I felt if you have seen the first one than this is a great movie but i can see how some people could get lost. It had every thing i expected and enjoyed from the first one and it is definitey worth the money I would say it worth watching twice.

I liked this movie as I did the original. I do not believe that this was quite as good as the first but none the less very enjoyable to see. The special effects action scenes did cause burning sensation to my eyes though. (Wow!!)

I'm 59 years old and no Hasbro Transformer fan. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Each time it "lagged' with quote/unquote human Bay came through with more robot interaction. This is a move about giant robots battling one another. I I'm 59 years old and no Hasbro Transformer fan. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

I had no problem distinguishing main character robots from one another. And I love that the heft of the robots was conveyed. The critics are being over-critical of what is intended to be a popcorn movie. It delivers. Could I have done without Skids and Mudflap being minstrel characters or the humping on Fox's leg, sure. Dit it ruin the movie, absolutely not. The Fallen is a winner. Expand

Very fun movie to watch! Too long so it gets a 9 instead of 10. I can only take so much awesome robot action, you know... C'mon people! Give Shia a break for once! You all wouldn't know bad acting if it slapped you in the face. Very fun movie to watch! Too long so it gets a 9 instead of 10. I can only take so much awesome robot action, you know... C'mon people! Give Shia a break for once! You all wouldn't know bad acting if it slapped you in the face. Shia comes off as an awkward, geeky, and natural teenager...which is a GOOD thing. That's called GOOD acting. Not great, but GOOD! I can't say the same for Meghan, though. But DAMN, she's nice to look at! And in a movie like this, that's what's important. All in all, Transformers 2 delivers on the TRUE purpose of film: to visually entertain. You want deep and thought provoking stories? READ A BOOK! Expand

I see a lot of reviews and hear a lot of people stating that Transformers 2 has a very incoherent plot and is loud and tedious. i have to disagree immensely. The movie has its kinks, i will admit, but the plot as a whole makes perfect sense: I see a lot of reviews and hear a lot of people stating that Transformers 2 has a very incoherent plot and is loud and tedious. i have to disagree immensely. The movie has its kinks, i will admit, but the plot as a whole makes perfect sense: Decepticons need Energon. How? Earth's sun. If people want more than that, they will be disappointed. In my views, if the sun were about to be destroyed by evil alien robots, I believe there would be some destruction caused by fighting robots to either destroy or defend. Although plot holes were there, the plot itself made enough sense to create an epic feel that Bay seems to do very well in his films. The characters including the Bots were very developed, and developed well. Sam and Mikaela's relationship was shown to be vulnerable, yet it was easily known that they loved each other. I see criticism over Megan Fox's introduction scene as being too sexual. I again disagree, because her tone of voice and the background Green Day song gave an innocent outlook on her. I not once paid more attention to the sexuality, as i found her scene to be very sweet in tone. Shia Labeouf is a good actor. Not much more i can say about him. Optimus and Starscream were my favorite Bots. Optimus' leadership was exemplified a lot throughout the film, up till that one moment in which he....... spoilers. well, in all he is just a great character. Starscream's personality and how he acted was incredible. He was loyal , yet only by fear it seemed like. His actions with Megatron displayed how he is as a character, which is a cowardly right wing. Very well done on his part. Then there comes the issue over Skids and Mudflap. I watched their parts, and not once did i compare their actions to "black" people. They were funny, cuz they had personality. Racism exists nowadays only because we all pay attention to what racism is after MLK wanted to get rid of it. If people watched the characters for what they were, I am sure that they would enjoy their flamboyant and obnoxious personalities. The action sequences are perfection. None are too short, or too long. They are all gripping, and for me had me fidgeting in my seat. There is one particular scene in which Optimus fights Megatron, starscream, and Grindor in a forest which had me smiling and fidgeting; i never do that in a movie. It was easily the best action sequence I have ever seen. Michael Bay made a very decent movie. Not perfect, but Bay managed to create the ultimate summer blockbuster movie which people would not waste their money on. I happen to be one of the few who feel the movie was not long enough fyi.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was probably the best movie I paid to see this summer. I have read so many reviews about plot holes and robots who act like the stereotypical black man. Plot holes: it's funny cause I do not see one Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was probably the best movie I paid to see this summer. I have read so many reviews about plot holes and robots who act like the stereotypical black man. Plot holes: it's funny cause I do not see one example of the plot holes in these reviews. Every time I watch the movie I dont notice any plot holes. As for the stereotypes, If dave chappelle or ice cube would have made this movie would it be an issue. No. Both have used stereotypes in thier films you know why? Because they are funny. Megan Fox's character was so different in this movie because Sam brought out her true self or did you not get that from the first movie. It is one of the reasons she likes him.She does not have to pretend to be anything she is not around him. The only reason I did not give this movie a perfect score is for two reasons. Number one is that during the battle in Shanghai it is very hard to tell who is who and whats going on most of the time. Second reason: Although she is beautiful Megan Fox's acting is not on par with the rest of the cast and it stands out. If you put a bruised apple in the middle of a bunch perfect ones you will notice. Some times its hard to believe she loves Shia's character. All together though Transformers 2 will blow you away with explosive robotic battles and keep the laughs rolling with the funny cast. A must see for anyone who loves comedy, action, and a little lame romance all bundled into a great movie. Expand

