People are just giving it low ratings because they obviously do not know what Transformers is. Who cares about human touch? The people who are complaining about the who talk about human touch are so wrong. Its about the Transformers mainly People are just giving it low ratings because they obviously do not know what Transformers is. Who cares about human touch? The people who are complaining about the who talk about human touch are so wrong. Its about the Transformers mainly and the action. It felt more like the cartoon. Which is a good thing. 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

Seriously, if you go into this movie expecting some great dramatic presentation, you're not only dumb and miss the point of the film... but you're dumb and miss the point of the film. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a massive movie that is designed to be nothing more than an exciting presentation of impossible situations accented by massive robots blowing crap up and some cleverly humorous dialogue. There are plenty of throwbacks to the classic series, which is a plus; but overall the movie is just about large scale fun. I enjoyed it immensely.… Expand

I wanted this movie to be so good but I came out so disappointed. The first 45 minutes isnt hardly any robots and more like a national lampoon movie complete about 50 different sexual jokes that only a 13 year old would find amusing.

The robots are again pushed to the back of the movie even though clearly it is called Transformers not Humans: with special guest cameos by transformers. The movie starts to get good and takes a serious turn when it will be ruined by another fart joke or silly robot. How are hyper evolved robots so goofy? The few action scenes that had transformers were good but sadly the dialogue for the robots is still crappy except for Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving.… Expand

Listen to me: I paid to see Armageddon and Pearl Harbor when they were in theaters. I own copies of The Island and The Rock. I walked out of Revenge of the Fallen after 2 hours. I'd ask for my money back if I thought there was a chance I'd get it. Speilberg produced this crap? Come on, Steve! Did you read the script or did you get a tax write off for hiring the mentally challenged?! Absolute garbage. Peter Travers just scored some big points with me for telling it like it is.

(***SELF-POLICING SPOILER ALERT***) "I don't get it," objects Josh Baskin(Tom Hanks) after his colleague's presentation of a new toy line(skyscrapers that transform into robots) fails to excite his twelve-year-old self in Penny (***SELF-POLICING SPOILER ALERT***) "I don't get it," objects Josh Baskin(Tom Hanks) after his colleague's presentation of a new toy line(skyscrapers that transform into robots) fails to excite his twelve-year-old self in Penny Marshall's "Big". Cars that transform into robots are easier to get, but my inner twelve-year-old self(recently excited by J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek") was equally unimpressed. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" plays like a response to Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Team America: World Police", which expertly lampooned the bombast of major studio action movies, including this filmmaker's entire ouevre. French landmarks are leveled by the marionette puppets, impervious of its historical significance, whereas the Egyptian pyramids in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", seem inevitable for destruction, and is, when one of the Decepticons and Optimus Prime go roboto-a-roboto upon its ancient angled surface, without any awareness that their fighting venue is one of the world's seven wonders. This "America, f*** yeah" attitude had reared its ugly head in "Bad Boys 2" too, in which a car chase leads to the plowing of third world tenement homes as if nobody occupied these humble abodes. They're unseen. Interestingly enough, the filmmaker stages a likeminded chase through the Shanghai ghetto, but this time, he has the decency to show an old man seated at his table while the mayhem goes on behind him. That's what passes for a sensitive side with the guy who's made only one passable film to date("The Island"). Most offensive of all is the mind-numbing action that takes place in Egypt, as the war between the Decepticons and Autobots seemingly goes on forever, as if we cared about its outcome.… Expand

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 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

The inclusion of the two punk gansta flavored What a surprise Micheal Bay still cannot direct a movie; actually it is not a surprise. The man knows how to makes things explode, but his direction of the transformers movies has gotten worse. The inclusion of the two punk gansta flavored Transformers have lame and terribler humour, which actually goes perfectly with the rest of the films terrible sense of humour. It is also a bad joke that classics like Ironhide get no screentime as compared to those hick gangsters. Micheal Bay also loses points for the treatment of battles. The decipticons are made to be cooler, but it is impossible to believe that one autobot dies as compared to 50 decepticons. It is complete and utter trash with the fault falling on the dirrector and writters, but the other thing is enough with Meghan Fox and Shia Lebeouf; they have served their purpose and Im tired of every spielberg film needing that un-tallented actor. Transformers will do regardless, but it shou;d not because the people in charge of the film did nothing to benefit the transformers legacy, and to Micheal Bay I say how disappointed that you think you are all that killing off Arcee just cause you did not like her. Total Garbage only because of the fault of the people directing.… Expand

