Originally posted by Invasionmix Anyways, according to rottentomatoes.com the movie for 28% rating. Apparently they're comparing this movie to 'Batman & Robin' for being a really bad sequel.

lol what else can one expect with the original being a piece of shit too

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok I went and saw it last night myself. I have to agree with Cam the attempt of humour especially with the mother was wayyyyyyy over the top. Like I give a fuck that she wants to go skinny dipping and how she was reacting to ingesting weed. Fuck!

Megatron is a pussy.
Fallen is a pussy.
The fight halfway through the movie where prime dies is better that the "epic" final battle.
Sam dies and is brought back to life by robots??????
Cheesy attempt to a love story by the poor acting of Megan Fox.

Highlights all the slow motion running action scenes of Megan Fox running and the jigglies, lol.

Now I saw the Hangover, WHAT A FUCKING HILARIOUS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!! Definalty going to be buying that one on Blu-Ray.

After being submitted to the p.o.s that is the first movie; I wouldn't watch this even if somebody paid me to do it. Apparently it's over 2 hours?? LOL I know I'd end up walking out of the theatre mid-way through the movie.

sounds like another movie ruined by too much shiny CGI, not enough substance and good storyline

seriously. stupid moviegoers wanting just pure action films ruined movie industry forever

as long as you got a lot of stuff getting blown up and lots of violence, plus couple of hot chicks, who cares about the story or the acting?

It's entertainment for the lowest common denominator. Michael Bay should be shot. Transformers could've been such a good franchise if he didn't completely rape it with his stupid storylines, atrocious acting, even worse camera work. In fact, whoever handed this moron a camera should be shot too. On top of all that the action scenes blow too.

I went with my friend and her sons to see this yesterday and it's pretty bad when a 7 year old isn't impressed

Visually it's enjoyable but where was the storyline!? Where was the epic battle at the end?! Not really sure what the deal with that fallen bit was but it would've been nice if they touched on it more versus the little explanation and a few scenes involving them.

Also that scene where Megan and Shia are kissing goodbye and the camera just keep spinning around them.....wtf was that?

Megan Fox needs to die a freaky thumb related death.

gonna watch this on thursday...

about the whole fallen thing, I guess you'd have to have read the 12 comics that cover this...

Transformers: Reign of Starscream
Transformers: Alliance
Transformers: Defiance

That's just Michael Bay being Michael Bay. When I first heard about that scene I felt like throwing up.

more weak than the first one....and the first one was weak.

I still had a boner seeing the robots though.

what a waste of time,

apart from the no story line, too many one liners, lack of good directing and things not making sense....

i couldn't tell the decepticons apart! they all look like spikey gundams

I really liked the first one.

This one was REALLY bad.

- Too much humour
- Horrible HORRIBLE script (my personal 'favourite' was when the old coot finished his story then sent them off with the whole cliche, "Now GO! Go and fulfill your DESTINY!", omg)
- Every bad guy was a wimp. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Optimus get damn-lucky against Megatron in the first movie, why the hell was he such a weakling in part 2?
- His mom's reaction to eating the weed-brownie? Give me a break, it took like, what, 2 minutes to kick in then she starts running around like... like... I don't even know what to call that kinda high... Drunk on E? She was SOOOO not stoned.
- Megan Fox wasn't naked
- The other hot chick grew a tail just at the best ass-shot in the movie.
- They didn't introduce a single new character. Just kinda, put em in the movie and let em roll with it.
- Did I mention the script was horrible?



Bah, so much wrong with this movie. But at least it was better than Spiderman 3.

And T4!

The blonde decepticon was smoking. Best ass shot of the movie. Those eyes + lips are killer! I love psycho chicks.

Megatron is a pussy. - agreed
Fallen is a pussy. - agreed

Sam dies and is brought back to life by robots?????? - i think it was a vision, but that was the low point in the movie for me
Cheesy attempt to a love story by the poor acting of Megan Fox. - hey don't diss the fox lol seriously thou, shes eye candy that i can forgive for pour acting

Hangover kicked ass
i have a feeling gi joe might acturally be good, or a giant FAIL, time will tell

about sam coming back to life...cmon there are plenty other movies where we willingly accept resurrection..lol (matrix anyone?)


as for people complaining about the story being loaded with too much, unfortunately you have to have read the prequel comics..

well they fucked up the original cartoon in teh fourth season by making daniel (sam/spike's son) becoming paralyzed from the waist down and he has to live in arcee's head. (I try to neglect the fourth season and continue on into the japanese series).

So sam/spike reviving shouldn't be too much of a shock

It's fine if you want to put a lot in the story but at least do it WELL. That was just poor writing.

I still wet my panties from some of the visuals though. Did they actually film in Shanghai at all or just use the studio?

But Neo was "The One" and he only died INSIDE the Matrix. When he dies in the real world, there's no resurrection.

As for your second point, it's a poor excuse to say "Oh, well, you had to read the books" to attempt to justify a horrible movie. Just like "The Watchmen", it should have been done properly, or not at all.

on the first one, well if neo died "only" inside the matrix, then the none of the others should have died via le matrix...non?

and well yea i read the watchmen comics so it was alright for me but you might want to watch the animated comics (which is basically the comics BROUGHT TO LIFEZZZZZ) and enjoy that...

no it IS pretty stupid that you should read up on the prequels before a movie but otherwise had they incorporated the comics in it, it would've been way too long and way too much to handle

I had to watch it again with the GF this time ... everything in the movie runs super smooth and etc. BUT, when SkyFire comes in and teleports everyone to Eygpt ... it went all down hill from there. I was watching everyone's facial expression when all the shitty parts came up, no one seemed happy.

No, because he is "The One", he's the only one who's able to separate the Matrix from reality! DUH!

So the others didn't have the mental capacity to separate their real-world selves from the control the Matrix had on their minds, but Neo did.

BOOYA!

Just saw this last night in IMAX - enjoyed it. Was as bad as I thought it would be.

So you can believe in transforming robot aliens, but you can't believe in that?

Just because we suspend our disbelief about gigantic robots from outer space doesn't mean we should expect humans to be able to breathe underwater or teleport at will too.

In the comics, do other Transformers have transporter technology? If they don't, then why? You'd think the Decepticons would kill for it.

well jetfire/skyfire was a decepticon and in the original cartoons was a transporter for the autobots....there was a space bridge too in it so I guess they just incorporated the space bridge into a special power for him

just watched it in IMAX and liked it...you dont walk into a michael bay film hoping for the movie to keep you at the edge of your seats or have your mind go crazy...

my main beef is the fact that someone forgot to think about which characters were doing what....the constructicons were in the midst of the battle (blatantly notice long haul and mixmaster) while devastator was climbing up the pyramid...hello?
