We had three weeks to get our story and, really, we were going into the movie without a script. It’s tough to do that., Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the second film in the, a sequel to. It was released in North America on,. The film is set two years after the events of Transformers. The Autobots have found a home in 'NEST', a secret military unit created to eliminate the remaining Decepticons, and Sam is starting college and trying to leave his Transformer-laden past behind. The Decepticons are regrouping, however.

Megatron is restored to life, and his master, The Fallen, schemes to activate an energon-producing Star Harvester on Earth, which will destroy the planet and provide the Decepticons with enough energon to raise an army. The Harvester's location, and the means to activate it, are hidden within Sam's mind, leading the Decepticons to wage war across the Earth as they hunt down the human. Witwicky turns to some unlikely allies to escape and survive. Ultimately, the last of the Primes defeats The Fallen, destroys the Harvester, and proves the Autobots' greatest power is found in their unexpectedly-ancient alliance with the humans. Director set out to greatly expand the film's scope with settings ranging across the globe, and a much larger cast of Transformers, with over 40 robots in all. “ Revenge is mine!

Notices the humans, and his reaction is less than friendly. Two years after the battle of, the Autobots have teamed up with the American soldiers, including and, in a secret team named under the command of the, but also incorporating soldiers from other countries such as the United Kingdom. Officially, the US government still keeps the Transformers' existence a secret.

Well, I guess you don't know everything about women yet. NEST is hunting down the Decepticons on Earth. A region of, is evacuated to allow NEST to deploy with a cover-up of a toxic chemical spill occurring. As soldiers probe the region, they find the heat signature of the Decepticon, who transforms and wreaks havoc on the roadways. His discovery prompts his partner,, to escape as well. Sideways is pursued by, Skids, and Mudflap, although Sideswipe, waiting for the Decepticon, eventually slices him lengthwise in half.

Is airlifted to Shanghai and chases Demolishor through the city with. Optimus shoots Demolishor several times in the head, while Ironhide shoots out his wheels, causing him to crash and fall off a bypass, badly injuring himself in the process. Before Optimus kills him, Demolishor delivers the cryptic message: 'The Fallen shall rise again.' You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from Yoda. Meanwhile, is preparing for his move to college and dealing with his bipolar mother.

His father is looking forward to enjoying a holiday in Paris, and has a new canine companion named. Sam is on the phone to his rather snarky girlfriend, when he finds a splinter of the lodged in his 'D-Day shirt'. He experiences a brief flash of images before the splinter burns him. Dropping it, Sam sees the floor catch fire as the splinter burns its way down to the kitchen, where it brings numerous kitchen devices to life. These make their way to Sam's room and attack. He escapes to the garden, where the bots pin Sam and his father behind the water fountain. After has destroyed the kitchen robots (and part of the Witwickys' house with them), Sam hands the AllSpark shard to.

His mother demands Bumblebee leaves. Sam then tells Bumblebee to join the other Autobots, as both of them need to move on. Sam and Mikaela have a slight scuffle over who should say the words 'I love you' first, but they kiss and move on. Sam leaves for college, and no one notices a in the lawn. It detects the splinter and signals, who is stationed in orbit around Earth, disguised as a satellite, and Soundwave orders the truck to follow the girl. Meanwhile, NEST is in a video briefing with, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when they are visited by National Security Adviser, who has been dispatched to relay the President's concerns over the casualties in Shanghai. As Optimus relays the warning of 'The Fallen', Soundwave takes control of the satellite transmitting the message.

Galloway dismisses the threat, convinced that the only reason the Decepticons are interested in Earth is because of the presence of the Autobots. Therefore, he suggests that they may leave the planet. Optimus says that, yes, they will, but also warns Galloway that he may be wrong. During the conversation, Galloway reveals the location of the AllSpark shard Optimus Prime had picked up after killing, and the location of Megatron's remains in the. Sam arrives at college with his parents and meets his roommate,, who operates a and is convinced that alien robots are hiding on Earth. Sam feigns ignorance and goes to see if he can get another room, but his hunt is interrupted by his father and mother, the latter of whom has unwittingly purchased some marijuana-laced brownies. In the corridor, Leo points out, another student he has the hots for.

