Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

The sequence serves no real purpose beyond dazzle for dazzle's sake, but when you're watching it, that's purpose enough. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

At least the special effects in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are remarkable: You never tire of the endless variations of robots Bay and his computer-generated effects crew come up with. Read full review

Ray Bennett

With its intelligence at the level of the simple-minded, however, the film is not likely to attract moviegoers who seek something more than a screen filled with kaleidoscopes of colored metal. Fan boys will no doubt love it, but for the uninitiated it's loud, tedious and, at 147 minutes, way too long. Read full review

Ty Burr

2 1/2 hours of tumescence disguised as a motion picture. Read full review

James Berardinelli

The storyline is so infantile that it will appeal to young kids. Read full review

John Anderson

Much of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is simply despicable. Read full review

Many scenes, especially the forest fight scene, play out like a symphony orchestra. So what this movie lacks and screws up, makes up for it 100 fold.… Expand

Revenge of the Fallen is a couple steps down from the first Transformers movie, but I still don't hate it quite as much as most people seem to.

It's a big mess, no doubt, with even more juvenile humor than the original, but the technical aspects and well-shot action make it a fairly entertaining watch. It's an ultimately forgettable and mediocre affair, but there's certainly enjoyment to be found in its set pieces.… Expand

This movie looks good, but that's the only achievement it gets. Everything else about it plainly sucks and it is hard to recommend this movie to anyone, even elder kids.

Both Steve Buscemi and the Wayans brothers should sue for royalties.

Boring, too long, too loud, too much BAY! Someone please tell Speilberg to drop this guy, I was under the impression Speilberg was a story teller, but Michael Bay has no clue how to tell a story. Worst film of the year and racist with it.
