I saw it last night and thought it was amazing.

 

 

 

I really don't see why there are so many bad critics...

 

The film was long, but it didn't bore me a single minute!

 

 

 

It had lots of action and some humour :P

 

 

 

[hide=Spoiler]Unlike the last movie, a lot more humans were killed.

 

And I found it awesome that RoboWarrior was agent Simmons :lol:

 

Though, I first thought it would be ?Glen? from the first movie.

 

 

 

Edit: I agree with Ratchet below. The drug-mom wasn't really needed.[/hide]

there's tons of plot holes and acting was horrible. the CGI made up for it though i guess.

 

 

 

The plot is hardly what you go for though.

 

 

 

You go to see CGI robots beating the [cabbage] out of each, and you get it. The plot comes in second (or third if you prefer Megan Fox to be second).

The plot is the reason I go to movies, but then again, that is what I go to school for.

 

 

 

Anywho, I was kinda disappointed in the movie. I really had wish that the movies would have followed somewhat better the 80's cartoon, but they are just pretty much taking scraps and making something out of it that they can sell toys for.

 

 

 

[hide=Spoilers]I did enjoy Jetfire and Optimus joining together, cause that did happen previously. Also the new SoundWave, as a satellite rather than a boom box, pretty much awesome. But yeah the plot of optimus being awesome, being dead for most of the movie, and then coming back stronger than ever is a typical transformers plot. What can you do...[/hide]

 

 

 

Oh well, a recent movie that was actually worth my money and time.

Does anyone else think that when viewed from a certain angle - Megan Fox looks like a transvestite ?

People have tried to describe the plot to me and it sounds [bleep]ing crazy.

The producers of Revenge of the Fallen would never try something so cheap as to cash in on Megan Fox... Oh wait...

 

 

 

Needs more lens flares.

Great movie I'd give it 4-4.5 the final part dragged pretty long when some of it could have been used for more robot fights through.

TOP TEN THINGS THAT SUCKED ABOUT TRANSFORMERS 2

 

Transformers 2 was not a bad movie, but it definately did not live up to the first one. It's story was shallow, it's acting was kind of missing, it's comedy was annoying and too in your face. So let's list ten things that sucked about it:

 

 

 

10: Comedy

 

The first movie had a dash of comedy as well, but this one was so full of it, it was unbearable. Sam's Mother ruined the first half of the show when she took weed and started going nuts. It wasn't funny, it added nothing to the story, and it made me inch closer to the door out. Also, the final scene shows a guy going underneath a transformer, and lo and behold it has balls dangling there by chains. It's not funny, it makes me want to leave.

 

 

 

9: Cussing

 

Cussing is fine in a movie, but this movie was full of it. I believe they said "[bleep]" once, but everyone else just said "F this" or "F that". "[cabbage]" was heard a couple times, as well as other words. It wasn't that unbearable, it just felt like it was coming from the nerdy white kid in class who wanted to be cool. It didn't belong, it was just there to sound cool I guess. And this is more a kids movie than anything, kids like Transformers, and that was the main demographic in the theater was kids below 16.

 

 

 

8: Here's Megan Fox's [wagon]

 

Megan Fox, in my opinion, is not that hot. Her face is...ew...she has a nice body but they seemed to shove it in your face. The first we get of her is of her, working on a motorcycle. But the camera decides, instead of a side view, to go for the [wagon]. She wears tight, revealing stuff most of the movie, and though that's not a bad thing, it feels like the director shoves it in your face.

 

 

 

7: We're Acting!

 

Shia Lebouf did not even try most of the time. His acting was kind of lame, wooden even. Megan Fox was alright, the Transformers voices have always sounded stupid to me. Overall though, there was barely enough acting to even recognize if they were doing really good or really bad:

 

 

 

6: Um...Where's The Actors

 

Most of the movie is made up of CG like we are playing some kind of video game. Characters sit against a wall, drinking a beer as the Transformers stand around or fight, and the actors sit on the sidelines.

 

 

 

5: Was That Necessary?

 

The sex scene between main character Sam and the blond woman was annoying, because it simply did not need to be there. If we are going to kill him, why would we do it with his penis in us? Why not just kill him and leave? You don't need all the stuff for horny fan boys. And of course, Megan Fox's character has to walk in during it and walk off.

 

 

 

4: First Action Scene It seemed to just be there to introduce us to characters or something, it never played a huge role in the story, and seemed to just be there for the hell of it. To show off the CG or something.

 

 

 

3: Shallow Story

 

The story was fairly shallow, fairly straightforward, and was never that awe inspiring. I never really cared about the story because I saw where it was going once he was getting the symbols in his head. "Oh, it's a map of some sort to where a transformer or something hides". Well look what I got right.

