Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

[t3hDarkness]

If its reviews get any lower, I might be able to set my expectations to a level where I can watch it.

[Bomby]

Good for him. I'm still seeing it.

I will not allow any critic (even Roger Ebert) to effect my choosing of what films to see (since the only opinion of the film that truly matters to me is my own).

You're seeing North?

Hmm... I guess I should've made it more obvious that the Ebert quote I posted was not about Transformers.

I agree with you completely on the second part. Ebert has given negative reviews to some films I love dearly. And occasionally, he's given positive reviews to films I disliked. Overall, I was not a big fan of the first Transformers, and unless it was getting absolutely glowing reviews from many critics, I probably wouldn't see it, as I admit to an overall bias toward small, personal art films over big-budget Hollywood blockbusters.

AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS

It was a terrible, terrible movie. In fact, I don't even want to discuss it right now. Give me a few days for it to wash out of my system. I feel like I have to go take a shower, it was so bad. I've never walked out on a movie before, and I came close to walking out almost 3 or 4 times. And I regret not doing it every single time.

Don't watch it. Save the money, go see Up or something, whatever. Just don't see it. Retain your knowledge of the fun that the first one was, and do not see this movie.

This is the only music I can use that can sum up this entire movie:

Prime doesn't say something stupid along the lines of "My bad" like he did in the first movie, right?

Question: Do they at least use the theme this time?

I mean it's not like they've recorded a new version of it for the last one.

[Marilink]

I can't remember it. "Heart of Gold" by Niel You...wait, not that, I mean, "21 Guns" by Green Day was in, like, 4 different scenes though. So it's gotta be good!

I admit to an overall bias toward small, personal art films over big-budget Hollywood blockbusters.

I try to make room for both (though I would see more indie than art films)

[Bomby]

Most small, personal art films are indies, anyways. Of course, there's always the anomaly of Apocalypse Now, which was a big budget personal artsy blockbuster... but that was the 70's, where Hollywood was actually backing more "personal" films.

8 Spoilerific Reasons To Avoid Transformers 2

Michael Bay bored of action movies - Yahoo! News UK

Interesting.

[CaptHayfever]

"Heart of Gold" is a Neil Young song, ML, not Neil Diamond.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[Marilink]

Oh, good catch. I knew what I meant.

[Greenmarioman]

Saw it. The action was ok, but the jokes were horrible. Those two stupid bucktoothed robots are just annoying.

[spoiler]My favorite part was when that female robot was chasing them through the campus. It was cool that the robot made itself look human. That's the last thing I would've suspected.

And what was the deal with those 3 motorcycle robots? They're apparently female, and they show them breifly in like, 3 scenes, and they get smashed to bits at the end. No point in them.[/spoiler]

[Sean P Kelly]

The film wasn't perfect, but I thought that it was entertaining.

Oh and Godot

[Calamity Panfan]

^ I thought that article contained part of the story from "Breast Wars"

[Sean P Kelly]

^ I pray to god you mean Beast Wars

[Calamity Panfan]

I read it as "Breast Wars", I knew it was Beast Wars though, as that was one of my favorite shows when I was younger.

[spoiler]ROBOTS TURNING INTO HUMANS

HOW THE **** DOES THAT WORK

I'LL TELL YOU: IT DOESN'T. Especially in the Transformers universe. If they can turn into humans, then why the **** would they ever want to be anything else? You could get so much goddamn espionage done that way, but no. They prefer being gi-****ing-gantic cranes and ****. ****.

They can transform into humans, they can TELEPORT, they can survive on ****ing FROZEN PLANETS THAT DON'T HAVE A SUN

GRAAAAAHHH[/spoiler]

I mean it's not like they've recorded a new version of it for the last one.

Whoever did that mix sounded like a total *****. They should've got Rob Zombie to do it.

Why can't we have opening themes like this anymore:

Yeah, the 90's had some pretty badass intros. All of the Dini-verse ones (Batman and Superman TAS, Justice League, and the most hardcore, Batman Beyond) were all awesome.