Sam is more concerned with tracking down his mother, who by now is roaming the school, informing random people about the state of Sam's virginity. Soundwave dispatches his minion to Earth, where he infiltrates the NEST base on. Ravage horks a swarm of into an ventilation outlet, and they swarm down to the chamber where the AllSpark shard is being held. There they combine into, who steals the shard and joins Ravage in a rapid escape. Although he's due to have a webcam date with Mikaela, Sam is dragged to at a frat party by Leo. He suffers some sort of attack, seeing which he is trying to write on a table with cake icing when he's approached by Alice, who attempts to seduce him. When Bumblebee shows up, she takes a ride with Sam, but Bumblebee does everything he can to convince her to leave, up to and including spraying her with an.

Bumblebee then takes Sam to Optimus Prime, who tells him of the theft of the AllSpark shard and asks Sam to speak with the government on their behalf. Sam refuses, saying that he has his own problems and does not believe that he is the right person for this task. What is thy bidding, my master? At the Laurentian Abyss, Ravage meets up with several, who have placed themselves aboard a cargo ship, then dives with them to the bottom of the ocean, where the US military has dumped Megatron's remains. Using the shard and spare parts from (who is presumably killed), is able to revive Megatron, who promptly travels to one of Saturn's moons, where the is being used as a base by the Decepticons. He is awaited by, who is overseeing the spawning of a new army of Decepticons. After beating Starscream for leaving him to die, Megatron presents himself to his master,.

Although Megatron believes he has failed, The Fallen reveals that when the Cube was destroyed, the knowledge within the AllSpark was instead transferred to Sam, and with it the means to locate a device capable of creating vast amounts of Energon. The Fallen commands Megatron to capture Sam and kill Optimus, who is the last and the only transformer who can defeat The Fallen. As he sits in 's astronomy class, Sam suddenly reads through the entire reference book in a matter of seconds, before interrupting the Professor's lecture to scrawl more of the strange symbols on a blackboard and deliver a speed lecture on higher physics.

After the Professor throws him out, he realises that the effects he's been experiencing may be linked to touching the AllSpark shard. When he calls Mikaela to warn her not to touch it, the tries to steal the shard, but Mikaela captures the tiny Decepticon. Mikaela promptly boards a plane to see Sam. Alerted to multiple Decepticon contacts, NEST mobilises, but the Autobots are already on their way somewhere, and refusing to answer calls from their human comrades. You are beaten. It is useless to resist.

Leo and Alice find Sam in the dorm room, freaking out and covering the walls with glyphs. Alice pushes Leo outside, and when Mikaela arrives, she finds Sam and Alice in what appears to be an intimate moment. It soon turns out, however, that Alice is a Decepticon as well. Mikaela, Sam and Leo flee as Alice hunts them, devastating the campus library; Mikaela eventually defeats her by slamming her into a tree with a hotwired car. The three humans try to get away but are captured by and delivered to the waiting Megatron in an abandoned building. Megatron orders 'The Doctor' to remove Sam's brain in order to access the information from the AllSpark shard, but Optimus Prime and Bumblebee arrive to free the three humans.

Prime takes Sam and flees, but is soon overtaken by Megatron, Starscream and Grindor. In the subsequent battle, Prime injures Starscream and kills Grindor by tearing his head apart.

However, Optimus is eventually impaled by Megatron and dies. The other Autobots arrive, saving Sam and causing Megatron and Starscream to retreat.

With the Decepticons unable to locate Sam on their own, Megatron decides that a show of force is in order to compel the humans to turn Sam over to him. Soundwave relays the mobilization order to the Nemesis and then tracks down and in Paris. Decepticons, joined by The Fallen, enter Earth and cause massive damage in their transition forms, destroying a in the and attacking Paris, kidnapping Sam's parents. In a hijacked TV broadcast around the world, The Fallen reveals his existence to the world's public and demands Sam be surrendered to him or else the Decepticons will destroy the world. As a result manhunt for Sam is launched.

Ready are you? What know you of ready? Sam, meanwhile, is hiding out with Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee and the Autobot twins, and.

Leo complains loudly about the strange turn his life has taken of late, and Sam rightly tells him to shut the hell up. The Autobots return to the NEST base, where they are surrounded by the military. Galloway tells them that he has placed in charge of NEST, which is to cease all activities relating to the Decepticons.

