Two of the three grow incredibly tiresome."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke "There is nothing - nothing - in Bay's film that can be taken seriously - although that becomes something of a problem in itself, given Bay's relentless exploitation of imagery from 9/11 and the Second Gulf War..."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel C- "In what has been an alarmingly weak summer, Transformers 2 really doesn't contribute much to improve it."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark .5/5 "If you ever wondered what a movie would look like geared toward the underdeveloped brain of a gestating zygote...then Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the insipid illustration you've been waiting for."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron D "A joyless, humorless, bloated carcass of an event movie...Nothing kills the euphoric buzz of exceptionally articulated carefree mindlessness quite like a newly emboldened Michael Bay."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 "at a time when kids are being pushed to grow up instantly and adults are encouraged to cultivate their arrested development, it makes perfect sense that Michael Bay is waiting for them right in the middle, Happy Meal in hand."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti D "You might make it out of the movie with your soul barely intact, but the actors in the film don't fare so well."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 1.5/5 "Leave it to Michael Bay to take the fun out of explosions."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 1/5 "It's a wad of chaos puked onto the big screen, an arbitrary collection of explosions and machismo posturing."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 58/100 "The Autobots and Decepticons return in this gleefully over-the-top sequel to 2007's successful Transformers, with many of the original's actors reprising their roles -- including Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, and Tyrese Gibson. The clutter"   AskMen.com   David Nusair D "A bad film that seems like a nightmare because it is one."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 0/4 "Putrid, offensive and life-sucking. Early word is describing this woebegone fiasco as the next Batman and Robin. Having seen both, Joel Schumacher has every right to protest the comparison."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D "While the loudness is periodically entertaining, it just becomes white noise after a while."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 0/4 "This is the single worst film to be released thus far in the summer of 2009 and that's a whole helluva pile of bad to overcome in achieving that title."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress F "Critics blithely refer to movies as 'painful' all the time, but this is the real deal."   AMCtv.com   Eugene Novikov 1.5/4 "I'd call it a typical summer blockbuster but then that'd be aninsult to summer blockbusters..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. D- "Even longer and noisier than its predecessor--as well as dumber and more incoherent...like a big, unsightly, clattery toy powered by a battery that just wont quit, even though you devoutly wish it would."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "An over-the-top movie that smashes and bashes the senses."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Did Hasbro produce this in association with the Department of Defense and Palin 2012?"   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 1.5/4 "Call me old fashioned, but I like a little side story and character to go along with my order of big, loud special effects."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1/4 "takes everything that was bad about the first Transformers movie two years ago, and amplifies it to deafening proportions"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Practically a remake of the first movie!"   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 0/5 "The best thing about "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is that it's perhaps the funniest movie of the year ... "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is not as bad as "Transformers"; somehow, in the face of long odds, it is actually worse."   MSN Movies   James Rocchi 4/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 4/10 "If you took a still shot of one of them in the middle of an action sequence, you'd need to think for about a second or two to really understand what you're looking at. The visual design of these Transformers appears decidedly uncinematic."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 33/100 "One can't tell if it's inspired in its attempts to find something that will draw us in or just colossally sloppy."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy .5/4 "Even for a Michael Bay movie, this robot-on-robot sequel is a pointless, messy assault on the senses. The special effects, of course, are flawless. The rest is scrap metal."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 3/10 "After the first ten minutes, I just...wanted...the...movie...to...end."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/5 "strefei to skopeytro tis se ena koino-stoho poy, gia na antistoihei me ti dieyrynsi toy budget, ilikiaka epekteinetai abyssalea pros ta kato"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "Oh how the mighty have fallen%u2026"   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2.0/4.0 "... there's no time to digest anything going on or in anyway connect with it because (Michael) Bay just HAS to show you something else... right now."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3/5 "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is everything that made the first film awesome and terrible at the same time... to a factor of ten."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/4 "The FX are still awesome, but they've lost their novelty factor. As for everything else, it still pretty much sucks."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest "It's not so much that the story is inherently bad; it's more that it seems no one bothered to put one in at all, and worse, that no one seems to have cared."   Movie City News   Kim Voynar D+ "After 149 minutes, I felt like I had been sitting in an aluminum garbage can while someone drummed on the outside with a wrench."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford D+ "...an ungainly and incomprehensible assault on the senses."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[L]ike the most totally awesome artifact ever of the end of the American empire... loud, obnoxious, sexist, racist, juvenile, unthinking, visceral, and violent... and in love with ourselves for it."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "The bottom line for me is that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen simply wasn't as much fun as the original. In their zeal to give us more of what they think we want, Bay and crew have sucked all the joy out of their own franchise."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "#transformersfail"   Beliefnet   Nell Minow .5/4 "No giant robots urinate on humans in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Tão ruim que deveria figurar numa cláusula adicional da Convenção de Genebra para que tivéssemos a certeza de que não seria exibido como forma de tortura a prisioneiros políticos."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "Despite having lowered the artistic bar to Death Valley levels, director Michael Bay has somehow managed to figure out a way to slither beneath with the flexibility of the pole dancers-in-training that he prefers to hire as his female extras."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2/5 "A bloated action sequel so packed with special effects that it's virtually a cartoon"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Is it too strong to compare Revenge of the Fallen to Rodney King?"   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick C "Like its predecessor, it remains resolutely critic-proof and more honest about its purpose than most soulless corporate abominations."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux D "A half hour of entertainment sprinkled sparingly over 2.5 hours."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "... the bigger, longer, more expensive and completely unnecessary sequel to the amusing 2007 blockbuster about giant alien robots..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 3/4 "The quintessential Michael Bay movie, though in this instance I mean that as high compliment."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "Michael Bay is an abstract artist... all of that hardware flying around the screen...are simply blobs of light and shadow...like paint spattered on a canvas by Jackson Pollack."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski  (1 - 50) of 53 OFCS Rating: 8% Rotten Page   12   > Next
