it was ok, but it ran way too long, and the story wasn't that great. but it was a decent summer action movie. but for those who are comparing this to "The Dark Knight", stop right now. the dark knight was 10 times better than this.

Somehow, Micheal Bay managed to ruin the major draw he had in this movie (Megan Fox being really hot) by making sure the camera never lingered on her long enough to really satisfy those of us who care. Sadly, for those of us interested in Somehow, Micheal Bay managed to ruin the major draw he had in this movie (Megan Fox being really hot) by making sure the camera never lingered on her long enough to really satisfy those of us who care. Sadly, for those of us interested in fighting robots, he applied the same theory. Most of the scenes in this film, actually, include some sort of obstruction to the shot. This technique, while admirable for plot based art films, does little for the vapid appeal that makes Micheal Bay films all this money.… Expand

The constant fighting and explosions took away from the movie. The story was very weak and it seemed like Bay used the fighting to fill in where the story collapsed.

Eh....now, I actually loved the first one and thought it hit all the right notes, except in its last half hour when it just turned into an "action movie."

It just never stops, there's Eh....now, I actually loved the first one and thought it hit all the right notes, except in its last half hour when it just turned into an "action movie." Well.....this entire movie is like that half hour. It just never stops, there's so much non-stop action that the audience becomes numb to it. Even when nothing's going on the camera never stops spinning around, I actually began to get sick in the theater during a kiss scene because the camera kept spinning around the characters for what felt like minutes. I was at times amazed at the movie....amazed at the racism, amazed at the terrible story, amazed at how they used Green Day's 21 Guns as a love balad, (3 times!!!) amazed at the depiction of college life....seriously, unless this was Porn Star Campus, girls in college don't walk around dressed like that. (Not that I'm complaining, exactly, but it did take me out of the movie.) Meagan Fox's ass pretty much upstages the rest of the cast, as Michael Bay never seems to get tired of pointing the camera at it and the other actors don't get much to do. Everything in this movie's so overdone that it's almost a joke; the movie almost plays out like a parody of itself....as if somebody wanted to make a spoof of a Michael Bay film and this was what we got. Every action scene, every joke, every camera movement, shots of pretty girls...it's all done TO THE EXTREME. It's almost a running joke itself. Even when no action's going on the characters talk so fast and urgently that I barely had any idea what they were saying. (Especially Stan's roommate...) Still, I've gotta give credit where credit is due....the movie DOES manage to be very funny (though the jokes themselves seem to have been written by a bunch of 13-year olds in a gym locker room, but they're delivered by funny actors and so they work) and almost every single line is a joke. Shia LeBouf continues to be a very funny actor and delivers his lines perfectly, as if he knows how ridiculous this all is and goes along for the ride. The special effects are also pretty amazing and overall I DID have fun watching it, but afterwards it's almost impossible to grasp what I've just watched. Too bad. The first one was very promising, this is just a somewhat decent follow-up.… Expand

Too long, pretty boring; the story line didn't follow any of the old transformer stories and overall I just wanted it to end. Good effects, but that doesn't make a movie imo.

It is also a lot similar to the plot of the first movie which makes this one predictable. The action scenes were very good until the end when it was just drawn out and then ends very abruptly. The main problem the movie has is they rushed in making it because of the big payday. This is evident in some of the dialogue and some of the characters(megan fox is kind of left out and was not given much of a purpose). Overall it was alright but not as good as the first one.… Expand

The movie lost the point on this one. The action was good and the robots were great but the plot was lost. I understand that the movie would attract a teen crowd but was the language and/or ghetto type characters necessary?

I think a 35 is a bit harsh. This movie should be judged by its special effects more than anything else. Since they were fantastic, I'll give it a 5/10 because the rest of the film was terrible.

