Damned spammers. Hate them all.

Cool list, by the way. Look forward to seeing Jetfire and his Pimp Cane on the big screen.

Who cares what the critics say this movie is going to be amazing. It will amaze all TF fans

No Wheeljack or Prowl, but we get Arcee? I say boo-urns.

how is anyone shocked that this movie sucks?

jokerboy1991 on 06-23-2009 09:36 PM

Saw it already guys, I was disappointed. It just made no ****ing sense, so incoherent, bloated, and over long. It kept introducing new sub plots for nothing- something called "The League of Matrix" or something like that was so stupid. The first 90 minutes ran fine with me, but after that I kept looking at my watch. Really repetitive, and most of the humor is pretty bad. Didn't really laugh at all, those two supposed racist robots were really annoying like most of the side characters (Sam's roommate). I laughed a lot at all the slow motion which was really cheesy on Pearl Harbor level. The last 30 minutes just made no sense with the stupid Maguffin and it was hard to understand what was going on- bad sense of geography. One scene has John Turturro going up to Devastator as if he is going to do something, and then it cuts away and you never know what happens. Also SO anti-climatic. They led up to a battle between Prime and that main Fallen guy and the fight lasted for like 30 seconds!!! It seriously should have cut some side characters/stories to lose 30 minutes.
On the upside the first hour or so were fine kind of fun. The earlier action scenes are really good but after a forrest scene nothing lives up to it. Shia is still good and fun. On a technical level the movie was great. I did my best to enjoy it, I like the first one, but I found myself more so bored during this.
I would say a 5/6

Yeah, this movie is already popping up online, but I for one can't bring myself to watch it, even if it is high quality.

I think its sad that somebody pointed out they thought this movie was going to be good, and they expected at least a 50% on the meter. 50%! I wouldn't waste my time.

I know, you can't solely judge a movie on critics opinions, but this movie is currently at 23% and dropping. This is looking to be like one of the worst rated Bay films, and that's really saying something.

tgibfo on 06-23-2009 09:50 PM

oh, wait. I'm an idiot... you meant 5 or 6 out of 10. I'm tired. Ignore me.

General Disarray on 06-23-2009 09:58 PM

You people need to go make THE HURT LOCKER your 4th of july movie. Just saw it, its effin great.

What better way to contemplate American values than see a movie like this? I give the studios credit for releasing it on the 4th, even though it will inevitably drown in the sea of summer blockbusters, this is easily one of the best movies to come out all year. It might not be Oscar season yet, but this movie is definetly oscar bait.

It was made by Katherin Bigelow, who also directed Point Break, and while this movie does not support a beach bum Keanu Reeves or Garey Busey, it is eaily her best film to date.

@jokerboy1991:
Thanks for the review. I know that you were looking forward to the movie, and I guess the concerns about the running time were dead on, huh? Probably not seeing it until Friday; I'll try to keep my expectations at the absolute bare minimum and enjoy myself.

@CtrlAltDestroy:
I said that I expected it to be around 50% - a little bit lower than the first one. As you probably know, I'm no Bay apologist, and I didn't expect this movie to be an action masterpiece, but I did expect it to be watchable. Oh well - I'll probably enjoy myself at THE HURT LOCKER. That movie looks f'ing awesome.

Real fans of sci fi action cinema, bear down and wait for December 18th. The internet is buzzing about James Cameron screening 24 minutes of AVATAR in Amsterdam. And the reports are MIND-BOGGLING. I quote:

"The audience afterwards was stunned. Everyone just gasped, wondered and just couldnt believe what they saw. [Cameron] is so proud of this movie and still handles it with great suave like he just folded a paper plane. I am just mindbaffled how a genius like that can contain himself with something like this."

jokerboy1991 on 06-23-2009 10:06 PM

Yeah The Hurt Locker is ****ing great, see that. If you want an intense action movie, its kind of similar to Black Hawk Down, then see that.

General Disarray on 06-23-2009 10:09 PM

But yeah, The Hurt Locker is one of the best War movies I've seen since either The Thin Red Line or Saving Private Ryan.

It is also one of the only movies about the Iraq war worth watching.

There are a lot of seasoned veterans that pop up in the movie, Guy Pearce, Ralph Fienes, David Morse, but the main characters are mostly unknowns, which I think suits the feel of the movie better.

I don't want to spoil it for you, but there are a lot of great action sequences in it as well, but they are pretty realistic. Its as if you are experiencing a real battle(think black hawk down).

Its pretty fascinating seeing how the bomb squad unit operates. Not only do they have to defuse bombs, but they have to watch their back constantly. Anyone could be the enemy.

TheCriticAlex on 06-23-2009 10:24 PM

Well all of them look cool but my favorite robot is actually optimus prime i really don't care much for the others. Kind of sad to that this film getting such bad reviews it got 23% so far. The meter is probably going go down farther could this movie be the worst action movie of the year?

Flap s. on 06-23-2009 11:22 PM

I am planning on seeing it today but my expectations are really really low. I just wish they had chosen a better director instead of one of the 'Hack' Pack...

pepsterboy on 06-23-2009 11:47 PM

Saw it already...I'll be short and brief.
Pros:
1. The plot is a bit more interesting than the 1st one
2. More Transformers, more action, more variety of effects.
3. The story is more focused on the transformers, especially on Octimus Prime, and not on the humans...OP kicks *** in this one!
4. Megan Fox is as hot as ever!
(Sorry to say these are all the pros that I can think off)

Cons:
1. Lacks emotional pull, after awhile all the action does feel flat.
2. The Fallen isn't as scary and menancing as he should be...next thing you know he's dead and you're like...what? already?
3. Poor humor

Summary:
- Go in with minimal expectations and you'll have a fun friday night. I went in with hugh expectations and came out somewhat disappointed. But I guess the good thing is, it seems there should be another Transformers movie, so Hollywood will have another chance to get it right... please get Ripley Scott to direct it...Bay has had 2 chances and still can't get it right.
