this movie is very excellently done, because we know that after the invention of modern science our life is very easy and comfortable for us.... in this movie we noticed that every robot are act by the graphics. this is the hard work of a choreographer and a director.we also noticed that the voice of the robot is artificial but its seemed to us every robot are talking and showing their awesome magic which is not real but it feels real. after all the story of this movie is really good and the character Sam acting and the special character optimus prime acting is surprise to every Hollywood fans and the spectators. on the other side in cinema hall we follow that when the movie is showing on the screen every spectators are attentive. even in Bangladesh every cinema hall are specially show this movie in discount.people of all over the world enjoy the movie and specially this movie is loved by me also;;; so we can say that this movie is different than any other Hollywood movies. so thanks to the director,editor,actors and all the people who worked for gift us a special one

The Storyline

[aditbiju · 10/10 · 19 January 2019]

The Storyline is OK, is mainly about Sam growing up without Bumblebee.

Transformers is a saga

[lylejr · 10/10 · 19 January 2017]

i love transformers lol i would never give any transformer movie a bad rating XD i also cant wait for transformers five the last knight i think i was 5 or 6 when this came out in theaters and the 1st movie when i was like 3 or 4 years old gosh i don't know why this movie is the 2nd most downrated of all 4 of them, following age of extinction i love that movie, i love all 4 movies, this movie has mixture of humor swearing fighting and explosions and stuff but i don't care about explosions i love michael bay. this should be at least a 7 rating or probably even more higher, i love this movie to the fullest but i don't really know if it wouild be legal to give this movie a all the way up to 10 rating

vfx treat

[Bigdreamsjay · 10/10 · 13 June 2014]

transformers main lead is optimus prime and other autobots or whatever robots are there.Fans here to see robot action,epic visual,blast,loud sound effect,visual effects and all in all Micheal bay style.This film bring all together.

Micheal bay is underrated by critics, i don't understand critics at all when i saw reviews of other Oscar nominated movies u will see some say entertaining,masterpiece bla bla bla its all lies last time i saw a Oscar nominated film after see their review i wasted my money and time they are zero entertainment even worst so please see it and judge it your self.

After see all the negative reviews this film is blockbuster worldwide still we wanna see transformer 3 and now transformer 4 it already create hype when it first announced, so lets just agree we love transformer and Micheal bay films please don't follow critics its worth watching 2 hours 30 min just passed by just like that this is called entertainment 10/10

The sequel of Transformers is improved in direction, cinematography, effects, action, plot, duration, transformers, but is worse in seriousness compared to the 1st one.

[Mivas_Greece · 7/10 · 15 March 2021]

Fantasy/action movie. The sequel to Bay's great franchise, Transformers. The 2nd film further enhances the action, the effects, but also the overall budget, since we are transported to the desert and foreign countries. Also, Steve Jablonsky's excellent selection in the music of the film and in the songs the top New Divide from Linkin Park continues. The second film is longer in plot and duration than the first, but Bay's lack of seriousness is also unfortunately reinforced in this film. He also makes reference to another of his great film, Bad Boys 2, through a large poster in the film, while in the first he mentioned the Armageddon. The threat of bigger, and more dangerous transformers, and generally all the elements are improved in this film, only overall it is less serious than the first, especially in dialogues and some characters. Better in action, effects, directing, but inferior in dialogues, so it remains at the levels of the first, perhaps a little below, but for different reasons.

Excellent & Enjoyable

[FilmMan47 · 10/10 · 29 May 2011]

I don't hate this one! My second favorite in the series!

[joshuadrake-91275 · 9/10 · 29 September 2015]

Following the success of the first TRANSFORMERS, a sequel was announced for a summer 2009 release, but had to go through a lot before it was released and the Writers' Strike was one of them and the film received almost negative reviews from critics.

The plot revolves around Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), who is caught in the war between two factions of alien robots, the Autobots and the Decepticons. Sam is having hallucinatory episodes of Cybertronian symbols, and is being hunted by the Decepticons under the orders of an ancient Decepticon named The Fallen (Tony Todd), who seeks to get revenge on Earth by finding and activating a machine that would provide the Decepticons with an energon source, destroying the Sun and all life on Earth in the process.

The story is very incoherent, but I still watch this movie and like I said, this movie had a lot to go through before being released and I am not going to talk about this movie. My god, man. I can't hate this movie.

