Nonstop visual and aural abuse for almost three straight hours - grinding metal, booming voices, seizure-inducing camerawork, and endless, gratuitous explosions are paused briefly only for atrocious dialog, sub-par acting, stupid gags, and tedious exposition into its incomprehensible plot. Only Michael Bay could construct an experience this masochistic and grating to the senses. The Geneva Convention should outlaw this piece of shit.

Ghastly vacuous porn: military porn, shiny car porn, kewl cgi porn and actual young women filmed like they're porn stars. Worse, a pair of robots do an urban minstrel show for comic relief. It's all pretty vile. Aside from all that, the action sequences (which are the big sell for this) are visually incomprehensible, with no clear sense of what we're looking at or where we are at any moment: this is what happens when you outsource your film to a cgi company and let them invent it all for you.

Bay spends more investments and thousands of dollars making this completely worthless attainment. Transformers fight doltishly and moronically as loud booming and pounding noises are made in the background. Mercenaries fight off Decepticons to heavy metal music and techno, and Shia Labeouf stumbles and falls like an insipid idiot. Oh, and did I forget the eruption of explosions that occur every five seconds or so? I didn't? Oh well.

Phenomenally, incredibly bad. The editing is a mess, the story is weak (and once again takes things from canon only to twist them into something random), and it's full of inexplicable and unappealing elements: several Decepticons can now spit, there's robot humping, robot balls, the insulting and stupid "twins," and then there's the Matrix of Leadership, which disappears when you touch it because you don't physically need it, except for later when it reappears because you do. Unbelievable.

It's a bad sign when the very first scene makes you cringe in agony. Forget about character or plot development, formidable acting, any form of redeeming quality, this is another pure example of America's chauvinistic pride and declining intelligence. I'm not being too quick with my judgment, just rational. 'Transformers 2' is without a doubt the worst "movie" I've ever seen. A -50 would've been an honest score.

Another dumb, noisy, antagonistic action-flick from Michael Bay with the huge support of US Army. Thank God there is military to destroy non-negotiable terrorist-like Decepticons! Who Needs Autobots! I think Bay thinks like, "if I shake the camera enough, and put enough fighting-robots into the story with dumb jokes, and shoot all those scenes in a rush so audience can never get anything and if I only focus on Megan's ass, who cares if I praise the army!" Did I miss sth? Was it Revenge of Bay?

The first Transformers movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. The sequel is just guilty of being a terrible movie. The only defense is that it was meant to be a mindless action film (much like the first), but the thing damn near put me to sleep! If the monotony of the action sequences wasn't good enough reason to close my eyes, their seizure inducing quality was.

Summer films drop to a new low in Transformers 2. Michael Bay's action opus barely contains a plot, takes a dozen or so diversions that serve no purpose and help extend the running time to an insufferable 2.5 hours. In addition, the cinematography and character design combine to make even giant robot battles boring and confusing. Toss in some of the most racially sensitive comic relief since Jar Jar Binks and you've got a big, bloated mess.

Michael Bay is now in my book on par with Roland Emmerich and Uwe Boll. RoTF is a mess. It has all the trademarks of a Bay movie minus the charms that made those movies enjoyable. Acting is bad, action is unclear and i found myself often wondering what was going on. The script, well what can i say? The whole thing feels like random action sequences thrown together. It's the first movie in which i felt guilty paying for it and thus supporting the possible sequels.

Popcorn munching, blockbuster action, you must leave your brain at the door film at its best, and worst. I mean honestly folks what were you expecting? This movie was never meant to be anything but flashy action. Bay fixed my biggest problems with the first movie, There were more robot fights, and you could actually tell they were fighting. Sure the plot was thin, acting subpar, and some characters were simply there for stereotypical laughs...This is the type of movie Bay makes people, DUH.

Too long, bad acting, moronic dialogue, disturbingly fetishistic of the military, incoherent plot, lack of emotional investment in the characters... these are all adjectives that any rational person would expect to describe this movie. And, honestly, plot and dialogue and acting and basic logic are all nice, but non-essential. But how in the nine circles of Hell can you make a movie about giant robots fighting and SCREW UP THE FIGHT SCENES?!?! The mind boggles.

I'm not going to sit here and defend the plot, it's dumb and full of so many holes it almost seems plausible because you simply lose track of how flawed it is. There is no character development, decent acting and it's too long. However Revenge of the Fallen has some absolutely righteous fight scenes of the highest "HELL YEAH" caliber you can possibly imagine. If you want to see Optimus Prime rip open a Deceptacon's face with brute force this is your film.

