What was the worst movie of the year? What was the year's best
action movie? Based on Moviefone's poll, which received 238,000 votes,
the answer to both of those questions was the same—Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Who
was the year's sexiest female star? Which actress gave the worst
performance? If you guessed that the winner in both of those categories
was also the same, you'd be right. Transformers 2 star Megan Fox proved to be as divisive as her film, which somehow grossed $834 million in worldwide ticket sales even so.

Since the recent announcement that Wal*Mart have the exclusive rights to release the iMax version of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen on Blu-Ray and DVD and news that Nelson, admin of Michael Bay's website would be selling the DVD to international sellers which excluded certain countries including the UK, we have been in contact with ASDA to try to confirm which version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen they would be releasing within the UK. ASDA are, of course, owned by Wal*Mart. After some confusion their support staff told me that "The version that we are selling is the same version as the wall mart one" (yes with that typo). What this means is that UK fans that wish to own the full cut of Revenge of the Fallen should make sure that they pick up a copy of the film from ASDA.
The BBC have been busy rating the DVD and Blu-Ray content for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen as well as the next edition of Transformers Animated.

In a BIG gesture to international fans Nelson, admin of Michael Bay's website and forum, is selling the Walmart exclusive release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to International Transformers fans! However you can only order a copy if you live within one of the following countries:-
Residents of other countries, which includes the United Kingdom are not able to take up this offer.
UK fans will probably ask why. Why are they being excluded when Ireland is being included within the list? Well the answer is probably a simple one ... Walmart owns ASDA, therefore the DVD is likely to be released within the UK, at some-point as an ASDA exclusive. However we have been, as yet, unable to have this officially confirmed by either ASDA or Paramount Pictures but we are working on it.
TFW2005.com board member bla has posted an image of a new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen legends class multi-pack giftset which he spotted in Toy Kingdom in the Philippines. The set is dubbed War For the Skies and contains four repaints of existing Legends