When this film This was one of my most anticipated films of the year. After seeing the first film, I thought it was pretty good and thought Transformers could be a vehicle to deliver what I want in a film, which is action with deep meaning. When this film came out, I checked out reviews and my expectations of the film started to drop. Anyway, I went all over the place, and the "Transformers" movie was despised by everyone. This scared me. I went to Netflix and looked at the reviews from normal people, and they said it was good. Yet, the parental guide rating given from Netflix seemed sarcastic in why they gave it a strong PG-13, which means the reviewers probably hated the film, too. So, I went to see the film in IMAX (and I forgot my earplugs, which made it suck in the sound aspect.) This film was a total disappointment. The story was incoherent, the characters were terrible, human and robot alike, and their was no philosophical ideas. The biggest question I had was why did the Fallen have a vendetta against mankind if the last time he came here, it was 17,000 B.C. and our species obviously could do nothing to him? Or is he plain lazy and doesn't want to go searching again to another planet to find another star-destroyer thing? I felt offended from watching the two robots, Mudflap and Skid, considering no matter what other people say, they are definitely caricatures (don't blame the script writers, they didn't want them in the film originally.) I felt they were put in for this reason (I'm into crazy conspiracies, but this might have some relevance): some person at GM wanted to show off their new cars, and the old white guys who own the company said "how can I make this product appear cool to younger people"? Then they thought, "Oh, what about that stuff called rap music? It's done by black people, right?" So, they took their uncool representation of a black person, and tried to sell off the cars as bling. Absolutely stupid. When one of them gets sucked up by the Devastator Constructicon, I wanted him to die, not break free. The characterization is just plain horrible. No chemistry between Sam and Mikaela, and everyone delivers one liners and cliches. What idiot wrote this script? There is no character development, and for a two and a half hour film, that is pathetic. Michael Bay is also bad at romance scenes in every film he does. I mean, it shouldn't be his fault, but for God sakes, why can't his writers put something good in? Other problems are the racial stereotyping, the objectification of women (which I find particularly disgraceful), and simple stupidity of the characters. Another thing, instead of finding Optimus Prime cool like I did in the first one, he came off as annoying. I wanted to yell at him "Shut up, you are making yourself look stupid, not wise!" I mean, rip something out of Ecclesiastes if you want archaic wise, not the dribble they told Peter Cullen to say. As for cinematography, this movie is a mixed bag. Sometimes it was good, the one scene which I thought was really nice was towards the end during the fighting when they take a really long, slo-mo shot of the action. I'm a fan of long, creative shots, and this one pulled it off. But, often times, the visual direction was so jumbled I didn't have a good idea of what was on screen. I could tell who was there, but not what they were really doing. I can make more sense out of karate fighting than this. And lastly, and second most importantly, the message. This film has none. Yes, I said it, none. Optimus Prime and the Autobots are fighting for peace, but so much stuff gets destroyed and so many robots die that it seems they might rather just kill each other than actually have peace. I mean, they are created with huge guns on their arms, what else are they there for, picnics in daisy fields? This isn't a good battle between the forces of holy and demonic, it's just stuff blowing up. As for humanity, it says nothing. We want to continue living, so obviously we are going to kill giant evil robots. This isn't thought-provoking, its fight-or-flight syndrome. From this aspect alone, I don't know how people can find this film to be above average. I've often been criticized for looking too deeply into many works, including all forms of art from literature to music, and that I do not know how to enjoy whatever medium it is. Well, I'm not going to listen to bad techno/pop/Top 40 music just because chicks dig it, and I'm not going to like a film just because stuff blows up. Yet, from all of this, I still find the film to be slightly below average. I gave it 3 stars on Netflix, and in a 0 to 10 system (which is my favorite and with 7 being average,) I'd say a 6.5. It did half of what I came to the movie for, which was action. The other half, which is characterization, meaning, and good plot, were thrown on the wayside. Was I entertained? Not really. When my first question of "Why?" breaks up a film, it loses all of its potential.… Expand

Alright so I saw the first one, it was pretty good. I actually wanted to see Public Enemies when I saw this but it was the premiere and was too alzy to wait till midnight, anyways I saw Transformers 2. it was.... okay The first half an hour Alright so I saw the first one, it was pretty good. I actually wanted to see Public Enemies when I saw this but it was the premiere and was too alzy to wait till midnight, anyways I saw Transformers 2. it was.... okay The first half an hour was great, re-introducing all the characters, was pretty funny, main guy goes to college, introduced to these other guys, sam and Megans character (cant remember her character name) had the whole relationships thing still going and it was interesting. Now for me these are the main points which ruin this movie: 1. NO character development, at all. When I started watching it I was like, who's this commander guy? He hasn't even been introduced, then I remembered he was from the first one, it automatically assumes you remember straight away and it shows how unforgettable each character is as I couldn't even remember them! 2. the story, it was pretty lame.. was boring to be honest, when Optimus died, it just left us with lame-ass characters, bumblebee doesn't talk.. and those twins are not funny, at all. There just annoying, and you don't even care about them. There were also some other robots that envr got introduced like these motorbike ones or something which seems pretty badass, but they were never introduced!!! And when they were in it they said one line and died. 3. Editing. Editing was bad, jump cuts all over the place, even the rorobt fights felt.... forced, it was all really close up at points and no variety 4. Stupidity. So many plot holes... don't even get me started on the ending.. why didn't Optimus turn AROUND AFTER defeating the big guy and just kill Megatron?... I mean.. what the hell? Optimus kills him the big guy, it shows Megatrons aying ill be back and walks off and cuts to optimus walking back to the humans.... but Megatron was directly behind Optimus.... HELLOOOO? whatever it's not even worth thinking about. anyways I give it a 4 for the Cg effects as it was pretty cool, ws some cool camera work at times and the acting was pretty good but it feels very empty,. and is wayyy longer than it should've been worth a watch if it's on tv in the future but I wouldn't recommend paying to see this.… Expand

