The plot was pretty decent for this kind of film, some of the origins of the Transformers are explored and the action set-pieces are sandwiched between comic relief and Megan Fox doing her thing. Just get the biggest Coke and Popcorn and enjoy! Some people hate these silly action epics and that's fine, but it is great to just switch off for three hours and have some mindless fun.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 06-18-2009 08:18 PM                        quote: If you don't like this one you must be brain dead! What if I've already decided not to see it?  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 06-18-2009 09:16 PM                     I actually love this type of action spectacle! If Michael Bay had a grasp of how to direct like his heroes James Cameron and Steven Spielberg it would be great! In my opinion, he has dummy downed the action genre to 12 year old levels. His choices always take me out of the story.  |  IP: Logged Steve Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 109 From: Paoli, IN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 06-21-2009 11:58 PM                        I love Megan FoX! What Eye Candy for sure!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-22-2009 12:04 AM                     I called "not it" on this turd months ago. No way will I sit through this retarded piece of Michael Bay poo.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-22-2009 11:42 AM                        Like you have time to be at a theater doing grunt work!  |  IP: Logged Ed Alvarado Film Handler Posts: 60 From: Fort Worth, TX,usa Registered: Oct 2004 posted 06-23-2009 06:34 PM                        man this movie was just not what i hope for it to be. it was a bit mature at times but man the cheesy lines and the whole college thing with his mom was just STUPID. and whats with the ghetto twin bots? did they go to south central la to find those robots?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 06-23-2009 07:17 PM                     Eh, I dunno. The action sequences were pretty good, although in the opening scenes, the robots seemed to have a California Raisins look about how they moved. Too long and too much love story, but entertaining overall.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-23-2009 07:29 PM                     I still say this is dogshit on reels...and Roger Ebert (who has seen it) agrees: quote: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. 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.

Maybe this is the wrong spot for this but who got the black or silver locks, my two prints had both black  |  IP: Logged David Alexander B Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Waterloo Belgium Registered: Jul 2008 posted 06-24-2009 04:12 AM                        as Bay said he shot it as it was the last opus. a 3 is not planned anyway disappointed by the sound in the theater, perhaps level not correct but also something with the subs STAR TREK and T SALVATION were absolute reference sound experience with tight impressive bass and crips mediums highs. anyone's opinion on the sound of TFORMERS 2 ? again a noisy super 35 (is it ?) image at times as with the first one. (3DLP DIGITAL) some very funny moments. last sequence is nice. too long i agree. STAR TREK AND T SALVATION were more "impressive" new of course.  |  IP: Logged
