Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

Recommended Posts

Roger Ebert's review:

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.

I hold it against the people who told me the first one was good. I'm with this guy.

I can only imagine the people who said it was excellent were saying it was excellent in it's awfulness. It's got to be awful, it's just some people can accept and enjoy that awfulness.

I think I suffered through the first one up to the point where the robot is standing there preaching to the main character on how mankind is inherently violent, despite the fact that he has cannons mounted on his arm.

I didn't like it. Way too long. Some parts waay to cheesy like his dad yelling at him in Egypt. I won't say horrible but the first is much better. The roommate could be erased he is worthless. The story had potential to be good but they messed this up somehow. It well, the third is slated to come out July 1 2011.

I thought it was awesome. Saw it at 3am in Imax wed morning. Wish there was more of the Audi and the Corvette. Damn those cars are hot. I really wish they would do away with all of the humans though. I'm hearing that the 3rd one, which is not july 1st 2011, but July 4th 2012, would be more of an intergalatic thing, and Unicron might be in it.

Seems like you either love it or hate it. I'm glad that I loved it though. I have been pretty much knee deep with the movie development (without being officially involved), and after hearing a lot of the nerd rage, it seems like so many parts people didn't like were overblown to me. Either way, I need to see it a bunch more times, and in IMAX as well.

Writers expressed interest in bringing Unicron and possibly the dinobots into the third, but I don't know if I'd want them in it. As long as he doesn't get the Galactus treatment, I guess I would be cool with Unicron, but it would all depend on how they brought him into the story.

SO FUCKING BAD.

Summed it up quite nicely. I really enjoyed the first movie, but this one was pure shit. What is with the inane toilet humor? I don't care if I spoil this, but dogs humping, leg humping robots, giant devastator balls, scrotum jokes and the Jar-jar brothers doing their best prince of malibu accents was just awful.

"this review is just two words: Shit sandwich"

I wanted to love it really badly. The first movie was one of my favorites of last year but I think that was mainly because it was much more believable. I particularly found the military response sooo unbelievable... human life being essentially wasted in fights against Decepticons they knew they couldn't win? The a-hole inspector was actually right in that regard. That and there was a lot more character development in the first. Again, I wanted to like the movie very badly, but it needed to be much better done.

Well, I went and saw it today. I love the Transformers, still have all the original generation one toys. When I go to a Transformers' movie I want to see a movie about the Transformers, not one about distance relationships and couples' trust issues. That was way too big a part of the movie, which overall was too long any way. The combat scenes were pretty intense and really the only part of the movie I enjoyed was the Transformers' story line.

I also agree there was just too much dirty humor and it was over the top. I realize there are a lot of late 20's/30 year old seeing these because we grew up with the Transformers, but there's a large segment of new fans who are kids. The dog humping was gross, the robot humping Megan Fox's leg was just over the top. I think the scene with Devastator's balls would have been a funny nod to the more mature audience if they had left it at that. When you toss in the "I'm under his scrotum" comment, just over the top. I know in the original movie the Transformers said "damn" and "shit," but they got carried away with the foul language. I also agree the Twins were just too Jar-jar Binkseque. I've seen 50's cartoons with a better treatment of racial issues than that.
