Seriously? Farting and burping robots. Megan fox being called hot by a robot? Racially misrepresented robots. There are 2 robots in the movies that are obviously suppose to be "black" and they made the really dumb and couldn't read. If I was African American, I would be completely offended. And the little cheesy love conversations between Shia and Megan Fox makes me think that Michael Bay is a lonely nerd that is living out his love life vicariously through these two oddly paired actors. The first movie rocked... this one just eats rocks.… Expand

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is another two and a half hour GM commercial with nothing new or authentic at its core.

IThis sequel lacks the certain overall charm that permeated the first movie. While the story didn't wow me in the first robot romp, the stunning visuals and quirky human characters had me entertained the entirety of the first films duration. I really wanted to like Revenge of the Fallen and I went into the movie with an open mind (as well as the knowledge that it had a pretty crummy reputation with the critics). The movie started out well enough and i remembered thinking to myself; "What are these critics talking about, this is a decent action flick?" Then the atrocious humor started to kick in. The humor started out innocent enough and i chuckled at a few crude jokes, but as the film continued the multitude of terrible jokes became relentless. Once the third act of the movie started I thought that the final battle would kick in and the action would cancel out the crude jokes. Much to my dismay not even the final battle was safe from the "humor" (a scene involving large transformer testicles comes to mind). It didn't help that the final battle was a little on the boring side. All in all Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was a disappointment, it wasn't the worst film by any means, it was just all over the place not knowing when to take itself seriously. Overall I did have fun with it there was still plenty of spectacular action sequences to gawk at (most notably the forrest battle) and a plethora of nifty explosions, courtesy of Michael Bay himself. The movie just needed some more focus and it would have been more of a solid installment in the Transformers saga, but there's no going back now. In the words of Optimus Prime, "I send this message so that our past will always be remembered. For in those memories, we live on".… Expand

Bloated and excessive sequel from Michael Bay, with a 'more is more' approach seemingly applied in producing the second Transformers film.

Revenge of the Fallen's plot will appeal to both sci-fi fans and fans of the franchise, however BayBloated and excessive sequel from Michael Bay, with a 'more is more' approach seemingly applied in producing the second Transformers film.

Revenge of the Fallen's plot will appeal to both sci-fi fans and fans of the franchise, however Bay overshadows the story by packing the film full of exhaustingly repetitive action sequences to the point of saturation. The characters and plot appear to just be something to fill the time with in between rounds of the contest.
For the first two thirds of the film, the human characters are largely sacrificed for the breakneck speed at which the plot hurtles along towards the next robot royal rumble.

As goofy and frantic as before, Shia LaBeouf is responsible for most good things in the film. On the other hand, the writers really failed with the addition of the annoying Leo (Ramon Rodriguez) and the two wise-cracking and Autobot twins, complete with racial slurs.

Applying a bigger is better philosophy, the cast of Transformers seems to have multiplied ten fold from the first film. The new Transformers are never properly introduced, and the vast number makes it difficult to identify the main characters amongst all the flying metal and exploding scenery.

At this point it should be mentioned that the CGI is impressive and the Transformer battle scenes are visually top notch. This usually counts for something in a film which relies on effects so heavily but the novelty of seeing cars and planes transform into robots was worn out in the original and so counts for less second time around. In all honesty I think Bay could have halved the budget and re-used the Transformer battle footage from the original given how unmemorable the battle scenes are in Revenge of the Fallen. Not likely to attract new fans to the Transformers series and worthwhile only for die hard fans.… Expand

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

That said, I didn't LIKE the film either: it's horribly written, poorly acted, and way too long for its own good, but "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," if you know what you're getting into, is not the worst film ever made (Please, internet, don't hate me for saying such a thing). That said, it's not GOOD, and I'd recommend you turn your brain off when you watch this film, otherwise you won't get the full effect.… Expand

Good: The Visual Effects look as amazing as they are in all of the Transformers movie, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and Hugo Weaving as Megatron, the forest fight scene, Jetfire had some funny humor (minus one fart joke with a parachute)

Bad: The plot has too much going on at the same time, Except for some of Jetfires humor, none of the other humor in the movie worked (it can be a bit racist some times), Shia Labeouf is really annoying some times. His roommate Leo is a joke of a character, Megan Fox was terrible in the movie and the twin Autobots are the Jar Jar Binks for the Transformers franchise… Expand

The animation just didn't cut it this time and except for several comical moments and the aforementioned animation, this movie just doesn't offer anything.

