Editorial Review:
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.

Description of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]:
Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That's an exact classification of director Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox's hotness to the max. As if she weren't enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there's the humor. Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White)provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious.

As far as the “plot” goes, the writers didn't waste much time--it's really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences. The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U.S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there--and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn't want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance--which was arguably a good decision. --Jordan Thompson

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Transformers: Revenge of the fallen
2009-12-15 - Some of the special effects were very good. That is about all the good that can be said for this move. It had Bad cinematography, poorly done fight scenes, and a poor story line.

The dispointment of the decade
2009-12-15 - When the first Transformers came out, I thought there was no way that transformers could possibly work on the big screen (the concepts of being a giant robot one moment, then a car the next seemed rather uninteresting). However, when I saw the movie, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a great balance of action and comedy, and left me excited at the prospect of a sequel. So this time I was excited for it, expecting it to surpass the original, in every way. Sadly, the sequel greatly failed at every turn. Rather than find a way to improve on the original, everything was more...much more. Did you like the robot fights in the first transformers? There's a lot more of those. Wanted more transformers? There's a ton here. What about explosions and stuff blowing up? There's that in spades.

But that's the problem...there's only more without any real improvements. There's so many transformers that sometimes its hard to tell who is the good guys and who are the bad, making the multiple fights rather un-impressive. There's so many explosions that you're almost numb to them half way through. Rather than space everything out so there's some impact, its explosion, fight, explosion, fight, brief moment of story, explosion, fight, etc. By the end, you're numb to everything. So numb that you actually pay attention to the plot which makes no sense. Why can only a prime kill the Fallen? He doesn't have a special power, there's no electric reason, and they never mention any programming issue. All prime does is bludgeon him anyway, so why couldn't anyone have done that. Why is there a transformer heaven? How are we supposed to believe building high machines are still a secret from the general public?

I guess the real problem is that there was no heart in the movie. While I know the first was a product of corporate moguls, it didn't quite feel that way. It felt like something fun and entertaining. This felt like every scene had someone saying "more explosions" or "more fights." While some may be entertained with this I was not.

overall great package!
2009-12-13 - Say what you will about a Michael Bay movie; I was highly entertained by this one. The special effects are phenomenal, acting great(you have to remember that most of the robot scenes are acted with actors and papercutout on a stick). Bay does a wonderful job integrating the action with his camerawork, it amazes me to this day.
The blu-ray version has colors so vibrant that you believe you are actually there. And the best part is the behind the scenes: methodically showing what went into this movie, which was a lot of hard work.
People bash Michael Bay movies for being vapid. I don't expect to walk out of a movie quoting Kierkegaard; I go to escape reality and immerse myself in pure entertainment. That is what this movie did for me, and the blu-ray package could not have been done any better in my opinion. Worth the money.

Michael Bay Did It Again!
2009-12-11 - Sick! Transformers is not trying to be an Oscar winning movie, (Bay) it's all about the eye candy and action. What MAN doesn't love slo-mo! No doubt, Transformers 2 (Blu-ray) delivers!

Not as good as the first
2009-12-11 - I bought this movie simply because I needed something new to watch because my son is addicted to the series. Transformers 2 has a lot of action, but I felt the plot was weak. I felt like I was in the middle of the story at the beginning. I am still excited to watch the third Transformers and the 2nd was a nice change, but the first movie was the bomb!!
