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 06/09/2014
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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... Go to Full Review

0.5/4
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. Go to Full Review

Ethan W Dec 6 I loved this movie growing up, the CGI is perfect, the film is my favourite of the Michael Bay films. See more Paul S Nov 29 Once again, another slam dunk from the Transformers franchise! The story was compelling, the visuals were amazing, and I loved seeing more Transformers thrown into the mix. Shia LaBeouf's performance as Sam Witwicky is always fun to watch, and Peter Cullen's voice as Optimus Prime is the icing on the cake. I had so much fun watching this movie, I definitely recommend it for action, sci-fi, and combat fans, and for fans of the Transformers franchise! See more Lukas G @LUKASSSS Nov 5 Trash. Terrible humor, story, characters. Trash, trash, trash! See more Nathan J. @TribianiRamoray Oct 28 Rating: 5.5/10 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a loud, chaotic, and incoherent sequel that's a technical marvel but a creative disaster. The film's poor storytelling, grating characters, and juvenile humor make it a punishing watch. Highlights - Visual Effects: The visual effects are a staggering technical achievement, with impressive CGI robots and massive-scale action. - Action Sequence: The "forest fight" sequence is a brutal and fantastic piece of action choreography. Criticisms - Nonsensical Plot: The screenplay is a catastrophic mess, with an incomprehensible mythology and no emotional core. - Offensive Characters: The film features grating and offensive characters. - Poor Direction: Michael Bay's direction is noisy, hyperactive, and visually incoherent, with juvenile humor. Verdict Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a spectacular failure, representing the worst of Michael Bay's film. It's a loud, dumb, and joyless film that's best avoided. See more Luke B. @lukebsigma2001 Oct 24 The most underrated hidden gem! Alice is sexy AF!!!! See more Logan H @loganhughes Oct 21 Nowhere near good as the first movie, but still a pretty decent sequel. See more Read all reviews
