I'd rather listen to Mr. Roboto on a loop for 150 minutes than watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen again.

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

'The difference between men and boys is the size of their toys'...and the epic length and cacophany of their thrill rides.
06/25/09
A repeat of the MTV Award for Best Movie of 2007 won by the first film based on the Hasbro action figure line of toys seems highly unlikely.
06/24/09
Boasts spectacular visuals, sound effects and editing, but it suffers from tedious, mind-numbing action sequences, diminishing thrills and a plot filled with too much silliness, leaps of logic and blandness that leaves you feeling underwhelmed.
06/24/09
Filled with explosions, amazing special effects and a good dose of humor. It's everything a summer blockbuster should be.
06/24/09
The FX are still awesome, but they've lost their novelty factor. As for everything else, it still pretty much sucks.
06/24/09
This one was made for the geeks and the fan boys. Let 'em have it.
06/24/09
When the film finally ends, the audience doesn't feel so much elated as beaten into submission.
06/24/09
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is everything that made the first film awesome and terrible at the same time... to a factor of ten.
06/24/09
No longer better than sex.
06/24/09
While the loudness is periodically entertaining, it just becomes white noise after a while.
06/24/09
Prepare for bigger metal crunchers, louder explosion and more of Megan Fox's glossy lips.
06/24/09
The quintessential Michael Bay movie, though in this instance I mean that as high compliment.
06/24/09
The right notes are struck over and over for the target demo but there's not much for the rest of us. The special effects are no longer quite so special. A fact that doesn't stop Bay from committing more-is-less excesses.
06/24/09
Good when it is good, but extremely, shockingly, horrifyingly bad when it is bad.
06/24/09
By the climactic desert conflict, in which the entire Valley of the Kings is razed, the film has become so breathtakingly, boneheadedly brazen that it’s easier just to give in.
06/24/09
The movie is formulaic and routine, which suits (Michael) Bay's directorial style. Creativity is anathema to this by-the-numbers cinematic traffic cop.
06/24/09
The lack of -- you know, people -- distances us from the film, and the special effects are so omnipresent in those scenes that it feels more like we're watching animation than live action.
06/24/09
Quickly collapses into unmitigated big-budget tedium, all dressed up with nowhere to go.
06/24/09
This film is a poster child for the idea that more does not always equal more.
