Transformers' Revenge of the Fallen - getting bad reviews

[Neutron X]

My son and I made it into a guys day just like with the first one and had a great time. We both enjoyed it!

[toys2cool]

Yeah,.. Untill that Robotic Tail came outta Her Arse ...

... But I do Wonder the True Potential of that Tounge of Hers ....

lol!

Still haven't seen the first....never a big Transformers fan

Read Rolling Stone's Peter Travis review on the flick...he gives it ZERO stars...and...well...it's one of the funniest reviews ever...lol...

A sample:

"But I've said enough. Go ahead, have your senses senselessly pounded for two and a half hours. And, please, it's not that I hate robot movies. I stand second to no one in admiring the power and dark poetry that James Cameron brought to the first two Terminator films. I even have a dream that the great bots of movie history — Robby, Gort, HAL, R2-D2, C-3PO, the alien from Alien, the sentinels from The Matrix and all the Terminators — will one day march on Bay, who is the true Decepticon. Disguised as a human director, Bay is actually a destroyer of dreams."

yeah that guy's an idiot, trust me bro. It was good if you liked the first, if you didn't then don't bother

[Hector]

I didn't like the first...the only thing worth a damn in that movie is super hot Megan Fox...but she's not naked in that movie...and LeBeouf...I can't stand that little skinny annoying screamer...that's all he does in all his movies...scream his dialogue.

Transformers 2 is a pass for me...I may eventually see it late night on cable someday...you know...when I'm drunk and eating stale pizza at 2 am and there's nothing else on...lol.

lol! there's a part where he screams in this one that will crack you up bro

[BlackKnight]

LeBeouf's character has actually toned his self down a Bit in this Film,.. rather than the 1st... Because he's kinda scene whatnot before... There is a New guy in the Film that does all the Screaming.

Just got back from seeing the film with my son. I thought it was balls to the wall great! No pun intended...ahem. Honestly, I didn't think any of the dialog or metallic 'nut' shots was anything to be offended by. We see far worse on television on a daily basis. I think the approach is spot on correct. If you took this subject matter and got too serious with it, the whole concept would collapse on itself and you would have a campy film no one could sit through. I thought the effects were incredible and the humor throughout kept the film fresh. I have no idea why critics can't wrap their thought processes around this concept. Great movie and one I'll definitely get on DVD. Great summer flick!

Ok i understand where you guys are coming from as far as the pg13 thing goes. But there was not one swear in the first one and it told parents this was a safe movie to take younger kids. and i'm not prude, my wife actually gets on me about my mouth.
Now let me ask you guys about the other woman everyone is talking about. Since when can the robots look just like humans. If they could do that they would have done it the whole time. I'm not saying i didn't enjoy the action, i just think Michael Bay is a jerk for taking several of the liberties he did. Every time they swore in the movie it wasn't needed. Any other words would have worked and been fine. Maybe i had expectation that were way too high.

Just came back from seeing it!!! Loved it!!! wall to wall nonstop Popcorn action!!!! The humor was flat out Hilarious and the crowd was into the movie! Effects were amazing!! Don't know what the critics were looking for but my son and I loved it!! Megan Fox oh Yeah!!!!!

Best moment for me though was when they showed the trailer for Gijoe as it finished there was a 8 year old near me who said rather loudly "AWESOME"!!!!.......that just made me laugh!!
