Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Reviews

Few elements of Fallen are completely odious unto themselves, but rolled together it becomes a wave of inescapable proportions.

Full Review

Built from the ground up to be a popcorn-devouring, eye-popping, nostalgia-sparking crowd-pleaser.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A minor improvement over its nigh abominable predecessor...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

It adds up exactly as you'd think if you've seen a moving picture before; the motivations are simple while the laughs pound you about the head and face.

Full Review | Original Score: C

I had a pretty excellent time.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

The people Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was made for will like it for what it is. Which is probably the saddest thing about it. As long as you're willing to accept crap, you're not likely to get anything better.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/10

Bayformers 2 is a mess of a story loosely glued together with lame jokes, fighting pixels and Megan Fox's ass.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Revenge of the Fallen ... plays more like Pearl Harbor 2, from the heavy-handed seriousness to the clumsy racial stereotypes (a couple of 'ethnic' robots seem to have walked straight out of the Kirk Lazarus School of Racial Sensitivity).

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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 | Original Score: 2/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

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

Honestly, it gave me a headache.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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 | Original Score: B-

Oh how the mighty have fallen%u2026

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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.'
