Revenge of the Fallen Concerns About Transformers: ROTF

[LightningFlash]

No, thats how you can tell who the true nerds are...

Same thing.

True TF fans = nerds.

 

[The Lizard]

The first movie's dialog, storyline and plot inconsistancies lowered my expectations to the point where I don't really care enough to have any concerns. I just laugh it all off now.

Jetfire walks with a cane? LOL - sure, why not?

Wisecracking twin Autobots making fart jokes for the kids? - OK...go crazy.

A bunch of Transformers that have big wheels instead of legs, and thus still look like vehicles in their jumbled, confusing robot modes? - whatever...it's Bayformers, man!

More annoying character acting from John Turturro, more lack of any kind of romantic chemistry between LaBeouf and Fox, and more inane dialog and broad, dumb humor all around? -- Hey, whatever brings in the money from the masses, right? LOL.

I know what to expect. So the 25% of the movie that's awesome action and effects scenes will remain my primary focus. I won't worry about the rest.

 

[DemonicFoil]

Repeating lines from the the first movie as well, "what your about to see is top secret"

 

[lars573]

Like "top secret" means jack in a movie.

 

[Geekgirl]

Same thing.

True TF fans = nerds.

Totally agree. Only true nerds would stand around talking for months about whether or not Bay will do justice to cartoon (answer: probably not.)

 

[protocida]

The line from the first movie is "What you're about to see is completelly classifided".

 

[LightningFlash]

Wasn't it "totally classified"?

And I believe he was just mentioning how the lines sound very similar.

And both come from Sector Seven agents. Even though SS was disbanded. Still the same.

 

[protocida]

I know. I'm joking.

 

[Geekgirl]

Did you guys just have an argument about the exact wording of a line? Man, we are nerds.

 

[JackLucas]

Indeed.

 

[LightningFlash]

Hey, I can be a nerd sometimes.

But then I can also pwn someone in a game of 21, haha.

 

[Avangarde]

It's a beautiful thing, it's when ravings and ignorance step up to the plate and wave their arms around saying "look at me, give me attention".

Ha I think this is a perfect answer for this thread. Now that I think about it, even the title of this thread seems to be an oxymoron. I think we all know why we will go to see this movie....and Ill be in line right beside you..

 

[Geekgirl]

Bring on the action and violence! Bring on the giant robots! Bring on the destruction! Bring on Transformers!

 

[DemonicFoil]

Hmmmm, i guess another concern i have is that i hope they don't use mistaken names of certain bots like when bay decided to call brawl Devastator in the first one.

The perfect movie to switch off to and enjoy yourself.

Also with regards to Simmons line...I reckon it was deliberate to paraphrase a line from the first one to get in his joke of "don't tell my mother".

 

[DemonicFoil]

Another concern i have is that i wonder why Bay choose to not give Megatron a earth mode instead of all these cybertronian alt modes.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I'm concerned Desvastator won't have too much screen time and will be killed off by a human.

 

[protocida]

I doubt it. My bet is in Jetprime.

 

[shigsy2003]

I'm concerned Desvastator won't have too much screen time and will be killed off by a human.

Depends on who "creates" him. According to that recent "Spoiler Bible" or whatever it was Megatron tells the Constructicons to merge to defeat the Fallen. If that happens then the Fallen will probably kill him. However if the Fallen controls Devs then Megatron, Optimus Fire (or Jet Prime), Autobots, Decepticons and humans will bring him down....then get back to fighting each other.

Hopefully bay will tone down the cheesy humor this time around, and make it more serious and dark

 

[DemonicFoil]

Yeah, i hope its darker as well, the cheesiness factor will be in there for sure but maybe there will be just enough darkness to make up for it.

My main concern: The Michael Bay humor. I already facepalmed to the "I'm so excited / Bumblebee" moment in the trailer.

 

[Geekgirl]

Here is an interesting connection to the "Don't tell my mother," Simmons thing. I read the Alan Dean Foster Prequel Novelization, "The Veiled Threat." It suggests that part of what Simmons has (and is hiding from his mother) is Frenzy's head. (The book also confirms that without Sector Seven, he goes even more paranoid and crazy.)

This is a huge thing for me as well. I literally cant watch when I hear some of Bay's humor. Its so bad, its like he is slapping me in the face and saying "HEY! If you want to see my explosions, you are going to have to sit through this crappy dialogue"
