Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen

Repentless · Jun 24, 2009

I just got back from the premier and it is the most epic movie ever.

Really funny too, I laughed my ass off. My friend thought it was funnier than The Hangover, but I can't vouch for that because I haven't seen it yet.

I'd say more but I don't want to give away any spoilers.

I'm going to watch it tomorrow night, can't wait!

I was going to go to the premiere with some friends, but one of my friends drove past and said there were people camping for tickets. >.<

Kiabin · Jun 24, 2009

Im fucking pissed. I was going to the premier but I didn't get paid.

Daily · Jun 24, 2009

I saw it last night. Best action movie I've seen in a while, not extremely funny but the CGI was AMAZING.

I'll probably have my dad record it when it comes out on DVD =P

From the reviews I've seen so far, most don't like it:

Roger Ebert said:

"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.

The plot is incomprehensible. The dialog of the Autobots, Deceptibots and Otherbots is meaningless word flap. Their accents are Brooklyese, British and hip-hop, as befits a race from the distant stars. Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up. They are dumb as a rock. They share the film with human characters who are much more interesting, and that is very faint praise indeed.

The movie has been signed by Michael Bay. This is the same man who directed "The Rock" in 1996. Now he has made "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Faust made a better deal. This isn't a film so much as a toy tie-in. Children holding a Transformer toy in their hand can invest it with wonder and magic, imagining it doing brave deeds and remaining always their friend. I knew a little boy once who lost his blue toy truck at the movies, and cried as if his heart would break. Such a child might regard "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" with fear and dismay.

The human actors are in a witless sitcom part of the time, and lot of the rest of their time is spent running in slo-mo away from explosions, although--hello!--you can't outrun an explosion. They also make speeches like this one by John Turturro: "Oh, no! The machine is buried in the pyramid! If they turn it on, it will destroy the sun! Not on my watch!" The humans, including lots of U.S. troops, shoot at the Transformers a lot, although never in the history of science fiction has an alien been harmed by gunfire.

There are many great-looking babes in the film, who are made up to a flawless perfection and look just like real women, if you are a junior fanboy whose experience of the gender is limited to lad magazines. The two most inexplicable characters are Ron and Judy Witwicky (Kevin Dunn and Julie White), who are the parents of Shia LaBeouf, who Mephistopheles threw in to sweeten the deal. They take their son away to Princeton, apparently a party school, where Judy eats some pot and goes berserk. Later they swoop down out of the sky on Egypt, for reasons the movie doesn't make crystal clear, so they also can run in slo-mo from explosions.

The battle scenes are bewildering. A Bot makes no visual sense anyway, but two or three tangled up together create an incomprehensible confusion. I find it amusing that creatures that can unfold out of a Camaro and stand four stories high do most of their fighting with...fists. Like I say, dumber than a box of staples. They have tiny little heads, except for one who is so ancient he has an aluminum beard.

Aware that this movie opened in England seven hours before Chicago time and the morning papers would be on the streets, after writing the above I looked up the first reviews as a reality check. I was reassured: "Like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan!" (Bradshaw, Guardian); "Sums up everything that is most tedious, crass and despicable about modern Hollywood!" (Tookey, Daily Mail); "A giant, lumbering idiot of a movie!" (Edwards, Daily Mirror). The first American review, Todd Gilchrist of Cinematical, reported that Bay's "ambition runs a mile long and an inch deep," but, in a spirited defense, says "this must be the most movie I have ever experienced." He is bullish on the box office: it "feels destined to be the biggest movie of all time." It’s certainly the biggest something of all time.

The amount of robots really added to the confusion of the movie. Don't get me wrong, the action parts are probably the best ones I have seen.

Another problem I have is that the fighting abilities of the Decepticons are BURIED in this movie. They were destroyed by simple human weapons as well as overpowered Autobots. That's all I got to say.

DragonGuard · Jun 24, 2009

From what I hear, compared to the first one... This blows.

T.G.I.Friday · Jun 24, 2009

Wtf? This Movie Was Fucking Beast?
Meagan Fox and Her fine ass.
And Optimus Fucking Megatron and Fallen Up. At the Same Time?
They Had a Few New Robots.
The Movie is Fucking Hilarious.
If you Didn't See it then you Shouldn't Comment. Don't Listen what People Say. Go see it.
