Even though my brother and father hated the movie, I found this movie to be pretty funny. Sure, it isn't the best film in the world, but it is fun. It also makes fun of President Barack Obama a tad. The first forty-five minutes of this Even though my brother and father hated the movie, I found this movie to be pretty funny. Sure, it isn't the best film in the world, but it is fun. It also makes fun of President Barack Obama a tad. The first forty-five minutes of this movie were the best, but the rest of the film was still good. I would rate this movie a six and a half, but since I can only vote zero-ten, I rounded it down to a six. I would recommend that you see this film, but again, it is not the end of the world if you don't.… Expand

The producers and writers should never get a chance to write another movie again. Most of us would wash our kids mouths out with soap if they talked to us in public the way these actors talked. It was a let down to say the least. The action was awesome, but that don't count for anything at this point. disgraceful.… Expand

I can see what Andrew H is saying to an extent, but why would the filmmakers only want to make money off of fans. A GOOD film should be one that everyone can enjoy. Not just fans who want a little nostalgia.

Michael will always be a great action-film director, but this time he really abused of close-ups to the robots, sometimes you cant really understand whats happening until at last you see a dead robot fall. He also left real acting for the twin robot wich at the end of the film you did not end up on really caring about them. As for the real life human actors, the plot itself cuts them out, they dont do anything more than scream, or pose in the case of Megan. I have to say i do went to see this movie because i liked the first one a lot, other reason was because of Megan. I do love her she is so hot, but that doesn't quit her of being the bad actrees she is, and also the stupidity that lies in his head an in his voice. Anyone who has seen "How to loose friends and Alienate people" would understand my point, what i mean is, she was so stupid to take the role in that movie of a moviestar that lacks of talent but has sex-appeal. It is a critic to all that she is rigth now,!!… Expand

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

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

I'm going to defend it on the fact that everyone said they wanted more of the Transformers and more action. Well, Michael Bay gave you just that and now you people complain about the action. Make up your minds, people. Most of the action I thought was pretty satisfying, and the film more than fufilled my need to see stuff blow-up. The plot is really weak, however. Some of the sex and drug gags were funny, but they need to be cut WAY down in number. Shia and Megan, however, can't act to save their lives. The orchestra scores for the movie were really well done, in my opinion, but can we cut back on using overrated bands in the movie? Yes, I'm talking to you too, Linkin Park. That's all about a 4 right there, but the extra point comes from the fact that Shia LeBouf dies (even if it was only temporary).… Expand

The jokes are childish and those two robots which talk in slang are so stereotypical that they border on racist (the slang, the golden tooth). Also, like others say it's way too long at the end. -Oh, btw, the special effects aren't so great because they ARE overused.

( i hate that booty shot of her!! i like booties but that was out of context! they waste no time in showing you why they hired her) the writers didnt even try to tell a sci fi tale, they told a comedy!! why is the only transformers in the story Prime? Imagine a Ninja Turtles movie where the turtles are in the background, getting one or two lines, and leonardo getting the only dialogue which consist of "leadership dialogue" and the rest of the movie is about human characters doing idiotic gags. thats what this movie is! ITS A COMEDY FEATURING THE TRANSFORMERS!! the "robo warrior" plot device is pathetic. what a coincidence that leo spitz happens to know where robo warrior works and "what do you know, it's jon tuturo from sector 7!"-so pathetic of a script, i swear. the cartoon has more brains than this. the best part of the movie is the first 9 minutes, there is an awesome opening in shangai with lots of destruction but as soon as prime shoots the decepticon, the movie takes a super nose dive that a kamikaze pilot would be scarred of. the special effects aren't as astonishing as the first movie and when you finally get to the big showdown, half of the time is spent on the humans reacting and when prime confronts the fallen, he takes em out in like one minute. the special effects couldn't even save the movie and i hate the twins!! out of all the robots in the roster they create these ignorant stereotype racist creations!!!!!… Expand

But if you are coming to see some cutting edge special effects mixed in with fun and exciting action sequences, then you'll find Revenge of the Fallen to be a summer-blockbuster winner. While the film doesn't seem to excite from the get go, it eventually fires on all cylinders, reminding people why they'd pay $9.50 to see a movie at midnight: because it's just that cool. The only problem is you came to the movies expecting an epic adventure that you found in the first film, but with expectations soaring high, it kind of makes the experience less exhilerating. Bay doesn't shell out many surprises, but with the massive success of the first film, it's a little surprising that there's enough here to warrant a fair grade and, for some, a second viewing. We can all hope that with a third round of robot action, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg will find a way to reignite this series for a spectacular grand finale.… Expand

