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.

REVIEWS FOR TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
Michael Bay knows how to spoil any film he touches, taking an extreme step down from the surprisingly fun original.
Apr 2, 2010
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
Dec 15, 2009
After the first ten minutes, I just...wanted...the...movie...to...end.
Oct 20, 2009
This benighted cacophony is a painful blend of overproduced action and shameless exposition
Oct 4, 2009
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.
Aug 30, 2009
"Megan Fox is the real reason for the popularity of the Transformers series."
Aug 23, 2009
Honestly, it gave me a headache.
Aug 20, 2009
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.'
Aug 1, 2009
This bombastic follow-up delivers everything you'd expect from a Michael Bay sequel: big action, bad jokes and lots of circling-camera shots.
Jul 30, 2009
A bloated action sequel so packed with special effects that it's virtually a cartoon
Jul 27, 2009
You asked for this, America.
Jul 25, 2009
Is it too strong to compare Revenge of the Fallen to Rodney King?
Jul 24, 2009
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.
Jul 15, 2009
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.
Jul 15, 2009
Loud, long and utterly incomprehensible, 'Revenge of the Fallen' is an exquisitely painful experience that pummels the senses as it confounds the intellect.
Jul 9, 2009
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.
