Why did a whole bunch of critics hate this movie? It was really awesome. The first one was good too, but Revenge of the Fallen was even better. I think Transformers 2 has a shot at the thitle Best Movie of All Time.

All these critic opinions are worthless. This is an awesome movie. Already watched it twice and about to put it in again. If you're not a sissy and like action this is a must see.

Thank you, Michale Bay for not ruining one of my favorite storys. He dose such a good job, that I couldn't help but be disappointed by "Dragonball Evolution". A horrible attempt at bringing an excellent story to the live action universe. I am planning to see Transfomers 2 again, very soon. Loved it!!!… Expand

This was a fantastic movie, very epic, with some of the best CGI to date. the plot was surprisingly good. a couple qualms I have with it, are the fact that they didn't actually develop and of the new transformers, or have any of the existing ones like Ironhide do a whole lot (other than fight), meaning they didn't have plot purpose, I wish they fit them in better (both new and already existing). ***slight spoiler***, Blackout and a couple others that are assumed dead in the first are alive in the 2nd... I guess we just have to assume they were revived. Ending leaves it open for another which is always good. Overall, the movie had a lot of funny parts to it surprisingly. Action is great, although there are a couple segments that are slow and tend to drag on, but its tolerable. Defiantly a must see and must buy when it goes to dvd/blu-ray. I do believe the first film was slightly better, but this film was still great plan and simple. Its a great film to simply just enjoy and laugh, cry (there actually are some pretty intense emotional scenes), and be on the edge of your seat in anticipation. I plan to see again as soon as possible.… Expand

Wow, these numbers would normally make me question everything, but not this time. While I might be slightly delirious from the lack of sleep, I know what I saw. Simply the most technically advanced, everything on the line, action packed, comedic, and well-plotted movie of the year. The things Bay does in this flick will make your jaw DROP!

The movie isn't finished yet, and you can tell; there are some funny awkward jokes strewn around, and there are a few minor narrative holes here and there, but I can see where they're heading, and I LOVE it. The plot is very interesting to explore, including the history of Transformers and the lasting effects of that legacy that transcends time. Also you will not find better action in any other film than in this one; the action is nonstop and visually appealing and it will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Absolutely stunning movie for my wife and myself! I myself was a fan of the original Transformers, though admittedly not as big as I could have been never fully watching or reading any of the series, and my wife was never into them or saw Absolutely stunning movie for my wife and myself! I myself was a fan of the original Transformers, though admittedly not as big as I could have been never fully watching or reading any of the series, and my wife was never into them or saw anything of them practically at all. We both agreed that the movie was good though. It was fast paced, which apparently must have lost most critics I guess, because everyone seems to think their was no plot. We had no trouble with it though, and it made for such an entertaining movie, neither of us wanted to get up to use the bathroom. I thought there was a lot more Transformers action in this one, which was fun. I didn't have trouble distinguishing the bots like most critics seemed to, though admittedly it would have been a 10 in my book if they had simply gave them a little more time to get to know a couple characters in full like we do with the twins. It seemed to me that a lot was given to characterize robots. People also seem to complain about the twins being racist, but I didn't see it as racist until I heard critics arguing about it. I see plenty of kids acting like that, and believe me, it's not limited to Black, Hispanic, OR Caucasian people. It's just a dialect becoming very ambiguous between gangbanger types of all races, so why does it have to be racist? They're robots. They aren't any color but red and green. The notion that they're a black stereotype is only in the minds of the viewer, which is where the racism really lies. I also thought the treatment of the human-sided plot was interesting and playful. It's a shame most critics think so poorly of the fanservicey moment of Megan Fox's character at the beginning, though they seem to take that moment and blow it out of proportion. If you only read the critics (which I did before seeing it so expecting it to be very sexist) you would get a completely different idea of the character then what she was. The movie had a comic-book styled idea on sex appeal, with the sexual tension on the surface instead of what most movies fall to nowadays, simply having a full on sex scene right out of a porno. Great movie!!… Expand

