Did I mention that Devastator is going to be in the movie?
Because it's going to be totally off the fucking HOOK.
Awesome.

They should just show Megan Fox in various poses for 90 minutes and leave out those silly robots.

I think we can all agree that G1 > all other Gs.
However, this does not reduce the awesomeness of this movie.
It could've been more awesome, sure.
But then again, do we REALLY want to watch a movie and be at risk of having our heads LITERALLY blown off by sheer force of awesomeness?
Meh, Megan Fox looks like a tawdry hussy. I couldent enjoy it due to her presence, but a friend of mine is excited.

This movie is getting panned by the critics. It's going to suck balls.
Quote from: Roger Ebert on June 22, 2009, 12:21:40 PM
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.
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 Starscream®, 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, however, reported that it "feels destined to be the biggest movie of all time" (Todd Gilchrist, Cinematical). It's certainly the biggest something of all time.
QuoteThe plot is incomprehensible
Reviewers say this alot about summer blockbusters, but most of the times I'm able to easily follow the plot so I just ignore them when they say this.
QuoteThere are many great-looking babes in the film
Damn it they made it impossible for me to notice the robots in the last film.

'There were Transformers?'

I really wonder how much they use CGI to make people look different in movies nowadays.
And cameras can be really deceiving with looks too. E.g. some actresses that look great on camera are dwarves. Natalie Portman or Kylie Minogue (well not an actress but you know what I mean) for example.

Photoshop is the greatest evil in that respect, IMO.
I'm completely convinced. The reviewers are wrong.
1. Who cares if the plot is crap, this is The Transformers, not Hamlet. The plot is good enough.
2. This is a Bay epic with a two hour long chase sequence. But then again, this is completely consistent with a normal Transformers Cartoon episode.
3. The sexiest thing in this movie is not Megan Fox, it is the Prime reborn. Prime is not only the star he is the sexiest thing on screen. I have a man-crush on Optimus Prime.
Well. I was entertained.
A few minor grievances, but all in all it was a fantastic movie.
I thus stand by my initial assertion: Totally Fucking Awesome.

MEGA SPOILERS:
So, the movie was GREAT, the battles were great. Even if the last one was very OVERKILL.
I loved seeing a fucking aircarrier beeing sinked.
The CGI was flawless.
Megan Fox was great :wub:
I really didn't like that they could bend space-time continum(sp) going from Gizah to Petra to the red sea in 10 seconds.
I loved the twins, they were funny as hell.
The plot, well, It's a Robot movie, what would one expect?

he dies again?

Very funny and action packed.
The plot was very linear and simple, a 12 year old could follow it.
The plot was so convoluted even a 12 year old on ritalin could be unable to make sense of it.
:huh: Seriously? It was a simple series of get the MacGuffin, just about the least complex plot there's possible to have.
The only Get the MacGuffin I saw was at the end.
Nr 1 Get the Shard
Nr 2 Find Jetfire
Nr 3 Find the tomb of the Primes
Nr 4 Get the Matrix to Optimus Prime
Must have missed them, I was struck by the awesome dialog like the mother telling a group of college girls abuto Sam 'just getting his cherry popped! He didn't know I was still in the house!"

She was stoned, I love whoever that actress is, very funny in my opinion.
Like I said, if they had cut 45 minutes out of it, dropped the lame ass Autobot Twins - and I'm surprised no one is shouting racism after what amounts to a minstrel show there - it wouldn't have been a bad summer movie.

You obviously haven't looked on the net very hard.

You knew this because you had to ask the 12-year-old next to you what was going on? :P

I saw one reviewer call them "Sambots."
I guess I don't get the idea that just because a movie has giant robots in it, it is required to suck. I think it is possible to make a good movie about anything. Please explain to me how giant robots mean you are required to have bad writing, poor acting, and nonsensical plots.
I mean these are still professional actors and writers. They should do a good job regardless of what the subject of the film is, especially if it is a big budget film.

She's reasonably attractive, but it's not like she's the hottest thing in the universe or anything.
:yes: besides, I can see hotter on the internet for free, I don't have to go spend money on a movie to see a hot girl. :mono:
An awful film.
While so many of its elements simply failed beyond hopelessness, one stands out in particular: the script. An action film needs suspense. It needs to convey a sense of peril and of urgency. Unfortunately, by taking every possible opportunity to throw in a throw away joke, they undermined any suspense. The most egregious example of this was the police check in Jordan. Instead of tension, we have a fucking dwarf.