Michael will always be a great action-film director, but this time he really abused of close-ups to the robots, sometimes you cant really understand whats happening until at last you see a dead robot fall. He also left real acting for the twin robot wich at the end of the film you did not end up on really caring about them. As for the real life human actors, the plot itself cuts them out, they dont do anything more than scream, or pose in the case of Megan. I have to say i do went to see this movie because i liked the first one a lot, other reason was because of Megan. I do love her she is so hot, but that doesn't quit her of being the bad actrees she is, and also the stupidity that lies in his head an in his voice. Anyone who has seen "How to loose friends and Alienate people" would understand my point, what i mean is, she was so stupid to take the role in that movie of a moviestar that lacks of talent but has sex-appeal.

Make up your minds, people. Most of the action I thought was pretty satisfying, and the film more than fufilled my need to see stuff blow-up. The plot is really weak, however. Some of the sex and drug gags were funny, but they need to be cut WAY down in number. Shia and Megan, however, can't act to save their lives. The orchestra scores for the movie were really well done, in my opinion, but can we cut back on using overrated bands in the movie? Yes, I'm talking to you too, Linkin Park. That's all about a 4 right there, but the extra point comes from the fact that Shia LeBouf dies (even if it was only temporary).… Expand

I've read an interview with Michael Bay yesterday in which he said, that he makes movies for teenagers and that he has no problem with that. If movies aimed at a teenage crowd are all about a weak plot including huge plot holes, I've read an interview with Michael Bay yesterday in which he said, that he makes movies for teenagers and that he has no problem with that. If movies aimed at a teenage crowd are all about a weak plot including huge plot holes, superficial character development, jackass-class silly jokes, bad storytelling and absolutely mindblowing, over-the-edge eye and ear candy, then yes, Mr. Bay surely lives up to that. I mean, come on, who does expect something else than that when watching a Bay movie? Anyone who enters the cinema with the expectation to see a sophisticated movie will be disappointed. But those who want to see the new standard in visual-overkill-action-movies won't be disappointed. Yet I am disappointed. Why? Because as a sequel, it means more of...well...everything, but sadly, the balance shifted to the wrong side. The movie is called Transformers 2, so it should be a movie ABOUT the Transformers, about their characters and their relationships, their history and development, but in this movie they sometimes only seem like some kind of sidekick to me. Yes, there are more robots, more fights, more explosions, but also more unnecessary "human dramas", bad jokes, really, really cheesy moments, totally weak and annoying characters (even worse than Jar Jar Binks) and the balance shifted so much, that the annoying parts are weighing over. I'll watch the 3rd movie for sure, but in the end, there will not be many memorable things about the movie, except huge, HUGE, humongously H-U-G-E explosions and insane eyecandy. That includes Megan Fox. Giant robots, explosions and Megan Fox in the same movie has to be at least a "5". That should tell you how bad the rest is :)… Expand

I'd like to see Michael Bay make ONE movie without a single explosion in it. Other than the great special effects and Megan Fox being totally smoking hot, this movie fell short of my expectations. Sub par plot, the middle part lagged a bit, too many corny jokes, not enough character development, and WAY too long. This movie is just emotionally shallow. But if you're just looking for an all-out, guns blazing, action packed and super-saturated film, then Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is just what you need.