How many people have actually enjoyed this movie? How many people just saw this because it was the movie to see? This is a horrible, horrible military-macho-fest, blatantly racist, sexist, and the most jingoist movie since Rambo 3, it is an unrelenting attack on your senses and good taste, every joke falls flat. Optimus Prime, who used to be an enlightened leader has transformed into an American style wrestler, spouting drivel like 'I rise, you fall' while he kills his opponents without mercy.

"What's happening?" Thats what went through my mind for over 90% of this movie. Btwn film 1 and 2, their was an epic increase in vulgarity (hello?? Their are tons of KIDS who watch this!) and a decrease in plot. Hell, the last 45 min are pretty much running and bombs!! As for the special effects...they were way too much! With all the robot v. robot going on, i couldnt tell who was winning 80% of the time. Lastly, Shia did great w/ the 30 min of acting he was given. Sadly, this series has fallen.

I actually enjoyed it alot more than the first, especially because you could tell what was actually happening on the screen this time. The first had close-up after close-up of robots wrestling; "Revenge" pulled back the view a little and let you see the battles - which there were plenty of. Shia is definitely the main reason for anyone seeing the film, so long as you enjoy his quirky eccentricies. The story, again, isn't much - but I didn't feel as empty leaving the theater as two years ago.

A rather exhausting and messy action orgy. I enjoyed the first couple acts in a dumb-fun kind of way, silly sitcom bits excluded (I liked the Decepticon in disguise as a human, even if it felt a little more Terminator than Transformers), but holy shit was the final act exhausting. I don't think a climax qualifies as a "climax" if it just keeps going and going and going and going and going.

Michael Bay is on a mission. A mission to destroy all faith any proper movie lover might have had in Hollywood. A mission to cater to people who demand nothing more than shiny metal, clanky metal noises, dark booming voices and explosions for their buck. For this film is something truly dumb; like a pretty woman singing an average song very poorly and garnering applause for it, it manages to trick its audience into thinking it's worth the admission money, not to mention its $200 million budget.

"Brightly coloured mechanical monstrosities" returns for a second inning, almost destroying all faith in humanity in the process. The dialogue is horrendous, so dire I couldn't help but thinking the script would even sound well below par in the saturday cartoon itself. This is exaccebated by the equally awful acting, displayed no more profoundly than by the increasingly irksome Megan Fox. Apparently her only role in the entire film was to get repeatedly humped by a randy Tonka truck. The slag.

Insipid, dull and above all: overkill. A formulaic sequel to a previously generic movie, which continues to go through the motions on a motionless ocean; coupled by atrocious writing filled with flat uninspiring one-liners that neither captures the audience's attention nor produces any laughs. In then end, it lacks the charm and spark of humanity present within its predecessor, but replaced by a void of loud and blazing explosions-that only Michael Bay constructs so lavishly and self-indulgently

A numbing CGorgy. Could it hurt 2 have put something in this for those of us of drinking age? Perhaps robots w/ personalities other than that of show-off 15 year olds, so we might actually give a shit if they die? And maybe Bay could have slowed his ADHD pacing down in the handful of non-action scenes? His rush 2 get 2 the next explosion (NEVER has any human loved explosions more) just makes it obvious that he's as uninterested in the constant expositional dialogue & 7th grade "humor" as we are.

Revenge of the Fallen is one of the worst sequels of all time. The first Transformers was bad, but this sequel leaves an even nastier Michael Bay taste. Everything that was horrible and moronic about the first film has just been even more degraded to the lowest of low standards. Shia LeBeouf just runs round screaming OPTIMUS!!! BUMBLE BEE!!! Whilst Megan Fox is once again sleazily lurked at by the cameras. And the racial stereotypes and humour is ill taste for whats meant to be a kids film.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an aggressively stupid and bad movie that appeals only to emotionally stunted manchildren. The action sequences are no more than piles of metal throwing themselves at each other, there are plot holes big enough to fly a 747 through, every performance is terrible, and the humor is obnoxiously unfunny. The movie is, in general, two hours and thirty minutes too long. 100 years later, this may seen as the beginning of the end of western civilization.

