Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

**Sumiko** · 2009-06-25 10:32

I really liked this movie, and I'm a HUGE transformers fan, so don't play the "you're not a true fan" card >

I did agree that the twins were unncessary, though half the reason it's getting bad reviews seems to be because they think they're racist since they said they can't read... ANCIENT CYBERTRONIAN. ... ... That's like saying you're stupid because you can't read hieroglyphics...

I thought the story was nice and cheesy, i wasn't expecting the Sixth Sense or something here... I understood the plot perfectly fine from beginning to end (... and i hope to gosh I won't be trying to expect that for the Avatar Trailer.. which was really awesome by the way!) People at work are complaining that it was too goofy... ... well, have people ever watched the cartoons?

I watched this on IMAX yesterday, it was a really fun movie to watch. Internetfags will always be internetfags and bitch about anything, I had fun.

The only shit I hated were the twins. That shit wasn't even funny. It's like Jar-Jar Binks Redux. The ONLY thing I laughed at is when one of them called Shia's roomate a "pussy".

Jivetalking twin transformers raise race issues (AP)

Some people take things way out of context. I didn't find it racist at all, in fact, I was laughing more so at the attempt to act "urban" and when one of them was talking trash about Sam's roommate. I knew a few white guys back in high school that acted exactly like the twins so you can't say that it is racist. Also the article goes on to talk about a Bucktoothed black guy. I never once saw that guy, but I DID see a middle eastern bucktoothed guy at the Deli later on in the film.

Oh, I understand why they did it, but in the end it was simply a way to re-inject them into the ending of the movie.

What are you talking about? Every single episode Megatron transformed it was Soundwave using his gun to attack, and on the rare occasion Starscream....

I also love how in the first movie it was pretty clear human machine guns didn't do jack to the transformers, but at the end of the 2nd movie like 13 Decepticons land, and take cover shooting from behind crap against a bunch of tanks/machine guns/3 autobots.........made a TON of sense.

I just kinda assumed it was from the two years they had to upgrade their weapons to ones they knew would work against them? Sort of a stretch, but I guess its possible.

**Weltall** · 2009-06-25 13:53

Yeah, until you look at them and they are just firing normal rifles / machine guns shells......

There was what, 13 they said, Decepticons that landed, and they were taking cover from some military and 3-4 Autobots? RE-TARD-ED

Yea RE-TARD-ED. There's NO FUCKING WAY that in TWO YEARS the segment of the military that specializes in working with the Autobots to hunt down the Decepticons would have found ways to hurt them besides using the superheated rounds they used in the first film.

How the FUCK do you know what kind of rounds they were firing? Did you fucking pause the movie, pull a gun out of it, and pop open the clip? You're a fucking retard whose simply looking for reasons to hate the movie.

**Weltall** · 2009-06-25 14:57

Actually, I've been looking for reasons to like the movie.

If the military rifles WERE upgraded in the 2 years, then the director/writers should REFERENCE it in the movie.

Except they weren't. When they show one of the many close ups of the weapons the soldiers were using, you see clearly they're not normal rifles. They're streamlined versions of the guns they used in the first film. You can tell because the barrels of the guns are far larger then normal rifles.

That and the fact that non of the 'cons really started going down until the tanks, artillery and air support arrived. All of which would have much more powerful weapons then high heat rifles.

Hearing that Transformers 2 made $60.6 Million on Wednesday, besting the previous record, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's $44.2 million, by a wide margin, and coming within $7 million of The Dark Knight's highest all-time opening.

I enjoyed this movie today, Only thing I didnt was the role of jetfire, sure in the end it was cool but gawd dam jetfire is too awesome to be an old man.

**EternityEnd** · 2009-06-25 21:12

What happened to the Twins? One minute they were fucking up Devastator and the next they just... disappeared, and Devastator started climbing up to the pyramid.

My only issue with the movie was that the camera moved around like a fairy on crack. Prolly doesn't affect too many people, but I had to leave the movie halfway through or get sick right there.

**Weltall** · 2009-06-26 13:04

It wasn't just you; you couldn't even tell during the last 1 hour of the movie which Autobots were fighting which Decepticons...

**Pendas** · 2009-06-26 14:30

One quick gripe I have with the movie...