FH and I went to see Transformers 2 at the Olathe 30, and for those of you who haven't tried it, I HIGHLY recommend the Fork & Screen of Cinema Suites options for movies there! They rock. ANYWAY, I digress. Transformers 2: I loved the FH and I went to see Transformers 2 at the Olathe 30, and for those of you who haven't tried it, I HIGHLY recommend the Fork & Screen of Cinema Suites options for movies there! They rock. ANYWAY, I digress. Transformers 2: I loved the first Transformers movie, I really did, which may be why I felt that this one was so lacking. Not only was there exponentially more swearing in this (Was it really necessary to say $hit and A$$ and F-bomb more than a dozen times each?), it was shot poorly. The angles were bad, too close for most of the movie, except when it was too far out (where it mattered). On top of that, it was cut like crap. It seems like the director and producer took a perfectly good film strip and threw it on some broken glass, then taped it back together and used that to ship out. Also, there were some "new faces" in the form of more Autobots. A particular pair of these, dubbed "The Twins" give JarJar Binks a run for his money as the most cliche, most horribly written, why the hell did they even leave you in the movie, supporting role. All they do is say "Token Black-Guy" phrases, made doubly offensive by the faux gold teeth and the inability to read. Holy poor stereotypes, Batman! All in all, not a movie I'd take the kiddos to, unless you want them dropping F-bombs and saying $hit every other phrase. Sadly, I would pass on this until it hits the RedBox... and even then, I may hesitate wasting a dollar on it.… Expand

Many of the more highly rated reviews for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, attempt to take a defensive stance on their view of the movie, by stating that it is supposed to be a Summer Blockbuster, and that you don't need story or Many of the more highly rated reviews for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, attempt to take a defensive stance on their view of the movie, by stating that it is supposed to be a Summer Blockbuster, and that you don't need story or well developed characters to enjoy it. I suppose it comes down to personal taste. I went in to this film having ADORED the first, even in light of being a long time Transformers fan. While there were a few needless cringe-worthy moments in the first film, (see: Sam's Happy Time?) I thought it was well made, and held you to your seats with a rather gripping story. While there were a few well-executed comedic moments in that film, it was done in moderation so that it didn't envelope the grander scheme of things. That being said, I went into Revenge of the Fallen with a great deal of excitement. In the first ten minutes of the movie, I was hooked. This started with a BANG like none other. Unfortunately it was downhill from there until the final 30 minutes of the movie. Without giving any spoilers, let me give you a brief rundown of why I consider this such an abysmal waste: -GangstaBots: I don't know who's idea it was or why, perhaps some ill-placed sense of inclusion, but early in the film, two twin autobots are introduced, and they are instantly recognizable racial stereotypes. Jazz, from the first film, was a very subtle move in that direction, but this was just offensive. Imagine crossing StarWars' Jar-Jar Binks with any character from "The Parkers" and you'll have an idea of where I'm going with this. I understand the need for some comedy in these films, but this was laughably bad. Since when does an action movie get it's kicks from genital humor and leg-humping mini-bots? -Too much cheesy comedy: I mentioned this a bit earlier in the review, but the comedy in a film like this should not outweigh the action in regards to screen time. It would make less of a difference if it was clever comedy, but the scripting has 'dumbed down' the jokes and made Transformers curse and swear just to get cheap laughs. Not to mention that the brunt of the humor is sexual in nature. And not in a classy way. -Designs: Okay, my only qualm about this one is the design a 'microbot' that turns into an R/C truck. When in his robot form, the R/C just looks badly designed and sloppy. Scratch that. He looks stupid. -Two Characters Sam interacts with from his college. One male that will (unfortunately) be there for the rest of the movie, and female that has a thing for Sam. Just watch the movie. Neither one should be anywhere near it. -Finally, the introduction of a human pseudo-villain working for the Government. While this worked well in the overall plot of the first film, it had ZERO need or impact on the main plot of the second. I've walked out of one film in my life, and to say that there were multiple times during this one that I wanted to get up and leave. Bad form, Michael Bay. Bad form… 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

