Tão ruim que deveria figurar numa cláusula adicional da Convenção de Genebra para que tivéssemos a certeza de que não seria exibido como forma de tortura a prisioneiros políticos.

The cluttered storyline of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen amounts to a convoluted treasure hunt.

...an ungainly and incomprehensible assault on the senses.

I swear to you that I have never had a film experience that felt longer than the whopping 149 minutes of Revenge of the Fallen, every single one of which I wish I had spent doing something else.

Like its predecessor, it remains resolutely critic-proof and more honest about its purpose than most soulless corporate abominations.

Visually, the film is beautiful, but as a huge fan of the first one, I was thoroughly disappointed with the structure, pacing, script and overall experience.

This is the single worst film to be released thus far in the summer of 2009 and that's a whole helluva pile of bad to overcome in achieving that title.

Revenge of the Fallen is almost literally plotless. It's like a movie based on a TV Guide description. A bloated, ponderous piece of s**t.

I hated every 149 minutes. This is so bad it's immoral. Michael Bay is a time-sucking vampire who will feast off your lost time. This is why the movie is so long.

...Fox is wasted, given nothing more to do then wear revealing outfits and pout.

The best thing about "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is that it's perhaps the funniest movie of the year ... "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is not as bad as "Transformers"; somehow, in the face of long odds, it is actually worse.

Michael Bay has once again transformed garbage into something resembling a film, at least in the loosest sense: it can be run through a projector and used to sell millions of tickets.

Critics blithely refer to movies as 'painful' all the time, but this is the real deal.

I honestly wish it could change itself into a good movie, instead it ends up being one of the worst sequels I've ever seen.

"Beginning! Middle! End! Condense! Details! Plot!," yells John Turturro's G-man at a robot somewhere in the middle of the morass "Revenge of the Fallen" becomes. Forget "More than meets the eye." Michael Bay should have more so heeded that cry.

Even for a Michael Bay movie, this robot-on-robot sequel is a pointless, messy assault on the senses. The special effects, of course, are flawless. The rest is scrap metal.

Despite having lowered the artistic bar to Death Valley levels, director Michael Bay has somehow managed to figure out a way to slither beneath with the flexibility of the pole dancers-in-training that he prefers to hire as his female extras.

Bay's low humor is lame enough, but it's downright offensive juxtaposed with Pearl Harbor-like scenes of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier being destroyed by Decepticons.

The first film was a summer action movie masterpiece, this one can't even make giant, transforming robots stay interesting for its entire running time.
