Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

[namsayin]

I wanna go with my kid tomorrow, he loves it, how long is this movie?

about two and a half hours long.

Sounds lame. Per one of my friends who saw it, it's just loud and has a lot of CGI. Save for Megan Fox, it would be in the same category as Terminator Salvation.

[blunttech]

I disagree.

and that is why you are wrong

[mattdk318i]

i thought it was Revenge of the Fallen?

[Alkasquawlik]

i thought it was Revenge of the Fallen?

It is Revenge of the Fallen.
OP fails.

CG was cool. plot was awful, they seemed to forget about what the main characters were working towards and plugged in a super long commercial for the US Military.

......and GM, and Cisco, etc etc

CG = very cool
Megan Fox = very cool
Everything else = not so much

[namsayin]

bahaha my bad guys i got back at 3am i was tired :( can a mod change that for me!

[James Crivellone]

Easily the best movie I've seen all year thus far

[Hick]

hahaha, THAT movie was the worst crap ive ever seen! i do like the nekid arnold bot

......and GM, and Cisco, etc etc

i thought about listing them all, but i figured it would be a little overwhelming. dont forget the LG plugs

[James Crivellone]

I actually like all the plugs from different companies. Makes the movie a tad more hilarious to me personally.

A spot-on review, IMHO.


The Transformers Sequel Is Loud, Obnoxious, and Loud
By Richard Lawson


As it lurches toward us, metal gears clanking and whirring like Larry King at a mixer, early reviews of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen come trickling in. The word? Basically it's loud and garish and, worst of all, not fun.

Take Roger Ebert's scathing review for the Chicago Sun-Times:

"If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination."

Oh, sad robot.

Ray Bennett at the Hollywood Reporter is equally dismissive:

"Bay's team of four editors stitch together smashing but meaningless images, though it's as difficult to make out which machine is which as it is to tell what anyone is saying. The noise level — not helped by Steve Jablonsky's relentless score — is super-intense and everyone yells lines at high speed. Because nothing they're saying makes any sense, it's hardly important.

LaBeouf gets little chance to show what charm he might have. Meanwhile, Fox has little to do except look great in a tank top and tight jeans while running in slow motion through flying sand."

Variety and a couple other pubs actually enjoyed the thing, if only for the slickness of the stupidity. But while we're fully expecting the movie to ravage the Fourth of July holiday box office like so many crazed alien robots ravage the lurid curves of Megan Fox, we also wonder how long this dumb-but-bracing genre of summer action pic can last. What with a big, big hit like Star Trek earning glowing notices and being zingy and CGI-packed. Can a schlockist like Michael Bay continue to tread water when more and more talented directors—both visualists and storytellers—successfully raise the bar?

Let's hope not. We mean, watching a toaster come alive and eat Shia LaBeouf may have its place in the world, but it's also nice to at least begin to care about characters and revel in a witty turn of phrase here and there. "Run, oh God, run! The angry space Egyptian robots are coming," barely even counts for camp value these days.

all i cared about while watching the movie was the drool factor that megan fox had on everyone watching

she sure made a lot of people happy hahaha

all i heard when she showed up on the screen at the beginning on her bike was "OHHHHHHH DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

[DEV0 E30]

It makes me laugh when critics mash their keyboards on a movie like this.

It's Transformers, if you don't understand, if you are expecting more, and if you're going to complain... then it's not for you.

A spot-on review, IMHO.


The Transformers Sequel Is Loud, Obnoxious, and Loud
By Richard Lawson

It's meant to be loud? Giant robots are fighting. Obnoxious? Yeah it's meant to be.

Yeah. His other posts are about celebrity gossip that I don't care about, like that Perez Hilton character, thus he loses all credibility to me.

[BeirBrennerE30]

has anyone watched the old original TV show??? The acting and script were terrible in that too. It's robots fighting... thats the plot. People really dont even need to be in the movie. It should just be robots fighting for no particular reason. Thats all Im looking for
