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

Film Frenzy

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

Rated: 1/4

Revenge of the fallen....Terrible. Shia goes off the deep end in this movie (intentionally, but still bad) as he mutters, spasms, and spits his way to seeing visions and writing symbols. Megan Fox is used for sex appeal in this movie (a little robot literally humps her leg and she lets it). Returning characters abound, but Skids and Mudflap.....two terrible new transformer additions who have been called out as negative stereotypes of African Americans and is mentioned in level of annoyance with Jar Jar Binks. Constructicons and insecticons are in this which is interesting, but nothing comes of it. The characters revive an old Decepticon in an airplane museum , then immediately smash through the wall and theyre in the desert....what? Shia is apparently Autobot Jesus in this or something....Matrix of leadership....A transformer makes out with Shia. Terrible movie.

È troppo fatto a caso, solo battaglie a casaccio. Però alla fine non è il peggio del peggio.

Definitely the worst of the trilogy. Even though the film is fun to watch, it is impossible not to notice the consistent flaws, especially in the script.
