Movie Review: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

Anatoray · 06-24-2009, 02:20 PM

Eh... It's a Michael Bay film, that's for sure. Worse than Star Trek; better than Terminator 4. I give it 2/4 stars because it's entertaining, but is by no means bad or great.

Apparently I hate movies with a story line - sounds like Transformers 2 is right up my ally. Are there any new cars in the movie that won't be released for like 10 years again?

I cannot wait to test your comment. Thus far Star Trek has been the best movie this summer....

I have heard nothing good about this movie until this thread. Hopefully we Z people just aren't easily amused.

edit: i just happened upon this:
by Roger Ebert

"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.

It's a movie guys! No need to get all deep into it. If you don't like it, then simply don't watch it... Some people will like it, some people won't. Oh freakin well lol!
I loved the movie. Was it perfect? No, but I still enjoyed it a lot! There's my 2 cents!

I'm hopping in my Bumble"Z" and rolling out lol!

Oh and BTW Robert ebert probably loved the movie "Brokeback Mountain" for it's dialog... I went there!

well i never seen any star trek movies or show before the new star trek. just saying that i still like transformer 2 more. its just my preference.

...ok just for reference this is a movie based on a cartoon from the early '80s. I haven't seen it yet but if that's the premise it can only be improved like 10,000x from the original cartoon

ok. just came back from the IMAX showing. F all the critics. I think this was better than the first one. devastator, soundwave, optimus combining with another robot at the end, sideswipe (corvette concept), megan fox, and a whole slew of other robots.

Again, didn't go into the movie looking for an academy award winner.

I tried to go see it tonight but all viewings were sold out from 7pm-10pm around my area. Will try again later today (thursday).

And this is why, regardless of what you think of its quality, another Transformers movie, and more movies like it, will be made.

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 saw it yesterday... and I thought it was good as the first one... I rate the movie overall a 8 on a scale of 1-10 and 10 being great.