If there is one thing I hate about this movie, that is a scene where Optimus Prime is killed by Megatron and I did feel some emotion in the scene, but I almost cried because he was killed and did not come back into this film until before the end credits come on and when he comes back, it is okay, but I just did wish they did not kill him off in the middle portion of the film.

The visual effects on the Transformers are really amazing as hell and it was fantastic, but the CGI on the Fallen is a little off, but it is really amazing. The musical score by Steve Jablonsky is really amazing and the score is just fantastic as hell, especially with the other Transformers films and the scary movie remakes produced by Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, this includes the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday THE 13th remakes. The acting is amazing. Shia LaBeouf once again plays Sam Witwicky and he does an amazing job. Megan Fox is really hot and cool as Mikaela Banes and this would be her last TRANSFORMERS film, and I would have loved to have seen her play that character in the third film. Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson are cool in their roles, too. John Turturro is really funny, but there are scenes that the humor is taken way too far in this film.

Isabel Lucas as Alice is creepy and hot in the screen time that she has. The other person, Ramon Rodriguez is funny as hell as Leo in this film and I would have liked to have seen him in the third film as well.

This would be the last film to be distributed by DreamWorks Pictures as Paramount Pictures distributed future films in the franchise.

Overall, with TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, I love and hate this film and that's pretty much it. I give it a 5 out of 10 because I have the two-disc DVD and I watched the special features and even the documentary and I felt sorry for the filmmakers and cast doing this film, but they made one hell of a sequel. Critics should have gave this movie a lot of critical praise for this movie.

This is Michael Bay's worst reviewed films along with Pearl Harbor, Transformers: Age of Extinction and Bad Boys II.

my review four this title

[liamwuthrich · 10/10 · 17 June 2013]

well this is a movie full of romance action and hart crunching action and use of unighted state's military also it has a twist this the acter's make friend's with the autobot's to start there quest to stop magnetron the harvenger of death and his force's that are trying to defeat a weak planet. also this movie i would recommend to all my friend's the one's that would watch it also i commend Mikael bay four bringing this kind of movie to hour planet with music and cgi imagining also i think people posting on rotten tamoetoe's goto far when make there post's and even if i am one person the fact they made this film still mean's a job well done by all who were involved in this film. also adult's could learn from movie's involving science fiction. fantastic movie. maybe there will be another one soon with original cast from first film.

One for the Action Fanatics!

[tripati-riot · 8/10 · 17 August 2014]

From director Michael Bay comes the second installment of the Transformer series - "Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen". In this epic sequel, the war between the auto bots and the decepticons continues. The movie begins with a fight sequence involving the NEST, which is a joint umbrella group of humans and auto bots, fighting to eradicate the decepticons from planet Earth. Meanwhile, the protagonist of the series, Sam Whitwicky (Shia Laboeuf) prepares to join college as he leaves his girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox) behind. He encounters a piece of the Cube, the energizer of the transformers, which encodes the location of the Matrix in his mind. This Matrix can be used to activate machines called the Sun Harvesters, which are used by the transformers to transform the energy of the stars for their purposes.

This movie introduces the Fallen, an ancient transformer and founder of the decepticons. The Fallen was a part of a group of elite transformers called the Primes. The Primes had a rule that did not allow any of them to install a Sun Harvester on planet which still had life. The Fallen had flouted this rule and installed one on Earth. Thus, there had been war between Primes and the Fallen and the decepticons were born. This film follows the story of how the Fallen attempts to steal the Matrix from Sam and avenge his defeat at the hands of the Primes, by killing off Earth's Sun.

In line with its predecessor, this movie has stunning visual effects and resounding explosions. With a fast moving script, it keeps the viewer engaged for its full span of 150 minutes. The fight sequences are almost perfectly placed in the movie to enthrall the ones crazy for an adrenaline rush and the true transformers fan. All in all, it's a complete package for all the viewers.