Wow! it never seems to amaze me that we pay millions of dollars so that people can tell us what movies are good and what movies are bad. And they are always wrong (in this case Rolling Stone.) Is it not obvious that if the critics say it Wow! it never seems to amaze me that we pay millions of dollars so that people can tell us what movies are good and what movies are bad. And they are always wrong (in this case Rolling Stone.) Is it not obvious that if the critics say it sucks the public raves about it. I wish i had that job. Now down to the point. Transformers 2 was a very well written well done movie. Agreeably i would like to be able to see a little more of the action scenes. Fast moving shots make it hard to see the amazing details. I believe it is only possible to see this movie on an Imax screen. I have to say that he problem of the two bots being degrading and racist are totally and utterly false. Who cares anyway! They are pretend robots. If you are going to take it that seriously then why don't you get upset when Sam's mother cries as he is leaving for college? that is a stereotype of a typical white female mother. Personally i could be offended that the stuck up army man in the suit was portrayed as a stuck up army man in a suit. Does that imply that all men who wear suits and work for the government are stuck up? No. It all comes down to this. It is a movie. You go and sit and pay 10 bucks for a soda to be entertained. I paid $11.50 to sit in a comfy chair for 2 + hours and when i left i was willing to walk right back in and see it again. That is what a movie is supposed to be. It has been a long time since i have been willing to see a movie twice. I would see this again in a second even with its "racism" toward the Chinese (by their buildings being blown up again by large creatures) to the black community (for the one gold tooth and funny quirky slang terms) to the white community for being an emotional, sex obsessed army drivin' race. Personally i am willing to let it all slide for the pure fun or being entertained. Thank you Mr. Bay. I can't wait to see the next one! Keep up the good work. If you're not a fan of the movie try watching Castaway again. Maybe something 3 hours long with 5 min of dialog will help you leave less offended. Expand

Just because the plot isn't good doesn't mean the whole movie isn't good. Surely the plot was horrible, some parts were cheesy, and acting was average, but overall I think it was a great movie for family and friends to enjoy. It contained lots of action, effects, humor, etc. Visual effects we're detailed and clean, the humor was corny but still funny, and lots of fighting. What made this movie really stand out was the action and effects. It isn't the worst movie nor is it the best, but it meets my expectations. I highly recommend it if you are into action based movies. The whole point of watching the movie is to enjoy it, not seeing the plot and everything. It is a very entertaining movie as I see it. Why can't we just all enjoy the movie and have fun? To most people, it's either really good or just plain horrible. And to those people that say anyone rating it a 5 or above is a moron, grow up. It's a damn movie, there is no right or wrong. It's all based on other's opinion. Without doubt, this movie is highly underrated and deserves better. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first movie and this sequel was almost as good. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are great once more, as is the rest of the cast. There are a few issues that I did have though. The number one problem I had was believing that transformers can now replicate human beings perfectly? I didn't read the comics or watch the TV shows so if there's anything in them can gives reason for this I wouldn't know but I don't care. Good movies should be able to stand alone and I have a hard time understanding how transformers can replicate, not just the look of a human, but also the texture of skin, personality, smell, etc. That was just a short segment of the movie so I can't count it against it too much but it still bugged me. Also, why are there way more Decepticons than Autobots and why are the Decepticons always cool things like fighter jets while the Autobots are relegated to various Chevrolet cars and a semi? These things didn't hurt the movie at all it just seems unfair to me. Nonetheless, it was once again an awesome movie with fantastic action-sequences, witty dialogue, solid acting, and an interesting plot. Expand

