Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
Those mighty-morphin’ robots return with a US $200 million budget and scenes shot in IMAX. Michael Bay (Armageddon, Transformers) is of course back at the helm and all the main stars return, including Shia LaBeouf, John Turturro and long-limbed sexpot Megan Fox. This time the action takes a more international turn, with some parts of the movie having been filmed around and even on the pyramids at Giza.

Reviews & comments
Bay-tastrophe
The first TRANSFORMERS was undeniably fun in an INDEPENDENCE DAY kinda way. Great special effects, fun characters and it moved at a slick pace that kept kids and adults entertained as they munched their popcorn. This? This is headache brought to life. It takes every good aspoect of the first movie and by multiplying them destroys them. The effects remain...
Finally finished watching it.
Every time I have tried to watch "transformers 2" I have fallen asleep. This is probably a mixture of tiredness and boredom. This movie is genuinely terrible, I thought the first Transformers movie was ok. Nothing special but you were actually able to follow the action. Not the case for "Fallen." The action scenes are too shaky, the sound of the...
!! Complete dissappointment
Waste of my time! I don't know how long it was but it was too - bloody long. Could hardly follow the plot, and the transformers were boring, it's about them and I was more interested in the chemistry between Megan fox and shia lebeouf! when that happens in a movie, where the main thing is boring, the movie has to suck. DONT SEE EVER!
O.k at best
It was ok. The first film was amazing but this didnt live up to it. Too long and had a lot of rubbish that should have been trimmed back. Megatron was made to look weak i thought. On the bright side they had a lot of characters and relationships from the original generation 1 line. I was glad that after 25 odd years Bumblebee finally beat Ravage. Probably...

Michael Bay is evil
Worst movie. EVER! Well, perhaps not ever, but really awful anyway, and actually pretty offensive. It was so busy pandering to US military "awesomeness" that the Transformers themselves hardly got a look-in. From Predators to F22s, the US hardware got a lot more air-time than Optimus Prime. Virtually all the supporting cast are military, the US army...
Variety
pressLittle seems new compared to the first installment, except that this version is longer, louder, and perhaps "more than your eye can meet" in one sitting.
Total Film
pressOld folks may find the relentless sensory assault a little draining, but the bangs, ’bots and bombast ensure Fallen has everything Transformers fans will want and expect.
Roger Ebert
pressA horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments.
Otago Daily Times
pressThis movie is not as much fun as the first but it manages to retain a human scale while giving us really high-end special effects. Instead of fudging things with night-time battles, we see robot combat in bright sunlight. Which is pretty impressive.
Newshub
pressThere’s plenty here for 14-year-old boys to salivate over, not enough for the rest of us.
Hollywood Reporter
pressWith its intelligence at the level of the simple-minded, however, the film is not likely to attract moviegoers who seek something more than a screen filled with kaleidoscopes of colored metal. Fan boys will no doubt love it, but for the uninitiated it's loud, tedious and, at 147 minutes, way too long.
Empire Magazine
pressA super-sized second helping, but the novelty factor and some of the charm’s gone. Hey, at least there’s more Megatron / Starscream squabbling this time round.
