DISQUS

Moves · 4 months ago

You're an idiot. ecause Roger ebert, one of the most acclaimed film critics of all time, syas what he says, THAT is the reason why you "can't give it anthing but a positive review". You're a much a mindless sheep as everyone else who flocked to watch this piece of crap. Are you employed here, or is this just your spare-time blog? I'd hate to think that this is what's refered to as credible reading material. You're pathetic.

And even after you go on that entire rant about megan fox. So what you're syaing is, you expected to go see a piece of crap movie (and you did), yet you feel the ened to defend it endlessly, becasue it qualified as having all the rights amount of cheese necessary, to entertain your quipped mind.

I don't know what's more useless, this film, or you! Now there's soemthing worth disccussing...but not really, no. "I not going to summarie the plot..because it doesn't matter" hahaha. Spoken like a true film sheep. How about you leave the critique-ing, to someone with a sensible opin.... someone with sense.

I'm aware of my typos. I would give the time to correct them if, this were about something worthwhile. After reading that steaming pile of crap, my posts should be a breath of fresh air.

Save your overly pretentious view of movies for people who give a damn. This movie was everything it was MEANT to be. This movie wasn't trying to be some amazing plot-driven, character developing Oscar contender. This film was trying to be a 2 and a half hour long, in-your-face, robot fighting spectacle, and absolutely nothing more. Did it succeed in doing what it set out to do? Absolutely. It's movie elitists such as yourself that for some unknown reason expected this movie to contain actual intellectual substance. That's the reason your opinion of the movie is that it's a "piece of crap". Stop being such a pretentious prick, and have some fun with this movie, and watch it as it's meant to be watched.

Your the idiot...Roger ebert is a two bit whore, who promotes whatever the last studio exec crammed inside his colon with a pat on the back and a white envelope in his jacket pocket.

This is the popcorn flick of the summer and it did exactly that, it made me not even noticed I stuffed myself with a gallon of popcorn trying to not drool on myself as robots ninja kicked each other in the head, it was every 14 year olds wet dream and made every decepticon robo-geek probably want to open their mint condition in original package hasbro optimus prime action figure and stick in the microwave and to watch its face melt, while yelling "NOW GIVE ME YOUR FACE BITCH!! ...mindless fun at the end of the day is always FUN none the less!

Roger Ebert actually said something like this before, that plot should hardly matter in film.

you know, Roger Ebert (a.k.a Fucker eBird) is probably just jealous that Bay made a movie that is this good.

the fact shows that the movie earns a lot.
and that's enough to shut roger's fucking mouth and yours if he would. (no point, coz you're no one).

Nobody can resist hot playboy bunnies at a monster truck rallies sponsored by gm and the army. After watching this, you wish you were american, had a gm car, went to some ivy league school and had a blonde girlfriend who can smile and look pretty while you toss the football and wave the usa flag.

Ignore the wannabee movie critics who think they are cool by giving movies that can early billions a 1 star, go watch some artsy movie, this is a summer popcorn flick, sftu and eat your popcorn and enjoy the mindless action.

You might want to consider typing out words like "You" "Your" and "Are" in full if you're going to be calling people mindless idiots... Just a thought. ;)

Believe me, sir, I am not one to correct your spelling errors. I certainly suck at spelling.

That being said, Michael Bay doesn't make movies, he makes pornography and with most DVDs I'd watch running around $40 a pop, $12.50 is a steal to get my ya-yahs out.

Nicely written argument. But I don't agree with the "I don't care about plot/characters/coherence" line for one reason: I was bored out of my mind. A couple of the Decepticon deaths were cool. Other than that it was long and tiresome and not funny and not exciting -- I didn't find the movie entertaining on ANY level, even the mindless-popcorn one. Glad some people didn't feel ripped off though.

steve · 4 months ago

I agree with you for the most part about the movie.
I felt it was much better then the reviewers gave it credit for. I think you hit the nail on the head for the reason why it was given such bad reviews. Critics wanted a real movie, with a plot, character development, and emotion.
I wanted a to see Devastator tear apart some buildings, and Transforming robots kick the shit out of each other.
Guess who got what they wanted?

I also enjoyed the film because it went back to the cartoon roots alittle more. The Fallen, and Devastator. I loved Devastator.

