Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: ROTF User Review Thread

[Jake Cassidy]

It seemed like eevery single ****ing line was a sarcastic remark attempting to get a giggle from the audience. It's like "how about a serious piece of dialogue PLZ". The scenes in Egypt with Torturro, the ****ing annoying roommate, and the twins made me want to punch myself in the forehead as hard as possible. Anyone who liked this movie seriously has the brain of a small child.

This is coming from someone who loved the first one (in theaters).

You don't have to insult people who liked the movie just because you didn't.

This movie was an insult to my intelligence.

Bay needs to grow up.

What intelligence?

What intelligence?

Nice edit, d00d. I was about to call you a meanie.

 

[Boom]

My experience in the theater was inexcusable. Children shouting, parents doing nothing, people talking. What made things worse was that the mind-numbing "humor" in this film was received by a riot from the audience.

-Two redneck robots? Not funny.
-The roommate? Not funny.
-Deep Roy's cameo? Not funny.
-John Turturro? Not funny.
-The mom eating weed brownies? Not funny.
-Devastator's wrecking ball nut sack? Not funny.
-Wheelie humping Megan Fox's leg? Not funny.

The film is PG-13, but with this kind of humor, it's like Bay went out of his way to target infants. By hour two, I half expected the Twins to have a fart-off.

I didn't care for Simmons in the original but liked him quite a bit more this go-round...sans the ass shot of course

I hated Turturro in the first one, I hated him just as much in ROTF.

 

[combocaz]

I thought it was a really good film for its genre.

If you're so intelligent I would think you would go into the movie expecting to see what you saw in the first movie but this time just a lot more of it.

Example 1: Things blowing up. It happened in the first movie a lot..this time even more.

Example 2: ****** sarcastic dialogue. Ton of that in the first movie. This one was filled with it even more. (yes the mother and the roommate did get annoying but not enough for me to hate the film)

I'm not sure what people really expected out of this movie, especially when they saw and enjoyed the first one. All it is is a fun action movie. If you want to watch something sophisticated watch Donnie Darko. If you want such great acting and dialogue go sit home and watch The Departed. Seriously, it's Michael Bay. What did you want from him?

I tell you what I didn't expect. Giant. Transformer. Testicles. Megan Fox's leg behing humped by a Transformer. Putting the Focus on ****** Twins when you got the Acree's and Sideswipe around.

Nothing I've seen in the first one could've prepared me for this. The first one had it's immature jokes from time to time, but I found most hilarious. All the Bumblebee moments, the Transformers at Sam's house, etc. But ROTF took the whole thing to an entirely new level.

The niveau took such a dive, you can't say that people who enjoyed the humor in the first Movie, will enjoy the humor here.

While I wasn't as annoyed by them as many have been, I would have substituted Hot Rod for the two of them. At least he'd have served more of a purpose/made sense if you just have to have a hip-talking younger Autobot...

Transformers 2

5/10

I'm not gonna bash it but I'm going to say this: Somewhere in there might be a decent movie if they cut out all of the useless scenes. It's okay to have a fun cute scene here and there with Sam and his family, but for the entire first act. The movie draggged like crazy. Even the last act was extremely boring, despite the action. Isn't that weird?

Secondly, the movie sidelines the actual Transformers. They are just side characters and you barely get to know them, or even get a proper introduction to the new Autobots. Besides Prime, Jetfire, and Megatron and Starscream, no one else does anything or say anything useful. The Twins are not just stupid, they don't even contribute to the story. Heck, even Wheelie is more important than the Twins.

Overall, this movie caters to the lowest common denominator, even more so than Transformers 1, a movie which I did enjoy. I left my brain out of the first movie and I liked it. I left my brain out of the second movie, and I was shocked how low it went.

By the way, Michael Bay is outdated. Actresses shouldn't look like Hollister/American Eagle models. He needs to update to the Urban Outfitter/American Apparel crowd. I'm dead serious about this.

I'm saying that it was going to be taken to a whole other level. Yes, some of the stuff said and done was ridiculous but I found all the better parts to out shine a small little part when a tiny transformer humped Megan Fox's leg for 3 seconds.

The sad thing is that you spend so much time with these new characters that the characters that I liked (Ironhide, Rachet) are barely in the friggin' movie.

 

[Microchip]

I felt that this movie was pretty epic in it's successes and failures. It kind of levelled out as average. I REALLY couldn't stand Sam's parents, I don't get why they were featured that heavily, and the twin autobots hurt too. At the same time, there were a lot of entertaining elements, and Bay is the king of making mindless, fun popcorn flicks.

 

[Gracen1]

You're being completely silly. Nero waited 20 years for spock to get the red matter from him so he could destroy planet Vulcan. Nero had no intention of ruling the universe because that's not what motivated his character. His character was motivated by revenge.

the silly thing is nero still waited for spock when for all everyone knew, it would be blind luck for spock to come along when he did. it could've been 100 years. that plot point has been torn apart from already. the dude could have kept a ship waiting for the eventual arrival of spock while he conquered the UNIVERSE. his stupidity to destroy vulcan because spock, an ally of the romulans, was a moment to late to save his race, when spock didn't have to bear that responsibility in the first place. the entire federation's plan was to bear it all on spock.....okay.......silly indeed. also, to say nero had character.....he was as one-dimensional as a villain can get. megatron had as much character, he was more enjoyable at least.

 

[Nathan]

The Travel group was so uneven. I don't mind if you put the focus on new characters, but the entire group mainly consisted out of idiots. You've got the roommate who doesn't stop crying, Turturro, the ****** Twins and Wheelie. With Sam and Mikaela being the normal guys of the group and Bumblebee still as a mute.

 

[Octoberist]

I really don't know why the parents were so heavily featured either.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I was really hoping that the roommate and Turtutto died. Sadly, they didn't.

I agree that Megatron was a more entertaining villain. However, the crew of the Enterprise made the movie magically despite its flaws.

Here, Prime and Bubblebee are barely featured, and it was all about Sam and his crew. All whom had zero character or charm.

 

[Nathan]

I try to imagine how great the group would've been if you got Banacheck instead of Turturro's character, the roommate being murdered before by the Pretender and Skids & Mudflap being replaced by Sideswipe and one of the Arcee's.

 

[Gracen1]

the part when leo was freakin out in the car and him being tasered should've been cut. also, when devastator was finishing transforming, they cut to sam and mikaela running around. they should've kept the camera on devastator. i felt they took the momentum away from that awesome transformation scene.

 

[Octoberist]

yeah, if they just replaced the Twins with Sidewipe and Arcee, it would have been great.
