Where’s the beef?
Shit blows up and Megan Fox’s ass. What’s not to Love.
Like to watch Stargate Atlantis episodes and also Lost. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
The thing that I don’t understand is why the HELL everyone changes their opinion just over some stupid thing like if a movie was good or not? I thought it was fucking amazing! yes the blatant racism was a bit too much, but over all it was a good movie. Megan Fox can’t act herself out of a plastic bag, but can obviously make the Casting Director get such a hard on for her he hires her…
All I am saying is that most of the people on this thing have changed their opinions of it. The movie was kinda out there, but I bet you went to “Don’t mess with the Zohan.” and watched the whole damn thing….
All I have to say is if you go to Bruno, then don’t tell me about “good” entertainment… any person with an IQ of 38 can be insulting and stupid. Doesn’t take skill…
If you generally hated the movie completely and utterly because YOU hated the movie, sorry about you wasting time and money, more time than money cause that shit was long. But, if you “hated” the movie just because Oliva Munn has a Vagina and she’s pretty and you want her to e-mail you back because you agree with her… it’s time for you to go ahead and have that date with the bottle of vasoline and her sister Kleenex….
Liked it better than the first one actually. Coulda did without some of the comedic attempts. And your poll is biased Munn.
I’ll probably go see it. I likes me some ’splosions.
Mmmm… Megan Fox’s ass… wait what was the cuestion?
i loved the movie. and i can see that people are still living in the 60’s get over the whole racist thing and just enjoy a movie.
Yo that was a awesome movie. The best 2 and a half hours. time well spent. The explosion, action, story, everything, and of course Megan Fox. Micheal Bay is the perfect director for this fanchanise. Can’t wait till the third one comes out, I think that will be better then this one which is good because the movie gets better as the next movie comes out.
saw it friday,
It sucked!! The first one was so much better. Michael Bay pulled a George Lucas and made what was fun about the first one and made it really cheesy the second time around. The movie was one extra act too long. The beginning was great, the ending was great (although it did feel like they rushed it to wrap it up), everything in the middle was dragged out and sucked! Whoever wrote the dialogue should have their hands broken. It was so cheesy. It was like George Lucas wrote it because it reminded of Episodes 1 & 2…thats how bad it was. The romance scenes were eye rolling too. Whose bright idea was it to take the main Autobot characters from the first one, push them into the background to focus on the most racist stereotypical twins?? They are the worst characters since Jar Jar Binks….they made Jar Jar Binks look like Shaft! Did you really need those two for comic relief? You already had every main human character deliver cheesy comic relief…the mother was annoying, ok we get it, she’s an idiot…did Shia Lebouf need a new whiny bitch sidekick? Wasn’t Bumblebee his sidekick to begin with? Did we need John Turturro back for more than 10 minutes of screen time? In two years, how come Bumblebee still can’t talk? The radio speaking got tired quick. Why have Optimus Prime be absent through the entire middle act? Did you really need an Egyptian midget soldier? The main villain, The Fallen, which is supposed to be this biggest bad-ass, lasted about 20 seconds against Prime? WTF? Also, I didn’t like the fact that they made Optimus Prime take “pleasure” in destroying the enemy. Heroes don’t do that. Its also obvious now and its tired, that Michael Bay has a huge hard-on for the military. He should direct their commercials instead. Everytime when they popped up, the movie started to drag. This movie also had a huge body count…I think more than any Schwarzenegger flick.
The only saving graces that made this movie truly not sucking hard were the special effects, the action scenes, the banter between Megatron and Starscream (which was like the cartoon and comics) and of course Megan Fox…god damm she looked amazing.
I give it a c+
shit was awful…like Bad Boys II awful. For a movie thats extra long and dragged out they did alot of rushing towards the end. Sitting there watching i wondered from time to time has Michael Bay ever heard of the editing room floor and i wanted to reassure him that its ok to trim some unnecessary fat off of a movie then leave it there.