NEST is being stood down, and they are all to return to Diego Garcia, while the military draws up a coordinated multinational strategy, buying time by negotiating with the Decepticons. Though Lennox tries to argue, it's futile as Galloway pulls rank.

Ratchet says the Autobots should leave Earth altogether, but Ironhide points out that it's not what Optimus would want. Feeling guilty for Prime's death, Sam decides to solve the mystery of the symbols he's been seeing. The Autobots identify the symbols as Cybertronian, but since the language predates their existence, they cannot translate them. Leo eventually suggests they may ask his rival, ', owner of a, for help. To everyone's surprise, Robo-Warrior turns out to be none other than, former agent of. Simmons reveals that the Transformers were on Earth some time ago, as symbols similar to those Sam is obsessed with have been found on numerous excavation sites around the world, and that Sector Seven discovered evidence that several Transformers stayed on Earth for some time.

However, in order to read the symbols, they may need a Decepticon. Mikaela then interrogates Wheelie, who identifies the symbols as the Language of the Primes, and suggests they may track down one of the ancient, the Transformers believed to be on Earth. Wheelie identifies one as being nearby, in. Found someone you have, I would say, hmmm?

At the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, they discover an old Decepticon named, disguised as an SR-71 Blackbird. After some initial confusion on his part, Jetfire explains he has defected to the Autobots, inspiring Wheelie to follow suit. When Sam finishes writing down the symbols, Jetfire says that they were part of the Seekers' mission, and he opens a and teleports himself as well as Sam, Mikaela, Leo, Simmons, Bumblebee and the Twins to.

He explains that thousands of years ago, the Transformers arrived on Earth on an exploratory mission under their original leaders, the. The Primes had come to build a Star Harvester, a device which can create, the Transformers fuel, by destroying suns. The Primes had a single rule of never destroying a star with a living bearing world, but one of the Primes, forever known as The Fallen, despised the humans and tried to activate the machine. The Primes were unable to defeat their brother, but instead stole the, the key needed to activate the harvester, and gave their lives to seal it in a tomb made of their own bodies.

Jetfire further explains that only a Prime can hope to defeat The Fallen, and with the death of Optimus, they are doomed. Sam suggests that they may use the Matrix to revive Optimus Prime, which is backed up by Jetfire. They head towards Giza, dodging Egyptian police on the way. In New Jersey, NEST are loading up to return to Diego Garcia when Simmons contacts Lennox to relay information about the new quest, and co-ordinates where they can drop Optimus's body. Lennox and Epps decide to trust the new information and go against their orders.

Sam's group passes through a checkpoint, allowing Soundwave to pinpoint their location, but they reach the Pyramids of Giza, where they pick up the next clue, pointing to. On the NEST aircraft, Lennox tricks Galloway into bailing out of the plane. Back in the US, General Morshower receives a communique from Lennox, and arranges to have assets in the target area.

In Petra, Sam's group discovers the. Inside, Sam finds the Matrix, which instantly crumbles into dust into his hands. Sam collects the dust regardless, and he and Mikaela return outside where Simmons and Leo have spotted the NEST team parachuting into Egypt to begin preparing for battle near the pyramids. This baby's got a few surprises in her.

Before Sam and the others can get back to Lennox and his people, the Decepticons start their attack. Bumblebee, Simmons, Leo, and the Twins draw their fire while Sam and Mikaela make a break for the soldiers. The Constructicons merge into, who proceeds to swallow Mudflap. Mudflap, however, is able to free himself, together with Skids, they try to slow Devastator down. While the Autobots and NEST fight the Decepticons, Starscream leads several other Constructicons in a search for Sam, and intending to use Sam's parents to lure him into a trap. Falling into the trap, Sam offers to hand over the Matrix dust to the Constructicon, but only to stall for time until Bumblebee is able to attack and destroy the Decepticon.

Ravage attacks Bumblebee from behind, but is killed as well. Sam then orders Bumblebee to get his parents to safety while he and Mikaela try to reach Optimus Prime's body.

A remote drone relays pictures back to Morshower, who launches, ordering an immediate launch of pretty much everything they can muster. How you get so big eating food of this kind? In the meantime, Devastator has begun to take apart the pyramid that has been built around the Harvester. Simmons calls a navy ship off the coast of Egypt and orders the use of a railgun. Meanwhile, Sam finally meets up with Lennox and Epps, but they're pinned down.

