I said the first film is a teenage boy's wet dream. This sequel is just masturbation.

Consensus: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.

The movie rages on for a hundred and fifty minutes and then just stops, pausing for the next sequel.

It's not so much that the story is inherently bad; it's more that it seems no one bothered to put one in at all, and worse, that no one seems to have cared.
06/29/09
They've managed to make a movie that is so incredibly bad that it manages to mark career lows for pretty much everybody involved.
06/29/09
It is as if Michael Bay was saying "You think I've blown stuff up before? Ha-ha. Wait till you see this."
06/29/09
It’s confusing and excessive and it just missed the mark completely.
06/29/09
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is even more spectacular than its predecessor, but spectacle without a decent narrative or interesting characters soon becomes tedious.
06/28/09
It’s not so much “more than meets the eye” as “more than the eye can meet”.

Any review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen only needs be one line long. If you liked the first film, you'll like this one.

If you're going to send me a hero, I always say make it one with a built-in cup-holder, Michelins as hip-bling, and car doors for wings!

A bad film that seems like a nightmare because it is one.

No white elephants in the room. I'll be brutal. Bay's film sucks with a capital "S" and with the word enveloped in bold italics.

... there's no time to digest anything going on or in anyway connect with it because (Michael) Bay just HAS to show you something else... right now.
06/27/09
Action fans won't feel cheated by director Bay, but beyond the rousing scenes and special effects, this sequel offers little.
06/27/09
The first movie of 2009 to fail my clock test.
06/26/09
Sure it could have been a little more critic-friendly, a little more intellectual, maybe even a little less silly, but Michael Bay is first and foremost an entertainer and in my opinion he once again gets the job done.
06/26/09
The bottom line for me is that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen simply wasn't as much fun as the original. In their zeal to give us more of what they think we want, Bay and crew have sucked all the joy out of their own franchise.
06/26/09
It's a wad of chaos puked onto the big screen, an arbitrary collection of explosions and machismo posturing.
06/26/09
Tinnitus with pictures.

Will insult your intelligence, hurt your eyes, and offend your sense of decency until you worry that your skull might explode while your brain trickles right out of your ears.
