Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: ROTF User Review Thread

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, I liked Wheelie, too. I think it's safe to assume that he'll be staying with Mikaela.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

and Sam and Bumblebee. :heart:

 

[Maximum Carnage]

I loved that Spongebob was Wheelie. It made me laugh that much harder everytime he made a joke. :P

 

[Golgo-13]

How's it going Golgo. Good to hear you enjoyed ROTF.


You know...I really hope Wheelie comes back in the third one cause he was so awesome in ROTF. So cute. I hope he transforms into the yellow/white/orange car...

Thanks, hope you did too.


I thought Wheelie was gonna suck when i saw pics of him on here, but he actually looked cool on screen.....and humping Mikeala's leg.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Thanks, hope you did too.

lol. I did.

I thought Wheelie was a great addition. I'm still not keen on the part where he humps her leg...lols.


Gawd. I really hope he returns in the third movie. He kinda disappeared after the group arrived in Egypt. Please Bay! Being the little guy back for the third! Pretty please.

 

[Golgo-13]

I hope Bay returns for movie number 3. Whenever directors bail on the 3rd movie it doesn't feel the same and sucks. I'm not saying Bay's TF movies are perfect, but i want them to have the same feel and vibe throughout the trilogy.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

He will. He just wants a year off - a little break before he starts on the third.

No way! No thanks! I don't want him near this trilogy after what he did with X3. In fact, I don't even wanna go there.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

OMG! LOLOLOL!!! WHEELIE WAS HUMPING MEGAN'S LEG! THAT WAS SO FUNNY!!! LOL!

Seriously people? This is the kind of humor you like? Juvenile and immature? I don't remember this in the first one.
Hell the worst joke was the lubrication one and that's it!
Did the humping dogs amuse you as well?

I mean "The Hangover" has more sophisticated humor ... and is a better movie

 

[Mr. Earle]

I just watched it! Hooray!!! My review:

1) Hugo Weaving's voice was clearer this time. In the first movie he sounded more like a monster. Maybe its just me but I prefer the beastly one in the first.
2) Megan Fox's bouncing silicon boobs. I liked them but we all know she had surgery.
3) I liked robo-heaven. The Primes were awesome.
4) Starscream was a wuss. In G1 he had some guts and he often spoke his mind even though he contradicted Megs and without the latter beating him all the time. Megatron lived with Starscream's treachery. Here SS was constantly bowing and hoping that Megatron would spare him, while Megatron was overly abusive towards him. Bay tried but he didnt know how to do it. He just had Megatron beat the **** out of SS every few scenes.
5) Prime dead half the movie. Its OK i guess. Was he dead or in stasis anyway?
6) Torturro was standing right below the biggest decepticon which was destroying a pyramid. Couldnt he like... stand at a distance?
7) Pointless and stupid scenes but they releaved the pressure of the action. That forest scene almost gave me a heart attack.
8) What did Prime say after he killed Grindor and why did his swords turn into... hooks or something? What was that?
9) Prime vs Fallen. Obvious complaint, the almighty Fallen that can teleport and command matter got his ass kicked. If the Fallen's powers were more mechanical (like strenght, durability, weapons and not x-men powers), it wouldnt have seemed so bad when Prime beat him. He is supposed to be a robot anyway, not a god. Those powers were really off.
10) Jetfire was a ******. The farts, the falls, the falling parts, the mumbling, ehh.... Couldnt they make him old without making him look so bad? I liked him nonetheless, mostly because of his accent, his bravery and the way he fought. They should have restored him and let him live! He would have been great in the sequel. The twins should have been the ones to die.
11) Didnt like the teleportation, although Jetfire is one of the elder ones. He is more powerful and has his tricks... So i guess it was justified.
12) The movie had some pretty brutal ****. The Arcees getting blown when they were talking... It was really cruel. Then Prime skins the Fallen and asks for his face. Not a very heroic thing to say. He skinned him and then he punched right through him. What. the. ****. Seriously that was way too gross for me and i didnt have problems with Hostel. Maybe because they didnt skin someone's face. Damn, it was a CGI robot but it felt so real!
13) Prime vs Fallen vs Megatron. Did they really need to shoot behind the columns? Not only was it too fast, but the columns hid some of the action. I could barely tell what was going on. The same with some parts of the forest fight.
14) Jetfire's death was unemotional. Nobody hesitated. And then boom Jean Grey telepathetically moves Jetfire's parts. They mutilated him! In the end, Prime just throws away all the extra parts that gave him the edge over the Fallen. They could easily have been repaired. I knew that in the end Prime was always going to get back to his normal red and blue self, but there could be a better explanation.
15) Black marine guy. What the hell!
16) Couldnt the helicopter not throw Prime's dead body? I mean, he's the greatest leader and warrior of the universe!
17) Bumblebee was so cute when Sam died. Like a puppy.
18) Bay is a freaking ******, but he sure does know how to direct action. Prime flying through the debris and throwing the Fallen down, the forest fight, Shanghai.... WOW! Had Spielberg kept an eye on him and they didnt rush it for release so soon (especially with the writer's strike in the middle of it.... not that Orci and Kurtzman are writters.... they are hacks) it would have been a great movie.
19) All of a sudden Sam's hand is hurt. Bandages out of ****ing nowhere! And they said they wrote the injury in. Like... my dog can write better than that. Seriously.
20) Megatron was ****ing scary. When he interrogated Sam i pooped ma pants!
21) In the end Bay remembered that the movie was running too long, so right after the Fallen dies, Sam kisses Michaela and the movie ends. Too sudden, too rushed.