Good but not amazing

[dimetrodont · 9/10 · 12 March 2017]

Now the movie is hated a lot but let's look at what what was good 1:Gave us Sideswipe one this the gave us was sideswipe one of the most coolest characters ever. It also gave us fem bots sure we only saw like 1000 milliseconds of them but hey they're there. 2:Visuals were amazing i mean awesome sure they did look kind of fake but this isn't a real life situation it would a catastrophic event

While their were some wrongs i admit like all the Sexual crud but it's Micheal bay what do you expect Now the twins were kinda funny but a lot of people perceived them as racist but the twins did have some funny lines like "It's supposed to hurt it's a ass kicking" that was pretty funny in my opinion

Some of the scene's were epic like (Spoiler Alert) The massive 3v1 that optimus and the three decepticons had (Megatron, Starscream and blackout) And the fight with the fallen and optimus and the shanghai part was cool

In the end the movie is good it does get somethings wrong but if you don't think of them and just sit and watch you have a really entertaining movie good movie

The one Transformers movie that's good.

[trooper5783 · 9/10 · 2 January 2016]

I actually saw this movie at a generally filled theater in Virginia around early July of 2009, a tad bit after it's official release in late June. I was 8 years old and I liked the first Transformers, although not as much as my brother, who was 6 at the time, who was a huge fanatic of all sorts of robots and creatures fighting in the Saturday morning cartoons, and he was extremely pumped, but I wasn't too excited, although I did think it looked like a good movie. I saw it with my family, and we loved it! I didn't know this got bad reviews at the time because I wasn't familiar with film critics, and I won't say it's perfect, but it's a great summer film in its own right. The action and special effects are extravagant, particularly the forest battle and whenever a computerized Transformer is interacting with a human character. But I'll say that some of the comedy maybe a little too awkward to watch with families, in addition, the Leo character wasn't important nor funny in the slightest. Other than a couple of small problems, ROTF is a ton of fun for Transformers fans and action movie fans.

Not as Fresh as the Original,but Still an Enjoyable Sequel,

[lesleyharris30 · 7/10 · 5 November 2013]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a good movie with a pretty good storyline and an average cast.Its definitely not as enjoyable as the first Transformers and it goes on too long,also an awful lot of the movie is very long action sequences,that go on for so long that after a while you don't even know whats going on.Shia Labeouf is just as good as the first,but Megan Fox is probably worse,I didn't like her in the first and I didn't like her in this,she is very attractive that is clearly the only reason she makes it in such big movies,because she can not act.Like the first my favourite actors are definitely the voice actors,they do a very impressive job voicing these strong characters,and the addition of the small auto it's was very humorous and added as a good comic relief.Fans of the first Transformers will be disappointed,but Revenge of the Fallen is still a good sequel.

After leaving Bumblebee and the other Autobots for college,Sam (Shia Labeouf) starts experiencing weird symbols in his head that result in the return of the Decepticons.

I enjoyed it

[treymoncrieff-29917 · 10/10 · 8 February 2021]

I don't know why most people don't like this film but I think this is one best Transformers movies ever

Truer to the Animated Series than First Movie

[MovieVoyeur · 10/10 · 7 April 2012]

************************************ ******WARNING SLIGHT SPOILERS******* ************************************

In fact this movie is truer to the spirit of the original animated TV series than the first. For the true fans, can you remember any strong human characters in the original? It was never about the humans, but about the battle between Decepticons and Autobots.

Finally, they are now battling for Energon. Like the TV series, this is the reason the two factions battle endlessly, not this All-Spark business.

One complaint I have is that they've just introduced too many bots. I just can't follow who is whom, when every minute a new bot is introduced. One really has to watch it several times to be able to follow it properly.

This movies is big, of epic proportion, not just and action flick.

Transformers revenge of the fallen was great.

[xgiezwku · 10/10 · 14 May 2021]

I thought that Michael bay out did himself on the first but the graphics, storyline, and and music(linkin park_new divide) was excellent i cant wait to see the next yes for those of u who have not yet seen it there will be a 3rd but slow your horses its not coming out for years to come.

Epic

[user-543-975655 · 7/10 · 11 June 2014]

