Call me old fashioned, but I like a little side story and character to go along with my order of big, loud special effects. Apparently, I'm in the minority, though, because the original Transformers made more money than I'd see in 300Call me old fashioned, but I like a little side story and character to go along with my order of big, loud special effects. Apparently, I'm in the minority, though, because the original Transformers made more money than I'd see in 300 lifetimes. So kick back, dig into your jumbo faux butter-drenched popcorn, and slurp your gargantuan soda while experiencing the kind of supersized mayhem that only Michael Bay can deliver. It's a question of whether the cholesterol in the "butter" will harden your arteries before what's on the celluloid can cause brain death.

The robots are all back: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Megan Fox. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen takes one part inspiration from the Godzilla movies, one part inspiration from Star Wars, and one part inspiration from all the commas in the number associated with the budget. In a nutshell, my problems with the second Transformers are largely the same ones I had with the 2007 edition: the story doesn't make any sense, the characters are annoying, the action is dull and repetitive, and during machine-on-machine throwdowns, it's impossible to figure out who the good guys are. The biggest difference: 15 more minutes. Talk about self-indulgent. This movie would be too long at 1.5 hours. It never wants to end. Forget merely wandering out to the concession stand in the middle of the proceedings to refill that oil drum-sized bucket of popcorn. You can get in your car, drive to the nearest supermarket, do your week's shopping, and return and you'll be no less confused than those who stayed for the whole thing. Sad but true.

Going into detail about the plot will make me sound like I'm recapping the backstory for a children's coloring book, but here are the basics. It seems that, around 17,000 B.C. (early enough that it predates last year's Roland Emmerich prehistoric disaster), the Transformers came to Earth for the first time. There was some kind of big war and a giant weapon and the key to use it were hidden. Cut to today. There are more Decepticons (bad guys) headed for Earth, led by The Fallen (voice of Tony Todd). He has sent his minions ahead to resurrect Megatron (voice of Hugo Weaving) and kill Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen). Once those things are accomplished, he can invade, get the key and the weapon, and destroy Earth's sun. Unfortunately, in his way stands a puny human named Sam (Shia LeBeouf) and his gorgeous android-like girlfriend, Mikaela (Megan Fox). Having accidentally taken home a shard of the Allspark doesn't dissuade Sam from attending the University of Pennsylvania, so that's where he is when Megatron's underlings find him. Much chaos ensues.

There is a famous term in theater and film called "deus ex machina." It means, literally, "God by machine," and is frequently used to describe an event when unbelievable coincidences or contrivances are needed to move the plot in a certain direction. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen takes this term to heart. There is a scene late in the movie when we come face to face with machine gods who tweak events so everything will turn out right. There's a temptation to argue that, with something this blunt, it has to be satire. Unfortunately, Michael Bay has not built his reputation upon sophisticated satire and he doesn't seem to be winking at the audience.

Now is probably not the time to heap scorn on the writing team of Orci and Kurtzman (abetted by Ehren Kruger), who are responsible for this screenplay. At the moment, the pair are enjoying praise for their Star Trek reboot. Let's be honest, though - that's not exactly an airtight story, but compared to this one, it's a masterpiece of coherence and ingenuity. Pundits have pointed out similarities in Star Trek to Star Wars, but they're even more obvious here, with Megatron playing Darth Vader to The Fallen's Emperor. And Orci and Kurtzman out-menace The Phantom Menace by providing not one, but two, imitation Jar Jar Binks.

In the long run, this review will be worth even less than what John Nance Garner called the Vice Presidency of the United States. Transformers fans, salivating for two years awaiting this sequel, will queue up to see it, then leave the theater and get back in line again. The storyline is so infantile that it will appeal to young kids (or at least to those with XY sex chromosomes), although one has to wonder whether the length will be something of an impediment. The target viewer for this movie is not noted for a long attention span. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will make a ton of money, Michael Bay will be lauded as the greatest director of our generation, and the accountants at Paramount will have their second collective orgasm in as many months. As for me, I will try desperately not to weep - not so much for what the success of a movie like this means to motion pictures but for the simple fact that I'm going to have to do this all over again in two or three years for Transformers 3.… Expand

Transformers revenge of the fallen is a generic summer blockbuster that gets almost nothing right. The script in this movie is so lazy, without it even focusing on the transformers, it tries to develop the human characters more than the transformers. The humor in this is just so terrible, with it being mostly racist and stupid, just like every other Michael bay movie. The characters are all undeveloped and weak, and the movie just doesn't go anywhere interesting. The only good thing about this movie is the special effects and one good action scene, that's really it. Overall, transformers revenge of the fallen is just a lazy and stupid movie,and as a hardcore transformers fan, I highly wouldn't recommend it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watched this last night but was only able to make it through till the half hour mark. Without question THE most obnoxious 30 minutes of cinema I have ever seen. The film starts well with an African tribe, a tiger and robots. A robot crushes a man underfoot - excellent. Next we move onto an action sequence which is very confusing - noise, explosions, slow motion and the camera moves around a lot. Then we move to the suburban home of Shia LeBoufe and the movie actually becomes physically impossible to watch. The camera lingers on Megan Fox in the most gross way imaginable. We see two dogs having s*x. Shia's dad acts in an inappropriately s*xual way with his mam. His mam is bumping gums throughout, just being really annoying. Then there is shooting and fire and at that point I turned it off.… Expand

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 barely has a begining middle and end, which is torturous to say as this movie clocks over two hours.

