Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: ROTF User Review Thread

[LegendaryCaleb]

I put Bad because there we're some moments I actually enjoyed....but most of the movie was just...straight up...Bad

 

[CEREBRAL....]

movies don't have to be "good" to do that

they just have to really entertain the audience so much so that the audience will want to see more of said actor

just ask Jim Carey!

let me say it this way...Bay's movies only help those actors pockets...they were receiving movies roles before and during Bay's movies..

 

[BlackLantern]

a little lining of the pockets isn't a bad thing

You can't go through life doing indie flicks and working for scale....actors got bills to pay.

not big ones

which I believe is what was the point of that little discussion

man..i will respectively say this...you are a michael bay apologist.....u will say whatever in favor of him, obivously you will disagree, but you're staying faithful to him at ever turn...

these actors didn't need bay...Will Smith for instance, hit it big with independence day....bay boys was an after thought compared to that movie....

 

[dark_b]

'Cause it was boring.

the movie is loud and has fast action scenes. because of that you can not fall asleep. plus around you people are laughing every 40 seconds.

Yeah, Nicolas Cage's Oscar winning performance in Leaving Las Vegas totally wasn't a big role.

Yeah just because stuff is blowing up loud and fast doesn't mean people cant fall asleep. And people around me were not laughing every 40 seconds because nothing in the movie was funny.

 

[BlackLantern]

the theater I was in, people were pretty jovial....I guess we're all just common folk and not proper film fans then

Im a fan of Transformers, but asking me to have a "deep respect" for it is like asking me to respect a stripper....yes I appreciate what you do, but just get up on that stage and shake your ass...

 

[CEREBRAL....]

ouch...one of my questions is how seriously should Transformers be taken?? its beloved by many, 20+ years of history......but to read some of the posts in here, you'd think its something the level of 'A Few Good Men' or 'The Green Berets'....at the end of the day, this is about giant robots that turn into cars

With this on going battle between posters/users/fans who like the film compared to posters/users/fans who didn't like the film....this is a point that shouldn't need to be made anymore...AGAIN..it's been said 1,000 times...nobody is looking for a oscar nominated film here , and those who do like the film should stop using this point of view (or the orgin "JUST BEING A CARTOON" as an argument for those of us who didn't care for the film. Just asked for quality; a good balance between action, acting and comedy. Point blank, and to some...this wasn't achieved..plain n simple to me. Nothing more, and nothing less.

 

[BlackLantern]

critical acclaim yes...but not a widely known film until it got nominated...I hadn't even heard of it until just before nominations came down..

my point was that 'The Rock' opened some doors in the action genre that might not have been open to Cage before

 

[dark_b]

ok maybe every 5 minutes

I don't mean to disrepect anyone by jumping into the convo. and if anyone of you feel that way, just tell me to mind my business.t:

I think this is more of a hypothetical. Cause onless N.Cage came out and said it's because of M.Bay. I have been able to taken my career and explore a new genre of movies. Then none of us , and even bay can say that. There could of been another director wanting to do the samething, or even Cage telling his agent he wanted to do action films. I mean we just dont know.

I mean, and i can't remember what came first ("speed" or "point break" for keanu Reeves), but we dont hear the director for "speed" basically applying that he put Keanu Reeves on the map as far as action movies go.

And what if the stripper was fat, one legged and totally uncoordinated?

and those who didn't like the film need to stop acting as if they are above the tastes of the "common folk" who actually did enjoy the movie...or that fans who liked it aren't real fans...just because YOU didn't like it, doesn't make it a bad movie

in any case, stop trying to sound like your side has more weight to it and end the discussion....you sound like MovieFan 2k4 when he used to go on his religion benders...spouting his views as "facts"

See this is where your emotions are getting the best of you. Please find me where i have "attacked" or "implied" that those of use who didnt care for the film have more "weight" then those who did like the film. I haven't made one comment about anyone who like the film in a negative way. I have made comments on their point of views towards the ones who didnt like the film. But never once said anything about those who like the film. I don't make money of this either way....It's like rap music.."just entertainmen

 

[nintendo nerd]

i understand how some people think that this movie is bad. but how can someoen fall asleep in the middle of a TF movie?

I did too. Watch it a second time to judge it fairly, hated it. Liked the first one though.

 

[Jager X]

I did not fall asleep, but I did find my attention drifting off somewhere else - mainly the ceiling.

too many military montages

gasp, Marvin who is no doubt on bays pay roll, finding faults?

never thought I'd hear that from you

the dude that took such offense to having his point of view diminished to that of a "hater"

well put

as for that second "point"

whatever smith got after Bad boys works in conjunction with bays argument
after thought or not

allow me to illustrate;
if shia were to land the biggest role in history in the next two years(tf 3)
it could be attributed to his "big break" through role

duh

 

[Aethea]

Crap. Utter Crap.

I guess in order for one to enjoy this "crap" they have to go into the theater with no expectations or preconceptions. The Matrix of Leadership was a slap on the face. I cannot believe it was reduced to a mere energy collecting key.

 

[Marvin]

energy collecting key

...you don't say

 

[StylishHokie21]

I found this to be worse than the first movie. The first hour is pretty good, but then it starts to go downhill from there. The effects were great as usual, but that's about it really.