Most of them haven't seen the Transformers cartoon, don't have the nostalgia factor, and are not fans of Transformers in general--as indeed most people in general are not. Therefore, they watched this movie merely AS a movie, and not as something they're already a fan of. Most criitcs have the ability to enjoy a dumb action movie as entertainment, but they see so many dumb action movies that it starts to take more to entertain them. I'm not talking about character and plot development--I'm talking about creativity, enjoyable pacing, and GOOD action scenes. Things they didn't find in this movie. Not everyone can enjoy 2.5 hours of giant robots fighting with no story to back it up. You think they're supposed to enjoy every piece of trash just because someone (like you) will complain if they don't? A critic who gives thumbs up to every dumb action movie, with no distinction between a good dumb movie and a bad dumb movie, isn't a very good critic. And you're saying THEY'RE telling YOU what to enjoy? Your behavior is very defensive. I used to be the same way. I'm still a fan of many things people hate, but see no reason to insult people just for disagreeing. You have your reasons for liking the movie, and they have their reasons for disliking it.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is another two and a half hour GM commercial with nothing new or authentic at its core. The characters are the same, the action is the same, and so are the visuals. I expected more from this movie and from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is another two and a half hour GM commercial with nothing new or authentic at its core. The characters are the same, the action is the same, and so are the visuals. I expected more from this movie and from Michael Bay. These were his films and now they are nothing but boring mindless action. Who cares about plot when you have a hundred robots transforming every 5 seconds. I care.… Expand

I give 3 for the talented animators who's talent was wasted on this shitty movie, and 3 to Megan Fox for being so damn hot.

Average Movie.... The story line is not developed clearly... though the film is 2.30 hour lengthy.

Its an incredibly average movie which lacks substance of any sort. But the viewing experience itself is the enjoyable part. Watching giant robots ripping each other to shreds is amusing.

Though nowhere near as bad as some of the franchise's latter installments, "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" is most certainly inferior to its predecessor, what with its grating humor, confusing plot and a third act that's just absolutelyThough nowhere near as bad as some of the franchise's latter installments, "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" is most certainly inferior to its predecessor, what with its grating humor, confusing plot and a third act that's just absolutely devoid of any memorability. My issue with Michael Bay's direction in this is the action, of course. It's just so difficult to trace what's going on for the bulk of every set piece. So many Transformers are thrown our way in this one that it left me feeling like a 55-year-old dad taking his kids to see this. "Which ones are the Decepticons again?" "Who's shooting at who?" "Is that Megatron or Starscream onscreen right now?" Every action scene feels needlessly impersonal, with so many repeated beats and visual cues. I cannot tell you how many times characters will run towards the camera in slow motion, with explosions/Transformers following them from behind. All that said, there's some charm here and there — all of it mostly nostalgia-based, by the way — and a few impressive effects (considering this thing is nearly 15 years old now). Make no mistake, though, this is bottom of the barrel fare and not what blockbusters should be like.… Expand

The action is great again, in the end even crazy.
But...the characters are not well written, some are even annoying, especially in the beginning. The story is also typical for a mainstream AAA movie: told too fast to show only action,The action is great again, in the end even crazy.
But...the characters are not well written, some are even annoying, especially in the beginning. The story is also typical for a mainstream AAA movie: told too fast to show only action, suspense and emotions. Boring. And the humour was also bad and childish. A more serious and adult atmosphere would fit better to Transformers. Also the US military propaganda is so obvious… Expand

Okay, let's just get everything straight, the first half of the movie was ok, the visual and special effects are dazzling all the way through, the performance are also ok, and the rest of Revenge Of The Fallen was just an utterly boringOkay, let's just get everything straight, the first half of the movie was ok, the visual and special effects are dazzling all the way through, the performance are also ok, and the rest of Revenge Of The Fallen was just an utterly boring sequel fills with uninteresting story, a way too long movie that end with the most boring and super long final battle sequence that last like forever, literally i just cannot believe on how long it is and if it's exciting it surely will works but because it's not exciting at all it's boring and tiring to watch, explosion here and there, there goes another one, my ears like bleeding man!, lot's of cheesy moments and dialogue, i really really try my best to still keep up with the film in the first half and i did it, i still thought it was ok, and again the rest after that was just a disaster, overall Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is mostly a boring, unexciting action film that goes way too long fills with dazzling effects and ok first half but a tiring, boring, and exhausting second and last act.… Expand

Unfortunately, there was a serious chemical imbalance in Revenge of the Fallen. Unfortunately, this sequel's fight scenes were only longer, louder, and less inventive than the highly praised ones from the first film. Although Shia la Boeuf's performance in this movie was once again laudable, I wouldn't completely recommend it. The majority of the battle scenes were filmed in slow motion since the filmmaker needed to provide a more dramatic effect, however after nine or ten of them, it can start to grow tiresome before becoming humorous.… Expand
