What to Know

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.

r96 s 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' is much like the original for me, in that I never got hooked into what was being portrayed in front of my eyes; I was more just processing the events, rather than actually absorbing anything. Don't get me wrong, neither flicks are bad, just not good in my opinion. I personally have a hard time differentiating all of the robots, even main dude Optimus Prime. Their designs aren't eye-catching to me, I don't feel like I'm looking at anything other than metal and tiny little light up eyes. The wall-to-wall action doen't help either, what with them just clattering into each other constantly. With that said, the aforementioned carnage does help in regards to the pacing and run time. 150 minutes is way too long, though to be honest it flows well for a movie of that length and I was never desperate for the end credits to arrive. I just wasn't properly enjoying myself at any point. Shia LaBeouf works, a competent and well chosen lead no doubt. Megan Fox really is only there to look beautiful though, eh? No dislike directed at Fox at all, more so at those responsible for the lack of tangible character development offscreen. The rest of the cast are alright, Tyrese Gibson is quite underused though. The voice cast are slightly better than those behind LaBeouf/Fox. I watched that first film just over five years ago, I hadn't realised until recently that they had made seven (!) of them; plus that bonus one last year. As if I'm going to watch them al... of course I am. I'm bound to like at least one, right? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Giacomo P Transformers 2 is a really fun movie, one of the best fun movies in the world Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Samuel W The second installment of the Bayverse Transformers movies comes as an underwhelming mess. The movie is all over the place and rewrites the lore in the original constantly, while killing off and keeping one of the greatest characters of the franchise out of the film for most of the runtime. The humans are also in it more than almost any of the Transformers, there are parts of the plot that are completely unnecessary and out-of-the-blue, and the movie feels clunky in general. However, the visuals are still absolutely amazing as usual, it is still a very funny film, the sound design is just as good as the first, and there are moments in this movie that makes the watch worth it. The first half of the movie, in my mind, is better than the second half, but the last battle of the movie is also very good. It really is just a big mess with good moments between the bits they didn’t know what to do with. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Brayden G A little bit better than the first Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Tolden S This is one of those movies that every family had and probably hated it,I don’t think it’s that bad it definitely has some of the best action sequences in the movie franchise (Forest Battle,Desert Battle) but holy moly the sex jokes are so unfunny this film wastes so much on Sam’s college drama to the point where this film feels like the worst in the series but then theirs so many moments that make it one of the best overall:Revenge Of The Fallen could’ve been good but was held back by not having a script,Unfunny jokes,Horrible Villain,(sometimes) Bad Acting the only thing holding it up are the actual transformers and Simmons and Leo (those 2 are great together we need a spin-off) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Jose B I would give this no more than a 48% and no less than a 35%. Movie had so much potential. It’s good if you’re a fan but if you’re not and just watch it then it would be MID at most. Lots of scenes which seemed straight up unnecessary. Storyline is bad and could have been way better. It was very in your face and lots of things going on at once. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
