  • FREAKING CRITICS!

  • this guy clearly has no bar as to how he rates movies he gave watchmen the same score

  • its a high-budget, bad movie, nuff said

  • whaaat ? but its sucha good movie! (its not!, it sucks.)

  • I stopped watching after 20 mins. The editing was headache inducing!!

  • This movie isn't even bad get over it, I would give it 3 stars well that's my opinion at least

  • @DevinX5000 you need to learn what a good movie is

  • Comment removed

  • He gave Wall-E 4 stars

  • his ratings -----*********perfect********

  • Ummmm..........anybody know of a movie this guy rates over three? cus I fail to find one.

  • UP(2009) ----- 4 stars

  • Yeah he gave a few 3.5's. He gave those to movies like "No Country For Old Men"

  • @crazyskiier0023 Dark Knight

  • I'm pretty shocked to see you think Harry Potter 6 is better than ROTF. Can you atleast say that ROTF is better than Dragonball Evolution?

  • and that's the amount of intelligence I would expect from someone who liked this movie.

  • if it were under 1 hr and 30 mins, i would have like this movie. but the film feels like4 hrs and the first movie feels like a whole lot shorter.

  • WOW! He give it 1 1/2 stars. Thats being nice. Really nice.

  • @helper35

    I think I might actually hate this movie more than 'North'

    And North is a pile of shit

  • sucked badly

  • a very loud under plotted movie

  • I know people are gonna bust my chops for this but I thought the movie was okay, not perfect at all, and certainly not the best movie this summer (I personally think Star Trek shits all over this) but I was able to sit through it without cringeing, it was decent. So before everybody unleashes a shitstorm upon my head, just know there will always be people who will like it and obviously some who won't. I thought it was all right.

  • I may not be able to agree with you on the movie, but it's nice to see you are able to write a normal comment of your opinion. Unlike most YouTube comments (that look something like this: "fuck you!! Transformers 2 was awesome!!!"), you're explaining why you liked it and you're willing to admit that the movie isn't perfect. I'll spare you the shitstorm ;-)

  • LOL, Thanks Man! I know what you mean though, I mostly did that comment because of how everyone ripped it to shreads and I thought of how most people jumped on to that band wagon, its kind of ridiculous, the movie wasn't perfect but it also isn't the worst, and for those of you who disagree, please, watch Year One, now that is a piece of shit!

  • You're right about that.. Year One was terrible. I don't know what they were thinking when they made it. Transformers 2 wasn't the worst, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

  • Yep, Year One was terrible, Harold Ramis reached a new low with that one. And I will admit Transformers 2 all in all was very meh for me. Its no Star Trek or Iron Man, thats for sure, hell the first movie was better. But the action was good, but I think what ruined it for most people was purely the humor in it. I thought it was terrible as well, but for me, it didn't ruin the movie, the movie was simply dumb-fun. So I'd give it a 6/10 or so, it was decent but Transformers 3 needs to be better.

  • Oh yeah, I really like the first Transformers. It may not be that that clever and some of the humor was kind of dumb, but other times the humor actually worked really well. The humor in Transformers 2 and the length (2 and a half hours) is pretty much what ruined it for me, but I can understand that you just went along for the ride.

    By the way, I also saw Star Trek and Iron Man and they are great!

  • it was one heaping pile of shit why did sam die and go to robot heven?

  • @mute754 It wasn't robot heaven, he died and went inside the Matrix where me met the Primes.Go to IMDB.com and look at the FAQs

  • 100% agree. I was literally praying for the projector to bust so I could get out of there.

  • This movie was terrible. So glad I didn't waste my money on it.

  • I admit I haven't seen this but it looks fucking horrible. I think we need to be knocked back a few years to when we knew how to properly use CGI, if at all. Think about it. Jurassic Park: lots of CGI but used well and model dinosaurs used when possible. Transformers 2: Looks like the god of CGI jizzed allover the screen.

  • Worst of the year so far

  • yeah, this movie was quite, quite awful.

  • i agree this movie was shit

  • this movie doesnt even deserve half a star

  • Michael Phillips is right, Transformers 2 SUCKS!! You have no taste in movies if you like this shit better than Harry Potter.

  • i agree

  • That's because Harry Potter was the better film. I saw both of them on the same day.

  • I disagree with your review here Michael. While I enjoy and agree with most of your reviews. I just find the one you did here plain wrong. You shouldn't expect a sci-fi movie based on Transforming vehicles a grammy esque film. This movie entertained me more than any other movie this year. That was the films purpose. I do understand though that the film had plot holes and too much crude humor but the explosions drowned it out. I'd give it a 4/5

  • I actually think this guy is a reliable voice for the people when it comes to movie critics, but I disagree with this review.

    I thought the acting in particular was exactly what it needed to be. Not fantastic by any means, but energetic and it kept the action moving. I had a good time at the movie.

  • why do people be hating on this movie it was the best movie of 2009 is it me or that guy was on crack

  • what an ass!!

  • I bet Michael Phils gives 5 stars to every gay porn movie he sees. What did he expected a drama?! Titanick 2? This movie is supose to be entertaining and it is, alot.

  • Your comment is pure comic gold.

  • It doesn't matter what he expected, you fucking idiot. I saw the trailer for Disaster Movie and thought: This movie is gonna suck ass! Well, Disaster Movie turned out to suck ass. Should I give it a high rating because it was exactly what I was expecting? NO!! Your comment makes no sense! The story of Transformers 2 didn't need to be deep, but it should be easy to keep up with. This movie has some of the lowest and crudest attempts at humor and it's WAY too long. I would give it a 1/4.