As it lumbers up the dusty colossus, a shot tilts up to its mid-section, revealing two wrecking balls dangling down. Yes, Michael Bay, the man whocomprised of several construction vehicles, set on clawing its way to the peak of a pyramid. As it lumbers up the dusty colossus, a shot tilts up to its mid-section, revealing two wrecking balls dangling down. Yes, Michael Bay, the man who brought us cyber-micturition in this movie’s predecessor, has one-upped himself: Decepticon testicles.

If the thought of that gag makes you laugh, chances are you’ll have a ball with Revenge Of The Fallen. If not… well, Bay really doesn’t care. His first and only sequel since Bad Boys 2 is, like that film, marked by swaggering confidence, wild excess and a string of bad-taste jokes. Dogs hump each other, robots hump human legs and the camera spends so much time ogling Megan Fox’s torso you start to wonder if it’s being operated by a 13 year-old boy. There are now 42 robots, including one that looks like a jaguar, one that can turn into ball bearings to access high-security areas and one in the form of a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

It all looks good on paper, as does the added-value 150-minute run time. But it’s a case of same meal, bigger portion, with the flaws of the first not only present but accentuated. You’ll be even more hard pressed at the end of this one to remember which robot’s which — there are three or four new Gremlin-esque ones that chitter and skitter about like the first movie’s Frenzy — and few get more than a scene before Bay’s attention flits elsewhere. Even the Fallen, an Emperor figure to Megatron’s Darth Vader, who can hurl tanks around with the aid of his jagged staff, is only blandly nefarious.

The plot, meanwhile, is as baffling as before, not only bringing back the abstruse Allspark but throwing in a new MacGuffin called the ‘Matrix of Leadership’. It tries harder to be funny but is actually less so, despite Shia LaBeouf working some early new-kid-on-campus schtick, Rainn Wilson amusing in a single scene as a rock-star astronomy teacher, and John Turturro doing an entertaining reprise of MIB wannabe Simmons (“What you’re about to see is top secret: do not tell my mother”). This is a film that doesn’t know where to stop — even comic-relief characters get their own comic-relief characters, like the offensively irritating Twins, who bicker in hip-hop slang, or Wheels, a turncoat Decepticon who for some reason talks like a ‘30s screen gangster.

What saves it, just about, are the effects. At times the frame is so packed with whirring cogs and twirling cranks that you could replicate the effect by staring at the innards of a domestic appliance, but when these CG moto-men from another world duke it out, the images are often so screwy it’s impossible to do anything but sit and stare. The Shanghai-set opening sequence is lunatic fun, with Optimus Prime leaping onto the face of a colossal, rampaging unicycle and ordering it to, “Pull over”. And while Prime’s later forest face-off against a trio of Decepticons suffers by comparison to a recent film’s spar between a big ape and three dinosaurs, there are more flawlessly rendered money shots in the last 40 minutes alone than in a dozen less ambitious blockbusters.

It’s just a shame there aren’t more ideas behind the spectacle, since we’re not given much in the way of compelling reasons to root for one pixelly pugilist over another. Long before the final minute it’s become a numbing, wearying viewing experience. Next time could we have less balls and more brains?

A super-sized second helping, but the novelty factor and some of the charms gone. Hey, at least theres more Megatron / Starscream squabbling this time round.… Expand

I really liked the first movie so there was no way I could believe that THIS franchise could possibly be bad (although I did see that later on, I didn't see it here). In my review of the first movie I said how I got interested in the Transformers franchise after watching it, since I didn't know this was actually a toys company and not an anime series. If that movie was just the introduction, this was where the real action takes place.
I saw Revenge of the Fallen on Amazon Prime soon after the first one. I only had one week left before my Prime subscription would expire, so I had only decided to dedicate this time to watching all the Transformers movies so that I could understand what this franchise is all about. Unlike the future movie this one actually expanded on what was established at the first movie. Although the human characters were not as interesting as the previous movie and the story was also pretty much empty, the action scenes completely made up for it.
As usual the CGI and action was very good. The new characters introduced were fun to watch. I really like to see it when new characters are brought in and given their own character development as they transform into cool cars. However not everything about this movie was good. Like I said above the human characters were not as interesting. The entire blood about Sam going to college and his parents continuously pestering him was very annoying. This was the last time we got to see Mikaela, which is also something very sad IYKWIM.
This movie was able to explain very well the entire concept of Transformers, something that the prequel fail to do so. Before I used to think that Autobots and Decepticons are supposed to be cars, but now I know that they are actually robots which can turn themselves into whatever they see in front of them. I would definitely give a rewatch afterwards sometime in the future whenever I have to show this franchise to a new generation.… Expand

