This review is from: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing doesn't quite express the problems with this movie, June 28, 2009

The first Transformers movie was great! And the second?

Bigger, longer, louder, more robots, more action, more Megan Fox, more CGI ... so how can you end up with a worse movie than the original?

Well, it happened, as Michael Bay definitely went out of control here. What are the problems with this movie?

Characters - When John Turturro returns and actually becomes one of the more sympathetic characters in the movie, that tells you just how packed the script is with truly annoying characters. Ramon Rodriguez led the list for Character-Who-I-Most-Wanted-to-See-Gutted-By-Megatron. Isabel Lucas, the supposed Aussie hottie and rival to Megan Fox, was OMG some wierd orange shade of tan... NOT attractive, gross, really. Skids and Mudflap... WTF? Oh yeah, for sure there were strong racist overtones here in their jive-talking and monkey-ghetto appearance, but what was worse was that they were just sooooo Jar-Jar Binks acid-on-the-nerves annoying.

The list of characters in the "Needs To Be Killed by Megatron Real Soon" category is just too long for this movie to be enjoyable.

Robots, you want more giant robots? Way too many giant robots - couldn't hardly tell who was who in all the fighting, couldn't even see what all the fighting moves were... lots of robot deathblows, the CGI was great, but the images were so densely packed with detail that they blurred in the mind - way, way Too Much Information!!! Can we get subtitles for the action sequences on the DVD/Blu-Ray?

More TMI - was it me, or did the dialogue sound compressed and speeded up? Several times, it sounded like Sam and Mikaela were talking to each other at Fedex speeds - no they didn't sound like chipmunks, but it is possible to speed up the soundtrack and lower the tonal frequencies to normal. Maybe this was the only way Michael Bay could get the movie to come in at only 2-1/2 hours instead of four hours.

Plot... well, seriously, after all the critics decrying the lack of any plot in this movie, I came away thinking that this problem with the movie was way overblown compared to all of its other problems. I don't know about you, but I didn't come into this movie expecting any plot. This is after all a movie about giant robots fighting each other.

But somehow or another, in the first movie, we were made to care more about these robots, and about the humans they were fighting over. That was what made the first Transformers so enjoyable. All of that went out the window in this movie. As you sit through this very long second movie in the Transformers franchise, you begin to wish that Megatron could hurry up and gut everybody in the movie....

...Except for Megan Fox of course. Fox manages to appear even more lovely in this film than the first, the only thing improved from the first movie...

Overall, though, by piling in an excess of almost everything except sympathetic characters into this movie, Michael Bay has made this movie into an example of information overload, and it becomes just a tedious exercise for the eyes.
