Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: ROTF User Review Thread

[Forever is over]

But why do we have to formulate theories as to why the constructicons were in two different places? It would have been nice if the movie had perhaps explained it at some point. The direction was just sloppy as hell all the way through.

 

[Nathan]

are the voices correct here ?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/

jetfire was from John Turturro? and why is jazz there?

Must be wrong, I can't believe that Turturro would be able to pull that voice off.

 

[dark_b]

deleted scene or just a promo pic?

 

[Nathan]

I think that's in the credits. You see Mikaela sitting on a bike and Sam going to class.

I saw the movie. I cant believe that I actually liked the twins ALOT! I was prepared to hate them and I loved them. Prime was a complete badass. HOWEVER.........when you see a movie once and only once, and you can see tons of mistakes. This equals sloppy movie. I saw long haul in four places at once. all of the constructicons were all over the place including when devestator was present. It was sloppy sloppy sloppy. It is easy to pick apart a movie when you see it multiple times. I was it once and caught a ton of errors. And I absolutely cannot believe that mudflap beat devestator and busted his way out of his head. Furthermore, at the halfway point I was absolutely loving the movie, halfway through the second half, I found myself not caring anymore. Bay turned the last half from possibly epic to a messy prolonged mess. I loved badass bee as well. I even loved wheelie. All the things i thought i would hate i loved and what i thought i would love i hated. I think bay should let someone else helm the last installment.

I loved this movie. I'm glad I don't go by other folks' opinions before going into a movie.

I suggest you all to do the same.

I think that's in the credits. You see Mikaela sitting on a bike and Sam going to class.

the last scene i saw in the credits was Sam in school. after that they were more?

why even show those scenes. who cares?

 

[Immortalfire]

I liked it pretty well. Much like the first one, I knew it wasn't going to be super serious..after all, this is Michael Bay we're talking about.

- The bots transformations are just as cool as ever.

- Are all the sex jokes and whatnot, really necessary?

- Why does Sam's mom have to be such a ditz?

- Glad to see Optimus be much more of a badass.

- Sideswipe is a beautiful piece of machinery..his Corvette mode, I mean.

- Josh Duhamel does the best acting job. That ain't saying much, but he's alright.

- Some of the dialogue was too fast, in the library at Sam's college..I couldn't understand a thing they said other than "I'm not talking to you for 10 seconds, you've got 3 seconds left."

- Seeing the Constructicons come to live was amazing.

As expected, it's nothing mind blowing nor is it an earth shatteringly incredible film. But it was big, loud and fun. Ain't too bad

I'm already tired of some of the newbies saying this. It's already old.. and should be stopped. :/

 

[Immortalfire]

Oh yeah, Bumblebee was outside my theater

It was sweet

Bay honestly needs someone who controls him. I don't mind if Bay stays, because he really knows how to direct the action, but we need someone who does quality control. Someone who hits him over the head every time he wants to include Transformers like the Twins or stupid sex jokes. One of the Kitchen bots had a freaking penis gun.

 

[Theweepeople]

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.

No it is not silly if Nero and his crew new about the effects of the red matter and were able to estimate how long it would take for Spock to go through the black hole. They obvious had technology from the future that would allow them to predict Spocks arrival and location.

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.

What you're suggesting is ridiculous. His ship might have been powerful but, there's no way in hell he would have been able to destroy the romulan, klingon, and federation fleets all at once. He would also have to deal with the Borg, dominion, and cardassians. It made perfect sense for Nero and his crew to stay hidden from all the alien races until Spock appeared.

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 romulans were not an ally of the ferderation in the past. In fact the Romulans didn't became an ally until the end of the Deep space nine series so what you're suggesting doesn't make any sense.

the entire federation's plan was to bear it all on spock.....okay.......silly indeed.

It obviously wasn't completely Spock's burden or Nero wouldn't have been so pissed off at the federation for Spock's failure. Nero also killed some klingons in the movie so they may have played some role in the fate of Romulus. Furthermore, the Klingons and Romulans never got along in any of the star trek series.

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.

This is about the only thing I partially agree with you on but, I don't think he was that bad as a villian.

i think for the first movie he controled him a little. and he added some ideas to the story. then TF made a lot of money. he knew that the sequel would do a lot of money so he let Bay to hes own movie. i think for the third it would be good if he was more on the set like Jerry Bruckheimer. you know when Bay has some crazy ideas he would touch hes shoulder and say ''Mike less is more''. like a grandfather giving advice to a kid. i think this would work very good.

 

[Nathan]

And if the grandfatherly advice doesn't work, we taser him in the neck.

 

[dark_b]

in hollywood noone goes against Spielberg. if he says soemthing they listen. Bay is not that crazy that he would do something that spielberg doesnt want.

and for people who have big problems with the story dont forget that mister Spielberg himself greenlighted this script. dont hate Bay for being ''bay''.

The first file Bay wasn't executive producer, so there was alot more control by the studio plus Steven. In this one he is executive producer which gives him the creative control and direction of the film more...that's why this film doesn't have much story to it but more robot fighting. I actually like the first one more, alot more character development and it didn't feel rush in the scenes/sequence.

 

[The-HYPE]

the last scene i saw in the credits was Sam in school. after that they were more?

why even show those scenes. who cares?

Now did you see the scene where Megatron arrives back on Nemesis injured waiting to get fix and then he turns to a nest of protoforms and command them to rise?

I did. It's all the way at the end in my showing.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

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

I actually liked the fact that they were added in. PRetty emotional when the father didn't want to let his son go. Kind of reminded me of that scene in War Of The Worlds (2005).

 

[Nathan]

Spielberg greenlighted this nonsense? Then all hope is lost. I can't believe that he'd greenlight something like *and then the camera pans to Devastator's two giant wrecking "balls"*

I bet Shia was sneaking a peeky down Megan's chest in this shot.

You better not be making this up. I didn't see it at my showing.

 

[The-HYPE]

I am not making it up...it's all the way towards the end of the credits. Kind of like when Tony Stark went back to his mansion and find Nick Fury in his home in Iron Man. t:

Megatron stares and see a full hall/room full of protoforms in their blue looking eggs and he commands them and you see 2 or 3 raise ther hands to break the seal.

 

[Nathan]

I know, I always stay till the credits are over, but we didn't get anything.

bay told in an interview that he was in spielbergs office to show him the story for the sequel.
i think detailed dialoge was not shown to spielberg. but he doesnt care IMO.

the robots in the kitchen were like gremlins. . and i wouldnt be suprised if bay and spielberg talked about this. i liked them acting like gremlins.

 

[Nathan]

I didn't mind the Gremlins, except for the one that had the red glowing, phallic cannon between it's legs.

And the movie isn't all too bad, but there are just too many uneccesary sex jokes and implications and one hairy man ass too many. And putting focus on the Twins when you've already got Bumblebee and Wheelie for comedic relief.
