[Movie] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I assumed that when Bumblebee got fixed up at the end of the last one they'd change his name to Goldbug. Also, Arcee, most annoying Transformer by fucking miles.

All I'm saying is that the third in the series better have some fucking Dinobots and Fortress Maximus in it.

Oh yeah, this is out on the 19th over here for all you Englandland Transfans.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quite. They've already had to rename a couple of the Constructicons as they used the names for other Transformers last time out. In fact, there's probably more here for internet nerds to bitch about in terms of deviation from canon than in Watchmen.

Then again, Transformers has a hilariously wide range of differing story arcs so my idea of canon, having read every single British Transformers comic they ever made as a kid, is probably quite different from someone who's into the more recent Beastwars nonsense or even the original American comics which were pretty different to the UK ones.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Alright, it's a tv show but still.



HARRO MEESTA BOND.



Just saying.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Because we never changed any of the laws about blacks being property.

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

Oh hey, so I actually saw this last night and fuck you guys, I really enjoyed it. It's a kids action film for fucks sakes so I can't really see why anyone would go into with expectations beyond big robots and explosions but I really didn't see any of the criticisms that have been raised here.

The story is a passable one and easy to follow. There's not a huge amount of depth to it but then there ain't a huge amount of depth to the Goonies or the Princess Bride either but that doesn't stop them being great films. The humour is slightly childish but what do you expect in a film aimed at teenagers? It's still pretty funny and you're so up your own arse you can't laugh at dogs shagging in a kids film then you should stick to watching Polanski films frankly.

The fights are great, the special effects are believeable enough and big explosions are always welcome in any film. I didn't say anything to my girlfriend about the perceived racism in the film before we watched it and when I mentioned it afterwards, she couldn't tell which ones I was talking about. It's a ridiculous criticism frankly. The only problems I had with the film were them not using Soundwave's voice from the cartoons and the whole Team America bit at the end but that was funny more than anything. I also thought it was amusing how at the beginning they showed how tough NEST are by zooming in on the dude's SAS badge and then conveniently got him killed in the first fight.

It's a dumb action film but I thought it was a very good, dumb action film and if you went into it expecting anything else then you're pretty much an idiot and should maybe read a bit about films before you go and see them to save yourself both the entry film and the beard-stroking anguish.

How ya doing, buddy?