This time around we were treated to not one but TWO extra niggerish robots…so niggerish to the point where they should have been voiced by the Ying Yang Twinz (Sambo Wonder Twin robots unite!)…one even had a gold tooth. I felt like alot of the good scenes with the twins was ruined by more than enough jive talking niggerdom…there was entirely too much of “them” in the movie to the point where the other new autobots got little to no face time whats so ever. I actually expected to see more of the one that was the Stingray Corvette concept car…but naw didnt happen. I like what they did with Soundwave but why the fuck they do that to Arcee?
what was up wit all the vulgarity?!? Like if i could make robots chew Orbitz gum i would…even Sam’s mom was talking shit ….. it just seemed highly unnecessary…”wont someone think of the children!?!”
Even though the fight scenes this time around looked less like tangled wires rolling around i still ran in to the issue of “is that an Autobot…or a Decepticon right there…what just happened?” Optimus Prime vs. The Fallen battle was super anti-climatic. The Fallen altogether didnt really seem Boss status at all…I felt like Megatron was too G to be basically kissing dude feet and came off as bitchmade…Michael Bay + the writers turned Megatron into a big fat pussy.
Finally, i’ve seen better plots from the 80’s G1 animated series…any episode at random. This movie suffers from the weird indifference of “too much and not enough at the sametime.”
Why does everyone associate a gold tooth to black people. Seriously, my mom, who is mexican, has had a gold cap on one of her teeth since childhood. I went to a high school where %95 were latinos, and they all spoke like the twins. My point, why do people automatically see “black” or african american”. How many rednecks out there can’t read, have a gold tooth and use slang, I bet more than you think.
….Im African American by the way and was definitely offended by the movie.
lol @ the poll. The movie trailer says it all. har har.
After watching this movie, I needed some quite time.
Thought it was good. Not as good as the first. It’s a popcorn movie so wasn’t expecting great plot and acting anyways
Wow, people are completely missing the point of a Transformers movie. You go to see giant robots smashing stuff, not for compelling dialog and story.
I was thinking about seeing this movie, but then with you and kev walking out on it, together with a fan’s (@TrojanMayhem) rave reviews of it. I figure it’s not for me.
I didn’t vote cos that would be unethical and may even skew the results of your poll unfairly.
Michael Bay should not be allowed to make anymore movies and I really don’t appreciate his attempts to ruin one of the favorite parts of my childhood.
Shia Le Douf needs to quit acting.
Speilberg has some sick obsession with him and seems bound and determined to make him into a superstar even though he does not have the talent and charisma to be a superstar.
I am beginning to think he is Speilberg’s bastard child or something.
The first one was absolutely terrible and I considered going to this one, but I rented Indiana Jones Crystal Skull the night before and it was so terrible and Shia beyond horrible it made up my mind not to go.
Besides I knew the movie was crap (one of the worst I have ever seen) considering the only thing that was promoted was not the movie, not the main star Shia, but Megan Fox and her ass.
I am sorry she is good looking, but she is not super hot and she does not have a great ass, and she is weird and annoying. Certainly not worth $10 and 3 hours of my time.
Michael Bay and Judd Apatow need to go away and stop ruining Hollywood.
Haven’t watched it due to you and Kevin walking out on it 30 minutes into it
HEYYYYYYYYYYYY…I HAVEN’T SEEN IT YETTTTTTT…!!!!……I
NEED TOOOOOOOOO……..!!!!!!……..OOOOOOOOO….K
No you don’t. Run from the hype and save your money!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… Megan Fox is way overrated. And I’d much rather watch a movie that intellectually stimulates me instead of seeing another ridiculous explosion on a movie screen.
they only showed megan’s ass once or twice, they also showed another girls ass & panties close up
pretty nice ass buy the way…
everyone that i know that saw it maybe 30 people all liked it… come on what did you want a serious movie…..these are transformers……the cartoon was silly also… “id like to kick him in he’s turbocharger….”
i think people are more upset because they wanted to see more robots and robot action and alittle less human military stuff
WHAT A LOAD OF SHITE!!!!!!
I enjoyed it. I didn’t go see it for it’s riveting story line. To say the storyline is “nonsensical” is pretty retarded. It’s a Michael Bay movie. It’s like saying you watch pr0n for the acting..
I just find it funny that the movie critics who say this is “the worst movie ever” are the same people that tried to convince the world that “Brokeback Mountain” was a great flick.
I liked it. Was it the best movie ever? No, far from it, but it was fun, made me laugh several times and I have to admit, watching Megan Fox’s ass is not a bad way to spend 2 hours.