How shall I describe this? oh, I know: a really pretty, colourful and shiny piece of crap. Lot's of eye candy, both of the CGI and the female variety, but almost no substance. The worst part is the fun factor itself, the only thing this movie had going for it, also suffers abundantly because at times it's so heavy on the mindless action that it becomes a chore to watch. I give it a little bit more than it deserves purely for some of the special effects.

When it tries to be funny, it's absolutely moronic. When it tries to be dramatic, it's boring. When it tries to be an action movie, it's somewhat entertaining, despite the fact that the design of the robots makes it impossible to tell what's actually going on. Bay once again fails to make humans as interesting as CGI machines, except for the infamous twins of course, which might be a new cinematic low.

A lousy story full of flaws, obvious action patterns, horrible use of music and melodrama as an agent and way too much American patriotism. The only thing that really keeps the film going is all the special effects, which then again at times are so overdone it's hard to keep a track of what's actually going on on the screen. All in all the whole film is really just another unneeded proof for the fact that Hollywood-sequels usually suck, no matter how good or bad the original maybe was.

This movie was action-packed from start to finish with excellant visuals. The plot, however, was lacking. There just wasn't an original story-line for this movie, same old same old. The visuals were phenominal, props to Bay for those, but perhaps he should focus a little more on the script next time. Acting was okay but not great. Megan Fox just standing there added something though.

Plus 100 for Megan Fox's slow motion boobs with explosions in the background. Minus 80 for the absolute, spinning-aerial-shot dogshit that Bay calls a movie.

There was a point where Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox were standing together going in for a kiss, but spewing out some empty dialogue about how much they love to hate each other first or something. The camera spun around them mercilessly. It kept spinning, kept spinning, a wild merry-go-round to keep the shot moving and full of action, action, action. Two characters standing completely still. And I left the scene so dizzy and nauseous that the rest of the movie was a blur of explosions. Wait...

Ooh, look at the CGI explosions. LOOK AT THEM! LOOK AT 2.5 HOURS OF THEM. HERE IS A CAR EXPLODING. HERE IS A CHOPPER EXPLODING. HERE IS A TANK EXPLODING. Here's a 'comedy' interlude with 2 jive-talkin' robots probably eating the robot equivalent of fried chicken. NOW BACK TO MORE CGI THINGS EXPLODING. ISN'T CGI JUST THE BEST THING EVER? WE DON'T EVEN NEED A STORY OR ACTING OR PLOT, COMPUTER MAKE NICE PICTURES OF THINGS EXPLODING. Also the CGI robots still look nothing like Transformers.

The reductio ad absurdum of a summer blockbuster. It is loud (boom!), long (two and a half hours!), incoherent (poorly explained intergalactic warfare!), leering (Megan Fox in short shorts!), racist (jive-talkin' robot twins!), and rife with product tie-ins (Chevy! Hasbro!).

Romantic scene? Oh, well, obviously we've gotta do a 360 panorama. I mean that's the usual way to shoot it. Oh there's this scene where one transforms... Hmm. Maybe a 360 panorama? And also a 360 panorama for the scene with the wise guru Transformer too,

In this film, you will find robots as racist caricatures, more than one farting robot, a robot with testicles, a lot of unnecessary camera movement and one visual effects shot which looked baffling hard to pull off.

I hadn't planned on reviewing any films that I didn't like on Criticker, but then I saw this and remembered just how pissed off I was coming out of the cinema. Great trailer. Awful film. There is but the most basic and unoriginal plot, the characters are all boring, and there are about two decent fight scenes in the whole thing, which isn't very good for a 2 hour action film. Plenty of racist stereotypes too. If you are not a toddler, you will think that this was stupid. You have been warned.

Okay, I had faith in you, Bay but you fucked that up with this movie. Not only is this bad by summer blockbuster standards, it's just a terrible film. Seems someone's ego got a bit too inflated and it shows in this movie. There are almost no redeemable qualities here. Shia LaBitch is worse than ever, the story is practically a copy of the first and the action scenes are so chaotic that you can't even see what's going on onscreen. And don't get me started on the supposed "comedy" here.

See, Mr. Spielberg? Let Michael Bay off the leash one time, and look at the mess he makes...

Not as abysmal as I had heard. But make no mistake, it's an abortion.

Utter nonsense for a plot. An unnecessary appearance by a female terminator. Every character except Megan Fox dies and gets resurrected. Army guys fly around and run around endlessly. Other than a few minutes of Megan Fox running in slow motion, the rest of this is just pure noise, and that word sums it up visually as well.
