Transformers' Revenge of the Fallen - getting bad reviews

[toys2cool]

Age could be a factor in this one though,i'm wondering if the people who don't like the film are the older generation? Cus it hits perfection with me

I'm sure it does, us guys who grew up watching the cartoons will probably love it,same with Gi Joe.

I know I loved part 1

The fact that there will be a # 3 is the most depressing thing i have heard all week.

I almost hung myself when I heard they were making a sequel to THE ENGLISH PATIENT...I couldn't handle all those boring artsy types
getting another fix of sweet Patient!

I have no nostalgic ties to Transformers. Never watched the cartoon, never had a toy, I was a little too old by then. So I had no expectations from the first movie at all. Just watched it because it was something to watch. I actually really enjoyed it for the action movie it was.

So I guess for me, if it's similar to the first, I'll probably enjoy it once it comes out on Blu-ray. I can't see myself laying down theater prices for it though.

I do have nostalgia for the toyline, and I went to see th first one impressed with the effects, but disappointed with the changed character designs. In the end, it didn't matter. Since I didn't follow the story beyond the toys, the original cartoon, and the original Marvel comic, it all was close enough for me, and a well-done popcorn/action movie too boot.

If they do that again, we're good. And my son loved it, so it's something for us to enjoy together.

What's the sequel called: "The English Patient. Cured at last?"
"Gets a shot of penicillin."?

Exactly, and then the Americans taught him how get crazy!

I saw the original with a couple of buddies who grew up with Transformers. I thought it was a horrible film that barely made sense, and had trouble telling the robots apart when they werent in car/plane mode. They both loved it. One said it was the greatest film he had ever seen....go figure?

I assume the same will happen here. It will stink like cheddar left out in the sun on a pile of chicken manure, but the folks who grew up with it will love it.

I heard Paramount, after viewing the first cut of GI:Joe, actually fired Stephen Sommers on the spot, and brought in Stuart Bard to re edit the film into something salvageable. Do I think that will keep the fans of the REAL American Hero version of GI:Joe away...Nope. Heck, if it was based on the Adventure Team era Joe, and was rumored to stink, I would still line up first day.

This was a great Movie imo....
It was filled with a Ton of action,.. some new character development,.. & a lot of the Old cast of Actors.
If you know anything About TransFormers Mythos,.. this Had a Ton of the History in the Film,... they mixed it up a Bit,... something were just a tad different,.. but it was there ... Devastator,.. the Idea of Soundwave with Ravage & Lazer Beak,... & The Combiner of Prime & JetFire was all very,.. very cool.

& Megan Fox,... Was smok'in,... in every Scene too.

[VintageMike]

Megan Fox and guarenteed action are enough to make me give it try. I'm easy to please. I'm also a big proponent of seeing movies like this in an actual theater. If it sucks so be it.

Sounds fairly similar to me.

But you are 29...not 9...

I'm actually 26... Twiki the robot is 29....

[Twiki1979]

I got my first mego in a discount bin at child world when i was a little kid,very little...maybe 2 or 3....so i have no emotional ties to the heyday of MEGO....however,I love the WGSH line to death because they are amazing quality and capture the characters perfectly......Transformers,i grew up with so if this sucked,i'd be the first one to hate it because i love the original cartoon like i love myself and the first movie as well as this movie are absolute perfection. I couldn't have asked for more and in a time where most movies just suck terribly....it was a breath of fresh air to enjoy something so much....so much ive already seen it 3 times. 4th this saturday....loved it.

My bad!

[MegoMark71]

Okay i just got back and that is 2 1/2 hours i will never get back. As much as i enjoyed the stuff i did like, the negative stuff still sits in my mind. First off MEGATRON is the number 1 bad guy of all time..........period.....case closed..........done.......... Not some character Michael "im a jerk" Bay makes up. He took so many liberties it was pathetic. Second, the first movie was friendly to both the older crowd and kids. I don't remember a single swear in the first one. This one had a ton of cussing, you get a close up of john tuturro's crotch real close up and a set of robot balls they called robot scrotum. Then there is the clear racism with the 2 twin robots. Do not take kids under 8 to see this movie. At least 60% of the audience tonight was under 8 and parents can't just leave without a full on kid riot. Very let down. Now there were some stuff that was great. And 2 1/2 hours is way to long for kids. One more thing since i have my soapbox out. Second to only mego and starwars "they tie" is GI Joe. There is another long preview for it. If i see one more preview i am not going to see it. This movie is going to be in Name and a few character names only. The more i see the more it looks terrible. What made Gi joe great was the individuality of the characters. I should be counting down the days peeing my pants with excitement over this movie. Even more excited before the first Transformers came out. Not even the Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow fight they show can spark a bit of hope in me that it won't suck.