More will come later as i cant remember everything now.
Feel free to answer, comment, etc.

 

[SsM]

Could you not use the word ****** so much?

 

[Mr. Earle]

Could you not use the word ****** so much?

Its late and i am exhausted. I didnt notice how many times i used it. I removed most of it.

 

[SsM]

Thanks, slurs were being thrown around A LOT a number of pages back.

 

[Mr. Earle]

22) Didnt like how Megatron was like Vader. Galvatron was Unicron's servant as well, but we saw him hate Unicron and bow with difficulty. Here Megatron is honestly loyal to the Fallen. It never crossed his mind to use him and then betray him and use his device. I really didnt like seeing Megs like that.
23) Seriously now, i have to emphasize this. That carcass that was left of the Fallen was really gross. In the end he was like a thin kid trying to get away, but Prime grabs him from behind and shoots through him. I'm not saying he shouldnt kill him, but ****, he didnt have to do it this way. Bay was showing off! And i really didnt like the "give me your face" or "i rise you fall", but i did like "they were your brothers too".
24) Which brings me to how stupid the Primes were. They beat the Fallen but then decided to give their lifes to protect the Matrix? What? But he is beaten...
25) Prime being one of the Primes.... Eh.... It could have worked if the Matrix (which would be the combined wisdom and not some key) was passed down to him, so in a sense he would be their descendant and holder of their legacy. But him being one of them? How can anyone compete with him? And then why is he so normal and the Fallen has all these powers?
25) The Fallen should have been superior but his powers shouldnt have been so hax or magic based. And IMHO the best scenario for the end would have to be Prime taking him down with some help. Either from Megatron, or if the plot couldnt enable it, from the Autobots.
26) But if Bay had to wank to Prime and have him beat everyone up, then the Jetfire combo could have been done in a better way. Jetfire could climb on Prime and they could merge like the constructicons did. What the hell were all those flying parts?
27) Megatron's fat legs. His hands were puny but his feet were too fat. I dont know how the toy could work, but in the movie they should have transferred some of the extra fat to his arms.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Please answer my questions if you can. Like the one about Prime's swords turning into some kind of claws when he rips Grindor's face. I couldnt make out what happened there.
Also, Prime could have easily killed all three had he made his blows count. Why did he punch Megatron in the face with his fist? Where was that blade?

Anyway, its not like they would have killed Megatron.... again...

 

[Ipodman]

Transformers 3: LMAO???

Hope Bay returns for TF3...

 

[co2]

I may get slagged for giving my opinion, but here goes.

I thought this movie was just as bad as the last. Two hours and twenty minutes of explosions and such a busy screen, that I just got bored and shut down. I was so disinterested that I honestly found myself dozing off. It was so uncompelling, I really couldn’t tell you what the story was. And that’s what made me realize the handicap these films have beyond just Michael Bay (although that’s a HUGE part of it)…..

The original Transformers are right in my wheelhouse. I watched the cartoon as a kid. I always enjoyed it, but I’m by no means a fanboy. Even as a kid quite a few things bugged me, like how can these metalic beings bash one another around and are still capable of transforming? I mean, In real life you get even the smallest dent in your fender, and your car door won’t open properly. And the movie Transformers are made of thousands of intricate, moving parts, yet they bash one another to a pulp but are still capable of Transforming. That’s just a nit-pick I’ve had for 25 years and I’m sure there is a geeky answer I don’t know about like some sort of metal regeneration. It just seems like any real rules are out the window and that makes me disassociate. But that’s not the the biggest issue.

The biggest problem is this….
Transformers should go down in the history books as one of the greatest toys ever. It’s either a car, truck, or jet..which is also a robot…which is also a puzzle. It’s really genius. But building an actual story underneath that, that is plausible, doesn’t work and never has. The moral robots have aligned themselves and the immoral robots have done the same, and they fight over a leadership matrix..or energon cube…or whatever. It was always very weak. Maybe in the hands of a better story teller it might have been pulled off, but not in the hands of a director who has always been big on flash and low on substance.

