We’re taking a look at some of the lesser-known ways it managed that dubious feat. Revenge of the Fallen set the tone for how Transformers would be defined for a decade. The film managed to taint the entire franchise, cementing the Bay film’s as the public’s most recognized iteration of the robots in disguise, superseding such superior endeavors as the highly complex, award winning comics, or even the good humored, refreshingly simplistic delights of the Generation 1 cartoon. The movie wasn’t just unsuccessful from a narrative standpoint it indulged in lazy filmmaking and stoked controversy with such ease that it’s hard to believe it was entirely by accident. Weirdly, this critical assault really didn’t affect the film’s box office return immediately, as this year's Transformers: The Last Knight, the fifth entry in the franchise, was the first to disappoint at the box office.īut the seeds of that eventual decline were planted in Revenge of the Fallen. It boasts an abismal 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has a well earned reputation as the point at which the Transformersfilm series lost any semblance of narrative purpose, simply becoming a vehicle for director Michael Bay’s penchant for explosions and toilet humor.
