I don’t get how the critics were not kind to this films sure it was a little awkward and had hneccesary scenes as well as some fast paced cuts and over the top acting though it was kind of funny not to mention it has really good action scenes a fantastic soundtrack and a fine direction from the one and only Michael bay even though some stuff he put in the movie was a little rediculous like when he put those racist robot twins which is probably another one of the reasons this wasn’t that well recieved by critics it still had a god concept as well as some screen time with the robots even when it doesn’t focus on them to much like it was supposed to focus on them more, it’s a basically sci fi action mixed with jeuvenile comedy still the film could have been better maybe not as good as other great films like lord of the rings, godfather, the social network, the patriot, as well as the other bay classics, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, the rock and bad boys but at least it could have been as good as the first transformers film or dark of the moon. its still an entertaining popcorn flick, no it’s not a great movi nor even the best sci fi film of 2009 that would have to be avatar which is better and even though revenge of the fallen may not be as good as avatar it’s still enjoyable anyhow Michael bay still knew what he was doing and tried his best even though he didn’t succeed to impress the critics he still did what he could to attract the audience and make a decent enjoyable summer blockblusters. It’s definetly among the better films in the series better than age of extinction or the last knight which I think are the only bad films in the series I give this an 8 out of 10