Transformers 2 doubles Seriously, how can you go into a movie based on a cartoon with such high expectations for character development, plotline and "beautiful cinematography" which seems to be all that is needed for a good score these days. Transformers 2 doubles the action and despite some fairly erroneous and somewhat distracting errors in both story and effects creates an amazing experience. I don't recall Transformers both now and during the original cartoons run ever being about the story. It was always second to the eye candy of big guns on big robots. The movie delivers that and more with the added bonus of two total hotties for at least the first 30-45 minutes of the movie. Once people go into a movie expecting more than it needs to deliver, people go on a bashing run around the Internets and through the press. Its sad that films like this which are pure brain candy are treated like they might be the next Ben Hur and subsequently fall short.… Expand

This movie is not perfect, but it was enjoyable. I was not a huge fan of the first movie and I was expecting to come out of this one feeling the same way. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this movie was actually a bit better This movie is not perfect, but it was enjoyable. I was not a huge fan of the first movie and I was expecting to come out of this one feeling the same way. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this movie was actually a bit better than the first (from the perspective of a huge Transformers fan). I've read through the reviews on this site and have noticed that most of you disliked the constant comedic relief. After seeing a number of Summer blockbusters, I've trained myself to just ignore the comedy bits. If you can do the same you will enjoy this movie for what it is: robots fighting robots. The fight scenes in this movie were much longer and more prevalent than in the first, which is probably why I liked this one more. One particular battle in the forest towards the middle of the movie really won me over. The story in the movie, while weak, is really no more weak than the story of the first movie. A giant machine threatening to destroy the Earth is no different than an ancient Transformer relic threatening to destroy the Earth. One thing to note about the infamous "Twins" was that they were definitely racist stereotypes; however, I noticed that the only people laughing at them in my theater were the African American family behind me. If that family could enjoy the movie despite the "racism," I think a lot of other people can as well. Needless to say, I doubt The Twins will be back for number 3. If you're someone who can overlook a lot of cheese and just focus on the real point (robots fighting robots) this movie will please you. If you need a story that could win an Oscar, please skip this movie and don't bother reviewing it.… Expand

My only real complaint was that there weren't more recognisable old characters. Jetfire was a welcome addition, but I'd like to see Ultra Magnus, Galvatron et al. But there's plenty of time for that in the 3rd installment. bring it on!… Expand

Do you really You have to know what you're about to see when you watch a movie from a critical standpoint. So, when you go to see Transformers, please don't expect deep, thoughtful dialog nor a perfectly planned and executed plot. Do you really expect those from a movie called "Transformers"? What you should expect, and what I expected, was some cheesy dialog, a disposable plot, and some awesome action scenes you won't see in any other movie. The scale of the Transformers was absolutely huge, and the moments(abundant, I might add) where there's a ton of action on screen make you sit back and think, simply, "Awesome!" Definitely a sight to behold on the Imax screen where I saw it. So really, this movie accomplishes what it's trying to do.

Look I'm a huge Transformers fan and I loved the first movie. The second movie was actually better in a few ways and significantly worse in other ways that the first one. I won't get all long-winded but basically it comes down to Look I'm a huge Transformers fan and I loved the first movie. The second movie was actually better in a few ways and significantly worse in other ways that the first one. I won't get all long-winded but basically it comes down to this. It's good that there were more robots and the action scenes were actually pretty impressive. The thing is there were actually TOO many action scenes near the end and it really just kinda got numbing. I actually thought the story made perfect sense. It actually seemed like something that would be in one of the cartoon episodes, for better or worse. But the human parts were just horribly done for the most part. Everyone did a decent job acting, especially Shia, except for Megan Fox. God she cannot act. I'm sorry, for all her good looks, she just can't. The score also seemed less inspired, but maybe it's just because the action was so loud without any sense of dynamic. Still, I enjoyed it enough. Nostalgia played a big factor and I realize it's actually even barely a "good" movie, but it was fun and I'll probably enjoy watching it at home. It think the people bashing it and many posters here are really exaggerating its negative aspects. Which is sad, because it's not an awful movie, it's definitely flawed, but it's still satisfying to me. I can get my high art elsewhere but sometimes I just wanna see some pyrotechnics. Finally, all you all who are saying that the twins are racist need to get a clue. They were imitating urban street slang and emulating styles they downloaded from the Web, as goes the plotline of how TFers learn to speak. If you think that the way they're talking is talking "black" or that they are "blackface robots" as others have mentioned here, then I think that says more about your views about race than the film's intentions. One of the voice actors was black and the other was the guy who voices SpongeBob. And THEY came up with their approach for the characters, NOT Bay. And those are the facts (not something that is often given much value on the Web these days...).… Expand

