Forums - General - transformers :revenge of the fallen, $1.6 million from $400 million mark.

Transformers doesnt deserve $400 million. After making the mistake of watching the first one, I couldnt watch the second one. I was also wrong for my excited participation of GI Joe, and it seems the lack of quality of these movies is related.

I just couldnt handle the sinking ice in GI Joe or the girl in my room scene in Transformers.

should pass this milestone mark within the next 2 days or so. cant wait. looks like the critics were wrong and the public was right about wether this movie was good. i know alot of ppl on this site didnt like the movie and that is fine and all. but even the ppl who didnt like it or even hated it, have to at least say that passing the $400 million mark in the states is a impressive thing to accomplish. :)

 i really liked the movie and cant wait for it to be released on dvd/blu-ray and of course the eventual transformers 3 movie.  :)

Count me with this critics on this one - the movie is crap.

Actually, I've decided Transformers 2 isn't actually a movie - it is a series of unconnected, unjustified sequences developed because they will entertain in a midless way.  It consists either of silly humour, anything to show of Megan Fox's body, explosions, action, more explosions, some more fights, some last explosions and then the limpest ending showdown ever - beware The Fallen, oh you've beating him already!  Argh Megatron is back!  Oh, he's not even worth a full fight this time.

When something has this little coherence, narrative continutiy and betrays the logic of its own internal Universe, then it's no longer a true movie. Watching transformers reminded me of watching TV in THX 1138 - remove everything but the core action, sex, etc.

Everyone's entitled tyo their views of course, its just a shame that joe blow public would appear to have voted for mindless entertainment over anything with any small scrap of artistic worth at all.

I was actually surprised by Transformers that it actually seemed to have some effort behind it, some real humour and a basic narrative structure. Must have been a fluke, because Transformers 2 is actually what I was expecting first time around.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I had the same problem.  The person sitting next to me insisted there was a lot of metal from the station buried in the surface ice but I'm not buying it.


I know it's not meant to be a serious film, but damn.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

It wasn't better than the first ( at least the first tried to have a decent story in it) but it wasn't as bad as teh critics said it was. It has some redeeming factors ( the 5 deceptions vs Optimus, the last fight...even that has to be the longest fight sequence in the history of action adventure films, and the beginning of the movie...which showed some decent promise). Hell the first hour was decent, and destoryed the first movie's hr, but then it went downhill. Three things stopped this movie from being great:

1) the retarded pee and car throwup jokes( it's like Micheal Bay heard our displeasure of it the first film and said "fuck it, I'm gonna make it 10 times worse in the sequel)

2) Useless robots( the "female" motorcycles, the "twins", and Devasator..who while I appreciate him being there, was nothing more than filler like Leo was.)

3) Jessica Lucas( She is hot...but I couldn't believe she was an actual human being at all. Even if you didn't know she was robot when people were spoiling the shit of this in the last year, the first scene would've told u... if you have the chick be a robot, try to at least not make obvious, have an explanation. It was like, she's a transformer....wait, transformers ca change into humans to? But no....)

Still can't believe this is gonna end up with more than the last film made ( I can say the same with that new Harry Potter movie)

The next Transformers movie won't have a storyline, it will just be a two and a half hour commercial. Because that's what the general populace likes.

The movie was absolute jaw dropping crap.

F that the movie was awesome.

Its freakin TRANSFORMERS, not fucking some epic drama story movie.

Its supposed to be explosions, giant robot fighting, explosions, giant robot exploding, etc.

wtf did you expect? a serious monologue?

Did you ever see the cartoon?

How did you play with your toys? mine kick each others asses with horrible dialog.

I'm glad I spent $50 that day to watch it with my family, it was well spent and will definitely do it in a couple of years for part 3.

Only gripe I had is that the character of M.Fox could be cut out. She's only eye candy but does not help the story in any way shape or form, also, the reason for *why* only a prime could kill the fallen should have been explained a little better. i mean Optimus has no special telekinetic abilities so that was a little far fetched, but what scifi movie does not stretch realism.

Seriously, people.

Well, I thought the movie was amazing. Those critics were just being dumbasses about the film. I mean, come on, this i film hit 700 million dollars in box office. I'm definitely buying the movie on blu ray.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

You think Transformers is a no plot orgy of explosions?  Just wait for 2012!
