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

4.0 out of 5 stars To Be Or Not To Be, That Is The Question?, September 22, 2009

By	Alejandro Gonzalez "~Alex The Spiral~" (bakersfield, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

This is a tough movie to review, mostly because there is NO right answer. Some say it's a bad movie, (my sister) others say it's the best movie they every saw (My friend) And others say it's a O.k. film (me) I was mostly fascinated on the vast amount of detail the animators used on these Autobots and Decepticons. I really like the art and the beautiful colors added to the CGI and special effects. Transformers 2 is one of the most visually entertaining movies of this year. Even though the plot wasn't as good. in another note, it sometimes felt like there were alot of running around back and forth throughout the whole film. In the end, I can't say it's the best movie ever but I won't say it's the worst movie ever but If your still curious about watching it for the first time, I say rent it first before you buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leave your brain at the door - escapist fun, awesome CGI & sound., November 2, 2009

By	James Finch "James" (Bradford, PA) - See all my reviews

Turn off your reasoning mind and just enjoy some typical Michael Bay blowing up all the scenery. The CGI and sound mix in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen are equally amazing. Truly a fantasy escapist film to make you forget that your job and health care are pretty much trashed as a bunch of big robots trash the planet. I knocked off a star for the film having too many extraneous characters, like the cyborg babe and the nitwit roomie, but I got a kick out of the little "turncoat" Decepticon robot with the guy from Spongebob doing a spot-on Steve Buscemi impression for its voice. Two and a half hours of unrelenting action with a good message about family thrown in. Loved it. Just don't expect me to explain it. Should have won an Oscar for sound and the intricate CGI is a treat.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst and painful sequels in recent memory-how sad!, October 28, 2009

By	Robert Badgley (London,Ontario,Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Transformers Two is one of the worst sequels in recent memory and remains as one of the worst pictures I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through.Spielberg,Bay and company should be ashamed of this overly complicated,long and generally shoddy product they hoisted on an eagerly awaiting public.The first movie in this franchise was superb;the right amount of action with a very credible plot and great special effects.This movie takes all that that was built on and essentially trashes it.
Shia Lebeouf returns as Sam,as his friend Optimus Prime continues his fight to eliminate the Decpeticon threat throughout the world(and in space).Sam discovers a piece of the Allspark in his house which melts through the floor to bring to life all the appliances in his house,wreaking alot of unwanted havoc.Optimus approaches Sam saying that the Decepticons are amassing again and the time has come that he needs his help.Sam,incredulously considering all that has past in the first movie,refuses to help!!He's off to college and can't be bothered??? Sam,in keeping with all that has gone on,should have been right there,no questions.This illogical plot thread creates a rift from which the movie never recovers.
Sam goes to college but the inevitable conflict follows him,much to his chagrin(what did he really expect?).In fact he does everything to avoid getting involved.His roommates we discover even run an internet alien conspiracy theory site;how convenient!The fight eventually engulfs Sam and his girlfriend who have no choice but to join Optimus and company in their fight against the Decepticons.Their journey goes worldwide and Megatron is(of course) released and in turn releases the Fallen,the evil head of the Decepticons.In the end it is a dual to the death and just as we think Optimus and Sam are no more a material called the Matrix comes into the picture and with the help of ancient Primes Sam is sent back to bring Optimus back to life to finally defeat the evil horde.
This is just a tip of the iceberg breakdown of the plot,because it is a long,ponderous and over complicated thing that I could never do justice to anyway;nor is it WORTH repeating or trying to do justice to(may I recommend a look at [...],to see just how complicated it really is).One autobot we are intro'd to is a souped up ice cream truck which turns into two "homeys" at will who constantly argue over nothing and are there for supposed "comic relief" but offer nothing but annoyance.
At 143 minutes this special effects driven leviathan slowly weaves its' way along and doesn't really get moving until the last 20 minutes or so,and by then everything is anti-climactic and you are just wishing the whole mess a speedy and quick ending.
This two DVD set contains featurettes,deleted and alternate scenes and a music video by Linkin Park.The film has been transferred beautifully and the sound as A-1.However it is like trying to dress up a corpse;there is no life here so why bother.
This movie goes on my all time Turkey list for two reasons:what the film IS and for what it SHOULD have been.Unless the next one can dig itself out from under this massive failure somehow,this might have essentially killed the franchise in just two pictures.The producers lost sight of the ball big time and the proof is painfully here for all to see.But I recommend you save your money and DON'T!