Oh well. I can’t say it disapointed me as it was pretty much what I thought it would be. I can say one good thing. It had a good score. That was definitely my favorite thing about it.

The first had just as juvenille humor. Did you forget Bumblebee peeing on people?

 

[blksuperman2]

I really enjoyed the movie. Was surprised to see female autobots which were cool. Constructicons/Devastor was awesome. Jetfire was lame. A blackbird is hardly an ancient plane. It still holds speed records. Why would a robot need a cane anyway? Some of the foul language was unnessary and I'm surprised they got away w/ most of it and still remained P-13. I wouldn't have taken my kids w/ me if I knew it was that much adult stuff going on.

I was really confused by the whole Prime / Fallen / Megatron thing. If Prime & Megatron are brothers and the Fallen was brothers w/ the Primes wouldn't that make them all related?
Another thing that I didn't quite get was they said that there was Energon hidden on the planet but instead it was just a machine that could convert the sun's energy to make energon?

Prime and Megatron are brothers in the sense that you and I are brothers.

Oh.. Ok. I thought it was more literal.










Hey bro.. Can I borrow like $5?

 

[SolarTiger]

Well I just came back from this movie a couple hours ago. I can honestly say I enjoyed the movie. But this movie had some BIG problems.

I liked the humans and the ancient transformers tie in with history, and the primes story line was interesting, with The Fallen harvesting the sun's energy for energon. The Shanghai scene was pretty kick ass, and swideswipe cutting sideways in half was awesome.

Then the movie goes to Sam getting ready for college, and oh my god the parents were so ****ing annoying, especially the mom, I don't know why everyone was laughing at those parts. Sam just discovering that he has a part of the cube in his shirt after 2 years was weird also. Than Sam goes to college and his mom starts acting like a ******, and he meets his new roommate. Leo was a ***** ass punk in this movie, I hated his character with a passion! The parents and Leo had waaaay too much screen time.

The twins. I liked the ice cream truck design, but of course every autobot must be some pimped out car. They were a bit racist, but I didn't mind them too much and I am black. They were funny at times but they too had too much screen time. Bumblebee still uses his radio, Bay decides to ignore his character growth in the first movie. That Alice girl wasn't a necessary character IMO, just to show off another hot girl. Speaking of hot girls, Mikela in this movie had some nice ****, but didn't really do much except for the cheesy "I love you" line to bring Sam back to life.

And Sam. I like Shia Lebouf as him. But he was over the top at times. Optimus Prime was awesome in this movie. I love the forest scene where he took on Megatron, StarScream, and Blackout. Megatron comes back in like the first hour of the film, and looks completely different even though the parts the took from that other robot didn't match Megatron's final appearence. In the first film Megatron was built up to be a big badass, and he kicked everyone's ass. But in this film he was underpowered. I loved that the film had some classic Megatron and Starscream moments, that was missing in the first film. Aside from Optimus, BumbleBee, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, the twins, and Wheelie and JetFire, no other robots had a good story. I liked Wheelie's character. I also liked Jetfire, although he looked differnet from what I remember from the show. Jetfire was some old decepticon that lived on Earth a long time ago, and he had the ability to teleport. At first when the decepticon logo was on him, everyone freaks out but he switched sides, and Wheelie immediately switched sides after he was told he can. I LOVED Soundwave in this film, he is such a badass. I hope he has a bigger role in the next movie. Ravage (the tiger bot) was cool also. Agent Simmons was a great character, I thought he was funny and very likeable.

The last 45 minutes of the film were not that great, Sam figures out he can revive Optimus with The Matrix, and the gang goes to Egypt. The main villain of this film, The Fallen can only be beaten by a Prime, so Sam needs to get Optimus alive quickly. The Devastator scene made no sense to me, he is combining, and somehow the constructicons are on the ground fighting the US army. Devastator gets killed by some laser or missile, which was lame. The little scorpion guy from the first movie comes back and lasts only 10 seconds only to be killed by JetFire. What is the point of this?!? After Optimus is revived, him and JetFire combines all sparks and parts and go off to battle with The Fallen and Megatron. This fight was way to short, and Megatron was a ***** in this fight. The Fallen gets beat WAY too easily and than Optimus takes off Jetfire's parts.

This movie was too long and had too much explosions, it was like watching a porno 20 minutes after you came. I did have fun however, and this is an ok popcorn flick. I give this movie a 7/10, great cgi and action, but lacking on character development and poor humor.

 

[Avengers-Report]

Yahh some things really bothered me. Like when the primes sacrificed themselves for the tomb, how does that help protect it? it is just a bunch of dead bodies lol
