motion so we can watch Sam and Michaela (Megan Fox) run away several times, and leap from buildings onto piles of rubble without any sort of injury.
There is no consistency, motive, relatable actions or fluid plot points to admire this film, instead we are left with a loud and over-arching catastrophe. Michael Bay should have listened to the dialogue that John Turturro delivers on the film, "beginning, middle, end, plot, condense If only.… Expand

This movie doesn't just tarnish the Transformers franchise; it furiously b****-slaps it until nothing is left but a grinning effigy of Mr. Bay. Retarded plot points are pulled out at every corner, the fights are spastic and unfocused, and the military is there to outshine the robots during every scene. In all honesty, it feels like Bay sold this as propaganda for the military. You remember the epic fights in the first film, including the showdown between Optimus and Megatron? You'll get none of that in this movie. The supposedly invulnerable, pyramid-sized robot at the end, who decimates all attempts to destroy it, is defeated in 6 seconds by a "railgun." I know it is a real weapon in development, but it is never mentioned at any point in the movie, and honestly feels like Bay crammed it in as more propaganda. Don't see this movie.… Expand

The action sequences are horrendous. They look like exploding junkyards that you can hardly differentiate from one another having slap fights. The acting (with a few exceptions) is largely bland and occasionally just plain awful. Specifically, Megan Fox. She's hot, but she has no acting talent. The humor is hardly chuckle-worthy at its best, and borderline offensive in its worst, often resorting to stereotypes to try and get laughs. The climax is wholly unsatisfying, with a complete Deus Ex Machina resurrection of TWO main characters, and a final fight that lasts less than two minutes. Not to mention Sam Witwicky often serves no other purpose than to run and scream for someone to save him. If I had to give some positives, it would be Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, and the impressive quality of the CGI. Other than that, this is a truly terrible film with very few redeeming values.… Expand

Also, Jetfire, they created his character with the premise that he is a very old, ancient cybertronian, but they "again" with all the horrible humor, had him walk around with a cane?, and his pieces fall of his body as he walked around, they revived him with the AllSpark sliver, but its still a fragment of the AllSpark, and that in itself gives them life, so this is just simply a ridiculous venture in the movie. There are so many issues about this movie, but its to much to add here, i give this movie a 2, because they showed a very done fight between Optimus & the 3 Decepticons, but only because it was very nice eye candy, If Optimus had a hard time facing off against Megatron in the First, how he could hold off Him, StarScream, & Blackout (The Helicopter) is a pretty huge inconsistency in the Story line yet again… Expand

Hey, I like explosions and humping jokes as much as the next guy, but even I need a little bit more to justify shelling out $15.

Another case of Michael Bay using SFX instead of a plot. But at least you get to look at Megan Fox.

I liked the first film - I thought given the premise it was a remarkable achievement. This movie removes just about everything plausible and dramatic, and doubles or triples everything that was implausible to begin with.

Loved the first movie. Can't stand this one. All of the reviewers are correct, this movie is a steaming pile.

All of the reviewers are correct, this movie is a steaming pile. Here are the major problems with this movie: no explanation of where or when all these new robots showed up, lots of un-needed cursing by the Autobots, Sam's mom running around like an idiot, a double dose of Jar-Jar Binks like Autobots called the Twins, a No Country for Old Men style ending in which the movie just suddenly ends out of the blue, the villain that they spent the whole movie building up as a really bad dude getting killed in less than 15 seconds, and last but not least robot testicles. The movie is 2.5 hrs long, but they could've shaved 30+ minutes off if they didn't have un-needed stuff like Sams mom eating weed infused brownies and running across the college campus while Sam and his dad chase her. Completely pointless and brought nothing to the story. I wasted $21 to see this movie, I hope you do not do the same. I will not even be renting this movie at the Redbox for $1 when it comes out on DVD.… Expand

Not at all as good as the first and a $ waste. I do not see what these ppl are saying about it as being good and no one really explains why it is good. Good summer movie? that lowers your standards quickly by saying that.

I couldn't wait to see this movie. What a letdown! I am not one to walk out on movies, but I nearly did several times on this one. They could have done so much better than sex jokes, come on, what did the dog "dominating" the other one I couldn't wait to see this movie. What a letdown! I am not one to walk out on movies, but I nearly did several times on this one. They could have done so much better than sex jokes, come on, what did the dog "dominating" the other one have to do with the movie? It's Transformers for crying out loud, giant robots, and this is the best the script team could do? I will say in it's favor, hence the two stars, that they do the visual effects very well. At the end of the movie though, I felt like the character on the pyramid, "under the scrotum" of the shmucks that wrote the script. Very disappointing!… Expand

While the first Transformers wasn't really a good movie, it was fine for a summer blockbuster -- giant robot fights and explosions; enough action to keep me entertained without getting bogged down in trying to tell a serious plot which While the first Transformers wasn't really a good movie, it was fine for a summer blockbuster -- giant robot fights and explosions; enough action to keep me entertained without getting bogged down in trying to tell a serious plot which probably would have sucked. This is exactly why Transformers 2 is HORRENDOUS. Instead of just having a lot of cool action scenes, they try to tell a convoluted plot which really doesn't even make sense, and has gigantic holes left and right. Almost everything about this film was terrible, other than the fight in the trees with Optimus Prime.… Expand

There is little plot and it is This movie is one of the worst films I have ever seen, which is surprising because the first Transformers is one of my favorites. While there is a lot of action, it is all dull without any memorable moments. There is little plot and it is all very cliche and straightforward. The jokes, while slightly amusing at first, were repeated over and over again until it was painful. The ending was terrible and extremely cheesy. The best part of the movie was the college scene, which seemed like a sex-obsessed rip-off of Terminator. On the plus side, it's simple-minded enough to keep little kids interested for a few minutes.… Expand

I can see what Andrew H is saying to an extent, but why would the filmmakers only want to make money off of fans. A GOOD film should be one that everyone can enjoy. Not just fans who want a little nostalgia.

Let me start off by saying I've enjoyed the first for what it was but most of this film made me literally angry, it was so fucking shit. The dialogue/ characters was disastrous, Uwe Boll looks like a genius next to this fucking moron Let me start off by saying I've enjoyed the first for what it was but most of this film made me literally angry, it was so fucking shit. The dialogue/ characters was disastrous, Uwe Boll looks like a genius next to this fucking moron and 90% of the time in the fighting scenes I couldn't even tell WHY there were explosions and it just seemed like a shit load of metal sounds. It's also odd how the robots acted so much like humans in the way they fight/ act/ talk. I didn't pick up on that the first film but I did here, probably because there is much more dialogue scenes and so on which were NOT needed and yeah, just literally pissed me off over how dumb they were. Oh and when an old robot is re-activated he has a beard and a walking cane WHAT THE FUCK!? Fucking ridiculous movie that highlights everything wrong with American culture. The mom character especially. oh.my.fucking.god, she was so fucking terrible, I just wanted to stick a chainsaw in someone's eye. And no you can't say "lol just go in it and have some fun", that WAS my attitude before it started pissing me off with scene after scene of absurd idiocy. The humour pisses me off just thinking about it...When the dad slaps the mother's ass, the main douchebag guy says "hey watch it, this isn't a rap video"....Yeah...wow. And the way he says it adds to the annoyance. The effects were spectacular, I'd give it that. I loved when robots got sliced you could literally see very inch of metal, wires and whatever come apart and that was about all I've enjoyed along with some of the action scenes. And the overall story was kind of interesting if it was told better but it wasn't and unfortunately the great story that seemed to be in there just couldn't come out under such retarded direction which is a huge shame. 2/10.… Expand
