Transfomers: Revenge of the Fallen


Recommended Posts

So I saw this yesterday. We here in the UK (not sure about anywhere else) get it one week before everyone in the U.S. so I thought I'd share my thoughts.

 

The first film was pretty entertaining, and the novelty factor of seeing GIANT ROBOTS doing that transforming thing that they do was great to watch. Whilst Revenge of the Fallen has some entertaining set pieces, Michael Bay has gone way OTT in this film, and the results are often, I'm sorry to say, kind of boring at times.

 

The humour, which did hit the mark a few times in the first film, isn't funny, it's annoying. The 'crazy parents' should have had much less screen time, and some of the dialogue is atrocious. The plot is weighed down by exposition, it wanders at points, and this causes the film to sag. Some of the action scenes, whilst kinetic, have too much going on in them, and you kind of stop caring. Oh, and whoever is responsible for the jive-talking autobot twins should hang their head in shame.

 

Entertaining in bursts, but the first one's better.

I saw it yesterday, and I agree with everything you said. Enjoyable in bursts, but far too long, and far too much....everything. Less is more, Michael Bay, less is more...

 

On the plus side, you get to see:

A giant pair of decepticon testicles

Yeah, it could have done with about 30mins being chopped off.

Word indeed, though a lot of people registering their disgust on the interwebs seem to see that particular shot as the damning indictment of this movies target audience/bad humour display.

cgi set pieces were quite breathtaking. shia did an alright job. everything else was a michael bay shitfest.

 

i didn't like how the mum started acting crazily drunk and wild five minutes after eating the marijuana brownies, that was completely stupid.

Yes, this actually happens. Michael bay harnessed the power of cutting-edge CGI, combined with an astronomical budget, and decided its best use was:

A giant pair of decepticon testicles

Yes, could you please comment on how Megan Fox looked and if she gets naked and runs around a steamy woman's locker room in slow motion or anything to that effect?

the only thing i'm really looking forward to, besides Fox's ass is:

 

Optimus Prime combining with Jetfire, and maybe the Constructicons. Soundwave doesn't even transform into his robot form, WTF?
