Product Description
THE BATTLE FOR EARTH CONTINUES IN THIS ACTION-PACKED BLOCKBUSTER WHEN COLLEGE-BOUND SAM WITWICKY LEARNS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ANCIENT ORIGINS OF THE TRANSFORMERS HE MUST ACCEPT HIS DESTINY AND JOIN OPTIMUS PRIME AND BUMBLEBEE IN THEIR EPIC BATTLE AGAINST THE DECEPTICONS WHO HAVE RETURNED STRONGER THAN EVER

Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That's an exact classification of director Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox's hotness to the max. As if she weren't enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there's the humor. Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White)provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious. As far as the “plot” goes, the writers didn't waste much time--it's really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences. The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U.S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there--and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn't want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance--which was arguably a good decision. --Jordan Thompson

 The nadir of Western civilization March 20, 2010
ecclesial hypostasis
There is a fundamental difference between popular art and 'high' art. High art offers up complex and challenging concepts and execution, only able to be appreciated by those with a developed aesthetic sense. Popular art offers simple and accessible material that can be appreciated by anyone, because it works with established conventions and techniques. But it can still be a richly rewarding experience. Cinema is one of the great purveyors of popular culture in our society, and many Hollywood films are remarkable examples of this craft. Not this one.
I give this preface because the standard defense of this film is its low-brow nature. Transformers 2 is meant to be a 'mindless action flick'. I enjoy action films that do not tax the brain very much. But apparently this has been misconstrued by the makers of this film to mean that they have license to be mindless themselves while making it. And apparently heartless too.
This is one of the worst films that I have ever seen. With every passing scene it sank below the lowest expectations that I had for its quality. The plot was entirely incoherent. The acting was laughable, and the younger women completely exploited for their appearance. The premises of the Transformers universe were violated or disregarded in completely unnecessary ways (apparently they can assume human form?). Every attempt at humour went for the absolute lowest common denominator of tasteless sexual or racially-based jokes, and scenes which called for some genuine emotion were unintentionally funny (robot heaven?). The much-vaunted special effects produced scenes that were almost impossible to follow due to the lack of differentiation between the robots. The film is also far too long and completely uninvolving - I found myself yawning with boredom by the time we arrived at the supposed 'climax' of the film and during its most intense action sequences.
Yet this is one of the most commercially successful films of all time. I think we need to collectively meditate on this and what it means for our culture. Perhaps while wearing sackcloth and ashes.
My God, what a bad Movie!!! This sucks in every deparment! March 11, 2010

Too much sex, too many stupid jokes, two stupid twin autobots, not enough action, too many complicated battle scenes, ridiculous decepticon house appliances, Megan Fox looking in every scene like she is doing a porno shoot, The most ludicrous and pointless plot I can remmember in recent years...and the list goes on and one. How it is possible that so many people working on a high budget movie don't realize they are producing crap?
The only good thing in the whole movie was the fighting on the woods where Optimus dies, really well done. But again like in the first movie the machines look way too complicated, is difficult to follow the action.
In few words, one of the worst movies in recent memory. And the worst is you know there is going to be another one.
 a more complete movie than the first March 7, 2010

while i gave the first movie perfect marks for sheer entertainment,this sequel is actually a more complete film,in my opinion,as much as this type of movie can be.for one,the story is actually much more interesting and more developed.the humour quotient is upped in this one as well.there are quite a few chuckles.some of the transformers are really neat,especially on the Decepticon side.the fight scenes between the Transformers are quite spectacular,though that isn't surprising.what is surprising is that the transformation scenes(when the vehicles change into their robot forms and vice versa were not seamless,and looked herky jerky to me.in the original film,this was not an issue.still,it's immensely entertaining.and despite a few minor issue.a better movie overall.as an aside,the movie is nominated for a Razzie Award for worst movie,which mystifies me.it's nowhere near Razzie calibre.oh,well.for me,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a 5/5
More action but more childlike February 27, 2010

Last night walking to my local Hollywood Video store (which is closing down) I found a fair amount of DVD's for only $5. Browsing around I found some interesting items and also I found Transformers 2. I never got a chance to see it at the movies, and me not being a big fan of the cartoons but a fan of its prequel I decided to purchase it since it was at that price. I already knew what many people and critics said about the film; when it hit the theaters I was disappointed to read all the negative appraisals from websites and people from work that viewed it. Still I decided to give it an opportunity.
The movie first of all definitely encloses what an action summer blockbuster should have: loud explosions, great special effects, nonstop action, good battle sequences; but unfortunately Michael Bay thought that the juvenile act on some autobots and decepticons and even including Sam's parents would enhance the film: the pointless gags, the `ghetto' slangs from the twins, their bothersome voices, leg humping (which I cannot blame since it was on Megan Fox -what a beauty-), showing off their testicles, and so forth. But beyond all those ridiculous happenings I found a movie that entertained me which was its principle. In fact, the plot was more thought of than the original making you think that Michael Bay probably wanted to take the film to a different direction, but whoever thought of the entire lame jokes I stated literally killed what could have been a better movie.
There is no essence to this movie that you should look forward to but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't see it. Don't expect to watch a movie that contains a mature atmosphere because after all, it's only Transformers.
Came quickly! February 24, 2010
