All of my friends said it was good.
Yet, all of my friends said the first one was good as well.
I don't know what to think!

Revenge of the Fallen Makes $200 Million

I thought it was alright, but it left me with a weird feeling, can't really explain it, at least the autobots weren't a bunch of pussies in this one.
You people have no taste in good movies. Ok so it had robot "testicles"........for like 5 seconds.
And the two twin robots were funny.
Just go enjoy the movie and shut up.

I went to see it and I thought it was fine enough for a brainless romp. However its worth nowhere near as much as it has earned.Time Travelling Toaster said:

2. Stereotypical characters.
3. Bad jokes. Can they even be called jokes?
4. Robot testicles.
5. Michael. Fucking. Bay.
6. Did I mention robot testicles yet? Done by Michael Bay.
I gree with you it wasn't all that bad but it was much, much to long.The only people that think it is bad are the people that grew up with the toys... but they aren't fanboys(according to every single one of them). Christ, can people quite whining about it?(not you of course)JenXXXJen said:It wasn't that bad, but it was tooooooo looooong. After an hour I just didn't care anymore and my arse really hurt
And I don't remember any robot testicles.
1. It was a joke, give it up already!Saphatorael said:
2-6. Don't seem like enough reasons to deem it a terribly awful shithole of a movie. Everyone that criticizes it has no valid reason for the fact it is shit. It was a fucking action movie with giant robots and esplosions, GET OVER IT!
these movies aren't made for fans. If they made movies for fans, they'd make considerably less money. It's sad but true.
Most people I've talked to have loved the movie..
It's made to appeal to people who liked the first movie, which, despite the fanboy rage, was pretty successful, and lots of people liked it.

I'm actually glad to have contributed to that $201 million. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was a nice, mindless, robot-ass-kicking explosionfest. Exactly what I needed. $9 well spent. I'll never see it again, though. But that's to be expected of any summer blockbuster.
Oh, and if you knew me, you'd know I hate Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf in general. So they must've done something right this time around.

Don't forget the jokes/stereotypes/douche-baggeries are racist...Saphatorael said:
Also, did anyone expect something good from Michael Bay?... After all he is worse than Uwe Boll at making movies. Seriously, the man has made fucking Armageddon, a movie in which you could say all of their douche-bag lines before they said them and you knew it was going to end as well... That's good writing... Right?
Is it really that hard to understand that most Americans LOVE America? Michael Bay understands this at least...
--Xvito, keeping it Michael Bay-free.
Ok. valid reasons are...Shapsters said:
Oh lookie, the ones I said earlier.
1. Stereotypical characters: as in, nothing memorable. And as MovieBob said, the titular transformers only appear for 1/4 of the movie. They're more of a supporting cast, a plot device to put the boring and overdone plot of the human characters.
The first movie wasn't a transformers movie, it was just a typical love story (pathetic nerdy guy wants to get the hot chick), some random cube being the McGuffin du jour, and transformers delivering some ad-infested action. It just wasn't enjoyable. And the ending made no sense AT ALL. Keeping the cube safe from the baddies, only to PUSH IT INTO the main bad guy, upon which HE DIES? SERIOUSLY?
2. Bad jokes: seriously, if you found them funny, you have no sense of humour. Even 4chan on average is funnier than this tripe.
3. Michael Bay. I've yet to see one good movie done by him. Bad Boys was decent, but nothing special.
So much negativity here. So what? A Michael Bay film made money. Maybe some people actually enjoyed the movie. I went to see it and though I found that it had no decent plot to it, the mindless robot battles made up for the lack of story. No, it wasn't the greatest film ever. It was nowhere near the greatest film ever. But it is already out. It is already making a huge profit. And it is too late for any of that to change.
You must realise that this is the way the movie industry works these days. People don't go to see films like Transformers to be enthralled by a brilliant story line. They go to see them because they saw the ads full of robots smashing each other and things going boom. If you don't like the transformers movies. DO NOT GO TO SEE THEM JUST TO COMPLAIN!
Or better yet. If you think you can do a better job. Then by all means give it a go.

Bleah. I'm going to try my hardest to avoid this one. I learned my lesson with the first movie.
Oh, and to all those who enjoyed Transformers by Michael "Special Effects and Nothing Else" Bay and can't stop telling the rest of us all that the movies were actually good? You're entitled to your opinion on whether or not you enjoyed it, but don't give me that about the movie being quality when held to the same standards as other films. I'll be happy to sit down and write out all of the things the original Transfomers (Michael Bay) movie did wrong. It's freaking Independence Day with robots, for crying out loud! You could teach a class in how not to make a movie with that film.
Note: Independence Day sucks. No really, it does. Watch it again if you don't believe me. Now that the special effects are old hat, there really is nothing to recommend that movie.

What? Who the hell could possibly be stupid enough to suggest that TF2 is better than Dark Knight? Those people need to be shot for the good of humanity, and Michel Bay as well while we're at it.D_987 said:
The one good thing I thought was at least there was less focus on the myriad of pointless human characters this time around and more on the robots, that's about the only plus point I can give it.
This. Also, what exactly is wrong with taking something we enjoyed over a decade ago and making it accessible to a new generation? People now don't want bright pink robots trying to strangle each other.Altorin said:
Yes, remember that? Where, at the end, Galvatron tries to strangle Hot Rod, who picks up the Matrix of Leadership and becomes Rodimus Prime while a whingy twat kid watches from the sidelines? Yeah, maybe we should go back to that. Or maybe we could do something good?
The film was by no means bad. Just because you don't like it, it doesn't make it a bad film. It just means you don't want generic Hollywood BOOM CRASH RAAWRG-ness. As for me, I loved it, but then I have a soft spot for the Transformers films. Who knew gigantic metal men with cannons on their arms could be so lovable?