  • movie reviewers need to get off their freaking high horses. did they go in there expecting the titanic???

  • you dont go see tranformers for a fuckin plot its giant robots beating the shit out of each other quit bein so fucking hyper-critical

  • Absolutely, I agree. This movie was painful. I LOVE transformers. Grew up with transformers. Thought the first movie was passable, but not bad. Needed a little more of the human touch, although the bots were cool, and the script was decent.

    This movie had no script, I think they just threw it in the garbage, bigger robots, more destruction, and Megan's butt. Perfect for 14 year olds, but not good enough for the original transformer fans.

  • IT WAS AWESOME FUCK U

  • yea I can't belive people hated it so much.

  • i KNOW

  • I don't get this asshole the movie was FINE!

  • go to hell

  • I liked it

  • the movie fucking sucked.

  • 1½ stars. Are you kidding me?

  • Childish stuff !

  • The only reason I heard him say that he gave it 1 1/2 stars is because it was loud.

  • lol he struggled saying "thousands"

  • This movie sucked. No question about it. Spot on, Michael Phillips!

  • UR CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!! sorry

  • this movie was NOT horrible. If you liked the first, you will like the second. Honestly, the first movie was better plot wise, while the second was far more better with the viewing of the robots.

    If someone who was a great director with making a plot, and who could make kick ass action scenes made this movie. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FUCKING MAZING.

  • best action movie ever!!!!

  • Hells yah, this movie was horrible. The first one was good, not great. This one just sucked. Waste of money, time, and sadly it made enough money for Michael Bay to do another. Awesome review, agree 100% on anything and everything Michael Phillips said about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

  • this was a cool movie with good action scenes and funny parts but it was way too longt and felt like they were trying too hard to make it epic that it just ended up boring and predictable at times but I did enjoy it overall and a pretty good sequel at that

  • Look, all Michael Bay is good at is a lot of special effects and a little comic relief. But that doesn't mean it was a bad movie! All I wanted when I saw it was the action scenes.

  • then you wanted a bad movie

  • The movie was sick. If u didnt see the first one u cant understand it. And if u like action movies theres no way u can hate this.

  • i would rate this movie a 6.5 out of 10

  • lmfao epic review.

    star wars is amazing. transformers is not.

  • I think Public Enemies will be a lot better than this.

  • Well done MP, 1 star more than i gave it!!!!

    Sucked giant robot balls!!!!!!!

  • 3 out of 4 because this movie is supposed to be a summer block buster with lots of action and hot girls and they did it perfectly!!!!!!

  • The critics expect a lot more based on the first movie and their shitty expectations. I would say 2.5 out of 4.

  • this movie was awesome. you should get 1 a star for your terrible rating of s great movie. i bet you probable think star wars suck also man you SUCK.

  • What the fuck is this guys problem?

    This was a great movie.

  • Movie was shit

  • 1 and a half?....haha typical review from a miserable old fuck.... i mean... i get what hes saying but one and a half stars? thats a little harsh.. i personally thought it was sick...i guess it was just his opinion

  • Well I liked the movie too but only because I am a fan. If you're not an action/transformers fan then yeah you aren't gonna like it. Almost every review I've read is giving it one star xP

  • wow buddy, you need a new job cause your review sucked. It was a great fucking movie.

  • That was an awsome movie. It's my favorite right now. Its a 5 star.

  • this movie is awesome its action packed and funny i dunno why anyone would hate it like that daaammnnn

  • I know, it was cool. I don't care for critics like him, their usually wrong (Watch his Watchmen "Review", the worst review on YouTube.)

  • Too tell you the truth, it ain't the worst review on youtube. See Irategamers review for ''X-men origins: Wolverine''. I respect you in what you said, but I'm just giving you a quick tip. :)

  • Oh wait I remember that one, Irate Gamer has a wierd movie rating mentality. I agree, though thier both terrible reviews.

  • 1 STAR

  • I knew coming in to this movie that it wasn't gonna be a masterpiece, and to my surprise, it wasn't. But that doesn't mean it sucked. Infact, if your seeing this expecting just a fun, dumb, action film, with great CGI, plenty of explosions that only Micheal Bay can dish out, then you won't be dissapointed. Overall, decent film, just don't expect "The Dark Knight" quality from this.

  • Comment removed

  • that movie is genious IT ROCKS

  • This movie rocked if you saw it for what it is. I personally loved it. Was really entertaining and the special effects and fights were top notch.

  • and to think fuckin jawsus gave this friggin 1 star

  • That shows how much his review sucks lol

  • lol

  • I do my ratings out of 10 and gave it 3 out of 10 so our thoughts were pretty similar.

  • I actually enjoyed this movie! And I can see why Michael Phillips thought it was liud. I saw the IMAX version of the movie and it was DEFINITELY loud. :D

  • Great review mister Phillips. I think this one was one of your most complex, because you really had fun bashing it. I really don't know in what category to put it: action-exploitation, explosions-exploitation, sex-exploitation ( Megan Foxy) or just CGI-exploitation. the conclusion the plot of the movie was transforming allover the movie and I can't believe John Turturro who played in Miller's Crossing played this crap for the big pay check. Well it is an economic crisis. Glad Bay has his money.

  • I might see this as a rental or matinee, but my thoughts are going more to rental.
