I liked it a lot, despite what the critics have been saying. Currently it holds a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes and only one star out of four by Roger Ebert, but I still thought the movie was incredible and action-packed throughout, despite being a bit of a film critic myself (I rarely ever disagree with professional film critics). I even thought this was better than the first one, because it was a thrill ride throughout.

To date I've seen the movie twice in theaters, the first time in IMAX and the second time today, and I really want to see it a third time. I would like to know, did you all like it? A lot of people have agreed with my opinion, so I would like to know what OT has to say.

Nah I did not. Would have been more productive to flush down the 5 euros I spent on the ticket down the toilet.

It was good. It was supposed to be a summer blocbuster and it was.

I wouldn't mind going to see it again, don't know why everyone is bashing on it as much as they are. Thought it was a great action movie.

I thought it was much better than the original as it had a little more focus on both story and in the action. But eh, they only two movies I didn't like were Dragon Wars (my dad and I were bored) and The Incredible Hulk (the first one, the second one was great)

Yes! ... people keep criticizing it, but to be fair its very entertaining, I wasn't bored throughout the whole two and a half hours of it, ok so the story was weak and felt thrown together but it is still an amazing film, well worth watching.

BUMBLE BEEEEE!!!!! Optimus Prime SPARTA KICK!!!!!! Yep I enjoyed the movie. I honestly don't care in the slightest that it's a mindless action flick. That's pretty much what I wanted.

I loved the movie, i have no idea why critics are bashing it (obviously no one listens since it is grossing so much at the box office). I think it is just as good if not better then the original. While the plot isn't as solid as the first one (it's transformers, solid plots aren't exactly the point of the franchise), the action and special effects were amazing.

It was enjoyable, but I liked the first one better. The action was impressive, but it was really long, I got INCREDIBLY sick of Megan Fox being a slut and a bad actress, and it was just kind of dull...plus they were in Egypt for far too long.

Criticisms:

There were too many robots on the screen.The action looked like someone was just smashing together peices of scrap metal.

Too much focus on Megan Fox, she's hot but the movies Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen not Megan Fox: Revenge of the Fallen. Every scene with her was either slow motion or of her and her bouncing boobs, let me reiterate, it's great to watch but looks like very cheap fan service on Michael Bays part to make up for the faults of the movie. Kinda reminded me of Soul Calibur IV and how they made Ivy's bust jump to a 36DDD... it just makes the producers look desperate.

The twin robots were stupid and a cheap attempt at using black stereotypes to bring a not so funny comic relief to the serious parts of the movie. In the first one all comic relief was brought by Sam which was funny. In this one it was two Jive talking robots who looked and talked like JJ from goodtimes and made a poor attempt at comedy while shamelessly making the assertion that black stereotypes are funny.

The plot seemed plausible if you didn't question it. But half way through the movie I stopped to think wait wtf? And realized that even for a transformers movie the plot was rediculously lame, stupid, and made no sense. Apparently the matrix was made to destroy the sun, bring a transformer back to life, and miraculously also bring a human back from the dead. Yea that makes alot of sense.

The treasure hunt subplot was stupid. They spend forever chasing around the world for the matrix only to find it's location and realize its not there until by some luck its behind a wall in the EXACT location written on a map (wow that on surprised me).

I apologize for going off on a rant. The thing that upset me about the movie was how it deviated so far from what made the first one epic in my opinion. And it tried too hard to please a younger audience with "Jive talking robots" and 50 different transformers to stay true to the first movie.

I overall liked it but it wasnt good or as memorable as the first. It wasnt as funny and charming and the egypt part wasnt that great of a climax, some of the characters were annoying, the twins and the big overlord guy was lame and it looked like michael bay kept wanting to show off megan fox and her sexiness for the sake of it. We already know shes hot for christ sakes.

I didn't like it very much. As a Tranformers fan and someone who liked the first movie I was expecting more. The action scenes and special effects were good, but some of the crap you have to put up with to get to those is unforgivable.

I loved the first Transformers movie but this one just seemed like it was trying to hard. The first one had more subtle touches of comedy that made it even funnier where this one was trying as hard as possible to get laughs. I also thought the last 5 minutes was kind of anti-climactic. Lastly, even though it really doesnt matter at all, I liked Optimus Prime's monologue at the end of the first movie better than the one he had at the end of Revenge of the Fallen.

Acting may have been kind of grimy here and there, but I liked it! The Transformers themselves seem to have a really interesting history, with The Primes and all that. The special effects were enough to sell me anyway.

The story would've been great if not for all the enormous plotholes, but it was good as an action movie.
