Nothing wrong with the film, or discs, but if you are buying this for the extras then be aware they have all expired. The digital copy and the 3D holographic experience both expired on 30th November 2010.

I loved the movie and for the price of 3 disc blu-ray set was brilliant value considering the high street stores were selling this product at almost double what I paid for it on amazon. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen on blu-ray looked fantastic and it really enhanced the special effects.

I would just like to say that I grew up with Transformers and so I would buy this anyway regardless of the actual quality of the film.
I really liked the first film although there was the odd stupid comedy moment (which not even the cartoons had), but this 2nd film takes that to an all new level. What were they thinking with the script? Is there any group of people that appreciate the stupid characters and the meaningless dialogue that makes the film feel so pointless?
The 2nd film in any series is known for having the visuals ramped up and this one is the same although they seem to have gone completely crazy with it. I wonder if they bought so much resource in to the special effects that they felt they had to use it! It's too much.
I also think that the people that have the final word over which characters to use and the story aren't true Transformers fans. Some of the characters are too far away from the originals and some seem to have been changed just to satisfy the sponsors through some of the heaviest product placement I have ever seen. Again, it's way over done.
All in all, if you're a fan then watch it at least once, if not then I wouldn't go out of my way to pick this up.
For anyone with kids reading this, pick up the 1980s film version which is the cartoon. The DVD should be a good price and will entertain far more than this.

How did they get the agreement to fund a third film based on this!? Just awful... no good lead bless poor Shia, Miss Fox as irritating as ever and a really pointless 'roommate' character who tagged along because....!? John Tuturro was wasted in it too. Original Autobots were barely in it and the new ones were as annoying as Jar Jar Binks! Too long with a weak main plot line! Awful ending that could have been tied up in 10 minutes really not half hour and totally without the hurrendously 'OTT' death scene too. Only thing that kept me watching was the transforming sound (love that sound!)and other 'bots' related sounds plus sheer morbid curiosity to see how dire it could get, and boy did it get dire...! Just abysmal!

Michael Bay is, at heart, a 10 year old boy, caught at the cusp with the first hairs on his pubis, filled with raging hormones, aware of the lure of girls, but with no real understanding of the female gender in anything but the most primitive manner. It's a fleetingly short stage of life, where the body is kidnapped by unformed desire, where big explosions and primitive ideas are still amazingly cool, and a world where a shiny truck can actually be the leader of a mechanoid alien race.
To call this film emotionally retarded is .. well, it's an insult. This film isn't just emotionally challenged : it has the insight, depth, cohesion, logic, intelligence and sensitivity smaller than my pet rabbit.
Though there is an excuse, during The Writers Strike, the film still existed. Instead of piecing together a plot and finding a reason for it, "Revenge Of The Fallen" started with all the action setpieces carefully constructed but no plot, no dialogue, no reason. It was only after that a (presumably cheap) somewhat unemployed and incompetent writer was appointed to make sense of it all in a short timescale, put together the pieces, and try and create a narrative that explained what the dickens was going on. And he failed.
This film doesn't make any sense. Not one iota. And not in a "2001" sense where what is happening is so obtuse that it is difficult to decipher. Transformers 2 is just... intellectually rancid and spiritually bankrupt.
At not one point did I care in the slightest what I was watching. I was watching stuff blow up, I was watching a bunch of 60 foot tall animated robot trucks fight about something hidden in a pyramid that would suck the Sun out of the sky. But I didn't care.... Read more ›

I've been a Transformers fan for well over two decades now, grew up with Generation 1, got caught on the recent tide of nostalgia and thoroughly enjoyed Michael Bay's first live action movie, despite the obvious differences from the franchise's first incarnation. Things change, and the movie was a blast. I looked forward to the sequel, hoping for more of the same but with a bigger scope to reflect the growing threat.
Well, more is certainly what we got with Revenge of the Fallen, there's no doubt about that. More robots, more locations, more fight sequences, improved effects. It's all up there on the screen, no doubt about that. The movie looks incredible.
Unfortunately, Michael Bay doesn't seem to know when to stop. There are simply too many Transformers on screen now to care about, and the few of them that do receive adequate screen time to get to know tend to be the more grating, comedy relief characters, while the potentially more interesting Transformers are relegated to the background.
Oh yes, the 'comedy'. There's way too much of it, and it's faaaaar too juvenile in nature. Jokes about stoned mothers, Transfomers showing their 'affection' for their new human friends, Devastator's swinging wrecking balls... I must admit the odd snigger, but felt quite ashamed with myself for it. This kind of stuff is just out of place, making it seem like giant shape-shifting robots have wandered onto the set of the latest instalment of the interminable American Pie series. And as for those twins...
A shame, because there is good stuff here. The core Transformers from the previous film remain and work well for the time they have on screen (save Bumblebee, who seems to have turned into Sam's stalker).... Read more ›
