Revenge of the Fallen, Anyone else Dislike?

ALSO; this is probably irrelevent to everything and wtf was Bay thinking when putting it in, but....WHERE DID STARSCREAM GET ALL THOSE SPARKLINGS (Hatchlings?) FROM? Because as much as the fangirl in me would giggle hysterically if it were canon, I doubt he's popping them out by himself.

LOL.

I also found myself mulling that one over.

Well you would hope the con's used and abused the allspark before Prime managed to 'express post' it to earth. Otherwise, if they can 'reproduce' and just create more of themselves on a whim, kind of invalidates the entire significance and purpose of the allspark, the war... and the entire plot of the first movie.

I thought I read somewhere Jolt was there purely because the car company wanted to plug another car, and I'm sure Hasbro didn't mind either.

Yeah I read he wasn't in the movie until GM told Bay they wanted to put their new hybrid car in.

Also I worked out where I had seen those different coloured constructicons before... On my sons "Bob the Builder" DVD

The US Navy railgun was awesome, and frankly, I wanted more military scenes.

- Too many humans.

- So much crap humour. So much. There had to be a 'joke' every minute. Why?

-The only 'in-depth' characterisations were the retarded and cliched characters of Jetfire, Wheelie and the spastic twins.

-The plot was highly contrived, filled with holes and the pacing was all over the place.

-Generic 'bad guy' aliens replaced real Decepticons.

-Too many humans.



On the plus side Ravage looked cool.

Yeah I read he wasn't in the movie until GM told Bay they wanted to put their new hybrid car in.

That's funny as I don't even remember seeing Jolt in car mode and only hearing him called by name once in the whole movie.

On the plus side Ravage looked cool.

On the down side he's an Action Master.

I really loved the movie.I wasn't happy with some of the cruss humour but other than that, i thought it was well balance between human an Transformers..I didn't go in with high expectations so i wasn't let down,it seems most people went in with such high expectation after the first one that it turned out not how they want.i think it was just as good as the first and people say there was no story line. I dont think they saw the same movie i did. i had no problem following the story, maybe if people stop criticising and just enjoy the movie for what it is.i was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie.

+ Some people found the "reefer cookie" joke funny. Some people in the audience last night I was with laughed at it. I didn't think it was funny, but evidently others did.

I see the humour, but it just doesn't fit into an already-long film. The plot pauses for a few minutes for a joke that belongs in a different film genre.

+ People in last night's audience laughed at the joke "there is no tighter shirt, we've checked." - I didn't think it was that funny.

Dude, I was right next to you and I laughed at that one

+ I laughed when Leo's roommate said, "The internet is pure truth." I didn't hear anyone else laughing though so maybe I'm the only one who found that funny.

Again, right next to you... laughing

BTW, we did see Jolt in vehicle mode, although only in fairly early group shots of the Autobot vehicles. His appearance was awfully rushed though.

Went and saw this movie in Gold Class with some non-Transformer fans.

For them it is was an adequate pop-corn flick, for me it was disappointing.

I treat the movies and the cartoon/toyline of G1 as they should be-seperate animals.

But I felt the first one was way better than the sequel. I think Bay got too ambitious with the story and even moreso with the action that the pacing was horrible, too much unnecessary comedic (if that!) dialogue/scenes, and too many plot holes/oversights.

I couldn't imagine watching this on an Imax screen as I originally intended to as the action sequences would have been so difficult to process and sensory overload would have fried my brains.

I would have as many others of you said, liked more characterisation of the bots. They wasted too much screen time on the spastic twins and Jetfire's whole introduction could have been condensed more.

Some moron writer tried to introduce a whole genre of bad comedy into this movie with the ball sack and phallic sexual innenduo jokes (e.g. Leo's pizza - "18 inches of meat") that just had no place here. They must have gotten the idiot who wrote Batman and Robin or Joel Schumacher was involved.

I thought the female Decepticon college student thing was stupid. The toy truck Decepticon humping the leg was stupid and crap.

I see the need for humans to be involved in the movie but not at the expense of screen time for the bots. However, if Bay wastes screen time on the idiot twins what does it matter?

Too many cheap deaths and resurrections of Decepticons just annoyed me. Although I loved the idea of how one Deception got cannibalised by the others for parts and his spark to resurrect Megatron. I thought that was a nice touch and insight on the ruthlessness of these guys.

I know this is the G1 fan in me when I just hated the idea of Megatron answering to someone else, even to the point he would bend down on knee in servitude.

How does Optimus Prime in the first movie get his ass kicked so easily that you think Megatron is far superior to him yet in this one, he is taking on Megatron and co easily before biting it. He even gives one the dirt nap before succumbing to Megatron's blade.

The combiners= sucked big time.

I didn't feel I got ripped off paying for my movie ticket, but I didn't feel it was worth seeing again or recommending to others. 5/10 IMHO.

I know this is the G1 fan in me when I just hated the idea of Megatron answering to someone else, even to the point he would bend down on knee in servitude.

The RotF prequel explains Megatron's subservience to the Fallen. Also, Megatron did take orders from others in G1, such as Lord Straxus and Shockwave.

I went in not expecting much, therefore not getting my hopes damaged as badly as others in this thread.

I didn't mind the twins, nor didn't really see the racist angle with them.

Ravage looked awesome, and I hope they do a good toy on him.

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

OP dying and coming back was pretty obvious. Sad that characters like Sideswipe didn't get more air time. Decepticons were a lot weaker than their Autobot versions. I know that Megatron would've been weaken by being under the ocean, but Devestator didn't seem that powerful especially since he was slapped around by the twins.