Why did Bay even put real actors in this movie? its seems to me that everybody besides the robots were just extra's. Except Megan Fox. She was there for the horny little boys who get sick of the cgi battles and jive talking robots.

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

Really, this may have been the worst movie that I have ever seen. And I didn't have very high expectations, I saw glimmers of promise in the first one, and hoped that they would redeem the franchise with a decent story filled with great action. That's not what I got. Instead it was a terrible, grinding slew of nonsense. I mean, I'm not demanding at all for this type of a movie. I'd like a simple story, a little character development - I mean, something to care about! Here's the problem Michael Bay has. How do you show two 50 ton robots crashing into each other and make it believable? Got no idea? Neither does he, so he resorts to dizzying closeups, shaky camera work and turns UP the volume. The result is that even the action is awful. Megan Fox exists purely as eye-candy. If you are going to stoop as low as this movie does, couldn't you at least get a couple of nude scenes out of her? I'm not sure why Shia Lebouef is even in the movie. All he does is run around, yell and sweat. An hour in to this schlockfest, I really wanted to leave. I even started to feel like leaving wasn't enough, like I needed to burn down the movie theater or something for subjecting me to that movie. I wish I could give it a negative number for the rating. 0 is way to generous. There is absolutely nothing, NOTHING, redeeming about this movie.… Expand

It's worth seeing once if you're into Michael Bay movies, but if you ever pick up the DVD, I guarantee that you'll be fast-forwarding quite a bit during the slow middle and probably notice the quantity of testicle jokes.… 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

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.

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

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 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

The most amazing film I've seen in ages - ignore the bad reviews from critics justifying their job - if you simply want to be entertained and amazed, go see it.

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 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

Final Review of Transformers. Overlong, under-plotted, no character development, and the fight scenes were shot badly. Predictable, not even a little bit fun.

It's not the great American movie experience, but it's an amazing summer action blockbuster.

It's not a stuffy english drama - it's a stupid american action flick with million-dollar worth walking robots. The soundtrack was great, sound effects blew my mind (and ears), the visuals were breathtaking... the only thing I didn't like was that, apparently, Michael Bay doesn't use the zoom-out function of his cameras. I'd really like to see the transformations from greater distance. Still, it was a good movie, I left the cinema deaf, but entertained… Expand

This movie is like the first Transformers x 20....but not in a good way. Everything has been juiced up and maxed out from the visuals, sounds, and explosions....It's all visceral eye candy, but just way too much going on for my taste. This movie is like the first Transformers x 20....but not in a good way. Everything has been juiced up and maxed out from the visuals, sounds, and explosions....It's all visceral eye candy, but just way too much going on for my taste. 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. Other than that, stay away from this movie if you can't stand Megan Fox or if you are prone to epilepsy .… Expand

D C said it all-- It's a Summer blockbuster designed to be really fun for 2 and 1/2 hours. Some of the dissent on this movie is really pretty silly.

I learned more than 20 years ago to NEVER trust a movie critic since most of them seem to suffer from permanent idiocy.

Overall quite good, about on par with the first one. The fight scenes are still cluttered messes but a little more coherent this time and impressive. The story isn't excellent but has a good pace and plays off the cast's strengths. Overall quite good, about on par with the first one.

That being said 1. the previews/commercials spoiled too much 2. i could have done without the toilet humour, and most of the scenes involving sam's parents, sam's dogs, and about half the scenes involving sam in the first hour. 3. adding almost a dozen supporting characters without really introducing them and generally just creating space filler on screen.… Expand

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.

This movie was awesome. I don't understand all these people having trouble with the plot. It was funny, full of action, and by far the best movie of the summer.
