    Rotten Tomatoes: You have failed me for the last time.

    Consensus: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.

    It's a movie about giant fucking robots from another planet. And it lacks a human touch.

    FOR FUCKS SAKE
