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

Format:DVD
If your looking for a Oscar caliber film, this isn't it. But if your looking for a fun entertaining time with, hot women, great action and special effects Transformers 2 is the movie for you.
Unlike the reviewers out there I knew what I was getting from this movie. I wasn't expecting wonderful acting or a great story. I was expecting a entertaining fun time and of course Megan Fox.
The Things I liked: 1. The chemistry between all the old actors from the first movie was great. You could tell they were having a good time filming the movie. You could tell by how good a acting job everyone did. I was surprised.
2. The action/special effects: The were both great. I'm glad they got the help of the military again for this movie it added to both the feel and action of the film. All the actors/stunt men did a great job.
Then there was ILM and their special effects of the action and Transformers was superb.
3. Megan Fox: Damn she is hot. What ever flaws this film had she did a great job of distracting me during the movie. I think I might have given this film 4 stars of less if it weren't for her.
The things I didn't like.
1. The Story: This was the worst part of the film. It just made almost no sense. Especially the part about there being a source of energon on Earth, but there was none, so what was the point of building the weapon on Earth when I'm sure they could have done it on any of the other planets.
2. The Transformers: The special effects were great, but there were just way to many characters. The only ones that had any impact for me was Optimas Prime, Bumble Bee, Soundwave(one of my favorite characters for the old show.), Star Scream, Megatron, and Jet Fire(Who I thought was a great character.), the rest were cannon fodder.
Overall: A really good movie worth seeing, but again this is a Michal Bay movie. They same guy who directed Bad Boys 1 and 2, Pearl Harbor, and Armageddon so don't expect a amazing story and great acting worthy of Oscars. Expect a fun time with a bad story, decent to good acting, and great action and special effects.

Say what you will about a Michael Bay movie; I was highly entertained by this one. The special effects are phenomenal, acting great(you have to remember that most of the robot scenes are acted with actors and papercutout on a stick). Bay does a wonderful job integrating the action with his camerawork, it amazes me to this day.
The blu-ray version has colors so vibrant that you believe you are actually there. And the best part is the behind the scenes: methodically showing what went into this movie, which was a lot of hard work.
People bash Michael Bay movies for being vapid. I don't expect to walk out of a movie quoting Kierkegaard; I go to escape reality and immerse myself in pure entertainment. That is what this movie did for me, and the blu-ray package could not have been done any better in my opinion. Worth the money.

Micheal Bay does another great job
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. Read more

drugs, sex, and foul mouth cursing
It's clear that Michael Bay specifically tailored this movie for a certain type of audience. The type that loves to hear the actors say things such as "Punk A**" and "P****". Read more
