I just saw this movie again.
It was even better the second time. I give it a solid 8 out of 10.
VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!
Jetfire says his boosters aren't working or broken, which is why he doesn't fly. He does a test fire while saying it and they smoke and sputter.
Edit - He does haphazardly sputter into the final battle, there at the end...but, again, it looked very unstable and shitty.
Shortly thereafter, they use a Space Bridge to teleport.
And Jetfire DOES say "space bridge". He says it to the group, mainly Simmons, shortly after they "jump."
Transportation FULLY explained. 😄
Also, it IS explicitly stated that The Fallen is stronger than his brothers. It shows a short clip where they gang up on him, stab him with their spears, and quickly grab The Matrix and run. They then "hide" The Matrix in a tomb by sacrificing themselves to create a "hidden" and encased tomb. They use their "bodies" to encase the tomb and surround The Matrix.
Also, The Fallen was said to be the first Decepticon, betraying his Prime brothers.
Now why was he stronger? Me thinks that because he was the first decepticon, he also horded energon for himself. Remember in transformers where that decepticon "drank" a whole bunch of energon and his energy blasts were really powerful afterward? I assume that it's something like that. The Transformers were a benevolent artificial race that only harvested stars that had planets that didn't have organic life or could support organic life. It can be assumed that The Fallen's selfish actions remained hidden from the others for a while, or at least long enough for him to become stronger than the others.....unless........The Fallen was specifically created by Cybertron to be the strongest.
The Fallen definitely shows some uber powers such as massive telekinesis. In fact, his TK is on par if not GREATER than Phoenix's TK in the live action movie. SERIOUSLY. He picks up many tanks and military equipment, along with tons of rocks. Greater than Phoenix's feat in X-men III.
Anyway, the story is far more complex than some are giving it credit for. It most certainly is NOT mindless explosions and fun.

Yeah but the fallen sucks, dude. 🙂
I know some people - mainly a lot of critics - would view this as being as entertaining as a chainsaw orchestra. I can actually see their point of view. But as a Transformers fan, I have to say I was really entertained, and enjoyed the nods to past storylines mixed in the plot. Not as good as the first, because there is (even) more BOOM! & less wonder, but I have to say I liked it.

I'm a as a big fan as transformers as any one else. But I'm a child of the 80s. I grew up watching the cartoon. I read the comic book. I loved the original movie. I know everyone is going to disagree with me but, the Michael Bay movies do not live up to the 80s cartoon. They suck...actually I have to admit I found the first one watchable. However, I do not like the designs, they look like trash piled up. I do like the story lines. The dialog is cheesy, cliche' and dumb. Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz from atthemoviestv.com gave the best review.

Wow! I am a child of the 80's too, and i thought the first michael bay movie was fantastic. Just a question have you watched the 80's cartoons latley? I did a couple of weeks ago and they are lame now, i think the first 3 shows were ok but after that whoa! what did you want different in the movie? as for the 2nd movie that blew goats, i haven't been this disapointed in a movie in a long while. and i have to agree that ben lyons and ben mankiewicz did give a good review and it would have to be the shortest review too, cause the movie is such crap. People have to remember that a lot of the critics like the first one and now hate this one.

[b]I fail to see it how you're seeing it. All the things you've brought up about why it sucks, I don't see. I liked the acting, the plot and the action.There's really no significant faults. Surely none that would define it as "suck"

Significant then is a subjective term, it seems.
