Critics Consensus

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

Mary F. Pols 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. Jun 9, 2014 Full Review Paul Brunick 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. Jun 9, 2014 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor 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. Rated: D- Jun 9, 2014 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 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- Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Arguably the worst film in the series, it's the celluloid equivalent of a 150-minute waterboarding session.

Cooper G Revenge of the phone isn’t as good as it’s predecessor, because it was me during the writer strike, which led all the jokes to somehow come out as offensive because of how rushed the film is and that there was no enough time to punish the film. If it weren’t for the writer strike the film would’ve been a lot better. But if you get all past the offensive parts, you get a good movie underneath it which is way too potential but from what they got out of the writer strike it’s actually pretty good if they had more time, the film would’ve ended up better. The scene were Optimus prime combined with jet fire to become jet power. Optimus is awesome devastator is a CGI Marvel. The only people that hate him is stupid G1 boomers the way Optimus prime dies and the scene when the Deceptacon’s attack America made the scenery felt hopeless If you happen not to like the film, I’m OK with it because it’s not for you. I couldn’t say the same for the 07 film because it’s actually good and yet people actually hate it a little too much. This film is overheated and deserves at least some respect. The criticism is valid, but the extreme criticism is not valid at all. The film was not as good as the 2007 film but a good movie from what they managed to get out of the writer strike. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 2 hours and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Crude and Sexual Material, Brief Drug Material, Intense Sequences of Sci-Fi Action, Intense Sequences of Sci-Fi Violence and Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $402,100,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Thomas H Honestly worth the watch, not the best plot but the action and CGI is without a doubt on point. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Nana B A great sequel but nearly the same plot like the first Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Go G Listen, im only here for the transformers and the fights. Love the animation and the sounds Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Riley S. If you’re watching for action, this movie delivers. The forest battle? Peak cinema. The CGI? Still top tier even today. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox have unmatched early-2000s chemistry, the Witwicky family brings chaotic charm, and Steve Jablonsky’s score absolutely slaps. And let’s not forget Linkin Park’s “New Divide” a perfect soundtrack choice that goes way harder than it needed to. But yeah… it’s not all Cybertronian glory. Leo is straight-up annoying, the twins (Mudflap and Skids) are painful comic relief, and Simmons flip-flops between fun and cringeworthy. The Fallen, for all the hype, ends up being a forgettable villain which is wild considering the movie’s named after him. Still, as far as bombastic robot spectacle goes, this one’s got some serious highlights. 🧨🚗🤖🎸 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
