Amazon.com Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That's an exact classification of director Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox's hotness to the max. As if she weren't enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there's the humor. Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White)provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious. As far as the “plot” goes, the writers didn't waste much time--it's really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences. The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U.S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there--and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn't want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance--which was arguably a good decision. --Jordan Thompson

Transformers 2, worse than the first July 29, 2010 John Polacchi (Neverland) Well,I knew there was absoloutely no way I was going to spend my hard earned money on this disaster of a film. I knew it wasn't going to be good,but I was just astonished about how bad it really was going to be. Shai La Dousche again demonstraits his inability to act throughout the entire film,Megan Fox just poses slutty and says a few lines here and there and well...the only thing Michael Bay can deliver are fancifal CGI effects on a ginormous budget, large explosions and little to no plot.
This film's script was written so badly, that they turned to creating(or re-introducing) Autobot characters that are ghetto and illiterate and that was suppose to be funny and entertaining.Lets also not forget "Sam's" butt raping chiwawa Mojo and Deceptcons with sewer mouths.Is that really what people what their kids to see and here?Combine all of this with CG effects that just become convoluted and run together after a while.
There is nothing memorible about this film other than to recall how bad it truely was.Years ago, George Lucas said in an interviw that "Special effects aren't the story,the story is the story," and he was right in saying so.Who would have ever thought that he would be going against his word and creating three god awful prequels and for other directors to in turn take that ill,pre-conceived idea and make films as bad, if not worse.
Do yourself a favor, unless you are totsl Transformers nerd, you'd be doing yourself a service of NOT purcahsing or renting this film.I got mine for free,and I'm just peeved about wasting the time watching it.However, if explosions,fighting robots, and skanky girls are waht get your rocks off,I guess this is the film for you.
Transform and Roll out! July 19, 2010 Dzidra Auzans (USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was something I was really looking forward to after seeing the very first superbowl tv spot for it. I have been a Transformers fan all my life wheter its The classic G1, Beast Wars, Armada, Energon, The 2007 Film I have always loved the epic battle between the Autobots and The Decepticons. Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray] in 2007 was for me one of the coolest experiences of my life I went around telling everyone "Woah dude you have to see this movie its the best movie ive ever seen" and I was beeing honest with them I fell in love with the live action direction for Transformers. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen for me did live up to my expectations, a crazy, awesome, cool and fun blockbuster that will blow everyone away. Bigger and Better are the words to use. Everyone seems to have some sort of complaint about this movie but cant you just have some fun once and awhile. When I now watch movies I ask myself was it as good as Transformers 2? The movie is probably the coolest thing my eyes have ever seen, I enjoyed equal to the first and I cant wait for the third, for me these movies are funny and exciting they make me feel awesome. Optimus Prime and Megatron fighting for control of Earth and the Universe in my mind will allways be the coolest thing in my world. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is a movie I could watch twice a day everyday for my life. Autobots transform and roll out!
Why isn't there an option for negative stars? July 16, 2010 Zot (Maryland, USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My first piece of advice: If you want an well balanced assessment of the quality of this movie, just go straight to "more 1-star ratings." They will tell you everything you need to know.
But I'll say one thing most of the others didn't. The worst things about this movie were:
1. Michael Bay
2. Roberto Orci
3. Alex Kurtzman
4. Ehren Kruger
You can't have a good movie without a good director and a good script. And both were, as others put it, an epic fail in this case. I blame the writers as well as the director, though the director gets a bigger share. All should have been fired before the movie even started filming. For why, see the first Transformers film they made. The only excuse executives have for keeping them on is the money the first film made. Unfortunately, they're looking at the dollar signs from the second as justification for keeping Mr. Bay employed. They failed to notice that a huge number of people who watched the first film hated it so much that there is little chance the third will be as successful. I can only hope it bombs so bad they'll be forced to let someone else take over the movie franchise.
There are a fair number of capable actors in the film. But none of them were put to good use. Even Peter Cullen had to utter some horrible lines like, "Give me your face" and other such nonsense. He made it sound as good as it could, but it still sounds stupid.
As far as the visuals are concerned, they were totally inconsistent with even the first film, nevermind the premise of Transformers. In the first film, a robot did not constantly have little pieces flying off whenever it got hit. In this one, the slightest touch and pieces of CG metal and glass went everywhere. Because of this, while in the first film the robots appeared powerful and untouchable, in the second they looked like flimsy science projects gone wrong, then put through a blender. So, despite the enormous budget, even the special effects were enormously disappointing--and that's compared to the first, which already lowered the standards so far I wasn't expecting to get much out of the robot action scenes.
Since everyone else is commenting on it, I'll just say characters like Megan Fox's and Isabel Lucas's are so unimportant that their inclusion is nothing more than yet another tasteless departure from good moviemaking. I have nothing against the actresses, but their part essentially amounted to a few shots of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue being spliced into an bad student film. It's just another annoying distraction that has nothing to do with what made the original Transformers characters and stories great.
As an aside, at least if you purchased the Bumblebee transforming case edition, you got a transformable case out of it. But for the disc itself, I recommend using it as a drink coaster. (A guest can use the special features disc for their drink.) You'll get much more enjoyment out of it that way.
Seriously, One of the WORST movies ever made! July 13, 2010 Adam Bernstein (Brooklyn, NY United States) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you saw this movie (like I stupidly did) you probably walked out of the theater licking your wounds. Not just because your a Transformers fan and you had to watch Michal Bay take a crap all over something important to you but also because you probably felt like you just paid someone $12.50 (or however much movies cost in your hometown) to kick you in the face for the longest 2 and a half hours of your life.
Revenge of the Fallen is an abrasive, ugly, racist, offensive, awful excuse for a movie. It's a giant advertisement for god knows what that's full of explosions and the sound of clanging metal.
Questions will arise as your brain wonders what it did to piss you off and your eyeballs try to kill themselves. Questions like, What purpose did the "twins" have other then to remind us that racism still exsist?! why did we need to see Devastator's balls? Why is John Tuttoro in a thong?!
Megan Fox and Shila Booff or whatever the hell his name is have the chemistry and acting abilities of wet towels! Why in the name of freaking GOD would I wanna see a greater focus on them?!
OH! and speaking of god... ROBOT HEAVEN!!!! NUFF' SAID!!!!
I know it seems like I'm dropping some serious spoiler and I am. BUT I DON'T CARE! The movie has all but ZERO plot!
If you haven't seen this movie yet and are concidering it don't! Instead stay at home and stick forks in both of your ears while playing with power tools and suckng on a car battery. It will be more enjoyable and slightly less painful then the ass kicking you will get from your friends and family when you admit this movie lives in your collection!
Seriously, when the alien invaders come and ask for a sacrifice, let's just give them Michal Bay OK?
A gift for my sister. July 12, 2010 SGBillNye (Clemson, SC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A gift for my sister. The first one was so bad I have no desire to waste 2hrs of my life.