I mean, if you even thought this movie was gonna be award worthy you should have stopped after you saw the cast - Shia Labeouf doesn't speak "Best Actor Oscar winner"

And one more thing, I will defend Michael Bay for as long as necessary. I enjoy all his movies, they may not have the best plot ROTF, or the best science - Armageddon, but they are damn entertaining. And in the end, isn't that the main reason why you see a movie?

This is truly an moronic review. Claiming that that critics don't "get" something right off the bat is juvenile. At the core it basically means you're upset that other people don't agree with your point of view. Saying that you attended a movie with low expectations and then being blown away is almost satirically negative towards the movie. It's all well and good if you have your own individual set of lowbrow values for films, but if you can't recognize basic flaws in the structure of a movie then you have no business writing reviews of them.

I hated this film, so much. Definatly top 5 worst films ive ever endured. Its 2 and a half hours of emotionless, wooden acting with large amounts of that time spent watching cgi robots pummel each other into the ground whilst explosions go on. I didnt know who was good and who was bad, i didnt care if all of them died. Nothing. It was just sat there watching it and thinking "Am i supposed to care about all of this?"


Zero fucking star review

tom · 4 months ago

problem was the robots never showed up after the forest fight scene. They fucking danced around behind the army.

And If I here Shia Laboof say he's got something in is head one more fucking time, he'll have a bullet in his head.

Listen, just because you state a plot point for 2 and a half hours and go to robot heaven for a little bit, does not make for anything even remotely interesting, Get back to the giant robots. . . who are. . . hiding behind the army. . . or 6 inches from the camera so we can't tell wtf is going on.

I've never been so intensly bored. Fuck you and goodnight ladies and gentle man.

See the funny thing is if you had followed transformers in the 80s or beast wras for that matter. or read the comics to go with the movie you would know that there is a huge story and virtually none of the stuff in this movie hasnt been done before in transformers. Which is why if you area transformers fan things made more sense. and guess what? it was made for transformers fans and people who wanted a violent crazy movie. If you dont want the transformers story or explosions and dirty jokes. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO?

steve · 4 months ago

you understand this movie best Melko.
It conformed to the cartoon much better then the first Transformers movie, and even though was filled with lame jokes, it stayed true to it's roots with the semi there story that kinda made sense. That's impressive for a franchise that is entirely based on a toy.

I must say I liked the film, it wasnt totally amazing but it was still entertaining, there were parts which annoyed such as the revival of Megatron part which you mentioned.
However I can see how they have simply ignored pretty much the entire original Transformers storyline and are simply appealing to the casual audience with stuff constantly being blown up and seeing Megan Fox assests bound up and down (not that i'm complaining).
If you ask me they're milking the cash cow for all its worth, especially with such an open ending.

And there's a scene where devastator climbing on top of the pyramid..An ex-sector 7 is calling the navy, ordering to fire devastator..Something like this: "Are you a patriot? Do you love your country? So what are you waiting for? Fire!!!!!! Yes sir! whoever you are, I'll obey your command eventhough you're not the general!!! WTF!!!!!

Agree with Alec - this was a piece of shit on screen.

I wrote up a review here: http://filmvisuality.blogspot.com/2009/07/revie...

"Transformers 2 was like a turd put on screen. Then, they light it on fire, which is interesting for like a second. Then they keep lighting the turd again and again and you get really tired of seeing nothing but a flaming turd, at which point you realise that all you are watching is a piece of shit."

As a whole I thought the movie worked well. The only problems I had with it was, what they did to Jetfire and Devastor. The Constructicons should've had a much bigger role, and Devastator should've been given an overhaul in the design department. Another problem is Megatron taking orders from The Fallen. Megatron takes orders from no one. But all that aside, it worked. Primes fight with Starscream and Megatron was pure awesome. His death captured the same emotion I felt when he died if the '86 animated movie. People complain about bad plot and storyline, but none of that matters. When you're going to see Transformers, you dont care about plot, storyline. You just want to see giant robots destroying citys and beating the crap out of each other. Think back to when you watched the old series, other than Spike, Sparkplug, Chip( the guy in the wheelchair) and Spikes girlfreind, the girl who loved Powerglide, Shawn Berger, the mayor, a couple of security guards, a few paparazzi, a small group of people and Dr. Archeville, the kid who fixed Tracks, 3 street dancers, a gang of thugs, and a club full of people. How much human involvement was there? Not that much I'd wadger.