They could have had Megan fox running in slo-mo for 2 and a half hours, I would have liked the movie. Even if the robots would have fought for 2 and a half hours without saying a word...I still would have liked it. It simply was what I expectd and in terms of flawless special effects, it gave me more than I expected. Not being a Transformers fanboy I would have liked the Decepticons to look a little bit more different, I kept being confused who their leader and who his stupid F-14 side kick was. Anyway...great summer movie, more face time with the Robots and Megan Fox make this definitely a better experience than the first one...go and see it and never trust the Rolling Stone magazine again ragarding a movie rating...0 points...absolutely rediculous!!!!

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

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. Go in with an open mind, let the plot breeze by, and enjoy the fact you don't have to put much effort into enjoying this summer action movie. 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

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 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

The characters are flat and boring, and to make things worse they spend WAY too much time trying to "develop" them. The humor is juvenile at best and completely stupid at worst. The plot is ridiculous and has holes that Devastator could walk through.

My friend from school showed me the trailer and I waited until June of 2009 to see it and I've finally did.

Michael Bay's directing was good, The storyline was almost slow, but some of the scenes were well-paced like the storyline from the first movie. The cinematography and the actors were almost as good, but they were still entertaining, again, the Witwicky family weren't given enough screen time, but were still great. The action scenes were amazing and the humor was as good as the ones in the first.

This movie had won some of the golden raspberry awards, but the negative reviews and the score are way too low for a great movie and one of the highest grossing movies of 2009. If fans of the franchise hated this film will have to deal with the director. Remember that.

At my highest hopes, an 8/10 will make this movie a very good sequel and I'm going to see Transformers 3 tomorrow in theaters.

4.0/5 stars

Things going boom is the point of the movie. How can you give it a bad rating when it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Things went boom. A lot. In all kinds of different ways. It was pretty cool watching things go boom. Oh and they have like some PG-13 ****tease sexuality on display too, but personally... if you aren't going to go all Conan the Barbarian on that, then I say stick to things going boom. Expand

It's arguably one of the stupidest films I've ever seen in my life, but it's a film where you just seriously have to shut your mind off and know you're watching pure garbage. The acting from the humans horrible, the humor beyond horrible, butIt's arguably one of the stupidest films I've ever seen in my life, but it's a film where you just seriously have to shut your mind off and know you're watching pure garbage. The acting from the humans horrible, the humor beyond horrible, but I know for a fact Bay had to have known he wasn't making Citizen Kane, and I can tell that the people making this probably had a lot of fun working on it.

Even still the performances for the Transformers are still fantastic, Cullen is still fantastic as Optimus as is Weaving as Megatron, and the inclusion of Tony Todd as the Fallen did chillingly well. And yes Reno and Tom were a little annoying as those two twins, but as everyone says "It's all Bay's fault for doing that" which is not true. Reno Wilson specifically asked to do make the characters like that and he even improvised some of his own dialogue as did Tom so you can't blame Bay for that characterization when it was the actors decision to do so. And the CG and action is still fantastic as always in these movies, especially the final bout between Optimus, Megatron, and the Fallen.

And yes the humor can be a massive turnoff, hell it was to me at first too, but I have since seen it again since I first saw it and I realized that the movie was meant to be stupid like this, it was the whole idea, and for that I say, it's a load of garbage, but by god if it isn't extremely entertaining garbage.

pretty cool movie. i like most of Michael Bay's movies and the transformer series. But the story is sometimes confusing and bad. But the actions are still pretty good.