I didn’t like the first one but a bunch of friends were going so i thought if the second installment would be better.The visuals were great if course but that alone doesn’t keep me interested.The story was way left field and nonsensical.It had no heart,especially the characters so i wasn’t invested in them or the story.Megan Fox was just used for eye candy which isn’t sweet at all in my opinion.Shia wasn’t too bad but still not great…maybe it was the context that let him down.I get why you walked out 30mins in to the flick Olivia.I though Lindsay looking pathetic was far more entertaining.
One of the worst movies that I have ever seen.
megan fox is fucking annoying, honestly. she makes my dick NEGATIVE hard. I could piss on my own balls due to the shrinkage she causes.
The movie BLEW ASS in IMAX, that screen is waaaaaaay too fucking big to even tell what in the hell is going on. I didn’t like the movie at all…
Then I watched it again today on a normal screen and sat AAAAAAAAAAAALL the way in the back, and I missed so many damned things because of the imax experience…
So much better on a regular screen, gives your brain the ability to process what in the hell is going on. Cannot wait for the blu-ray to come out.
pastor ?
i never went in a church ,,, i was raised to believe in myself and others not some god.
u must be gay dude
just as gay as your pastor.
We’re only there for the robots. That’s why it’s making so much money. The juvenile toilet humor has no place in a sci-fi epic adventure.
I find it very sad that in this 2.5 hour movie, I liked only about 7 minutes of it, which was the interrogation scene and following forest scene. Too bad the whole movie wasn’t that cool or intense.
ILM is awesome, and they’re only there to polish Michael Bay’s idiotic movie. And they polish this turd very very well.
TF is brainless (when it doesn’t have to be, who cares if its based on toys) and should’ve been more on the level of intelligence and fun that Iron Man had.
Someone please get Michael Bay off this franchise now and get Transformers a director with vision and not just visuals.
Oh and yes i do like explosions and Megan Fox’s ass.
Skev, thank you good sir lol. Yeah… the ass shot was HORRIBLE.
Your comment gets a five, “Fate rarely calls us at a moment of our choosing.”
out of five
I liked a lot more than I thought I would. I’ll never get tired of seeing Prime kicking robot ass. I found a lot more stuff annoying in the first movie. I really could have gone without the Turturro ass shot. I mean, come on please. Really? Why? WHY? I think Bay = Gay. There really are some things you can’t un-see. Other than that, awesome movie I think.
And please to all you Transformers fans who are offended by this film. Give me a break. Quit your bitchin’. You can always make up your own little adventures with your own little toys. Off you go. Go play with your toys.
If it was any other movie it may have come across okay, however it is titled Transformers and yes this is is a fair movie for what it is and what it achieved (amazing visuals etc), but it isn’t a Transformers movie……The Dark Knight is a great movie for what it is also, but its also a Batman movie since it captures the characters (ie Joker from The Killing Joke Graphic Novel perfectly)….John Turturro is awesome in it though (hell he was even the stand out in Mr. Deeds….I am very very sneaky, sir.).
Umm.. what were those robotic things in the movie that turned into cars and trucks and other things? Oh yeah, they were TRANSFORMERS. So I guess that’s why they called the movie TRANSFORMERS. I think all you guys give the cartoon WAY too much credit. It wasn’t that great okay? I liked it when I was a kid but honestly, it’s not that great of a cartoon. Bad animation, just terrible really. And the plot? Well let’s see What’s happening in this episode? Oh Megatron and some other decepticons are gonna blow this thing up and the autobots show up and stop him, the end, credits roll. That’s it. That’s like EVERY EPISODE. The only other thing to compare the movie to is toys. Inanimate objects.
If you don’t like the movie, fine but really, what do you expect? I expected to hate it but I thought it was pretty damn cool. Awesome robot fighting, a little too much human interaction but, some good fighting. I could stand to see a little more of Isabel Lucas honestly. I mean, good lord, was she a special effector what? And there was the new Optimus quote said in that voice: “Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.”. I like it. There was some dumbness sure, but what movie doesn’t have a little dumbness? I think there was more dumbness in the first movie really.
