A smattering of reviews from around the globe...
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments...If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination." (Roger Ebert)
"Like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan!" (Bradshaw, London Guardian)
"Sums up everything that is most tedious, crass and despicable about modern Hollywood!" (Tookey, Daily Mail)
"A giant, lumbering idiot of a movie!" (Edwards, Daily Mirror)
"I hated every 149 minutes. This is so bad it's immoral. Michael Bay is a time-sucking vampire who will feast off your lost time. This is why the movie is so long." (Victoria Alexander, Films in Review.com)
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is such a pointless, messy assault on the senses that it's hard to even call it a movie. There is little intelligible plot, no characters to root for and hardly even a sense of place. What's left is basically a two-plus hour special effects reel. Even for a Michael Bay movie, it's just truly awful." (Joe Lozito, BigPictureBigSound)
And the ONE positive thing I could find (drum roll, please):
"Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is good when it is good, but extremely, shockingly, horrifyingly bad when it is bad." (Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com)
So...what do you think? Have you seen it? Will you?