Because Transformers 4: Age of Extinction is coming out in less than a month, I decided to re-watch some of the older Transformers movies. After re-watching the first movie, I decided to review it (feel free to check that review out). Then, I thought it would be good to review all of the Transformers movies, which is why I am reviewing this. The Transformers series really is awesome, and it is one of my Top 5 favorite series. Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox really are a good couple in the movie, and they fit together perfectly, so they were great casting choices. Every other main casting choice was great, such as Josh Duhamel as Lennox, and Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime. Everyone in the movie was great, however, and all played a believable part, and displayed their emotions and delivered their lines without a single problem or malfunction. One problem I had with the first movie was that the camera was extremely shaky during some of the battles. Sure, the recurring slow motion shots helped, but not all the time. There was not a shaky camera in this installment, and that really made me happy. The camera did a lot of cool angles, such as when they rotate around the action, or battles. Which were amazing except for one thing. Sure, the special effects were fantastic, and the battles were extremely entertaining. However, they were only entertaining when there were just 4-5 Transformers and a bunch of people at max. But there were some scenes where there were so many people and Transformers that I could not tell who was who. After you spend half of the battle figuring that out, they are really fun to watch. The special effects in the Transformers movies really are awesome, though. The Autobots and Decepticons look so great that they are even more believable than they would be if they were cheesy. The voice actors are so great in this movie, and all of the voice actors were perfect choices for the Transformers, which made them very fun to watch. The robots such as Mudflap and his twin added a lot of good humor to the film, as well. On to the music. The music was very good, and some of it was taken from the original Transformers, such as a song called Arrival to Earth, by Steve Jablonsky. Jablonsky made such good music for this movie, which is awesome because music is one of the most important parts of a movie. The setting varies greatly from the first movie, which is refreshing so it isn't like we are seeing the same battles again. The only reason I gave this movie only a 7 is because it is so long. Some of the scenes drag out way too much, and there were about five boring parts. The story also differs, which is good. The writers still used some of the objects in the first movie such as Energon and the AllSpark cube. There were new objects and new Transformers in this movie, which made it a lot better, too. That's all I have to say about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Thanks for reading. See ya!

I've had enough

[moqjdj · 10/10 · 14 May 2021]

I'm done with these idiots who can't appreciate a good - nay, AWESOME - movie that delivers exactly what it promises - record-breaking action sequences and CGI only Avatar could hope to match. I didn't see any multi-story mech in Avatar that caused a computer to FREAKING MELT trying to animate it. I'm even willing to give the Twins a little leeway, as their lines were apparently the actors' ad-libbed own. Finally, it started back up my unhealthy habit of trying to find ways to put money in Hasbro's pocket by buying the damn toys. I'm counting down eagerly to the War for Cybertron game and TF3 (422 days as of this writing!).

Transformers: Revenge of the fallen , the best ...

[anushkahalsrivastava · 10/10 · 23 May 2021]

Underrated

[ahmedaboelshuur · 9/10 · 14 September 2018]

It is the best transformers movie must watch great awsome cgi great action

Screw the critics, this is a fanboy movie

[pgancarczyk · 9/10 · 20 July 2016]

When I came into the theater to watch this I had very high expectation after seeing the first one and when I came out I was like " wtf". That is a good reaction. The movie was great if your a fan because it had so much G1 in it. We had Sideswipe, Arcee( which had little to none screen time) and a lot more of Megatron. I'm going to start with the good parts of this movie. The forest battle was the best part of the movie even though it ends with a sad way but it was still amazing. The ending battle was great too with Megatron and the Fallen take on Optimus Prime. That was good. The bad parts were the major plot holes and the annoying twins.

Overall Grade-- Part 1 ( Action-- A) Overall Grade -- Part 2 ( plot, characters-- C) Overall grade A-

Awesome movie is 2 1/2 hr

[lrsgbkw · 10/10 · 14 May 2021]

Is 2 1/2 hr but it really worth it i will go to see it again.

A good sequel

[adamjohns-42575 · 6/10 · 11 April 2021]

I personally think that this one is slightly better than the first, because it doesn't have to establish all of the characters. Having said that, the story is a bit lacking and I really had to pay attention to try to understand what was going on at times. There could have been a bit more of the every day Sam to counteract the more apocalyptic elements and give a bit of balance. It all happens very fast.

I also think that there was too much "Comic Relief". We already had The Witwicky's and Simmons and to some degree Sam himself, the addition of The Twins, Jetfire and Leo was fine, but they didn't need to be so comedic too.

At times it is difficult during battle scenes to see who is who and which ones are winning.

It is a good film though and an enjoyable watch for anyone who likes cars and things being blown up.

Transformers

[MR_Heraclius · 7/10 · 5 March 2020]

This second installment of the Transformers series wasn't as fantastic as the first one but it was still pretty good. Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot to the movie was pretty good and the action scenes were pretty cool. A lot of people didn't like this movie, but I did and I would recommend it.
