IGN UK and Total Film (a UK film magazine) have both posted their reviews of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Both reviews are relatively spoiler free, and don’t revealed anything outside of what was shown in the trailers, but you have been WARNED!
IGN UK gave the film 3/5 on their star rating, praising the films action sequences and that the editing has made following which bot is which a lot easier when compared to the first film. They mainly felt that certain set pieces went on for too long, with the film needing to be closer to the 2 hour mark.
Total Film have given the film 4/5 stars, the same rating as the first film. They say the film is very entertaining, infact going on to say it’s more fun than Terminator Salvation, but again suffers from too much Bayhem, exemplified by the following quote:
Nor does his inability to keep his camera still or go two minutes without blowing shit up help, the hyperactivity reaching its nadir during a drawn-out climax in the Egyptian desert.
UPDATE: And another one is out, from Shiznit, who have given the film 4/5, and give an overly positive review.
UPDATE 2: ScifiNow have put up their review, which is overly harsh with a 2/5 score.
As if the first film wasn’t enough. If this crap is a hit it will just further prove the slow degradation of todays society.

I dont see at all how ScifiNow’s review was harsh. He said the story was weak, weak characters, and over long. Those are pretty valid complaints.
