Nothing needs to be said about how terrible this movie is, every already knows its a pile of crap made to look like a gleaming golden monolith through the use of special effects.

I give it 5 for special effects. I'm not sure who is the demographic for this picture. Clearly the major appeal will be to teenagers and preteens but the language and Megan Fox crotch-shots pretty much eliminate any kids under 12. As an I give it 5 for special effects.

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 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

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

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

Plenty of people from several different races talk like them. The sexual innuendos and the language did through it off a little for me. I lost respect from Sideswipe as he announces, "Damn I'm good" while looking a little ballerinaish.

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

However, I left the theater satisfied; so much so that I actually saw it again in IMAX a few weeks later. It's less than meets the eye this time around, but it's still enjoyable.… Expand

Also, Jetfire, they created his character with the premise that he is a very old, ancient cybertronian, but they "again" with all the horrible humor, had him walk around with a cane?, and his pieces fall of his body as he walked around, they revived him with the AllSpark sliver, but its still a fragment of the AllSpark, and that in itself gives them life, so this is just simply a ridiculous venture in the movie. There are so many issues about this movie, but its to much to add here, i give this movie a 2, because they showed a very done fight between Optimus & the 3 Decepticons, but only because it was very nice eye candy, If Optimus had a hard time facing off against Megatron in the First, how he could hold off Him, StarScream, & Blackout (The Helicopter) is a pretty huge inconsistency in the Story line yet again… Expand

Easily the worst movie of 2009. Zero script. Zero acting. Zero character depth (I'm referring to the Transformers - although the human characters were quite superficial as well).

Zero character depth (I'm referring to the Transformers - although the human characters were quite superficial as well). In terms of presentation, the CGI was also dreadful. I couldn't tell who is who since the transformers look almost identical to each other. Even worse, they all just look like a pile of cogs, wires, and bolts. Pretty awful design... A film needs first and foremost a good, solid, coherent script. The rest come easy and natural once a good storyline has been established. The biggest mistake of Transformers & Transformers II is that the Transformers are playing supporting roles while Shia LeDouche and Megan Faux are the main characters. There are two major flaws with this : 1. The movie is called TRANSFORMERS !!! Which means humans are optional and even if their involvement is deemed necessary, they are ultimately unimportant. For example : Who cares if LeDouche goes to college? Why should we care? WHY? What if he had gone fishing? Would that have any effect on the movie plot-wise? What if he had gone to Las Vegas to gamble and party with prostitutes? Speaking of prostitutes, why is Megan Fox dressed like one? This is supposed to be a movie based of children's toys! 2. LeDouche & Faux cannot act. That is a fact, NOT my opinion. Neither of them can act. Period. The bad humor, the cliche and insulting stereotypes, and especially the nonsensical plot completely destroy what could have been a nice, enjoyable movie. It's sad that people like this $200 million crapfest. It wasn't entertaining even a bit. Transformers II is not worth neither your money nor your time. My advice : Just stay away from this movie.… Expand

The action sequences, in my opinion, do a decent job of depicting what a real transformer battle might be like. The Decepticons are just about as ruthless as the terminators in Terminator:Salvation. As far as entertainment value, I loved it.… Expand

To give you an idea of just how horrific it is: the movie features three separate scenes of small animals and even a transformer humping legs, midget humor, several instances of testicle jokes, and Devestator has visible testicles. In addition, one of the new additions to the Autobot family are a set of twin robots that, as near as I can tell, are either racist portrayals of black-face actors or a satire of the mentally handicapped.

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

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

Not every movie has to TRY to be an epic drama, there I can't stand movie critics anymore. 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 am so shocked that this movie got low ratings. I am pretty deep into sci-fi Films and this movie is more well thought out than people realize. I wanted Terminator Salvations to be great, but I can't say that it was, but Transformers I am so shocked that this movie got low ratings. I am pretty deep into sci-fi Films and this movie is more well thought out than people realize. I wanted Terminator Salvations to be great, but I can't say that it was, but Transformers was very well thought out and goes into the origins of the Transformers. Some of the stuff could have been left out, but as a whole it was much better than the first. Felt like I was watching the 80s cartoon. Plus trying to interpret much of the film leaves one to really think and even apply some biblical scriptures. Perhaps it's not for the weak of mind after all.… Expand

Racist and juvenile jokes aside, this movie was just bad. Explosions can't take place of good or even competent writing.

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

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.
