It definitely could have been better, a lot better. I found it hard to “settle” while watching this in the cinema, as in I just couldn’t feel part of it like I usually do.

Take Terminator Salvation for example. With that movie I barely even noticed I was in a cinema (once the guy next to me put his phone away).

With the first Transformers movie I could really get into it and also not feel the boundary between real footage and computer generated parts. However, with Revenge of the Fallen, I was very unsatisfied with the CGI, especially *spoiler warning* in the battle leading up to Prime’s death. I felt the transformers were somewhere blurry at points. I guess it could have just been the cinema, but then it’s the same cinema I watched the first Transformers at.

I love that video clip by the way That’s exactly how it felt.

I give this film an F! Double thumbs down.

What? Megan Fox turn down your yellow rose?

Her shiny skin/lips, and inability to close her mouth certainly assisted the movie’s low grade, yes. Though the dog sex, simulated robot with human leg sex, and the continued (from the first film) robot’s bodily fluids excreted onto humans is what dropped it from a C to an F. As for what caused the drop from an A to a C, that was poor special effects (read so zoomed in they are pointless), poor humor, excessive cursing, nonsensical story, robots with golden bucked teeth, Megan Fox, John Turturro, the actors who play Sam’s parents, and mainly the destroying and dragging through the mud of a perfectly good IP.

Wow, I have to be the one to defend this movie. OK, here goes. Um, what movie did you guys actually think you were buying a ticket for? Because if you were surprised by the childish jokes, blurry special effects, a far-fetched storyline and a very plastic Megan Fox, then you obviously fell asleep during the first one. What’s Einstein’s definition of insanity? Doing the same thing, expecting different results? I actually enjoyed the ending. I could mostly tell the Autobots apart (including one of my faves Jetfire) and I didn’t much care about those filthy Decepticons. I got to see Soundwave (although he was stuck in space) and the Constructicons morphing into Devastator was very cool.

Oh yeah, I didn’t expect to like this movie, nor did I pay for it, my GF wanted to go (and agreed to pay for my ticket so we could go together, plus we went to the 4 dollar matinee at AMC), and I’m happy to watch any movie once or twice. So I certainly got what I expected, I didn’t mean to imply that the F rating meant I regretted going to see it, I enjoy hanging out, watching modern special effects, sweet sound system, snacks, etc, and free helps too

You went to see Transformers with Geraldine Ferraro?
