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

review November 22, 2009
John M. A. Kanaly (usa)
OK movie not what I expected. Did not find much of a story line and the transitions reminded me of a old mad max movie not something made today. I may have expected more because of all the advertising and toy's made around the movie.
 Bad DVDs November 20, 2009

I purchased four Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen DVDs - two from Target and two from Amazon. None of the four worked in our DVD player (every other DVD we have works fine, including the brand new Star Trek DVD) - anyone else have that problem????
A crime against film-making November 19, 2009

This movie includes blatant racism, overt sexism, gratuitous sexual content and violence, juvenile sight gags, and its most heinous crime- it tries to pass off all these things as being for the kids. Let's be real- this product is very much marketing to kids under 13 years of age, and the only reason this thing didn't get a hard R rating is because the filmmakers had enough money to bargain for whatever rating they wanted. It's absolutely sickening that this is the state of Hollywood.
Don't get me wrong- I'm not a religious person nor am I masquerading as a reviewer for a family website. I love action movies and explosions, and I even like appropriate racial commentary when it's done right. I don't appreciate scene after scene of mindless special effects interspersed with gradeschool-level humor from a junior-level director.
If you think watching robots who walk around like gorillas, talking in ebonics, with gold teeth, saying they "don't read much" (I am really not kidding- there's two of them), is a fine way to spend two and a half hours, then may Vector Sigma have mercy on your spark. Having an obviously ethnic stereotype made up as an Autobot in the first movie call the group "[...]" was already appalling- why take it further? Answer: Because people will pay money to see it, apparently.
Some will say that this is all subjective. Maybe the twins aren't really that racist, maybe it's okay for kids to see a robot with visible testicles (again, not kidding), and maybe more than one shot of dogs humping is justified somehow by the plot (I wish I was making this up!). Even if you wanted to try and grant all that, you still have to admit that the plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and there are holes big enough to ride Devastator through. Why for example are metal robots grown in organic space-sacs, which not only contradicts all source material, but just doesn't make sense anyway? And you'd still have Michael Bay's terrible filmmaking, where there are too many quick cuts and the shakey camera is zoomed in too far on the action. With the overly complex robot designs, battles are often unintelligible blurs of gray and brown with random blocks of primary color thrown in for reference points.
The final justification by fans, over and over, is that this is just a kids' movie, and hey the original 1980s cartoon was pretty cheesy. Which somehow justifies filming dogs in the act of reproduction. No thanks.
I like dumb movies, but this is just stupid.
 Great effects November 17, 2009

This movie has great special effects. The plot is not as good as the first one but it's a fun movie. Don't like Megan Fox on it but I think is someone the guys love so are going to suffer her in T3.
