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

This movie was freaking awesome and totally delivered, to those who
knocked this movie "give me a break, giant Transforming robots, what did they expect a Kurosawa movie?, and Shakspearane actors.
Phenomenal special effects great script, "again to those who dissed the dialogue" that is how people really speak so get a clue.
Worth every penny hope there will be more to come.
And yeah I like the classics too, but now and again everyone needs mindless special effects and total mayhem.

This is the follow up to the great movie that came out in 2007. This continues the story, and adds a ton of more robots and action than the first movie had. It still has the amazing CG from the first film, but adds bigger and more detailed robots that were made for IMAX. This movie adds what the first one did great, and adds a ton of more it to the second film.

You have the great sound track from the movie and add some creepier Decepticon music to the film. The great main theme is still playing throughout the movie, and even the bring the rain theme is back in this film, but not as much. Explosion sound effects are even bigger than before, and the transformers have unique sounds to their weapons; which is a mix between bullet fire and electronic based weapon firing.

Graphics are just as amazing as the first movie was, but you also have gigantic transformers in this movie. Even if you have the larger than life transformers, you still feel like they fit in and don't seem like they are CGI at all. A few scenes have the entire area with CG only, and it's done so well I didn't even realize it until they tell you about them in the special features. The explosions are still just as great as the first, with even larger explosions in this movie.

The military actions are just like the first movie, and you can really tell they are coordinated professionally, with a ton of real life AC130's and Blackhawks to just name a few. It's really cool to see real life military tactics, with them doing their own thing and supporting the Autobots.

I personally don't think that the controversy surrounding the movie is true at all. You have these two brother Autobots that are accused of making fun of black people. I personally don't believe this because white people try and talk gangster out there, and you can't tell me that they could also be hillbillies instead of being black. Even in a race of super advanced robots you will have the lemons in the group, and I don't think its offensive to anyone, just humorous events.

Also this movie does have crude humor, and I really think it's funny. Some people have complained that this is a family movie and that they didn't expect to hear some of the humor when they brought their children to it. Ok, this movie is rated PG-13 and it clearly says crude humor on it, and I believe that is the parents responsibility if they think their child is ready for that or not, this is why it doesn't factor into my score.

The special features are great; I mean it's around three hours total of special features. They talk about the history of the transformers franchise, and so much more. It's pretty cool hearing about how they made the amazing robots in the film. Also on top of all the special features in the second disk, you have a full audio commentary with Michael Bay and the writers.

Overall I say you should buy this movie. This is how you should do a sequel: They took what made the first movie great, and made it even better.