Jetfire arrives and kills Mixmaster and, but is mortally wounded by the smaller Decepticon. Simmons relays Devastator's coordinates to the Navy, who score a direct hit on the giant with their railgun. Devastator is torn to pieces and topples from the pyramid.

After an air strike takes out most of the other Decepticons, Sam makes a dash for Prime's body, but is caught in the blast of a shot fired by Megatron. While paramedics try to reanimate him, the Matrix dust gets spilled across his hand, and Sam encounters the dead Primes in a vision. The Primes tell him that he was destined to find the Matrix and save the life of the last Prime.

Sam returns to life, which is enough to get him and Mikaela to admit that they love each other, and the dust in his hand turns back into the Matrix, which he is able to revive Optimus Prime. Perhaps you are not as strong as the Emperor thought.

Just then, The Fallen arrives by teleportation, steals the Matrix, and teleports himself to the pyramid, where he uses the Matrix to activate the Harvester. The soldiers and armored vehicles begin firing on the pyramid, but The Fallen raises the heavy weaponry with his telekinetic powers and destroys it all. Dying, Jetfire offers his parts to Optimus Prime, and then rips out his own Spark.

And then proceed to fuse Jetfire's remains with Optimus Prime, making him extremely powerful with flight capabilities. Optimus Prime is then able to destroy the Harvester, then faces the Fallen and Megatron. After a short, but fierce battle, Optimus defeats Megatron and kills The Fallen. Horrified at the demise of his master, the severely injured Megatron follows Starscream's suggestion and retreats, but vows that the war isn't over. Take care, you two. May the Force be with you.

With the battle won, the Autobots, NEST, Sam and his friends return to the USA on board an aircraft carrier. Upon his return, Sam continues to attend college, while Optimus Prime sends another message detailing recent events, so the shared past of Humanity and the Autobots will not be forgotten as it was before. Quotes 'Gotta wonder. If God made us in his image, who made him?' — Epps, as Galloway first witnesses Optimus's transformation. 'We've shed blood, sweat, and precious metal together.'

'Soldier, you're paid to shoot, not talk.' [muttering] 'Don't tempt me.' — Epps is not really happy with Galloway's plan to get rid of the Autobots. 'So let me ask: If we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave peacefully?' 'Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it.

But before your President decides, please ask him this: What if we leave, and you're wrong?' — Galloway makes the U.S. Government's position on the Autobot refugees clear, while Optimus Prime counters with a pointed argument of his own 'No, uh, it's just this friend of mine went to get you a tighter shirt.' 'There isn't a! — Sam tries to deflect a pair of frat boys 'Sam, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.' — Optimus Prime, trying to convince Sam Witwicky to become involved in the conflict once again 'I know you’re pissed.

I know you’re pissed because I tried to kill you and it's completely understandable. If somebody tried to kill me, I’d be upset, too.' — Sam Witwicky tries to relate with Megatron, to no avail. 'Is the survival of our race not worth a single human life?'

'You'll never stop at one. [Unsheathes his left blade] I'll take you all on!' — Megatron tries to justify killing Sam, but Optimus Prime disapproves based on the potato chip theory. The most epic beatdown of the film ensues. Sam: 'These symbols gotta mean something.

Like a message. A map to an energon source. Can you guys read this?' Skids: ' Read?' Mudflap: 'Nu-uh, w-no. We don't really do much reading.'

—Literacy with Skids and Mudflap. — Simmons demands more coherent exposition from Jetfire. 'One man, alone.' 'Stop saying that!' '.Betrayed by the country he loves.' 'Oh, my goodness, I'm in the car with you. You're not alone!'

— Simmons being, well, himself, much to Leo Spitz's distress. 'Now I claim your sun!'

— The Fallen does the standard 'I claim victory before I have actually won' bit. 'You picked the wrong planet! Give me your face!'

— Optimus Prime warns The Fallen of his violent fetish. 'Not to call you a coward, master, but, sometimes, cowards do survive.' — Starscream pitches his usual battle plan to an unusually receptive Megatron. 'Our races united by a history long forgotten and a future we shall face together. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message so that our pasts will always be remembered. For in those memories, we live on.'

