Every Michael Bay Movie Ranked Worst To Best

14. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

The first of Bay's live-action Transformers sequels takes all the good parts of its predecessor and throws them out the window. Running for two and a half hours, Revenge of the Fallen is the most poorly plotted and inexcusable part of Bay's entire filmography.

Returning lead actors Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel may as well not be there, the film too focused on special effects and making as much senseless action sequences as possible. With no characters able to give the film any heart and crude, off-base humour thrown in for good measure, Revenge only has some so-so voice performances from Hugo Weaving and Peter Cullen to keep it afloat.

But it turns out that's not nearly enough.

Wild, noisy, pointless and without any emotional weight or tension, the film ends up running like a amateur filmmaker's finished product after they're given enough money to make a blockbuster.

The effects are impressive, and perhaps the film's only saving grace. At least, that's the case for the first ten minutes. After that, it's a shambolic onslaught of CGI and fire, with little comprehension for the subject matter or the characters brought to life in the first film.