Yes, it probably would have benefited from a shorter running time. Yes, Megan Fox's only purpose is to look hot. Yes, there are plot holes and very bizarre sequences...such as when Jetfire blasts open the side of the Smithsonian Air Museum out by Dulles Airport in NOVA and inexplicably ends up in the boneyard at Davis-Bontham Air Force Base... So what? The movie promises to be louder, bigger, and better than the original and for the most part it delivers. It is funny, dramatic, features battles and effects of epic proportions and only gets slowed down by occasionally pointless subplots (love story) and some ill advised character creations (Skids and Mudflap) But, it delivers what it promises and looks great doing it. Criticizing Michael Bay for making movies with lots of explosions and bad character development is beyond redundant at this point. He has given fans two movies that faithfully deliver awesome transformations, transformers true to their animated counterparts, and a story mirroring and paralleling that of past incarnations. It's a movie released on a large scale with an accompanying large budget that caters to the hardcore fanbase. The fact that it does this, rather than changing things for wider appeal (cough...Xmen)...makes it a movie that people love and critics hate.… Expand

Pretentious people trying to find fault in everything with nothing better to do than pan whatever they can and following the trends like sheep. Not every movie has to TRY to be an epic drama, there is something called "Let's just have fun at the movies" that I think the critics of the world have totally lost the concept of. Michael bay practically invented the popcorn flick Genre, and this is one of his best examples. This was the best popcorn flick I have seen in a long time. Was it "Schindler's List" or "Gladiator" from a plot standpoint? NO.. Do I EXPECT or WANT that? No... It was more campy than the first, better fight choreography, better action sequences, more character development, had a more robo-centric plot, introduced some very cool characters and in general was FUN TO WATCH. I was not bored at all, and the story did make sense to me (but maybe it's because I remember the original show, who knows). This movie deserves to be in the 70s not the 30s, it was EXACTLY what I wanted from a Michael Bay movie, it was EXACTLY what I expected, which is a fun, brainless, popcorn flick that didn't try to take itself too seriously. Cool action, Cool Cars, Funny Characters, good comic relief moments, and I didn't find the "Racial stereotypes" that at all, they were a funny nod to american pop-culture (why is it OK for Chris Tucker to act this way in a movie like Friday, but not OK for a robot to do it in Transformers? It's not like Mudflap and Skids weren't total bad-asses taking on Devestator, they were comic relief and good in action and if it had been Chris Tucker doing voice talent no one would have cared one bit. Stop being so sensitive about every joke.. the president is black, get over yourselves).… Expand

Yes, Transformers did It would appear that the media is taking this opportunity to attack Michael Bay after finally realising that he is not, in fact, a good director. However it would appear that they are doing so for the wrong reasons. Yes, Transformers did have a number of cons that were apparent to the viewer over the pros of the film. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen however does not. Upon viewing this film it is apparent that Michael Bay's directing skills have improved since 2007 and this becomes very clear during the fight-scenes although there are moments where he goes back to his sloppy Paul Greengrass-inspired style of filming during action scenes. Then of course there seems to be an over-use of rotating around the set during scenes of intense, important or romantic dialogue. Nevertheless the film is simply pure fun as it is intended to be and so it would seem that the majority of critics have gone in to see Transformers -another film inspired by what was supposed to be a children's cartoon... Let me say that again: A Children's Cartoon- thinking that it should be the Be All and End All of fantastical movie adaptations. While at times Michael Bay does annoy the audience with some of his redundant filming techniques, as well as editing, the cast -both on the set and voice acting- never stop giving their all for one second... With the exception of one cheesy moment between an unconcious Shia LeBeouf and an upset Megan Fox. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a movie pertaining to action, comedy and is an epic escapade that that is most of all: Pure Fun. One might even say that this is a redemption for Michael Bay and some of the previous disasters he has had the dreaded pleasure of introducing to the world (can you say Armageddon and Pearl Harbor?) but that may be going a bit too far. Either way we shall see with Transformers 3 and whatever projects this -what appears to be- developing Michael Bay brings to us.… Expand

