Revenge of the Fallen, Anyone else Dislike?

I think the fights would have been more enjoyable for the audience if we had a lot of Matrix style slo-mo going on.

Probably, though that would take up more screen time and require more editting. Definitely possible if they sacrificed other scenes (like maybe less screen time for humans? *cough*)

Less Screen time for ho Pretenders

I'm usually all for reading a whole topic before posting but I don't feel like reading 102 posts or so.

At any rate, I saw ROTF last night and found it mostly awful with very few highlights. I don't know why, but I always expected this film would fall short of the previous one, but I didn't expect by so far. The jokes were childish and dull, that Leo character or whatever his name is was uneccessary and didn't require half the screen time he had. I don't like the idea of Megatron answering to another person who he calls master, and Starscream was reduced to some sort of sniveling Igor character. I think 2 and a half hours was really too long for this movie, it felt like the majority of it was just drawn out and didn't do much to push the story along. The Transformers were still not featured nearly enough, if I want to see a movie about humans, I'll go watch a movie about humans, you know, every other movie in the world.

On the other hand, the fight scenes between the Transformers were good, although there was a little too much Michael Bay here and there, but we just have to accept that. The little remote controlled truck character was good for a few laughs, although it was odd how he just disappeared near the end and was never mentioned again, and it was good to hear Frank Welker doing Soundwave even if it didn't have the filters it should have.

Overall I was far from impressed. I just hope they correct all these problems for the third film.

*Rant over*

Thanks for your time anyway, I needed to vent somewhere.

Yeah, waaaayyyy too long for a film that was 60% unnecessary fluff!

This could well be... QUOTE OF THE YEAR!!!

That's what we were all hoping for the second film... prepare to be disappointed again!

Oh, but wait... have you read the news here yet? Apparently he'll be back, with a much bigger and "meatier" role....

Hmm... they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so by that logic, allow me to submit my feelings to you via a two thousand word essay.

Most Honest Review Yet!

wtf is with all the constructicon clones?.... longhaul was fighting the humans in the dessert but another Longhaul was connected as devastator ripping up the pyramid... sheesh, I know its cheaper for them re-use CG animation models than to make new ones and they prolly reckon ordinary viewers wont be able to tell the difference but FFS ppl!!! what a fn let down...

I'll watch it again and buy the DVD, but more because I'm a collector than because I love the film.

+1

well after their tangle with Devvy, I'll bet they would have iced the Fallen with zero effort.

So dev was a multi coloured, weak a** pansy who got owned by two in-bred twins and a one hit wonder human made weapon.
Fark, MBay made Devastator suck so much figuratively and literally!!!

Jolt, was purely there to help Prime merge with Jetfires parts (which prime immediately shed post battle, how nice Prime!)

Yeah, Prime was a real b*stard hey...what an ungrateful mofo...

Alice was a bit of a shock, I didn't remember her dying in the other movie.

Alice was in the first movie?? erm, i think you are confusing with Rachel Taylor (AKA Maggie the CIA noob) or am i mistaken by your comment?

I think they just rushed it IMO.

I'm sick of people saying that I just need to turn my brain off to watch this film... that's like asking me to rip out my tongue and then try and enjoy a meal.

Defn rushed.
Sh*t, when you are in deep as a TF fan, you cant even switch your brain off even if you wanted to...

Even though it was still pretty fast, I found some of the robot fighting scenes a bit easier to follow than the first movie.

Yeah, probably the only positive comment i'll make is that the key action sequences did get slowed down so people can follow on the big screens this time around...

Most Honest Review Yet!

All the review comments are so f'n true...hahahaha...pure gold!!

"...We're told the Decepticons are "doing things," but they appear to be hiding peacefully when the Autobots show up and brutally murder them..."

Anyways, defn way too many humans in whats meant to be a movie abt transforming robots...

That was great!

Yeah, he's like the RotF equivalent of G1 Wheelie and Daniel (or Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace) -- characters who get lots of screen time but their appearances, for the most part, contribute nothing to the advancement of the story. Suck.

Oh, but wait... have you read the news here yet? Apparently he'll be back, with a much bigger and "meatier" role....

If a 'meatier' role means that he'll actually become more useful instead of being dragged around like a fifth wheel, then that would be a good thing!

Sh*t, when you are in deep as a TF fan, you cant even switch your brain off even if you wanted to...

So you don't switch your brain off when you watch the G1 cartoon?! I think the movies capture the spirit of the G1 cartoon very well; warts and all.

Little wonder that so many G1 fans preferred the Marvel comics over the cartoon series.