As soon as the credits rolled on this spectacle, I said to myself, "Well, they sure did blow a lot of [stuff] up." There's nothing wrong with that and it's entirely what I expected from this movie. If that's all you go in As soon as the credits rolled on this spectacle, I said to myself, "Well, they sure did blow a lot of [stuff] up." There's nothing wrong with that and it's entirely what I expected from this movie. If that's all you go in expecting, you should enjoy it. On the other hand, if you're hoping for a salient plot and interesting characters to go along with your sci fi and explosions, you'll be disappointed. Terminator 2 it's not. The movie powers it's way through one of the least cohesive scripts imaginable, replete with two-dimensional cliché characters and nonsensical dialog. Throughout the whole debacle, the production team repeatedly tries to to write itself out of the corners they've painted themselves into, as if nobody had any idea where the storyline was going before they started writing. New characters and explanations are thrown in as late as 10 minutes before the climactic ending. Directing a movie like this is really more about directing the effects department than anything. On that front, my only complaint is that occasionally the transformers are shot so close when fighting each other that it's hard to tell what's happening and to whom. I'm not sure it's even fair to judge a project like this using traditional standards like writing and directing, but if you do, it's dismal. Overall, I'd give it a 2, but for the genre it's a 6, so I'm calling it a 4.… 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

However, it was on HBO the other night, and I said, "what the heck," and decided to give it a shot. After two or two and a half LONG hours, it was over, and my thought was "Well, it wasn't good, but it wasn't THAT bad!" If there is one thing that Michael Bay can do consistently well, it's that he can make the pictures that make up the film "pop." The actors looked fantastic (especially Josh Duhamel, Tyrese and Megan Fox, who either could be or are models anyway), the locations were gorgeous (especially the Egyptian scenes), and the Transformers themselves beautifully constructed - shiny and colorful, just like they should be. The problem, then, is that Bay has a horrendous eye for cinematography and editing. For some reason, he thinks it is a good idea to film scenes of dialogue and actual emotion on characters' faces from far away, and then film action scenes from so close-up that it is hard to tell who is where at what time in the given action sequence. I swear, at least half of the close shots were ones I thought would have made more sense to film from far away, and at least half of the long shots were ones I thought would have made more sense to film close-in. When you add those factors to editing that can practically induce seizures, the film is just exhausting to try to keep up with. And the dialogue, good god the dialogue is terrible. I know this was a summer action movie, so I didn't have high expectations for the dialogue anyway, but I expect better than this. Almost every line was like something you would find as a bumper sticker slogan or on a Hallmark card. Many of the older, more experienced supporting actors/actresses actually made some of these crap lines work, like John Turturro and the man and woman who played Mr./Mrs. Witwicky, but the younger ones like Duhamel, Tyrese and Fox didn't stand a chance (they are pretty bland actors to begin with). However, the title for worst actor has to go to Shia LeBeouf as Sam Witwicky. His idea of acting in this movie seemed more like a portrayal of a meth addict than of a smart teenage boy starting his first year of college. I just don't understand the love over this kid; he has played that same hyperactive type in every film I have seen him in, and I don't find it cute. I just want to smack him. On top of the bad dialogue and mediocre acting are some very nasty, negative themes. In Bay movies, hundreds of thousands of people die and hundreds of thousands of acres of land are destroyed, but it is all done in the name of entertainment, so hey, who cares? There is no attempt at making the deaths or destruction mean anything, and, in that sense, it cheapens the entire experience. Also, young women are not seen as real people in Bay's movies, but as objects to fulfill men's desires. It is really pathetic how misogyny just runs rampant throughout this film...and these female actors just go along with it, playing the pretty, shallow idiots just like they are told. And don't even get me started on the "black" robots, who just so happen to also be the characters who can't read. I think my mouth fell open and I gasped when they said they are illiterate - are audiences really O.K. with that? Because I'm not. The one factor that allows me to move my rating out of the red and into the yellow is the story, which is pretty neat in concept. Unfortunately, that concept is not carried out very well by Bay, but the major storyboard points are interesting enough and make sense in the context of the Transformers' universe. Obviously, based on my review, you can tell I think this movie is very flawed and mediocre. However, in hindsight, I am kind of shocked at how bad those reviews/comments were that I mentioned before. I was expecting to really despise "Revenge of the Fallen," and there are definitely many aspects of the movie that I do despise, but I would watch this again before I watched "The Last Airbender" or that god awful "Twilight - Eclipse" any day of the week.… Expand