• Despite the minor cosmetic changes to his Camaro vehicle mode (i.e. New car prop) and the corresponding changes to his robot mode (i.e. Modified CG model), Bumblebee still sports the same license plate s as in the previous film. That is, his license plate is still inconsistent between both modes, alternating between '900 STRA' in vehicle mode and '4NZZ454' in robot mode. • Similarly, despite still sporting his license plate from the previous movie, '4PCI382', on his robot mode chest, Ironhide no longer has a license plate in vehicle mode. • When Sam jumps from the second story of his house to escape the kitchen robots, a stuntperson who does not look much like Shia LaBeouf performs the stunt.

He then takes him to a graveyard where it's dawn.

In real life, the graveyard is located in, while the frat party is set a hundred miles north, in Princeton. Still, even in traffic, the trip wouldn't take all night. • During Sam's campus freak-out, when he drops his notes on the steps, a blonde woman in a suit can be seen coming down the steps to his left, nearly reaching him. However, when the camera angle shifts, the woman is suddenly at the top of the stairs again.

• When the Autobots are driving to Sam's college shortly before the Decepticons attack him, Arcee is completely absent from the group, while previously-unseen Jolt shows up in one shot in front of the others, then when the camera angle changes, he disappears. • In the flyover shot of the barge on which the four Constructicons sit, a red bulldozer, a concrete mixer, a green dump truck and a yellow front-end loader are visible.

After the flyover shot, the yellow loader disappears and is replaced with a yellow Volvo excavator. • During the North Atlantic sequence, on the submarine 's sonar, there are 'five contacts' diving down to Megatron's body's location, and 'six contacts' coming up after his resurrection. Although this is dramatic, since was killed to repair Megatron, shouldn't there be only five contacts going up as well?

In the next shot, he has his jacket on his arm. • Once again, the drone is referred to as the more well-known. The drone is powered by a propeller, which can be seen when the (real) drone takes off.

However, due to the usage of footage from the 2007 Transformers movie, when the (CGI) drone approaches the battlefield, the propeller is absent, replaced by a jet engine (which would be consistent with a third related drone, the ). Also unfortunate is the fact the real drone with the propeller is white, while the CGI drone is black. • Ravage tears off Bumblebee's back kibble.

Story / continuity errors • Most of the and soldiers are seen using small-calibre arms such as assault rifles, machine guns, and sniper rifles against the Decepticons, despite the previous film establishing very clearly that such weapons were useless against Cybertronians, and that 'high-heat' sabot rounds were the only Human weapons capable of penetrating Decepticon armour.

Even if they somehow figured out how to make small calibre ammunition achieve the 'high heat' required to damage Decepticon armour, it is extremely unlikely that such low-powered weapons would do any meaningful damage that warrants such widespread usage. After all, in real life, you can't kill a tank with a machine gun. Well, unless you're in.

The novelization of the film attributes this to Mikaela's Epic Hotness distracting the guard into just letting her through; she also claims that the box contains expensive mechanic's tools which might look strange in an x-ray. Neither explanation is present in the film itself, however. • When Alice attacks Sam and his friends, the box Wheelie is imprisoned within is taken along, and the box is not seen when Mikaela and Leo escape from the foundry in Bumblebee. The box should still be inside the wreckage of the car Mikaela hotwired at the college, but Wheelie nonetheless continues to appear in the film, despite there being no indication that anyone returned to the foundry after the battle.

• Given that the Autobots are part of NEST, and are dependent on the US Air Force for transportation around the world, it is not clear why Major Lennox had to be alerted to the fact that the Autobots were on the east coast of the United States.

So why doesn't he simply get in one of them and drive all the way to Lennox's team instead of running? • There's no rational reason for Simmons to climb the pyramid after Devastator. Download Free Regseeker Rapidshare Downloads. It looks like he's enabling the Navy ship to 'fire on his position', which is useful when the firer can't see the target. However, as we find out just before the railgun is fired, the ship can see the pyramid.

