The overall Rating of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie is pretty much straight forward, bad, as metacritic.com has it at a 38 Score out of 100. TV Guide (100), Entertainment Weekly (75), Roger Ebert (25) and Rolling Stone (0). It’s a shame , the movie looks pretty good, maybe too much like the first. Also cause Shia Labeouf is in it, with him screaming every line in the movie.
Here are the more favorable reviews:
If you enjoyed the robo-spastic ride the first time, then you should be happy with this movie, too. And if you complained that the first movie was trite and lacking in character development, then you probably shouldn’t even be reading this.-TV Guide
Yet each time the film reaches another clash of the titans, it becomes more than just a souped-up toy commercial. These toys have wizardry and grandeur. And in the case of Optimus Prime, the noble Autobot who converts into his nuts-and-bolts self out of a truck with a nifty orange-flame insignia, they also have a glimmer of soul. -Entertainment Weekly
The Mixed and less favorable reviews in the media.
The battle scenes are bewildering. A Bot makes no visual sense anyway, but two or three tangled up together create an incomprehensible confusion. I find it amusing that creatures that can unfold out of a Camaro and stand four stories high do most of their fighting with…fists. -Chicago Tribune
When Hasbro invented those Transformers toys, the intention was for kids to use their imagination about what those bots would morph into. Bay crushes that imagination with his own crude interpretations that seem untouched by human hands and spirit. I know there are still 17 months to go, but I’m thinking Transformers 2 has a shot at the title Worst Movie of the Decade.. -Rolling Stone

Whatever. I grew up as a fan from the 80’s and watching thing movie made me feel like a kid again. All of these negative reviews only make me like it more. Seioursly, have any of these critics watched the original cartoon? It’s giant robots fighting! STFU and enjoy it! From the time I was a kid to my early 30’s I’ve been a fan, and these movies only served to revitalize that fact. People, especially critics, take movies like this entirely too serious. Just turn off for 2 hours and 45 minutes (too short in my opinion =p ) and enjoy being a kid again while giant robots knock the crap out of each other! My score? 4.5 of 5.
You guys are all stupid!!! This movie was AWSOME!!!!! BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!
The critics are ALL CRAZY AND WRONG!!!!!! This movie was awesome!!!! It is exactly what it was intended to be, an intense action packed movie that entertains and amazes for the entire 2 and a half hours. Fire the critics
critics are crazy to say this is the worst movie of the decade. that’s plain ridiculous. this movie was amazing and better than the first in my opinion. best movie of the year so far
