[Movie] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I'm pretty sure this had been stated two years ago when the first Transformers movie came out, but...it's giant robots fighting each other and wrecking the shit out of everything.

If you want something deep and something you can discuss for HOURS on end with your other pretentious butt-fucking buddies on how the world is YOUR OYSTER, then I suggest you go watch a movie that...you know...claims to actually be deep and philosophical.

I saw it yesterday, so I guess I'm part of the 'problem' as to why movies nowadays aren't ALL oscar worthy. I'd just like to know at what point going to the movies had to be a spiritual, mind bending experience just to get entertainment out of it. It's giant robots smashing the shit out of things with several comic relief characters thrown in there. Why would you even be looking for a plot inside of this movie? You're an idiot for going into it expecting a plot.

Yes, I did enjoy the movie. Maybe it's because I don't have the class and dignity self-respect that people who blast this movie and think it's total shit do, but I was entertained.

Well, and see there in lies the problem with that statement above. When was the last time any summer blockbuster liked by anyone that has 'high standards'? As for having low standards when it comes to a movie...since when did people have to have HIGH STANDARDS about a movie just to feel good about themselves? As I've stated in movie threads before, I typically enjoy every movie I see, whether it's Tombstone to, well, Transformers 2. The only two movies that I've downright coudln't watch through to the end was Napoleon Dynamite and Disaster Movie.

As for Brady's comments, how am I a dumbass for liking it? I didn't see how this movie could be racist at ALL until people had to 'point it out' I suppose. But then again, I'm one of those EVIL EVIL people that would rather shrug off a black man eating chicken in a movie, rather than immediately crying out THAT'S RACIST! every time I see it.

Remember Brady, racism still lives on, because you will still be offended by it...even though you're white. I think. Are you a darky?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What in the sam hell are you even talking about? The only thing I heard about Obama is that he was in a bunker in the middle of the country.

And even so...who the hell cares? Obama could have been a outed as a man that's actually a decepticon in desguise and I woudln't have given too shits. High standards or not, but if you start taking a movie about giant robots THIS SERIOUSLY then I feel sorry for you.

To be honest I didn't even notice em. I think there was a line in there about em, but I think I missed it.

Even so, god forbid a movie based on toys woudln't have the same humor you would see in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon. Seriously Brady, was your inner child raped, beaten and then had its throat slit when you hit adult-hood? You take it as potty humor, or any humor that isn't UPRIGHT AND POLITICALLY CORRECT as the devil sometimes.

Again, when was the last time there was a summer blockbuster that people didn't go "OH shit not this tired crap again"? I didn't go in expecting the worst. I went in saying "Hey, this is a movie about giant robots blowing shit up, and I'm sure the plot, as thin as it will be, will revolve around something fucking shit up"

And hey, I got what I was expecting. I just don't understand why people are taking a Michael Bay film so seriously. This isn't the worst thing that has come out this summer, and honest to god...I think G.I. Joe is going to be fucking horrible.

It has to do with subjecting yourself to bullshit and then thinking "well at least I wasn't raped by an 80 year old man with PVC pipe so it's all good" is an ok train of thought.

I could understand this if you were going in to see this movie thinking it was going to be great, and fantastic, and coming out of it saying "Holy shit my ass hurts". But other than that...why subjugate yourself to that sort of abuse if you know full well what will happen when you see a movie you already know you'll hate?

I just don't see how I'm a dumbass because I paid six dollars to see a movie about giant robots blowing shit up, instead of paying six dollars to see a jack black movie, or will 'I apparently am a god' ferrell movie.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And I agree with you one hundred percent on that. Even though I'm sure I was STILL called a dumbass for liking Dragonball.

It is not hard to make a decent movie. It's also fairly simple to make a bad movie that isn't sexist, racist, etc.,

Thing is, I don't openly look for anything that is sexist or racist. I mean look at the movie Friday. Stereotypes and racism abound in that movie, but does it make it alright because it starred a black man? Even then I didn't even look at the movie as racist, and I still don't to this day.

Star Trek was an excellent movie, I'll agree. But again, I'm still a dumbass for liking that movie by everyone who hated that Star Trek movie. So can we all agree that we all are dumbasses and move on?

I was speaking idiomatically.

If you can't see the difference then you truly are retarded.

I can see the difference easily. All you're saying is that racism is perfectly fine in any media as long as the director, the stars of the movie, and the target audience belong to the same race that the racism in said movie targets.

I didn't know that stereotyping 'hood life' and the people that live in a community blatantly wasn't racism. Though if it would have been directed by a white man DOT DOT DOT

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And I don't see black culture as people just walking around day after day wearing chains down to their knees and speaking in ebonics all day long.

This will probably earn me a 'diss' in terms of those little thumbs up in the corner, but I saw the twins as stereotypical white boys trying too damn hard to ACT black instead of just some poor gutter trash ghetto folk.

I just can't see how I'm a dumbass because I didn't go into this movie and systematically picking out everything that was politically incorrect about it. I don't find enjoyment in doing that...so I'm a dumbass.