(And railguns are line-of-sight weapons, anyway.) So, Simmons didn't need to climb; he could have stayed someplace safe, called the ship, and told them, 'Take a look at the pyramid, and shoot the giant robot tearing it up.' It's also hard to believe he wasn't crushed by the flood of pyramid stones, which at one point are raining down on all four sides of the structure. Geographic discontinuities. The on-film splicing together of disparate filming locations is a common movie phenomena; however, we wouldn't be good pedants if we didn't point out a few of the more glaring disconnects.

• The 'industrial district' is. Interesting, to say the least.

There's a company sign that translates as 'Empire Import and Export' (which would be the Chinese equivalent of a US company named 'Soviet Import and Export') right next to a huge ironworks, dozens of people not even remotely dressed like workers are being evacuated.

Given the great distance between and the United States, the short time it took them to arrive is implausible. • drops the car with, and inside into a factory just outside a huge city. Yet when and rescue them and flee, they almost immediately reach a huge forest that was nowhere to be seen in the aerial shot of the factory. • In the basement of Simmons' deli, in New York City, Wheelie projects laser dots onto a map of the United States to indicate where the Seekers are located.

One dot hovers over Syracuse, New York. Another hovers over Trenton, New Jersey. Yet Simmons inexplicably says the closest one is in Washington. • There is no dot over Washington. • When Jetfire is activated at the (actually the, an annex of the Smithsonian) in Washington, he leaves the exhibition center and exits into the desert location of the (aka 'the Boneyard'), which is in Tucson, Arizona.

When Jetfire breaks out of the building, we can see a composited image of the Boneyard's rows of planes, so it's arguable that in this universe, the middle of Washington DC happens to be a desert full of old planes, and no buildings and. You get the point. Michael Bay actually admits this to be a deliberate choice in his audio commentary for the movie, and suggests that 'most people in Taiwan' would probably never notice the error. The foreshortening is amazing. • The movie gives the impression that Giza in Egypt and Petra in Jordan are in close proximity to each other — within eyeshot, even. In reality, the two locations are about 416 kilometres (258 miles) apart.

What makes this even more problematic is the fact that Egypt and Jordan don't share a common border — the country of Israel is in-between them, whose existence isn't even mentioned in the movie. At one point, Simmons displays a map of the Gulf of Aqaba (aka 'the Dagger's Tip') - on which Egypt and Jordan are labeled in English, but Israel is not. • Optimus, Megatron, Starscream and The Fallen take their fight from the Pyramids of Giza to the Temple of Luxor, which are more than 300 miles away.

• Considering both the Pyramids and the temple are famous tourist attractions, they’re both pretty devoid of, y’know, tourists. • Furthermore, the movie gives the impression that the Pyramids of Giza are located near the coast — the soldiers and tanks deployed from hovercraft arrive at the battle site almost immediately. In reality, the closest sea shore, the tip of the Red Sea, is still over 70 miles away from the Pyramids. Worse, when the is fired, a monitor screen on board the U.S.S. Kidd shows footage of the pyramids with the ocean in the foreground, making it appear like they're no more than a mile or two away from the shore.

Worse still, this is immediately followed by a shot of the pyramids that shows nothing but desert in the direction the rail gun shot is coming from. Transformers references In addition to carryovers from the previous film, various concepts and characters are derived from previous iterations of Transformers: • The whole concept of 'Transformers disguised as a human' used for is inspired by the.

Roberto Orci even used the term 'Pretender' during an interview before the movie's release. However, a Transformer with an 'organic' alt-mode instead of an external shell is a concept more reminiscent of the. • The Generation 1 iteration of is frequently portrayed as switching from Decepticon to Autobot (he's usually a young and technologically up-to-the-minute 'bot, however.) • and his ejectible minion both have.

The idea of Arcee the pink girlbot as a motorcycle dates back to.

• The same is true for Sam having Cybertronian knowledge pumped directly into his brain via a sacred Transformer talisman, which is reminiscent of 's similar situation in the G1 comics. • A newspaper is sucked into Devastator that headlines a photograph and accompanying article about a mysterious appearance. • When Mudflap and Skids first appear in their Ice-Cream Wagon disguise, they play the Transformers in a very 'ice-creamish' way. • Though possibly unintentional, when the Fallen takes the Matrix and uses it to power up the Star Harvester, Megatron utters • Jetfire isn't the only to call Earth. Other editions • A slightly longer edit was shown in IMAX theaters, which featured some brief additional scenes filmed with special IMAX cameras.

