One of the best fights in Transformers.

The CGI on these is absolutely timeless. This has been said countless times before, but it REALLY deserves to get nailed down. The work these guys put in is absolutely insane. To this day, this still looks better than most of current movies' VFX

[Eva-jyqupur]

Transformers 2 legit had the best fight scenes in the entire movie franchise

[PieroMinayaRojas]

"It's sad that Steve Jobs died of ligma"
"Who the hell is Steve Jobs"
"Ligma balls" 3:09

The CGI in these movies were absolutely amazing. I wish a lot of the movies that have come out in recent years have this type of CGI

[Malysitos]

While Bay might be lacking in the writing department, he is usually never lacking in the VFX department.

Seriously, while he may be bad at writing, he _knows_ how to film and will pull all the stops to make every effect look like a spectacle, whether that be using practical effects or taking VFX teams like Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to their absolute limits.

Bayversere always cooked with the CGI/Vfx

[artofsam]

One thing I noticed that made the cgi of the mid to late 2000s so much better than some of the stuff we see today is that they had those original plates of shot footage even if it’s just a blank environment with no actors they were still capturing real locations, real cars being flipped and crushed, real pyrotechnics all in that plate captured on beautiful IMAX. What this does is it forces the vfx team to adhere and respect the footage by matching and compositing the effects into the scene that’s been shot to create a very realistic and believable effect. The problem we have today is many big budget movies with tons of vfx not only have more vfx shots to make in quantity but more time is wasted on unnecessary last minute changes and nearly everything in some scenes is 100% cg which creates a higher sense of artificiality also often called “the uncanny valley” which is the feeling that something isn’t quite right even if it looks very good we know something is amiss.

Transformers: ROTF is the most underrated in the entire series.

[AlloArtz]

Best fight scene in the whole bayverse series, I will die by that statement

[yeetbro]

I was literally searching for a video like this yesterday

[eliasgreyson]

This was the second movie to use 70mm imax film cameras for a motion picture. It was so difficult to film with, it turned Michael Bay off using it for any other movies. Rendering the effects in 4k was very time consuming difficult he said

[rclaimr]

Critics hated this film, but my wife and I loved it. The action was over the top.

[tranklan_]

''agile martial arts experts'' something that rise of the beasts did not understand, optimus in that movie didnt feel like he knew how to fight like he did in the bumblebee movie or even the bay films, still enjoy all the movies none the less

[descendant]

I would dare say this is the greatest CGI fight scene of all time. but as for one of the best in the series I still get hung up on optimus' rage scene in dotm where he just goes 1 v all wether that is better than this.

[pricemoore]

Awesomeness and the forest battle is my favorite Transformers

[hob_channel]

This is proof to all the haters that Bay cares about his movies

[xhillwontmiss]

0:43 Optimus's original death feels a lot more brutal

[Erickonofre]

For those who wanted to see revenge of the fallen on DVD/Blu-ray just for the forest battle, I would highly recommend getting the "big screen edition", trust me when I say this, it is slightly better than the original. 🙂
