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

1.0 out of 5 stars BURNT CORN, November 16, 2009

By	P. Webb "apocrypha" (Bozeman, MT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

An abomination, everything we thought the first one would be. The fact that hollywood professionals were paid to hoist this "entertainment" on us is downright nauseating. Some of the worst dialogue, editing I have ever experienced. I forgive alot and many of my favorite "movies" are PART 2 sequels, but this is the exact opposite of a guilty pleasure. The critics should have been harsher.

1.0 out of 5 stars A new low, even for Michael Bay., October 24, 2009

By	Church of The Flaming Sword - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

One of the chief complaints that I hear from people, mainly fanboys, regarding Bay's adaptation of the Transformers to the big screen is that Bay "murdered their childhood". With this movie, I think it is much more serious than that. Here, I think he murdered the fine art of moviemaking altogether. I have often been critical of Jerry Bruchheimer's productions in the past when the fact is that a sizable percentage of those productions were directed by none other than Bay. Now that Bay and Bruckheimer seem to have gone their seperate ways, Bay's direction seems more odious than ever. You would think that someone who has been in the motion picture industry as long as Bay would improve and grow over time. Not so.

If I were to go into detail about all of TRotF's problems, I would have to write a book that makes a library dictionary look like a travel brochure. So I can only scratch the surface. Getting started, I must say that if you found the confusing battle sequences of the first movie incoherent and sloppy, you'll find that things have only changed for the worse here. Bay is obviously a firm believer in throwing in as many explosions and CGI effects into an action sequence as he can at the expense of coherence, believability, and excitement.

I further had problems with all of the characters human and robot alike. Let me start with the former. Spike and Mikala's soap opera about who must say "I love you" first is completely out of place in a movie about robots. Is it just me or is the longest sentence needed to explain the situation intelligently "WHO CARES???"? The scene in which Spike's mother gets high during his college tour made me wonder why the film's writer's are not in an assisted care facility let alone writing blockbuster scripts. While there is not one actor or actress throughout this whole misfire who had a good performance, perhaps the worst offender is John Turturro. Didn't he use to do good movies like Barton Fink? Here he emails in his role. I don't like to speak for others, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who did not need to see his government issue thong.

Now for the robots. Here I'm left with three words - OH DEAR LORD!!! I definitely had problems with Bumblebee. Didn't he have his voice issue corrected at the end of the first movie? I guess Bay felt that we didn't get enough disingenuous pop culture references the first time around. How about that Skidflapz and Mud (is that correct? ummm - who cares?)? Why don't we just bring back the blackface and go back to calling Sidney Portier an "Uncle Tom" for playing dignified black men while we're at it, chilluns? And what is the point of having robots that fart, have testicles, and hump legs? My opinion is that we need to let our sense of humor evolve past such crudeness. However, if you must put scatological and sexual humor in a film, then put it in something R-rated and not something that is being marketed as a toy line for children.

TRotF was not just a bad movie for me, it made me very disgusted with how the Hollywood Big Money perceives the audience that is their financial lifeline. Hollywood is biting the hand that feeds it. There is a lot of misinformation floating around that if you dislike TRotF then you must be a stiff overcultured L7. If you liked this movie, that is your right. Go ahead and watch it again. Go ahead and write a positive review for it if it means that much to you. But if you decide to leave a nasty comment in my Comment area, think about the movie you are defending. Think about the robot testicles, Spike's stoned mother, the ethnic mistrel show robots, or John Turturro's exposed backside. Or better yet don't think about it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Had to force myself to sit through the end, November 4, 2009

By	Patty Merchant - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I'm one of the people who enjoyed the first Transformers movie. I didn't think it was wonderful and there was too little Transformers and too much people, but at least it was fun to watch. This sequel though loses what was good in the first one. What was the deal with the two wisecracking, cursing Transformers? It was like they were stuck in the movie just to prove the movie isn't for kids. Robots talking in slang and with accents is ridiculous to me. If this kind of stuff doesn't bother you, then you'll like the movie a lot more than I did. Some of the CGI is obvious and not quite realistic, but other parts of the CGI look pretty cool. Unlike a lot of people who hate on this movie I don't blame Shia for me not liking it. I don't like the script. My problem isn't with the actors. SPOILER AHEAD: there is a scene with a human dying and talking with the ghosts of Primes past. That was a bit too silly for me too. You put both of your heroes on their deathbeds in separate scenes of the same movie only to have neither one die. That's just a bit too corny for me. If these complaints don't seem like things that would bother you then you could easily like this movie a lot more than I did. If these complaints would bother you too then don't bother with this one.
