It's frustrating that if Transformers 2 took itself a little more seriously, it might just have blown audiences away the same way the original did.

Michael Bay knows how to spoil any film he touches, taking an extreme step down from the surprisingly fun original.

with Bay under pressure to squeeze as much content into two and half hours, it was inevitable that some elements of the formula wouldn't work

This benighted cacophony is a painful blend of overproduced action and shameless exposition

Watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is like going to one of those chain all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants: The potatoes may be overbaked, the green beans limp and the beef lukewarm, but no way are you walking out of there hungry.

Clocking in at almost 2 1/2 hours, Revenge of the Fallen feels interminable.

Think of this film as like the first one multiplied by ten. Everything that was good is better and everything that was bad (the relentless stupidity of its story) is worse.

I have never felt more like a third nipple than I did, as a screenwriter, while watching Michael Bay's new movie, 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.'

This bombastic follow-up delivers everything you'd expect from a Michael Bay sequel: big action, bad jokes and lots of circling-camera shots.

A bloated action sequel so packed with special effects that it's virtually a cartoon

You know, it's kind of block-headed. But it's exactly what you'd expect from action director Michael Bay. And hey, it is about robot-like creatures, after all.

This mindless, soulless sequel is sensory overload with barely a story, but it will still manage to please the teenage male demographic with constant, if confusing action.

Loud, long and utterly incomprehensible, 'Revenge of the Fallen' is an exquisitely painful experience that pummels the senses as it confounds the intellect.

The worst thing about the movie, out of many, is that it takes a $200 million budget and a two-and-a-half hour running time, and not a single memorable, impressive or fun thing happens.
