Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: ROTF User Review Thread

[AnorexicBatman]

Because I have the right to express my opinion?
A movie message board where you are only allowed to shout praise doesn't seem very fair.

Can I ask something?
Would it have been so bad to have humor that was wholesome and something you would see in a Saturday Morning Cartoon? The kind of stuff you would see in Scooby Doo or Jetsons?

I maen Bay can't do intelligent or witty humor so why not the kid friendly variety instead of fart and poop jokes? After all, as most of you have said, Transformers was a SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON

Ive been called a bad person and less of a "true fan" for liking the movie

 

[AnorexicBatman]

People say that my expectations were too high.
It goes both ways, their expectations were too low.

Micheal Bay: Do I look like a guy with a script or talent? I just DO THINGS!

AB...lets just hug it out...

I'll keep it simple: WORST movie I've EVER seen in a theater. No character or story development, horrendous script, lousy acting and direction, plotholes that the galaxy could pass through, and humor that looked like something you might expect from a soft-core porn film. This movie is just plain bad.

pretty mucht:

well I did see "push" " wolverine" and that " chun-li" movie Those where worse, but not by much

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Anybody want to tackle my humor question?
About why it was not more PC? More child friendly?

I don't think Bay has ever gone for PC in his films

Personally I would have wanted a middle ground. Not too juvenile but at the same time not too child friendly and ESPECIALLY not PC.

Because PG humor tends to be safe, and turns a lot of people off. There's a reason the most successful comedies are either pandering kids movies or pandering raunchfests on some level. It's not like there's nothing but toilet humor in ROTF.

 

[Anti-Moderator]

I don't see how anyone could sit through this movie without a fast forward button. Someone should just edit all the robot fighting scenes together. I would buy a copy of that. The twins weren't as bad as I thought they would be...Sam's folks were more annoying than they were. The robots looked unbelievable....not design wise, but they were realistic for sure. Whoever wrote the dialog for the humans should have a brick thrown at them. The Transformers had the best dialogue for sure....they should have had alot more. Prime was awesome, Megs and Starscream were great together but the Fallen was lame and so was the "Apprentice and Master" BS. Megatron bows to NOBODY!! At least mine does.

Yes people do have the right to share their opinions whether they are postive or negative. I am not attacking you personaly Batman but I think its really stupid to go call people demeaning names because their opinions differ from yours. Thats just uncalled for and immature. I disliked Wolverine but I did not go into the wolverine boards and called people names because they might have liked it. I posted my opinions about the movie in a polite manner and moved on. I mean whats the point in staying in the boards if I hated the movie? Share your opinons on why you hated it and move on to a movie that you may like you know.


I have come the conclusion that people who HATE Micheal Bay will HATE any movie that he does. If Bay tones down the humor and has a dark serious storyline in Transformers 3 haters will Still find something to cry and whine about. Its simple you can't please everybody. Some of the humor in these movies can be cringe worthy but I think the goal with the humor is to entertain people but hey like I said you cant please
everybody.

Edit Something else that came to me Why in the world would anyone who disliked the first film go and see the second movie in the first place? It does not take a rocket scientist to conclude that if you disliked the first movie its most likely that you will dislike the second movie as well. Its common sense people lol seriously.

 

[CelticPredator]

I wont lie. Being negative is fun as hell. I enjoyed trashing Wolverine on the other boards...but I would NEVER insult anyone. Unlike like AE. So he needs to go. No he isnt allowed to express his opinion that way.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

The irony of the whole situation is that I actually liked the first one...
Also, I think CP means AB not AE...

 

[Anti-Moderator]

Soundwave sounding like Dr. Claw was a letdown too. The synthesized voice Soundwave had was one of the things that made him cool. The absence of it was strange...it almost feels like the creators of this franchise change things just for the sake of change.

Good times!

 

[LinDuh]

Wouldn't it be so awesome if the cars of today were able to transform into autobots?

Haha, that brings back fond memories of watching the first Transformers. After the movie was over and we were driving home, a semi was driving next to the car, and we're like, "Gosh it's like it's about to transform right in front of us!" Cars and trucks were never the same for quite some time. Good times.

how can expectations be to low?

 

[Spider-Jay]

Just got back from the movie.

There were some excellent moments (i.e. awesome forest fight, the robots were cool as expected) but I'd be lying if I didn't say this was the most disappointing sequel since Spider-Man 3 for me personally. Too much time was wasted on stupid scenes like the ones involving the parents, Leo, and close-ups of Megan Fox and Alice. When I go to see Transformers, I want to see actual Transformers. If I want to stare at girls I have the internet and porn for that, thanks.

Also, why the hell did they substitute Ironhide, and Ratchet for the Twins. Seriously.

4/10

Has anyone? t:

Armageddon, directed by Michael Bay. that was truly awful.

I enjoyed the first movie immensely. Transformers 2 was lousy filmmaking & terrible storytelling and yet, so very very entertaining.

 

[StreetWarrior]

I've seen the film twice now and I have to say that it's not great, but definitely not bad. Transformers 1 was still better . I'd give ROTF a 7/10. However, this film looks like "Citizen Kane" when compared to Wolverine. Anyone throwing a fit over this film's plot holes should NEVER watch that one.

Here's hoping for a Transformers 3!!!

 

[Red Mask]

Harry Potter is kicking Transformers 2 out of the theaters here, including the IMAX. Just out of curiousity how does Tranformers 2 compare to:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2 hrs. 49 min.)
2. Ten Commandments (1956; starring Charlton Heston, 3hrs & 40 min.)
3. Spider-Man 3 (2hrs, 19 min.)
4. King Kong (2005; 3 hrs & 7 min.)

 

[SsM]

King Kong bored me to death.

 

[CelticPredator]

I saw it 3 times in the theater......

 

[notinagoodmood]

I loved this movie

 

[SsM]

So, when you cheer up... are you going to change your name?