I suprisingly enjoyed this film a lot more then the first one. I think the huge flaw for it was the long run time, It definently started to push your nerves while watching it. The run time dragged the film on longer then what it should have.I suprisingly enjoyed this film a lot more then the first one.

Besides that, The acting was fine (yes, even the super hot Megan Fox was alright in it) and the story was fine as well. The special effects were about the same as the first film (good but insanely repetitive) and I agree that it did seem a lot of things were being blown up for no reason other then blowing them up and hoping people think it looks cool (it doesnt). It was annoying seeing the transformers transform 15+ times in the film. Also the action sequences were terrible and didnt have any excitement, Also it was hard to tell who was battling who when the camera is so close up and the autobots and decepticons are so large.

Overall the film was still rather good and I enjoyed it.

Es mala, muyRevisada esta segunda parte de la saga "Transformers" tengo pocas cosas que añadir con respecto a la primera entrega. Muy buen entretenimiento. Yo me lo paso como un niño pequeño viendo destrucciones, acción y efectos especiales. Es mala, muy mala en cuanto al guión, desarrollo de los personajes, se saca cosas de la manga cada veinte minutos. Pero yo creo que esta película se la toma a risa el propio director, y se ve en muchas fases de la película, muchas veces se rie del americanismo, entre otras cosas.

En definitiva, poco que añadir. Muy muy muy entretenida las 2 horas y media se pasan como 1h y 20 minutos, y por lo tanto, lo que yo espero de esta película me lo da con creces y la valoro por lo que "espero - me da" que es DIVERSIÓN a raudales.

Just as good as the original. The story was great, and continued the characters stories very. Of course the acting and CGI are great, and it is even better than the originals.

The movie was a really good thing to me because i pesonally love Transformers, and some of Megan Foxes cleavage.

And I also LOVED the fact that there were twice as many transformers in it such as the Arcee twins, The Fallen, Sideswipe, and Jotl (the one who links up Jetfires heart to Optimus). What I did't like though was the story was relatively confusing. It added up but it was confusing. Similair to a math lesson not yet learned. But the graphics are good, the transformers are awesome, and Megan Foxes boobs are huge. Thats my rating. Expand

Oh sure, it was devoid of cutting edge story. But, anyone who gives this film a poor review probably never took a basic college writing course.

I therefore rate it based upon its ability to be a mindless funfest. These poor reviews come from people who want a good story, they want this, they want that... movies can only carry so much. Bear in mind that pros created this movie. If they wanted to convey another aura, they would. Expand

Transformers 2 is not as serious as the first, and being as the first wasn't very serious, well that says a lot! However I really enjoyed this movie, its the first time in a while that iv'e been in a Cinema where the audience have Transformers 2 is not as serious as the first, and being as the first wasn't very serious, well that says a lot! However I really enjoyed this movie, its the first time in a while that iv'e been in a Cinema where the audience have all started applauding at a great joke/scene. It has some terrible scenes, but it also has some superb ones, and overall its a fun film. Go see it if you want a fun, cheesy, un-serious action flick. Don't expect in-depth story lines or a life changing film, just go for a laugh and you will enjoy it! Expand

Humorous, loud, long, thats what this movie was created for. Sure, Transformers 2 wasn't the best, but it was worth it as a summer movie. It's all you need for a perfectly fine time at the movies.

It was amazingly action packed and I cannot get enough of Megan Fox! Except for Shia, the acting was horrendous but that was expected. The 1 hour climax scene was a little bit annoying, but all in all I had fun.

Summer blockbusters should be a movie that majority of the public can enjoy. Watching T2 feels a lot like watching Bad Boys 2 in terms of explosion & intense scene but lacking on storyline progression. I think with unexpected success of the Summer blockbusters should be a movie that majority of the public can enjoy. Watching T2 feels a lot like watching Bad Boys 2 in terms of explosion & intense scene but lacking on storyline progression. I think with unexpected success of the first movie the director feels why not make it bigger & badder & rake in more money just like waht Dead Man chest had achieved. Clearly this movie was not made for the critics so I would rate it higher as a normal moviegoer. Expand
