    what a disappointing film. for everything about the movie that i enjoyed there were three things that i hated. the first transformers is an amazing film for the nastalgia and effective use of characters, but for the franchise to continue its momentum a great story and solid dir...( read more)ection was needed and we didnt get it here. there were too many problems to list, so because i think long reviews on flixster are a bit silly i wont list them all, but my problems arent general, they are specific and damaging. the one flaw i will mention is that it seems that when bay does something well, he tries too hard to do the same things bigger in the sequel ala bad boys 2 and thats not a good practice. this film was way too busy and with too many insignificant conflicts they all got lost in the shuffle. the film gets an average score for being entertaining and having a few good sequences, but overall there was a lot to hate about this film.

    I was so looking forward to the next installment and it is great. Good storyline and full of adventure. Autobots live and work alongside the US military to protect humans But Megatron's dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and he revives him using his own s...( read more)park. There starts another battle between good and evil against the backdrop of the pyramids. Excellent graphics and action. Megan Fox is probably paid a lot to be eye candy but that is all she is. She's like a poor man's Angelina Jolie. All body, lips and very wooden.

    Christ, this movie was dumb. You-can't-get-pregnant-if-you-do-it-standing-up-or-in-a-pool dumb. Or maybe it was blow-your-kid's-college-fund-on-hookers-and-ponies terrible. Haven't decided yet. While the cameos were one of the Revenge of the Fallen's few saving graces along with ...( read more)more robots in some pretty wild fight scenes, said robots in those scenes were so detailed that all I was able to get out of the CG messes were metallic-colored blurs. The movie was about an hour too long and all of the good aspects of the actually decent first movie were milked dry within the first 20 minutes. I was ready to forgive Michael Bay after the first Transformers movie but he proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that his God-given assclown status is not only deserved, but will be his until the day he dies. Probably longer. Bay just apparently assumed that by throwing more shiny things on the screen his audience would just drool and forget how terrible and incomprehensible the story was or wonder why the hell Shia LaBeouf's hand was in a cast for the last act of the movie. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters and vag roommate was the worst. Wait, those twin Autobots were the worst. Sorry. Hearing Green Day 2387 during the movie and the Linkin Park song during the credits only added to the minus column and Megan Fox looked like a sunbeaten leather handbag in training. If you're over 14 and liked this movie you're a goddamned retard. Congratulations, Michael Bay--you've done the impossible and made Joel Schumacher look like fucking Fellini...

    It should have been easy to make a sequel to Transformers. With a simple story, a few more robots and more action, this would be an automatic home-run. Unfortunately, the filmmakers got a little too ambitious with this one.

    First of all, I have to admit that the CGI was very im...( read more)pressive. The Transformers look better and more complicated than ever, but at times the action and fight scenes are incredibly difficult to keep track of. The camera is often so tight on the action, and the robots move so quickly, that everything comes off as muddled. I'd like a lot more pulled-back views of the action, so that we could actually see all the eye-candy.

    That particular issue wasn't a deal-breaker, but I did have a big problem with the "humor" and the overall story. This movie tries so hard to be funny, and 95% of the time, those attempts fail horribly. I was just shaking my head at how impossibly sophomoric many of the Transformers acted. Most of the human characters were also so over-the-top that it was annoying. Either make the movies semi-serious, or get someone who isn't a complete idiot to handle the humor. The twins, the leg-humping, and the annoying mother are just a few of the awful bits that should have been left out.

    As for the plot, I'm not asking for a Oscar-worthy tale. I thought the plot of the first movie was fine. But Revenge of the Fallen seems like it's trying to be an Indiana Jones movie, and that doesn't work at all. And when did the transformers gain the ability to use magic? And teleport? How could that be explained in the least way? Why did the robots seem to completely disappear from the area, just because it was convenient for the story? Plot-wise, this was a mess. The first movie worked because it was simple, the sequel is needlessly complicated.

    I guess the fact that I liked the movie, despite its HUGE flaws, is a testament to how inherently cool the concept of transforming robots is. I honestly can't think of any other reasons to not give this movie a worse score. I didn't particuarly like any of the human characters, the story was bad throughout, right up until the end (when it became sappy AND bad), and Bay ignored most of the cool new robots, and instead focused on the lame ones like the twins and the old farting jet with a cane. I'm probably giving this a too-high rating....yeah, I'm pretty certain that I am.

    At the very least I hoped for a fun night out, good visual effects and awesome sound. All I got was a headache and the feeling that I had completely wasted two and a half hours of my life. It was like watching a dozen two-year olds run around crashing pots and pans, screaming and...( read more) yelling at the top of their lungs. You end up feeling beaten down. While I enjoyed the first Transformers, I can't say I liked it's overly loud and OTT sequel.

    A movie with big robots, big explosions, and a silly plot :P but it kept me entertained for a few hours.
