Revenge of the Fallen Transformers: ROTF User Review Thread

[nite-owl]

To all the haters of this movie. Why do you feel the need to insult people's intelligence for liking this movie? I like the first transformers movie better than the second but I still enjoyed it. Transformers 2 is not the best movie ever nor is it on par with Ironman or TDK. Yes it has many flaws but there is still some entertaining aspects to it that people may like. I am in college with a 2.8 grade point average (was a 3.0 but messed up in a particularly hard class) I am a dumbass for liking this movie? I think not its a matter of opinion.

It goes both ways, why do the people who like the movie acuse the one's who don't of being some sort of art house nazi?

is it true that Megan Fox was pissed cause Bay didn't give her barely any lines?

C'mon now, you know that those who like the movie have been getting it much worse than those who hate it.

I like the movie. Yet, I don't go around questioning your intelligence and/or taste in movies because you didn't...haters however, that's the first thing they go after.

 

[nite-owl]

I don't mean to be rude but have you got examples of this.

 

[Ipodman]

So whos the human-sized robot who was formed with balls that dropped out of Ravage's mouth? Laserbreak? Insecticons?

 

[omid17]

^think it was a Constructicon

Examples of what? Me liking the film and getting ripped to shreds about it? Do you really want me to do that?

Now you know how the people who thought Wolverine was alright felt. If you dare like these movies it means you have the brain capacity of a 5 year old.

I won't insult someone if they like a certain film. But seriously, this film was terrible. It was like a ADHD suffering teenagers wet dream.

nice way to put it

 

[Ipodman]

I loved Wolverine but this film was just average for me. Lots of exciting action sequences, but other than that it was terrible

I seem to be in the minority, but I enjoyed ROTF and was surprised at how much I did, considering how much I loathed the original. ROTF wasn't perfect and needed work in a lot of areas, but I found it to be an entertaining timewaster and what I'd expect from a big-budget Summer blockbuster. I'll buy it when it's on DVD. I enjoyed the action scenes and the Transformers, and was never bored throughout. I didn't even mind the human characters. I could've done without a lot of the humor and felt some of the Transformers were too underused, but overall it wasn't a bad effort, IMO. I'm torn between a 6/10 or 7/10 for it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

There is no doubt in my mind that TF-2 has some of the best action scenes ever put to film.

But it's pretty much EVERYTHING else that is utter ****e. It's like Bay was trying to appeal to the stoner/bro crowd, which isn't a very good idea. Especially when you clearly have no clue how stoned people act. Seriously, I wanted to rip my own teeth out of head because of how annoying Sam's mum was. Stoned people don't act like that.

 

[Ipodman]

Wait till TF3 where Leo gets more screen time.... aaahhh!

Anyway, Devastator/Constructicons were certainly underused... there was some build up but we didnt get to see the contructicons function individually... and what happened to it in the end anyway?

 

[Punisher Rising]

I thought some of the humor was grating, but for some reason most of it didn't tick me off more than the original. There were some groan-inducing moments for sure, but most weren't bad enough to hamper my enjoyment of the movie (I certainly could've done without Simmons' underpants and the bathroom bit though, ugh. Bay seems to have a thing for scat-related humor in his movies).

The Fallen was definitely criminally underused, for his name being in the title I felt his screentime and presence didn't justify the title. A damn shame, for he had potential to be a remarkable villain. At least he was quite good for the little screentime he got, and they couldn't have picked a better performer (Tony Todd) for him.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Tony Todd's voice work was bad ass Makes me remember Candyman. I used to be **** scared of that movie when I was a kid.

 

[Punisher Rising]

Candyman is the best. Always loved that movie and enjoyed the second film as well (third one is awful though, ugh. Steer clear of the third one). I got chills hearing Todd's voicework as The Fallen.

Spoiler

It's doubtful The Fallen can be resurrected for the third film, which is a shame since he was woefully underused in this movie. One major flaw the film had for sure. For a film titled Revenge Of The Fallen, the movie didn't use him well enough to justify such a title.

 

[omid17]

its sad the twins got more screen time than the Fallen

 

[Punisher Rising]

I found the Twins surprisingly enjoyable despite the negative press they were getting, but I wholeheartedly agree The Fallen was underused badly. Why title the movie Revenge Of The Fallen when he doesn't get his revenge for very long?

 

[omid17]

i know Bay wanted Optimus to win this final fight, cuz prime almost got raped by Megatron in the first one, but only lasted about 30 sec which is a damn shame

 

[Punisher Rising]

The final battle should've been at least ten minutes long and been a truly epic brawl where Prime, Megatron and The Fallen use all of their powers and abilities to their maximum potential. Would've been killer to have gotten

I still enjoyed the movie, but there's lots of room for improvement for sure.

 

[omid17]

yup it would have been awesome to see Upgraded Prime against Megs and Fallen
