Critics Consensus

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.

TIME Magazine

The movie is like the play date from hell, the kind where a crew of children reduce your home to rubble and conduct endless bouts of loud war on the living-room floor while you ponder the propriety of opening a bottle of wine.

Film Comment Magazine

Eager to get myself into the right mindset for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I turned to the multiplex patron sitting next to me and politely asked him to slam my head against the forward seatback.

I would like to think that even if I was 14, either in body or spirit, I would still find this film an impossibly, incomprehensibly overlong and cacophonous bore.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an extremely flawed film that re-hashes the same shots and didn't know where to take it's story...

Rated: C-

Deep Focus Review

Bay finds every reason and no reason at all to blow stuff up real good, proving once again why he should be directing energy drinks commercials and music videos, but not motion pictures.

Rated: 0.5/4

Arguably the worst film in the series, it's the celluloid equivalent of a 150-minute waterboarding session.

Rated: 1/4

In my opinion the sequel was executed very well. There were many options which Michael Bay could’ve take. The shots in the desert are absolutely stunning. Yes there are many caotic side-scenes but overall i really liked the 2nd part!

Much like the first movie this one strayed further away from the original source material and suffered from poor writing and a terrible story. But if you could get past that, watching giant robots fighting was still good fun.

Reconed the first movie. The Fallen was a really boring bad guy and he was done dirty in this film especially if you’re a massive transformers nerd like myself and you know this guy is supposed to be like the most powerful Decepticon. And he just gets punched to death by Optimus. Optimus dying could’ve been an interesting dynamic for future movies but they brought him back super overpowered. Acting was gross (except Shia LeBeuof) the movie was just rushed and it suffered majorly because of it.
