Revenge of the Fallen Makes $200 Million

[SultanP]

You're all doing too much weeping for your childhoods. I am a fan of proper Transformers too, but maybe it's just me who's intelligent enough to not expect proper Transformers from the two movies. I just expect robots kicking the shit out of robots, and the scenes of that in the movie made the rest of the movie worth it for me, even though the movie in general is terrible. And maybe you all remember Transformers as being better than it is.

A couple of my friends and me made the same mistake with Super Mutant Ninja Turtles, we remembered it as being awesome, and decided to have a Marathon of the original cartoon. It was horrible, we were entertained, but it was still horrible as hell.

I'm fairly sure that Transformers is the same, you've all glorified it. Nostalgia will do that, so stop blaming the people who reuse the franchises for killing the franchises. They were dead anyway. Making a bad movie or game with an old franchise isn't much different from making a bad movie or game based on a new universe.

Besides, do the movies alter your memories of the old Transformers? If yes, maybe it's because it was never as good as you remember it. If no, stop whining about your childhood being raped as it appears to still be intact in your memories.

I've not seen this yet, although going with how much hate it's been getting lately, I don't think I'll be going anymore >.>

Don't listen to the hate, unless you have a stiff upper lip that is.

I am not a Transformers fan, and I have not seen this movie. But I do have an indirect hatred for these movies. The more popular these get, the more popualar giant robot movies will get in America. This means that it raises the chance of the live action Evangelion movie being made. After reading this, I am more afraid that it will happen.

Starring Shia LeBoeuf as Shinji, he's already whiny enough.

The movie is not bad. Those of you trying to pretend to be above the awesome explosions, robot fighting, and attractive girls can just stop. You know you enjoyed it and if you say you didn't, you are a lying ************.

Go see it in theaters. You'll enjoy the action a lot more on the big screen.

EDIT: Just clicked nilcypher's profile. Pardon me, we'll both be weeping, sister.

Nilcyphers a dude... OT, I actually quite liked it, and apart from dragging on a bit near the end thought it was a decent movie.

Asuming this is serious, I'm not going to whine about Shia not suited to being Shnji because he is not Japanese. Nationality is not essential to the character development. However, no amount of special effects and make up is going to make him look 14, which is essential.

It's not so much the hate though, it's the fact a friend who loves the first one more than me hated it...so I don't think it'll be worth going to see really >.>

Michael Bay-splosions!!!!!
I loved the movie, the two "black" transformers cracked me up. And my theatre had a yellow 2010 Camaro outside so i got to take a pic with Bumblebee. Rad.

I actually couldn't tell if the two robots where redneck black or mexican lol.

Or you know, your fed up of the bullshit that Hollywood pulls, time after time in creating terrible films with these exact same elements...

It was a terrible film when I saw it and I stick by this statement...

I sorta thought they were redneck. The one with the dorky looking teeth made it seem even more redneck.

I went with my friends to see this movie and we all liked it. However after looking at some posts in the various forums, all I see is people whining about how horrible it was, as if Bay went the way of Molyneux and promised everyone the best movie evar and failed to deliver it. Hmmm... I might be onto something here...

Well he acts like a 14 year old in public, screams like a girl onscreen (or so the brave friends of mine who actually spent money on Transformers:ROTFL tell me) and I'm pretty sure they can just CGI his Even Stevens-era face onto his face. And yes, I was being half-serious. On the one hand no way in hell would I want to see Shinji LeBoeuf. On the other hand, it's exactly what Hollywood will do to continue cramming the untalented prick down our throats.

And given how Megatron in these films looks like a stripped-down EVA-01 according to some people with too much free time on their hands, what're the odds Bay would get his explosion-addicted mitts on Evangelion?

That makes no sense... thats as pathetic as me saying everyone that liked this film is an idiot - they aren't but its as harsh a generalization as yours.

Proof that business doesnt care for your nostalgia or your fanboy rage. Its just a movie strategically placed at the opening of summer. The age old summer blockbuster formula never fails, this shouldnt be a surprise.

Agreed. The movie studios also know that the vast majority of people are stupid, and will go see the movie because it's called "Transformers"

It's sad, but thats the way Hollywood works. You rarely see any new franchises starting now a days. It's all sequels, remakes, or movies based off of an already existing franchise. ...sigh.

Either way, they're not getting my hard earned cash for this piece of crap.

Reviews at the minute are really out of touch. Prototype's been averaging 7-8/10 'fer crying out loud! How does this new Transformers compare to the last one? I really liked the previous but since my GF is out of town for a few weeks I haven't bothered to go to the cinema to watch it...

He helped rape Indy, and he helped raped my friends presious Transformers, according to them. No more Shia!

OK, that was a bit much. Holes in one of my favorite books and the movie was a good adaptation of it. He just needs to take better roles.

 

[Chaos Marine]

Words fail to convey my disgust.

 

[scotth266]

I'll probably see it... it might even be my first movie review.

Hopefully it isn't a giant load of crap. The first movie was decent enough to warrant a sequel, if only to correct the mistakes it made.