THE GOOD: Megan Fox runs in slow motion. I don't know what her character's name is though. She's just Megan Fox running in slow motion. Why is she in the movie? So she can run in slow motion. There's a good fight between Optimus and 3 Decepticons in a forest. THE BAD: The story makes no sense whatsoever. The action is so convoluted, you can't tell who is who and there are just a bunch of explosions. The jokes are recycled, racist, sex or drug related, and too adult for kids. The first 45 minutes of the movie are mildly entertaining, then takes a 90 minute break and becomes utter crap. The final transformer battle is about 20 seconds. It's one of the worst movies that I've seen. I'd give the first Transformer Movie a 7. This one, a 2.… Expand

Further, Bay blatantly ripped off sci-fi classics rather than come up with his own ideas. Megatron and the Fallen are basically Vader and the emperor. Then there was the Terminator ripoff taken to a ridiculous tongue-weapon extreme. This is not even to mention the elementary school plot and the god-awful acting!

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

Zero character depth (I'm referring to the Transformers - although the human characters were quite superficial as well). In terms of presentation, the CGI was also dreadful. I couldn't tell who is who since the transformers look almost identical to each other. Even worse, they all just look like a pile of cogs, wires, and bolts. Pretty awful design... A film needs first and foremost a good, solid, coherent script. The rest come easy and natural once a good storyline has been established. The biggest mistake of Transformers & Transformers II is that the Transformers are playing supporting roles while Shia LeDouche and Megan Faux are the main characters. There are two major flaws with this : 1. The movie is called TRANSFORMERS !!! Which means humans are optional and even if their involvement is deemed necessary, they are ultimately unimportant. For example : Who cares if LeDouche goes to college? Why should we care? WHY? What if he had gone fishing? Would that have any effect on the movie plot-wise? What if he had gone to Las Vegas to gamble and party with prostitutes? Speaking of prostitutes, why is Megan Fox dressed like one? This is supposed to be a movie based of children's toys! 2. LeDouche & Faux cannot act. That is a fact, NOT my opinion. Neither of them can act. Period. The bad humor, the cliche and insulting stereotypes, and especially the nonsensical plot completely destroy what could have been a nice, enjoyable movie. It's sad that people like this $200 million crapfest. It wasn't entertaining even a bit. Transformers II is not worth neither your money nor your time. My advice : Just stay away from this movie.… Expand

I have never given a zero star rating to a film before. Ever. And I certainly wasn't expecting great art here-you hear the word 'Transformers' associated with a film and you have an idea of what to expect. But dear God I have never given a zero star rating to a film before. Ever. And I certainly wasn't expecting great art here-you hear the word 'Transformers' associated with a film and you have an idea of what to expect. But dear God almighty...where to begin? Loud? Check. Long? Check. Offensive morally, sexually, and racially? Check, check, and check. Now, to be fair, I will acknowledge that this is exactly what we thought it would be. After all, this is Michael Bay we're talking about. But just because it was expected doesn't make it good. The first Transformers had it's fair share of haters (for good reason), but ultimately those flaws and offensive innuendos were (in my opinion) massaged over by the humor and for the most part thrilling visuals. Here...it's just more. More, more, more, albeit less, less, less. More action? Less character development. More visuals? Less heart. More raunch? Less clever. I don't mind a movie being two and a half hours long, filthy as heck, and altogther stupid- that's what 'Knocked Up' is for. But a movie also has to have a heart, a brain, and a soul. 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' doesn't even have the audacity to pretend-it just explodes, and explodes, and explodes, over and over and over and over again. Yes, we were expecting it...but honestly, now that it's out, how many have really, truly enjoyed it?… Expand

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. It is inconsistent, 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. It is inconsistent, implausible, noisy and insulting - and this is especially annoying because within the world it created, the first one was not.… Expand

First, this movie is long, too long by 45 minutes. It's boring. If it had been shorter, then I might have actually enjoyed it a smidgeon. If you have young kids who want to see this movie, you should no there is racism and animal sex in First, this movie is long, too long by 45 minutes. It's boring. If it had been shorter, then I might have actually enjoyed it a smidgeon. If you have young kids who want to see this movie, you should no there is racism and animal sex in it. It's not suitable for them. It is also long--so much so that they even got bored before the big explosions at the end. Also, my oldest was not even that happy with the movie because they focused to much on the humans and not enough on the robots.… Expand

The first transformers was somewhat clever, but this one was so infantile that it verged on insulting to anyone over the age of eleven.

I had already heard bad things about the movie before I went to go see it. My biggest problem with the first movie was that it wasnt really"Transformers" the movie, It was "Shia LaBeouf : Featuring the Transformers". There were more chances I had already heard bad things about the movie before I went to go see it. My biggest problem with the first movie was that it wasnt really"Transformers" the movie, It was "Shia LaBeouf : Featuring the Transformers". There were more chances to let the actual Transformers shine in this one but I honestly could barely get myself to care about the human characters. Why was the comedy so terribly childish this time also? Bay Needs to stop filming Fox's assets and focus on making us stop hating the human characters.… Expand

Loved the first movie. Can't stand this one. 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 Loved the first movie. Can't stand this one. 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

Transformer trash! Don't waste your time or money. The "frat boy" humor and crude sexual content over shadow the slightest twinge of a plot. Transterrible! -0
