Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I haven't watched the movie yet, but most of all, Im not a movie fan and just dont plain care enough to not view this thread because of spoilers.

Something tells me though that this thread will be equally or more entertaining than the movie though which doesn't sound like a good sign.

I completely disagree. She's not that pretty. It may just be my "non-lesbian, completely straight" side talking but really, guys, you could all do better.

-They gave Devastator balls for no other reason than to give Simmons an excuse to mention that he was below the scrotum. Way to totally ruin Devastator, guys.

That was just STUPID! But I laughed :]

--A few of the gimmicky jokes I could have done without. The dog humping was totally unnecessary, as was the mini-transformer humping Megan Fox's leg. Come on, Michael Bay, keep that crap out of here

The robot was funny as hell. You're insane for thinking otherwise.

Negative points:

- The Twins, Mudflap and ****face, two robots that have distinctly... 'ethnic' voices, gold teeth... That can't read. That was wonderful.

That was annoying as hell, especially since I was sitting next to my hispanic friend and he was getting frustrated the entire time.

- A giant robot having testicles for nothing more than a joke.
- Sam's mom getting high for a joke.
- 90% OF the jokes not working.
- Almost 3 hours.
- Not enough robots fighting.
- Decepticon Girl trying to seduce Sam - he doesn't notice that she is made out of machine.
- Stupid inter-relationship tension between Sam and Mikela.
- Mikela's father getting introduced only to have no bearing on the plot.
- Sam's parents getting kidnapped.
- Sam's parents.
- Sam (Nothing against Shia, I thought he was great - the character was not.)
- The script.

All of this stuff did bother me, but not enough for me not to like the movie.

The thing I found interesting was that the black audience in my theater were the ones laughing the hardest at Skid and Mudflap. Go figure.

Happened at my theatre too XD

Getting kicked in the nuts is more interesting than the movie.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

On a more general note, I mean, I'm all for "suspension of belief" when it comes to movies. I don't expect a movie to be realistic. But this movie doesn't require you to simply check your brain in at the door. It requires you to take out your brain, kill it, and puree it in a blender.

-Like Mal said, wouldn't the energy signals of the girl be picked up?
-I also wondered about the pyramid, Mal. Apparently all the explorers over the years totally missed the Tomb of the Primes in addition to the machine in the pyramid. WTF.
-Why couldn't Bumblebee give Sam+Mikaela a ride to Optimus' body? I mean, the fact that they were basically running through the desert for an hour seemed completely inefficient.
-Why couldn't Jetfire help provide some transportation, at that? He's a freaking jet. Who can TELEPORT.
-I felt like it should have been easier for the Decepticons to stop Sam from getting to Optimus. Talk about epic fail. Why couldn't they just mass-attack and try to rip apart Optimus' body or something instead of wasting time finding Sam?
-I find it funny how they have to go all the way to meet Simmons only to find that they consult the robot for further information THAT THEY'VE HAD IN THEIR POSSESSION THE WHOLE TIME. I just figured they would have interrogated the bot about those symbols first.
-NO explanation for the "robot heaven" or why they were suddenly able to restore the Matrix. It felt like there was no point to the Matrix falling apart in the first place.
-Why can the Fallen only be killed by a Prime? That made no sense to me either. He seemed to fall apart just like any other robot. He wasn't even that formidable of an opponent. He lasted maybe 20 seconds.
-Again, why do we spend so much time with Skid and Mudflap? We have all these cool Autobots, and yet, we spend all this time with Jar Jar Binks and Co. WHY?!
-WHY did we have to see clear up Simmons ass?! Needless.


Everyone in my theater was more or less beaten into submission by the end of the movie. You're feel more glad that it's over than "Yeah! That was freaking awesome!" I had fun, but a lot of things could have done better. This film had a LOT more potential and I felt like the script and plot were made up as they went, resulting in a long, aimless 3 hour adventure.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

HAHAHA the catiques and this thread is just awsome. I can't stop laughing.

Magen Fox is hot as ****. YOu just need to be a guy or somewhat attracted to girls to understand it.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The best way I can summarize this film: It's like a porno, only you're forced to watch it for about an hour after you bust your nut. That seriously describes how I felt during this movie.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

They're making a Transformers 3 apparently.

[MalReynolds]

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Of course they are. Bay is allegedly not attached - he's tired of poor reviews and wants to do a movie of substance. They'll keep making movies that morons deem as "COMPLETELY AWESOME NUTSHOT OF DEVESTATOR" as long as morons continue to see them. I'm guilty, but I usually go to movies that are really bad anyway because they're funny - See: The Happening.

But this was just so bad it made me angry - See: Death Race with Chev Chelios.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

"Paramount and DreamWorks have officially announced that they will be making Transformers 3, and releasing the film on Friday, July 1st 2011."

MIchael Bay: "I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 - they asked me on the phone - I said yes to July 4 - but for 2012 - whoops! Not 2011!!! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots."

"LaBeouf said he expects a third "Transformers" would carry the action beyond Earth and become "more of an intergalactic thing."

My predictions:
-Megatron becomes Galvatron
-Unicron! How badass would that be?

I would hope that Bay would really take the criticisms of this film seriously. I don't want T3 to be another cockdump.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Apparently someone dies according to Shia, haha.

Is it just me and my friend Eric that, when we see a preview for Transformers we keep saying Shia LeBeouf's name in a french accent?

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

so wait it sounds worse than the first from what i've read in this thread

[MalReynolds]

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The character that dies

is

SPOILER

Shia. He goes to heaven - I did you not - and it is full of robots that are like, it's not your time. Go back.

END SPOILER

What I also love is

in Transformers 1, Optimus was all IF YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MEGATRON, SHOVE THE CUBE INTO MY CHEST

and in Transformers 2, all of the ghost Primes go, YOU NEED TO SHOVE THIS MATRIX INTO OPTIMUS'S CHEST

What is it

with optimus

and getting things shoved in his chest

weirdo

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Well, in the old Transformers animated movie with Unicron, a LOT of characters die. I know Megatron/Galvatron kills Starscream. Quite a few Autobots bite the bullet, though. However, I doubt they're going to kill Optimus again (he dies in the animated movie along with Ultra Magnus, Ironhide, etc). I suspect Unicron will kill Megatron/Galvatron and then the remaining Autobots will kill off Unicron.

In terms of Autobots, I would predict either Ironhide or Mikaela dies. Optimus already died, Shia already had a "death moment," and I doubt they're going to kill Bumblebee (that would be horrible!).

Why don't they just kill Skid and Mudflap from the getgo? That'll work. I was elated when Mudflap was sucked into Devastator. "Thank god he's gone!" Nope. He's STILL alive. ****.

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I think he was talking about TF2, as the script for T3 isn't even finished yet.
