Amazon.com 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

Decent movie / fembot March 18, 2010 S. Varughese This is a decent movie to own. I watched it and yes their is comedy relief. But would be nice if they made it more like the old cartoon series where the decepticons are in different colors. I was able to guess a couple of them, but not most. That is a flaw in my opinion that they should have fixed. I mean the autobots are in color, why not the decepticons.
As per the fembot, yes there is a fembot in this move, and she is hot. Gave Megan Fox a run for her money. Well she did run that is for sure. Also the new addition of Arycee, the female autobot was nice. Although it was way to dark in the movie for her scenes. They did change how she originally looked, but still I believe she looks good and hot. Arycee was always the autobot that was a little risky and had a sex appeal even if she is only a robot.
Hopefully if they create another movie, Michael Bay won't make everything so dark.
Dumb movie, Great Blu-Ray. March 17, 2010 Kevin Himpelmann 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
What can I say about the movie that hasn't already been covered elsewhere. This is one of those bizarre cases of a near-universally panned movie having a phenomenal Blu-Ray release. Every minute of the stupidity that is "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" looks gorgeous in full 1080p high definition. The audio puts you right in the middle of the action, and the extras cover more than you could possibly want to know about this film.
Insulting. March 12, 2010 The Jabberwocky (seattle, wa) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Hundreds of millions of dollars and they couldn't even scrape 5 fun minutes out of this 2 1/2 hour long assault on logic, base intelligence, and decency. I love fun blockbusters. I liked the first Transformers. Now, to help myself down the road to recovery, I'm here to register my amazement at just. how. terrible. this heaping pile truly is, in EVERY regard.
Why was every human present trying to talk at the speed of the guy in the old micromachine commericals? Even when I caught all the words, none of what they were saying made any sense or added any plot.
Was it just me or were Sam and Micaela the worst on-screen couple ever?
Were the humping dogs and, yes, robots, necessary? No forget necessary. Were they even funny?
Why did the writers feel that Sam's mother needed 15 minutes of the movie to herself? This was the worst onscreen presense I can recall in ANY film... Jar Jar Binks, you were sadly missed...
Could we get more breasts onscreen please?? I mean, seriously, there weren't enough. For a 'francise' based on pre-teen toys based off a cartoon and a film catering to boys of that age group, this revolted me. The credits would be more accurate if they read:
Shia LaBouf
Megan Fox's breasts
By the way, could someone please explain the plot to me? Here's the best attempt I can make:
Evil, giant, advanced robot killing machines were smacked down thousands of years in the past by... cavemen. And now they want revenge. Insert random dog scene. And the good robots are here to protect humanity. Too bad they either sporting buck teeth and dumbo ears (those 2 freak robots); prancing around like hairless, doe-eyed puppies (Bumblebee); or strutting around on screen with no other purpose than to blast those 'punk-ass Decepticons' (words of Optimus Prime). Insert breasts. Sam's got hold of a rock that seems to hold all the answers to the past, present, and future of the universe. Insert random, stock college dorm scene. Those punk-ass Decepticons devise an ingenius plot to get Sam alone involving a truly creepy babe-bot. Fully 10 minutes are spent developing this side plot, and meanwhile, about 1 minute is devoted to explaining the entire backstory and busting Megatron out of his watery prison. Insert more breasts, more college dorm scenes, but this time, add running and screaming.
I'll leave it at that. I could write a short novel on how awful this was, but that would require me to watch it again.
Great sequel to a good movie March 8, 2010 jslostwithout 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Now most of you know the sequels to movies are not as good as the first one with a few exceptions, IE Home Alone and Home Alone 2. This one isn't as good as the first one which was expected, but it does have some good fighting scenes for sure. I think maybe too much fighting scenes and the first one didn't have enough fighting scenes. Either way it is a good movie with a surprise at every other corner. I would say rent it first and if you like it buy it.
