Movie Review: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

MetalPiotr · 06-25-2009, 10:27 AM

I saw it last night and think it was horrible.

tvfreakazoid · 06-25-2009, 01:46 PM

Don't really care for it. I hated the first one expect for megan and the special effects. Other than that it was like watching the 3 stooges but robot form and it wasn't funny. If I was a 5 year old i might of liked it. When I first saw the previews I was expecting something more, different, not a slap stick comedy, jar jar binks wanna be, jive talkin horrid acting if there were any, and crappy writing. Hell they should of had the waynes brother directed it then maybe it would of been funny. If i get to see it for free i may check it out. But that's my half a cent.

And you are so right. Most people don't care for quality.

If you want better movies to be made, then don't give 'em your $10. And convince everyone you can not to either.

And yes, this thread belongs in the Lounge.

I was a fan of the cartoon and I'm curious how did devastater look? Was it some what similiar to the cartoon (probably not). Or was that robot even in the movie.

Action movies don't need to act well to be successful. Not really a hard concept to understand.

tvfreakazoid · 06-26-2009, 02:01 PM

maybe not for mindless people, i prefer to have a little something so that i can watch it. Not saying it has to be some Martin Scorsese or Stanley Kubrick movies. You can make a movie that has excellent action and some good acting and writing (startrek with JJ, the dark knight to name a couple).

But I guess since hollywood knows that people don't care for quality they just keep doing it. Oh well what can you do.

<<SKIP THIS SECTION for Movie Review>>
So yesterday, I went to go watch it with my friends, after not being able to go watch it in IMAX, (the real IMAX, not the fake AMC ones). We settled to just watch it in regular movie theater. I went to the Regal at Weslayan, and well the movie started off with bad sound, in the theater, almost as if they were underwater. None of us could understand what the robots were saying. Then during the big fight scene towards the end a "power surge" shuts down the movie. Upon resume to be followed by more bad sound.
<<MOVIE Review>>
But as far the movie goes, well i think it was a pathetic attempt. First one was better, but just out of curiousity when was there a TERMINATOR decepticon? The twin robots (i have no clue who they were suppose to be) were annoying along with the kazillion "so-called comedy" that Michael Bay tried to shove down her mouth. Also umm devastator was utterly F-ed up. Im sorry if this is nothing but a long rant, i grew up watching Transformers, and i loved it to death, and for them to ruin such a perfectly hollywood-capable movie...is just plain ridiculous. And to think i was gonna watch it in IMAX.

Hey atleast i got a free re-admission movie ticket for the whole fiasco!

arcticreaver · 06-26-2009, 03:18 PM

going to be watching this movie tomorrow in IMAX.

matt2112 · 06-26-2009, 03:36 PM

saw it last night, and it was one of the WORST movies i've ever seen. too long, nonsensical story, and horrible acting (especially megan fox... at least shes hot).

btw, anyone else notice the old decepticon looked and sounded exactly like the davy jones character from pirates of the caribbean? strange...

We had 'Fathers Day' here in the UK last Sunday and my son 'treated' us all to go see the Transformers movie - because he wanted to see it (lol).

...After 15 minutes my wife was asleep.

...3/4 of the way through the movie my wife turned to me and said, "Do you know what's going on?".

...personally, it just seemed like a lot of CGI stuff - cars changing into robots all the time (and I mean ALL THE TIME, non stop).

...there was one very convincing bit, where army vehicles, such as tanks, tumbled down the side of the Great Pyramid at Giza.

...the main female actress seems only to be able to act with the excessive injection of collogen that has been implanted in her top lip (and lip-acts very well).

...my son and my daughter's b/f loved it.

...my peanut M&M's were lovely.

I liked it. I go in expecting to see robots fighting and Megan Fox.

It's a PG-13 action-adventure movie, so you can't have too high of expectations. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Yeah, you're right, but it was about an hour too long. This is a great straight-to-dvd-rental movie. I was actually hoping one of the Decepticons would impale me so that I could leave the movie early...my wife felt the same way.

Good for you; but confirmed for me. Star Trek was better.

This movie left me hollow, tired, and worn out. I should have safed my money and taken wife and girls to a movie they would all appreciate instead of leaving my girls w/my brother while my wife and I blew $15 bucks.

Should have rented this.

I'll go see it, going to wait for the mad rush to be over
