Disappointing for Transformers movie fans. The movie is too long sometimes too rush and the story aren't very good. They added too many humor on it. And it became a very racist movie. I just don't understand why did they put Megan Fox on it. Remember, this is a very disappointing for Transformers movie fans(at least it had a cool action and great special effects on it).

I find this movie ok, there was some part I didn't like that it should've never been in the film. I find Sam Teacher very offense to say something from the Bible. And Showing a guy's but in a diffrent scene didn't need to be in the film. I didn't like how Optimus Prime was over killed. Now Part I like, I thought Bumble Bee and Captain what's his name were both funny. The movie was ok, alot of great action, this was way to long, I give it 3 1/2 stars.

It was ok at certain parts, but its flaws showed towards the end. I suppose since Ive never seen the first one I might be a bit easier on it than most other people, but still a good movie, but not as good as it should have been.

This movie was so incredibly disappointing, it almost made me cry. I watched the Transformers TV show when I was a kid, I played with the toys, I read the comics. I tried to enjoy this movie, I honestly did, but too many things made this movie just absolutely terrible.

Firstly, let's get the racism out of the way. Every black character tried to act like a gangster. There were also two annoying Transformers who looked like hillbillies, but were trying to act like gangsters (one of them even had a gold tooth). The amount of sexual related humor was awful. The first one had a few sexual jokes, and they were geniunelly funny, but this one just overdid it. About three quarters of the movie's jokes were sex jokes. I would try to give a summary of the plot, but sadly I couldn't because the movie was so damned confusing. The plot had more holes than a sponge. For example, at the end of the first movie, Bumblebee gets his voice back. Apparently he lost it, because he talks through the radio AGAIN in this one. Speaking of Bumblebee, he seemed more like a background character than a main character. In fact, most of the Transformers seemed like mere background characters instead of the main focus of the movie. Actually, I'm pretty sure that Megatron had more lines than Optimus Prime, even though Optimus is probably the main Transformer. The humans were the main focus of the movie, and frankly, it tried too hard to make me care about them. This is Transformers, not a drama: I came to the movie to see giant robots blow each other up, not to see Megan Fox and Shia Labeouf get it on like Donkey Kong. Another thing is the "romance" between Fox and Labeouf: not only was it completely useless, but it was almost painful to watch their "love" scenes, if that's what you'd like to call them. The special effects didn't have that "wow" factor that the first one had, along with the sound effects. Another thing that was definitely disappointing was the climax of the movie; since it's an action flick, you'd expect the final battle to be a great 10 minutes of awesome CGI explosions, right? Well, you'd be wrong; the main villain is killed in less than 30 seconds, which is a surprise considering that the movie's about 150 minutes. The movie dragged on for waaaaay too long as well.

I still have several things to complain about this movie, but I think I should move on to the good things. Optimus Prime is a badass, it's that simple. I also liked that they gave the Decepticons voices this time, especially Starscream, since he desperately needed a voice. Even though the special effects weren't as surprising as the first one, they're still pretty cool to watch.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an incredible disappointment. I highly suggest waiting for Harry Potter, or some other blockbuster, because this is one of the worst movies in recent years. Definitely a large disappointment.

I'll admit not:I was not disappointed.
Albeit the plot was not intricate,and all to predictable in parts,but then anyone going to watch this is not going for the story line,just the special effects.
In this regards the movie blew me away.
The attention to details of the visual effects is applaudable.Infact a whole section at the threatre where I watched the movie were shouting and clapping towards the end,a sign of enjoying their money.
All in all,it was a fun movie to watch,maybe they could have tried better in other areas,like the plot,directing of the humans etc,but no of these makes it unenjoyable

Boom. (Racist and Stupid dialogue).

I have just summed up the entirety of the Transfartmors 2 experience!

Why does this movie suck so much? At least the first one had some cool action and some ironic and slapstick humor.It had its moments, definitely, but the first also had a few, mostly michael bay related, problems.

As said by the indespensible jolly jack, the filmakers looked upon these issues, then multiplied them by a hundred.

Seriously, if they wanted this movie to be good, after the first, rather good movie was made, they should have thrown michael bay down to the laurentian abyss along with megatron.

Nuff said.

  The sequence serves no real purpose beyond dazzle for dazzle's sake, but when you're watching it, that's purpose enough.

  A well-oiled, loudly revving summer action vehicle that does all that's required, and then some, within the confines of PG-13: It cracks genitalia jokes, messes around with toys and blows stuff up.

  If you enjoyed the robo-spastic ride the first time, then you should be happy with this movie, too. And if you complained that the first movie was trite and lacking in character development, then you probably shouldn't even be reading this.

  With its intelligence at the level of the simple-minded, however, the film is not likely to attract moviegoers who seek something more than a screen filled with kaleidoscopes of colored metal. Fan boys will no doubt love it, but for the uninitiated it's loud, tedious and, at 147 minutes, way too long.

  The man (Bay) just wears you out and wears you down, so much so that it's easy to pretend that you're not ingesting 2 hours and 30 minutes of warmongering along with all that dumb fun.

  Roughly an hour in, Transformers 2 morphs from teen adventure into lumbering war movie. Bay and his screenwriters squander their human capital in order to show us scenes of 20-ton toys crushing 10-ton toys.

  At least in the last half-hour, Bay's incredibly sloppy continuity and overeager rush to action pays off.

  This is blockbuster porn absent even the suggestion of care or concern for anything that might resemble "a point," save the obvious one to move more Hasbro action figures and animated-series DVD boxed sets. In a word: distasteful.