I was in awe with the users giving it bad ratings. Either they have way to high expectations or they dont know crap about transformers. The critics I could care less about since they dont know how to rate movies and like one of the users below said they rate good movies bad and bad movies good. I hate critics. Anyways if you love transformers you will like this movie especially if you like lots of action. Also I am a big fan of Starscream and for all you Starscream fans hes got lines in this one! He actually talks in this one instead of saying like one thing and plays a bigger part. Anyways go see the movie and enjoy it.… Expand

Awseome action, lots of fun, and a scary amount of truth is how the goverment decided to try to blame the Autobots for everything. I'ma a woman, and I have yet to see how it was supposed to be offensive or demeaning.

People are going to complain about any summer blockbuster that Michael bay directs. This movie is pure win and nothing but awesome at every turn. There are even a few moments I won't mention that had my wife and I AT TEARS. How they can People are going to complain about any summer blockbuster that Michael bay directs. This movie is pure win and nothing but awesome at every turn. There are even a few moments I won't mention that had my wife and I AT TEARS. How they can elicit so much emotion and human actions from robots just echoes the brilliance of this and the first movie. This is going to be the biggest grossing movie ever - bigger than the dark knight and Titanic at the box office. This movie had it all - humor, cutting edge visual effects, heartfelt moments, lovable characters, excellent score, great pacing, great cinematography, wonderful acting and anything else you can think of this movie had it in spades. I say damn the haters who will hate just because it's Michael Bay. Go watch it for yourself and if you have an open mind and are there to enjoy yourself then you will have a great time. It's kind of hip to be the big non-conformist and go against anything mainstream. Don't sell this movie short because of the critics who are all in their high horses judging what everyone else should enjoy. The only reason it doesn't get a 10 from me is because it was about 20 minutes too long.… Expand

After seeing this movie, it is clearly the best movie i have ever seen. I saw it in IMAX which probably helped.

I saw it in IMAX which probably helped. And let me start by saying you have to watch this movie in the theatre or with surround sound otherwise it isnt going to be nearly as good. This movie had incredible action sequences that sometimes had my chair rumbling. There are gorgeous chicks and i thought it had a decent storyline. The best improvement from the first one would definitely be the jokes and funny parts. I guess all the haters don't have a good sense of humor....AT ALL. Maybe everyone that rated this movie poorly should have gone to see the Proposal haha. Or rented Driving Miss Daisy. There might be movies that excel better in certain qualities than transformers 2, but it easily has the best combined action, humor, love-sex appeal story out there. Surely a movie that broke a box office record is better than a 36/100 rating critics?… Expand

This is a great summer blockbuster. If anyone, critics or fans alike, went into this movie expecting a deep, oscar-worthy story or character development, they should be legally banned from seeing any movie ever again for their stupidity. This is a great summer blockbuster. If anyone, critics or fans alike, went into this movie expecting a deep, oscar-worthy story or character development, they should be legally banned from seeing any movie ever again for their stupidity. Transformers is not and never was meant to be a deeply emotional, moving story. It is meant to be a fun, action-packed escape from reality, and it fulfills this role perfectly. People need to stop giving it bad reviews just because they don't like Micheal Bay or they wanted some kind sophisticated, high art movie in Transformers 2. Sure, Bay may never win an Oscar for best director, but he makes amazing action movies and should be commended for doing a great job with this movie. People should stop looking for some kind of moral lesson or emotionally moving experience with movies by Bay or any other summer blockbuster for that matter, because they won't find it and will come away dissapointed. Try having fun at the theater for once and you will surely learn to enjoy and love movies like this. The critics should jump off their high horse and realize that having fun is just as important in making a great movie as a great story or lots of character development. 10 out of 10, will be waiting in line to get it on DVD.… Expand

I loved the first movie (saw it 7 times in theaters, countless more on DVD), and I loved this one, too. All the people marking it down, did you expect something more than a long, loud, thoughtless experience?