The biggest action flick of the summer is also one of the biggest disappointments of the summer. Now before I get into my Ã¢rantÃ¢? of what I think of this movie, I want to acknowledge that many people loved this movie, and I can understand why. It is more than two hours of crazy special effects and plenty of Megan Foxx to look at. All of this is fine, but I believe all these fancy things do not save the movie from having a subpar story. Before I touch on the many let downs of this movie let me mention the visual effects for a moment: they are breathtaking. I almost recommend seeing the movie just to see some of the best effects of the year. Now I must touch on the bad side of the film. The main thing that was wrong with this film is the plot. It just felt too jumbled. It felt like they tried to shove a bunch of things that go nowhere to develop a story and hoped if all of these elements were combined it would make a good plot. It is possible to sum this movie up in less than sixty minutes, but the film clocks out at a whopping one hundred and forty seven minutes. The dialog was no saving grace for this film either. I really do not know if the dialog writing was bad, or if it was written this way on purpose, but either way it is just not fitting at all. Also the stereotypical Ã¢gangstaÃ¢? robots, all I have to ask is why? Finally, even though I praise these special effects, there were action scenes that just left me Ã¢lostÃ¢?. The fight scenes were too confusing, but I guess you cannot expect much better from a fight scene between multiple gigantic robots.

As a fan of both the Transformers toys as a child and the first movie, I went into this movie hoping for something good but worried I was going to be drastically let down. Being let down describes perfectly how I felt as soon as the credits rolled. The whole time I was watching the film I was awed by the glossiness of the effects, but I had to keep asking myself, Ã¢As a whole do I really enjoy this?Ã¢? The answer is a clear no.… Expand

While the film delivers on giving us action, comedy, hot girls and cars...what's funny is how I did not enjoy it at all. The pretty girls are a distraction to the film's thinly written script, their pretty faces are to distract from their terrible acting and the overuse of action and special effects are to distract teenage boys, when you cannot even tell which robot is evil and which one is good.

Michael Bay clearly crossed a line when he wanted to make this sequel, it is only two years after the original film was released, so the studio may have rushed him to make another box office money printer.

Bay should have just tried to re-imagine the story, he should have just tried to actually make a sequel to surpass the original with a gripping story instead of just executing it with bombastic special effects that get boring after a while and comic relief that is more offensive than it is funny. There is some racist jokes that clearly are not funny.

Why didn't he go insane before. Because it's Transformers, no one cares what happened in the last one right? The character of Leo annoyed me so much, he is Jar Jar Binks of this movie.

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

Boy, did I regret that decision. It was a terrible movie! Convoluted storyline, no real plot to speak of, overly loud, cheesy, cringe-worthy 'humour', bad acting, no character development. The story didn't even make sense. It's like they created one big explosion sequence, then tried to build a story around that. The duration is too long and drawn out unnecessarily. The only saving grace was the special effects, which were okay.… Expand

I'll break it down into plus This movie from start to finish was the most god-awful thing I've ever seen in my entire life. 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

This was just one long transformer fight and after 2.5 hours, it got boring and tiring. The story line was stupid and so was much of the acting, especially Sam's mom. UGH.

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

Also, we need weapons, kids love that, we'll bring in the biggest army in the world and bombard those kids' amazed eyes with tons of explosions, maybe they'll end up in the army one day. Oh yea make sure All the cars in the movie are branded GM, that's good patriotism and product placement, and by the way Optimus must be red and blue so that the kids can identify their flag with him... What else? Oh yea a bit of culture as well.... let's see... how about France and eating snails? Or Egypt, the veil and camels? Make sure they look real fucking poor... Check...

HOW did the filmmakers mess up its sequel so bad?! It's truly saddening. Transformers 2 lacks the creativity, chemistry, thrills, and, most of all, magic, of the first film. 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? Of course, other questions came up, but listing them all would only take up more of my precious time. Time I don't want to spend thinking about this horrible movie again.… Expand
