One of the most popular, thrill-packed, franchises of all time is back with even more action and more Autobots and Decepticons! In the highly anticipated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to product humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

Summary: Bad DVDs
Comment: I purchased four Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen DVDs - two from Target and two from Amazon. None of the four worked in our DVD player (every other DVD we have works fine, including the brand new Star Trek DVD) - anyone else have that problem????

Summary: A crime against film-making
Comment: This movie includes blatant racism, overt sexism, gratuitous sexual content and violence, juvenile sight gags, and its most heinous crime- it tries to pass off all these things as being for the kids. Let's be real- this product is very much marketing to kids under 13 years of age, and the only reason this thing didn't get a hard R rating is because the filmmakers had enough money to bargain for whatever rating they wanted. It's absolutely sickening that this is the state of Hollywood.
Don't get me wrong- I'm not a religious person nor am I masquerading as a reviewer for a family website. I love action movies and explosions, and I even like appropriate racial commentary when it's done right. I don't appreciate scene after scene of mindless special effects interspersed with gradeschool-level humor from a junior-level director.
If you think watching robots who walk around like gorillas, talking in ebonics, with gold teeth, saying they "don't read much" (I am really not kidding- there's two of them), is a fine way to spend two and a half hours, then may Vector Sigma have mercy on your spark. Having an obviously ethnic stereotype made up as an Autobot in the first movie call the group "[...]" was already appalling- why take it further? Answer: Because people will pay money to see it, apparently.
Some will say that this is all subjective. Maybe the twins aren't really that racist, maybe it's okay for kids to see a robot with visible testicles (again, not kidding), and maybe more than one shot of dogs humping is justified somehow by the plot (I wish I was making this up!). Even if you wanted to try and grant all that, you still have to admit that the plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and there are holes big enough to ride Devastator through. Why for example are metal robots grown in organic space-sacs, which not only contradicts all source material, but just doesn't make sense anyway? And you'd still have Michael Bay's terrible filmmaking, where there are too many quick cuts and the shakey camera is zoomed in too far on the action. With the overly complex robot designs, battles are often unintelligible blurs of gray and brown with random blocks of primary color thrown in for reference points.
The final justification by fans, over and over, is that this is just a kids' movie, and hey the original 1980s cartoon was pretty cheesy. Which somehow justifies filming dogs in the act of reproduction. No thanks.
I like dumb movies, but this is just stupid.

Summary: Great effects
Comment: This movie has great special effects. The plot is not as good as the first one but it's a fun movie. Don't like Megan Fox on it but I think is someone the guys love so are going to suffer her in T3.

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: I am such a huge fan of the Transformers and grew up on it as a kid! So getting the DVD is very necessary and reminds me of the great childhood I had growing up in West Philadelphia.

Summary: Awerson
Comment: I enjoyed this movie, Looking for the next one where Shig and Megan are married. They get catch up in the maze of many worlds are connected together, a different pass is a new adventure meeting new duplicate/new all females transformers that wants whats in (Sam) head...............Sam needs to save his wife to any cost of necessary. The catch is all the transformers looks like Sam and Mackela. Bring It On............
