[Movie] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I know that a thread had existed for this when the original live action movie came out in 2007, but that thread still exists but its over two years so I decided to make another thread for it if anybody didn't mind.

There are 20 days left, till this movie gets released. I'm always going to be a big transformers fan especially since the 80's cartoon is probably one of the best cartoons ever released. I know Michael Bay is directing and he is really over-inflating his ego with this movie. Anytime you see any of the TV spots for transformers you'll always hear a Michael Bay film.

My friends and I are going to the midnight showing and more than anything else I hope this will be an entertaining movie. I'll admit that I did like the first one, just because I didn't really care too much about the story. I just wanted to see giant motherfucking robots and that's what I got and to be honest as long as I have that in the next film I'm perfectly happy. To those that haven't kept in touch with any of the details in the movie. I'm going to be provide a list of the confirmed robots that are in this film.

Please note, that some of these robots could be changed and not included in the film at all:

There are also a bunch of tv spots with some new footage but they can be easily found on youtube. To the GFF community are you going to see this film, and what are your general impressions of it so close to its release.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I had a former friend of mine, he was actually a member of his site a while back he made of the most stupidest complaints I've ever heard of anybody concerning the first Transformers movie in 2007. He was upset because they never named the father and son; Sparkplug and Spike. It is safe to say that this person is a fucking idiot.

Its one of the reasons why I hate going to comic book movies, or anything along those lines with some of my friends because they feel they should have the god-given right that all the accuracies of a comic or a cartoon should be crammed into a 2 hour movie. They'll fucking nitpick at it for everything. I just go to a movie to be entertained. If I really cared that much of the mythology I would watch the cartoon or read one of the many comic books available.

Anyway, for those who are interested they released a brand new clip and it involves the obnoxious transformer Wheelie, the clip itself probably doesn't give the film any justice but its a little humorous.

I was suppose to go to the midnight showing for this movie, but unfortunately some of my friends canceled at the last minute, so I'll be seeing the matinee showing on my birthday with my wife which is a day after the films release date. I would see it during the evening but we're heading out to the comedy club for my birthday with a few of our friends.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm guessing it would be a bad time to admit liking the movie for what it was worth. I honestly didn't care about anything but the robot battles.

I wasn't necessarily fond of most of the humor, and I couldn't give a good god damn about the Autobot twins. I wanted to see it for the robot action so I guess I'm guilty of putting money into this convoluted mess as much as the next person.

You know with movies like this, complaints are always going to come from any possible direction, but I only cared about the robot fighting and at least I got a good 40 minutes of it. I'll admit I got a few good laughs out of the parents, and the interaction between sam and bumblebee when he was at college.

The fight with Optimus Prime and the three Decepticons was my favorite battle scene in the movie. I liked some of the Megatron & Starscream interaction as well.

So to sum it up:

Good robot fighting - Pointless - Pointless - Pointless - A little bit of humor - Pointless - Pointless - Excellent Robot Fighting - Pointless - Pointless - Pointless - Pointless - Pointless - Pointless - Pointless - Completely over the top all over the place robot fighting - Pointless - Pointless.

So yeah, fuck Michael Bay. A man of action, but literally nothing else.

How ya doing, buddy?
