Product Description

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

Brillant

Review Date: January 30, 2010

Reviewer: Brandon Valeriano, Giza, Egypt

Transformers 2 was a brilliant piece of abstract filming. Deconstruction at its best, no semblance of plot or story logic. Its like a five year old drew a bunch of pictures with crayon and Bay added explosions, a hot girl, and minstrel robots. Oh, and a robot with literal balls.

In spite of all the critics saying bad things about this movie, I enjoyed it. If you look into any movie you will find some things wrong about it. I was entertained, and that is all I want from a movie.

Reviewer: M. Rice, Indiana

I bought this movie as soon as it was available on Blu Ray and bought the second one also. I think this is one of the best movie franchises made. Now all there is to do is wait for the third one. The picture and sound of Blu Ray cant be matched. Buy this movie and the second one with it and spend the next 4-5 hours enjoying 2 great movies.

Just as promised.

When I initialy purchased this DVD, I was skeptical about the price, and the quality of the product at that price. However, the DVD came exactly as promised, and in a timely manner.