 

 

 

2: The Final Fight Scene

 

The final fightscene had to be about a half an hour, and the only acting in it was of Shia and Megan running. And running more. In slow mo...What the hell is this, Baywatch? And the fight was so boring. My head started aching because of all the explosions, but there was really not anything exciting about it. Optimus Vs. The Fallen was really gay, it took maybe thirty seconds of more explosions. What the hell, this is the main bad guy? A robot simply killed? WHAT? The scene where the Fallen sucks up all the tanks and lets them fall down the pyramid was kind of cool though.

 

 

 

1: Revivals (WARNING: SPOILERS)

 

Shia ends up getting killed, and how does he come back to this existance? By the Primes giving him back his life? What? How the hell does that make sense? If the Primes could bring people back from the dead, why the hell didn't they bring themselves back to life? The rivival also brought back the Matrix, which helped revive a dead Optimus Prime. It was stupid. Of course Optimus dies and they find something that can revive him. Of course the annoying main character can get resurrected by a bunch of dead robots.

You might wanna add spoiler alerts to your post.

The movie is just a 14 year olds wet dream.

No, Ratchet. Didn't see your post.

Also Ratchet, you are wrong about the first action scene.

 

 

 

It serves to tell that the Fallen will return. If you paid attention.

 

 

 

Besides, you go to see Transformers kick the crap out of each other. Nothing more really.

But why couldn't it be told in another way, other than that it was pointless.

 

 

 

When the transformers kicked the crap out of each other it was for maybe thirty seconds each fight. It wasn't that great. I agree that it was a 14 year olds wet dream (I may be 14 but I hate Megan Fox). It's more like a movie for preteens who are obsessed with explosions and [wagon]'s.

No.

 

 

 

I find it hard to believe how ignorant some people are. :|

^Yes

 

 

 

I really don't see how a movie that consists of CGI robots fighting each other while leering at Megan Fox can constitute as a good movie for anybody over a certain age.

Each fight did actually last longer than the ones in the last movie.

 

 

 

To put it simply, had it couldn't be told in another way. Do you honestly think a Decepticon is going to tell Optimus what is going to happen, unless they are going to be killed?

 

 

 

Honestly, the most annoying part was the whole Starscream/Megatron relationship. Someone just bloody kill Starscream!

It still felt like the writer was running out of time and decided to throw it out there. There was no thought involved, and it wasn't as deep as I was hoping. I don't want to see half hour fights that are repetitive and every three seconds consists of an explosion, and someone screaming.

Are people seriously complaining that the movie was dumb and shallow? Are you kidding me.

 

 

 

If you want your films to be deep and intricate you should probably stay away from the ones that are based on goddamn comics. Hope that helps.

Comic Movies that were not shallow:

 

Watchmen

 

Dark Knight

 

Batman Begins

 

Hell, even some of the cartoon series based on comics were deep. The Justice League. Teen Titans was kind of deep.

 

I don't know where your coming from, but comic books are the basis for many deep cartoons and movies.

 

I don't care if the movie is that shallow, but if it's going to not have a good story, then at least it should have a back up, whether it be action scenes (which sucked), comedy (which sucked), or whatever else. The movie was sub-par and many people would agree with me when I say that it was a dissappointment for fans of the original.

Sorry I wasn't aware there were any huge fans of the original movie. I just figured people go see these comic movies to be entertained for a few hours with pretty explosions and cool fightscenes, and afterwards you'll have a few beers with your friends and go " yea, it was worth the 14 bucks"... and then you talk about other stuff. Transformers delivered A++ on all of those accounts plus featuring Megan Fox. If you expect anything more then yeah, you will probably be disappointed. I just wasn't aware that there are people who actually do that, that's all.

Yeah, a lot of people do expect more out of there comic book movie adaptions. How do you explain the thousands of Watchmen fans who fought for months over how good the movie was and how accurate it was. Some people don't specifically go to movies for the experience, they go for a deep experience.

 

 

 

Yeah, there were tons of people before and after the Watchmen movie that fought over it for various reasons. I am not a huge fan of Transformers, I haven't even seen the whole first movie, I am just someone who enjoyed it. Not really a fan. I just find that the new one is not as exciting an experience. I hate long, drawn out fight scenes like the one displayed in Transformers 2. I don't go drink with a friend and talk about other stuff after a movie, we usually discuss how either awesome it was, or disappointing. Everyone I went with said it was OK, it just didn't do anything exciting.

 

 

 

Sure a lot of comic movies are random shooty, blowey uppy fests (see Punisher: Warzone) but when you set up the first one like Michael Bay did, and then kind of crap on the audience with a boring, drawn out experience...

 

 

 

That's another thing, people who enjoyed the original went in there looking for a companion to the original and found, instead, a broken mess. Nothing comes together and it is boring. I hate sequels, especially ones of really good movies that you expect a lot from, and end up finding yourself watching it and saying "I can't believe I payed to see this. What a sequel...".

I thought Transformers was based on a toy not a comic book?
