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

Reviews for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
After the first ten minutes, I just...wanted...the...movie...to...end.

This benighted cacophony is a painful blend of overproduced action and shameless exposition
10/04/09
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.
09/10/09
Clocking in at almost 2 1/2 hours, Revenge of the Fallen feels interminable.
08/30/09
"Megan Fox is the real reason for the popularity of the Transformers series."
08/23/09
Honestly, it gave me a headache.
08/20/09
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.

Oh how the mighty have fallen%u2026

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.'
08/01/09
This bombastic follow-up delivers everything you'd expect from a Michael Bay sequel: big action, bad jokes and lots of circling-camera shots.
07/30/09
A bloated action sequel so packed with special effects that it's virtually a cartoon
07/27/09
You asked for this, America.
07/25/09
Is it too strong to compare Revenge of the Fallen to Rodney King?
07/24/09
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.
07/15/09
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.
07/15/09
Loud, long and utterly incomprehensible, 'Revenge of the Fallen' is an exquisitely painful experience that pummels the senses as it confounds the intellect.
07/09/09
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.
07/06/09
Much of the movie is computer-generated hash, weightless even with nonstop BOOMS and METAL GROANS and THUDS.
07/06/09
Top CriticA crowning achievement--the first English-language film that needs subtitles in order to understand it. It's a shoo-in for the Razzies--Worst Foreign Language Movie in a Non Foreign Language.