I've read an interview with Michael Bay yesterday in which he said, that he makes movies for teenagers and that he has no problem with that. If movies aimed at a teenage crowd are all about a weak plot including huge plot holes, I've read an interview with Michael Bay yesterday in which he said, that he makes movies for teenagers and that he has no problem with that. If movies aimed at a teenage crowd are all about a weak plot including huge plot holes, superficial character development, jackass-class silly jokes, bad storytelling and absolutely mindblowing, over-the-edge eye and ear candy, then yes, Mr. Bay surely lives up to that. I mean, come on, who does expect something else than that when watching a Bay movie? Anyone who enters the cinema with the expectation to see a sophisticated movie will be disappointed. But those who want to see the new standard in visual-overkill-action-movies won't be disappointed. Yet I am disappointed. Why? Because as a sequel, it means more of...well...everything, but sadly, the balance shifted to the wrong side. The movie is called Transformers 2, so it should be a movie ABOUT the Transformers, about their characters and their relationships, their history and development, but in this movie they sometimes only seem like some kind of sidekick to me. Yes, there are more robots, more fights, more explosions, but also more unnecessary "human dramas", bad jokes, really, really cheesy moments, totally weak and annoying characters (even worse than Jar Jar Binks) and the balance shifted so much, that the annoying parts are weighing over. I'll watch the 3rd movie for sure, but in the end, there will not be many memorable things about the movie, except huge, HUGE, humongously H-U-G-E explosions and insane eyecandy. That includes Megan Fox. Giant robots, explosions and Megan Fox in the same movie has to be at least a "5". That should tell you how bad the rest is :)… 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. 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

The degree of swearing and strange abundance of testicle jokes (seriously, go in and start counting) makes it a strong PG-13, but most of the humor is pretty funny. 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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Unfortunately for Bay, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is riddled with continuity errors, poor scripting, horrible acting and a convulted and confusing plot. In fact, it completely fails to construct a sensible plot and turns to pointless action sequences that have little relevance to the plot. Speaking of which, the camerawork in the action sequences is downright atrocious with strange angles that make the fights look like a pile of scrap metal flying around in a blender with a mirror ball hovering overhead. The cast don't fare much better giving awful performances throughout, especially Shia Labeouf who proves once again just how incompetent he is as an actor. Do not give Michael Bay your money, especially since this waste of celluloid had a budget of $200 million and this is the best he come up with, despite such a massive budget. There are plenty of other great movies coming over the summer that I am sure will be much better experiences, just not this one!… Expand

Way more enjoyable than the critics would have you believe. Hardly a minute goes by that isn't entertaining, even if the plot was a groaner and the robot mayhem was still hard to decipher.

Even though not as good as the first, is a good movie to see good Fx... good for fans, but last fight was very short and lacked some thrill.

To be clear, this is an ACTION movie. The point of this is spectacle; it's a ride.

The point of this is spectacle; it's a ride. If you like robots, military hardware, fights between robots and military hardware, modern cars, robots transforming, Megan Fox, Megan Fox running, Megan Fox running in slow motion, explosions, female robots, motorcycles or destruction you will like this movie. I saw the 1st one 6 times in theaters and then bought the HD-DVD. I'll see this one 6 times in IMAX and then buy the BluRay with minimal griping about the visual quality. If you're with the other part of the population that likes to watch inscrutable monologues like Kiss of the Spider-woman then by all means go have fun fruity-pants! Otherwise watch this film. See-it! Love it! Buy the action figures and the Blu Ray. I only came back home to write this review, I'm turning right around to go watch it again.… Expand

Great movie. I don't know why so many critics hate it, I guess their eyes are made of fail. Anyway, internet lingo aside, go see this movie if you haven't already.

Ok, I'm writing this as a Transformers fan who puts the old toys and cartoons in the category of best wastes of time ever of my childhood. Anyone who does not like Transformers take 4-5 points off this review right now. It's weird, Ok, I'm writing this as a Transformers fan who puts the old toys and cartoons in the category of best wastes of time ever of my childhood. Anyone who does not like Transformers take 4-5 points off this review right now. It's weird, I'm usually picky when it comes to plot and dialogue in a movie, but even though this movie has one of the worst scripts in recent memory I couldn't look away from the screen. 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. However like I said before I was constantly left breathless by each scene and little bit of fan service Michael Bay threw at us. I would have to say its my favorite comepltely terrible movie ever and a total guilty pleasure. Btw, see it in imax for the best effect.… Expand

Absolute garbage. Don't spend your money on this, or we'll only get more of the same.

This should be a good movie. Wonderful special effects and CGI. Why do we need a love story? Or a comedy? Its Transformers! Action! The jokes were cliche and corny, and the comedy was very misplaced. It was like Pearl Harbor with robots. This should be a good movie. Wonderful special effects and CGI. Why do we need a love story? Or a comedy? Its Transformers! Action!

I wish I could say I even liked it. If you like balls, farting, men in thongs, robot balls, and twin robots that make Jar Jar funny...watch this.