• It has been suggested that some international versions of the movie had the words 'suck my' in the 'Decepticons suck my popsicle' slogan on and ice cream truck mode blanked out, hence only reading as '(Decepticon logo) [blank space] popsicle'. This was not done across the board, however–theaters in those very same countries also showed uncensored versions of the movie. Another explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words 'suck my' (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of 'censorship' behind it. Prequel material Titan movie comics While the Decepticons were disgusted with the pro-Autobot propaganda of Bay's first documentary, they were quite optimistic about the second film.

Took a strong interest in it, going to the trouble of personally convincing to be in the film. The Decepticons promised this new documentary would show a glorious Decepticon victory —whether it was in the script or not. Shockingly, even they were under a non-disclosure agreement regarding the script; Starscream fearfully referred to a greater power keeping him quiet. Talking about it could even undermine the Decepticon war effort! In the same week the film came out, the Decepticons suddenly became unhappy with it and the detente period ended. Bay, Kurtzman, and Orci are once again marked for extermination for their propaganda films. IDW Transformers movie comics.

You left a piece out! This article is a and is missing information. You can help Transformers Wiki. Titan Comics Revenge of the Fallen movie comics The sinister, unseen figure of the Fallen is secretly gathering a Decepticon army on Cybertron.

Skids and Mudflap, slacking off there at the time, accidentally discover this and flee to Earth to warn the other Autobots. An attempt to kill them fails, but due to their rep of telling tall tales, no one believes them. It doesn't help when they accidentally help Grindor escape capture. The Fallen's agent Soundwave decides to use this, and first frames the twins as turncoats, then has them freed by their 'Decepticon allies' so they'll be hunted down. After a few days of this, the twins began to regret ever getting involved, and Soundwave offered them sanctuary in the Decepticon army and the embrace of the Fallen: an offer they were eager to accept. I'll take some of the criticism. They're [the Twins] basically gone.

Michael Bay,,, 2010 Revenge of the Fallen had its world premiere on, 2009, in Tokyo, Japan. Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Isabel Lucas and Ramon Rodriguez attended. Other countries such as South Korea, the United Kingdom and Germany followed over the course of the next few days. The United States premiere was held on, 2009, in Westwood, California, during the for the second time. In the week leading up to the United States release, while the film had been released in Japan and the United Kingdom, Revenge of the Fallen was ranking 38% fresh on.

As American reviews were added into the ranking on June 24, the movie's freshness slipped slowly to 22%. The movie was primarily criticized for its unbecoming portrayal of females, blacks and dwarfism, but it was beaten for its monotonous action, aggressively unfunny entendres, Devastator's wrecking testes, Shia LaBeouf himself, and the noise. These factors helped to destroy Bay's reputation even further than.

RottenTomatoes.com's consensus was that ' Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.' Roger Ebert, who had given the first Transformers film three stars, gave Revenge one star, and remarked that '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.' Todd Gilchrist of Cinematical.com said Michael Bay 'has exceeded even the possibilities of sequel-driven 'moreness,' combining his own muscular, high-gloss sensibility with the conventions of blockbusters past, present, and probably future to create a monolithic action masterpiece that feels destined to be the biggest movie of all time.' Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune said 'the first, comparatively lucid Transformers was a headache, but I sort of enjoyed it. Revenge of the Fallen is more like listening to rocks in a clothes dryer for 2½ hours.' Roger Ebert went back for more in a second article, declaring not only that Revenge of the Fallen was awful, but that it'd.

In the face of many harsh responses to his own critique, Mr. Ebert went back a third time, not just deconstructing the film but also declaring that fans who claimed to perceive it as 'great' were simply wrong. Despite the overwhelmingly negative reviews, Revenge of the Fallen poised itself quickly as a blockbuster maelstrom. It grossed $16 million in its opening midnight showings alone, an all-time record for Wednesday openings and a second-best for openings on any day of the week behind The Dark Knight. After the full Wednesday was over, Revenge of the Fallen had grossed $55 million in domestic ticket sales, surpassing the previous Wednesday release record, held by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by over $10 million.

