What Parents Need to Know
About Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Parents need to know that this sequel to 2007's Transformers is edgier and less kid-friendly than the first. Kids will want to see it because they're the ones who play with the toys the movie was inspired by, but it's packed with metal-on-metal mayhem and brutally violent action scenes that are too much for them. While most of the combatants are giant robots, the film's human characters are in constant peril, and the explosions never seem to stop. There are also eyebrow-raising amounts of sexualized and even racially insensitive material, as well as strong language (including one use of "f--k" and frequent uses of words like "bitch" and "p---y"). Plus, it's essentially a long commercial for both cars and toys.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's robot-on-robot violence. Are brutal dismemberments, stabbings, and shootings easier to take when they involve large metal robots instead of flesh-and-blood humans? Even when the robots talk, think, and "die" like people?
- Families can also talk about the consumerism side of things. What do kids make of the fact that this is a movie based on a line of toys? Is the movie's goal to sell more toys? If not, what is it?
- You can also bring up the movie's stereotyping -- including the robot "Twins," one of whom has a gold tooth and later explains that he can't decipher hieroglyphics because "We don't do much readin'." Are those kinds of caricatures funny or offensive? Why?
- And you can discuss whether the movie objectifies women. Why is more screen time devoted to the leading actresses' bodies than their characters? Why do male characters not get the same treatment?

There was too little clothing in this movie (Megan Fox= Not a good role model!!). It ruined it. I do think the graphics were well done. Overall; I loved it, I will probably watch it again, but a little more clothing would have made it a more respectable movie in my eyes.

Iffy for older teens, definitly not for kids.
I've seen this movie, and no one under the age of 14 should watch it, no matter what. It contains crude s**ual and h***s**ual content, and graphic robot violence. Not to mention, it has some very bad language. Not for kids.

Inappropriate, but BAD
Very BAD. The pacing was inconsistent and disastrous, the acting was mid-range, the plot wasn't cohesive, and there were surprising sight gags in there. Avoid as much as you can.

Talk about a massive disappointment. We saw the first TF movie on the big screen and own it in our home collection. When this one came out we were very excited to see what the Robots in Disguise were up to. While I realize the movie is rated PG-13 it is so heavily marketed to the kids who play with the toys. The sex and the language were such an offense to the fanbase. Really - who was this film intended for ? As an old-school TF fan, I didn't enjoy the film. As a parent, I squirmed my way through it. Sadly, my dollars will somehow reinforce that this is the sort of film that Hollywood should make when it comes time to talk about the third movie. Battling robots is one thing. Some sexualized fembot crawling all over the protagonist... Robots and humans dropping language bombs left and right... Really, Michael Bay - thanks for an uncomfortable evening.

A movie that is a waste of your time and money!!!
My wife and I have five kids from age 12 and under. This is a horrible movie. The language and the sexual content is not for young viewers. There are just to many hidden negative messages for young viewers. Granted I did not make it through the whole. The movie is just horrible from the start. And I couldn't waste anymore of my time. I'm grateful I previewed the movie before allowing my kids to see it.

Horrendously bad. Illogical. Waste of time and money.
This movie was horrendous and the director should be banned from ever working again. The sound mix began with FULL VOLUME METAL CLANKING and continued like that for two+ hours! Ugh! And the logic was nonexistant. Maybe once we might believe that some lucky kid could outrun a supersonic gang of robots. But a dozen times back to back? It was loud, ridiculous and a total waste of film. Bay is BAD!

good movie but not for little ones
hated it!!! I feel bad because both my 7 and 5 yr old boys want to see it but i am unable to do that due to the language that is used by the transformers themselves. The first movie they were good, but this one the autobots use more fowl language than the humans in the movie do.

More amazing and dazzling than it's predessor!
This sequel is so better than the predessor transformers. More images that will frighten children under 9. one of the main chacters dies in middle of movie. More senusal jokes and references in this one than the last. Plus more langage which makes this one more iffy than the last. Great sequel!

A disapointment!
It was so disapointing! Everything seemed to get killed including the greatest role model in the movie (which is Optimus Prime), the language was so strong I did not get through the whole movie, and the content was terrible too. The movie is terrible, skip it

Transformers: Revenge of Michael Bay
This movie is just terrible. I loved the first one, but this movie is just awful. The only reason I gave this two stars is because of the effects, which were impressive, but this wasn't enough to redeem this movie. There's too many explosions, cleavage and language, and the movie is just plain dumb. Save your money for something else.

Interesting comparison of human stupidity with alien wisdom; amazingly not for kids
Amazingly not for kids. The violence is rampant, and core to the movie's message. The computer graphics are kind of fun, and I personally found it amusing to watch our frail humanity depicted as small and stupidly compliant when compared to aliens who want to help us.
