TOMATOMETER
The battle for Earth continues in the highly-anticipated Transformers sequel, directed by Michael Bay.
Two years have passed since Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf, Eagle Eye) and the Autobots saved the human race from the invading Decepticons. Now he's preparing to leave home for college. Despite his extreme heroics, the battle of Mission City has become an urban legend believed only by conspiracy theorists. Sam is still an average teenager with everyday anxieties and excitement about separating from his parents for the first time, and vowing to be faithful to girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox).
Leaving home is something the Autobots understand. The Transformers' home planet of Cybertron is uninhabitable and the Autobots make the best of their lives on earth, working in league with the military as part of a Top Secret team called NEST. The NEST Team seeks to hunt down whatever remaining Decepticons are still hiding on earth.
National Security Advisor Theodore Galloway (John Benjamin Hickey), driven to prove that all Transformers should be banished from earth, endeavors to terminate NEST. Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, agrees to leave if the governments of the world wish it... but he warns Galloway to consider what happens if the Autobots leave earth defenseless.
Sam does his best to navigate college life, until suddenly he's besieged by visions. The Decepticons soon learn what Sam doesn't know; that he alone holds the key to the outcome of the struggle between evil and the ultimate power of good.
Find out who will win in this mind-bending special-effects feast for the eyes and ears. It's thrills upon thrills upon thrills!

TOP CRITICS'S REVIEWS
Fresh:
-Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out, November 16, 2011Rotten: It adds up exactly as you'd think if you've seen a moving picture before; the motivations are simple while the laughs pound you about the head and face.
-Laremy Legel, Film.com, May 06, 2011Rotten: Revenge of the Fallen ... plays more like Pearl Harbor 2, from the heavy-handed seriousness to the clumsy racial stereotypes (a couple of 'ethnic' robots seem to have walked straight out of the Kirk Lazarus School of Racial Sensitivity).
-Simon Miraudo, Quickflix, October 27, 2010Rotten: Much of the movie is computer-generated hash, weightless even with nonstop BOOMS and METAL GROANS and THUDS.

Great Robo Slapstick!

Marginally slower than the first movie, this one kicks gas. Giant combo Bot peels a pyramid. Old crabby Transformers duke it out. Shia goes to college and meets a girl with a wicked tail. Megan beats a mini-bot and makes it a pet. I only buy DVD's I'm going to watch more than once. This is one of them.

Shia LaBeouf is once again the star of this Transformer movie, while it is different from the original movie all the major characters that made the first movie such a success are back, as well as new ones.