By the end of the first five days, Revenge of the Fallen had taken an estimated $201.2 million in the United States, just shy of The Dark Knight's record $203.8 million 5-day US total. In the same period, international markets took in $186.1 million, bringing the 5-day worldwide total to $387.3 million. Paramount's U.S. Exit polling revealed several intriguing facts: While the 2007 Transformers movie viewership skewed 60-40% toward men over women, the split for the new film was more even at 54% male, 46% female.

More than 90% of those surveyed stated that Revenge of the Fallen was as good as or better than the first Transformers movie. Surprisingly, about 67% said the film was 'excellent', an even better score than for Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman's critically acclaimed 2009 Star Trek movie. After two weeks in most markets, Revenge continued to defy critics and dominate the U.S. Box office, narrowly defeating Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs on the Fourth of July weekend, finishing with upwards of $300 million in the U.S. And a similar figure in international markets. Ultimately, Revenge grossed more than $836 million worldwide (versus $708 million for ), including $402 million from US box offices alone (versus $319 million for the first movie).

On, Revenge sold 2 million copies of its DVD/Blu-Ray release in the first 24 hours. On April 3, 2010, Shia LaBeouf stated that he was confused about many things in Revenge of the Fallen and in fact, hated the movie. However, he noted that one of the major problems the film faced was working during the writer's strike without a script, and that he had faith that the third film would be an improvement. In a June 11, 2010 article about the third Transformers film, Bay and producer now said they'd taken onboard some of the criticism, and cited the writer's strike and the rushed production as a problem; Bonaventura said 'we tried to do too many things in the second movie, which didn't give enough time in any one of them'.

Bay also said he was getting rid of the 'dorky comedy', like the Twins, for the third film, and called the Fallen 'kind of a (expletive) character'. And later, in the April 2011 dated issue of Empire, Bay would again blame the strike and also cite the inclusion of 'mystical' plots as a flaw in the film. Awards and recognition On February 1, 2009 it was announced that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was nominated for seven.

It was awarded three of them, for Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay. This presumably represents an improvement from the 2007 film, which received only one nomination ( in the Supporting Actor category) and no wins. On February 2, 2009, it was announced that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was nominated for an for Sound Mixing. On March 7, it lost to The Hurt Locker.

Controversies • A huge flap revolved around the characters of the 'Twins', and. Many critics and viewers believed them to be racist stereotypes of poorly educated black American teenagers. Much evidence points to the pair actually being stereotypes of poorly educated white American teenagers, trying their best to sound like hardcore black urban gangsters.

Though it's still a racist stereotype of dubious taste. Director Michael Bay, when confronted with those accusations, claimed that the personalities of the two characters had been primarily created in the recording studio by voice actors and. Wilson (who is African-American himself) was sad to learn his way of speaking was apparently offensive to himself. Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci confirmed that this portrayal of the characters hadn't been in the script, and admitted that they could understand the controversy.

• At least one reviewer claimed to find a repellent 'anti-Arab subtext' to the movie's climactic scenes, which involved the damage or destruction of various Middle Eastern landmarks. The editors of this wiki are somewhat less than convinced. • Along the same lines, Chinese viewers reportedly criticized the depiction of Shanghai in the opening scene of the movie. Apparently, depicting an industrial area as 'very shabby' is an 'insult' to an entire country, as is the destruction of parts of the city during a battle between alien robots. Regardless, Revenge topped the box office in China, dethroning 1997's Titanic as the most successful movie of all times there. • Both professional critics and amateur bloggers noted that the film presents the administration as endangering Earth by being wussy, bureacratic, and ignoring the Brave Soldiers.

Some right-wing bloggers and critics were quite happy about this, natch. As Bay had added Obama's name and image to the film as a tribute to the President, after the two of them met and had a mutually-complimentary conversation, and the writers are known Democrats, the implications are probably unintentional and meant to be a rather than a deliberate dig. • The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, a lobbyist group that already complained about the, is currently trying to lobby the Federal Communications Commission into tightening regulations for marketing movies rated 'PG-13' and associated merchandise to children.

The basic reasoning behind their complaints is that Revenge contains 'intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor, and language' and 'would have been rated R fifteen years ago', and yet Hasbro's are advertised during TV programs aimed at children. Hasbro themselves appear to be still undecided about their official position regarding the more 'mature' tone of the movies and its ramifications for the public image, having left several questions to this effect unanswered.
