After the first ten minutes, I just...wanted...the...movie...to...end. Full Review |

2/5 |
This benighted cacophony is a painful blend of overproduced action and shameless exposition Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
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. Full Review |

2/4 |
Clocking in at almost 2 1/2 hours, Revenge of the Fallen feels interminable. Full Review |

"Megan Fox is the real reason for the popularity of the Transformers series." Full Review |

Honestly, it gave me a headache. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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.' Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
This bombastic follow-up delivers everything you'd expect from a Michael Bay sequel: big action, bad jokes and lots of circling-camera shots. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
A bloated action sequel so packed with special effects that it's virtually a cartoon Full Review |

You asked for this, America. Full Review |

Is it too strong to compare Revenge of the Fallen to Rodney King? Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
C- |
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. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
Loud, long and utterly incomprehensible, 'Revenge of the Fallen' is an exquisitely painful experience that pummels the senses as it confounds the intellect. Full Review |
||
|
0/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
|
Much of the movie is computer-generated hash, weightless even with nonstop BOOMS and METAL GROANS and THUDS. Full Review |
||

A 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. Full Review |
||
|
D+ |
A posed, pop-art cinematic ejaculation of instinctive, unthinking extremes. And no, that's not a good thing, sorry. Full Review |