I’ll end up seeing this again I’m sure. I’ll get it on blu-ray and watch it a bunch more. When they make another one I’ll go and see that one and I’ll probably like that one too. Then I’ll get online and see all you guys online picking it apart, saying it’s not a real transformers movie… raped my childhood… blah blah blah… wah wah wah. Then I will laugh. I will laugh hard and I will laugh long.
Hey, it was a hell of a lot better than WANTED. But then, what movie isn’t better than that pice of crap?
…Fox is wasted, given nothing more to do than wear revealing outfits and pout.
Looked good. worth watching.. Keepin it nice and short.
If you ever wondered what a movie would look like geared toward the underdeveloped brain of a gestating zygote…then Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the insipid illustration you’ve been waiting for.
First off, a great day to all and especially to you, Olivia. I’m your avid fan and a rabid follower of your site. I must say that you and OM.com rocks!
Ok, here goes my first comment. The movie disappointed me in a ton of ways because:
1. Transformers 2 is underplotted.
2. Too many unnecessary scenes (Shia’s mom getting high and Wheelie doin little humping action to his delight…he’s a machine, he doesn’t get excited down there like us real men).
3. The movie’s momentum breaks a lot of times. Bay should get lessons from Nolan and Boyle how to keep the viewers’ attention glued to the movie.
4. It was funny but most of it’s humor were cheap and totally not essential to the film (see number 2.)
5. Way too many slowmo worm’s eye view shots (well, it’s Bay, what do you expect?)
6. I thought this movie is for the kids and for the kids in us? The movie almost matched the number of curses mentioned in Ice Cube’s Friday movies.
7. Robots with a gold tooth and an illiterate one? I heard these are Bay’s ideas.
Those only are the little things that made Transformers a disappointing experience. Here are the major points:
1. Too many human elements, the film is entitled Transformers…TRANSFORMERS!
2. The robots this time look more alien-like in design. I’ve had enough of the realistic approach, c’mon we love the old-school, box-type designs of the animated series. And robots with beards and whiskers?
3. Why in the blue hell Devastator is climbing the pyramid after busting it out with the twins while battling the Autobots and soldiers at the same time?
4. The weapons that struggled to topple down the Decepticons in the first movie destroy them with relative ease this time around.
5. Poor characterization on the Autobots and Decepticons. We barely heard Sideswipe and Arcee talk and we wanted more of Megatron and Starscream’s arguments. 2 1/2 hours but screen time was wasted on the college scenes and pointless jokes and rants by the twins.
6. Ironhide and Ratchet, the first movie’s heroes have become empty thin cans. They are just there to shoot and run then shoot again.
7. Pooooor lines.
8. The twins! Hello Jar2 Binks, you now have company.
9. Fight scenes were awesome and furious but the finale was quick and overmatched. It should have been a handicap match of the 2 most bad-a*s robots in the galaxy against 1 Autobot with just plane that enable him to fly.
10. Lastly, the humans have more kills than the Autobots. One blast on Devastator and he’s down, one barrage on the Decepticons and they’re all down. The movie is about the Transformers, not our triumph over the evil robots. Bay should be eaten alive by Unicron.
Urgh crap on the original fan base or what:
.
Of the HUNDREDS (if not thousands) of Autobots & Decepticons he could put in the movie from G1/post-animated movie……..why the hell does he need to make up new Autobots/Decepticons for his movie? Instead of making up Jolt & Rampage & the like, why not put in Shockwave, Hot Rod, Blurr, Rumble, Thundercracker….the list goes on.
.
And to ones he DOES put in hardly get a look-in. Sideswipe does ONE decent thing & then all you see of him is the occasional shot of him as a car.
.
Which leads to the “Twins”. Sideswipe & Sunstreaker were the only damn twins. Skids was a completely different Autobot & Mudflaps is just another one of the above mentioned made up Autobots.
.
And I’m not saying they should use ‘em all up in one movie……I’m saying, out of the MULTITUDES of characters available, WHY does Bay feel the need to create new ones?
.
Then there’s Bumblebee kicking ass? He would have trouble taking on Ravage for fucks sake .. let alone Devastator. He was a SCOUT…couldn’t fight for Shit. He was also the most “human” of them all being so small & close to human size.
.
And major bitch 5,000…..when has Megatron ever called anyone “Master”? The ONLY time I recall was Unicron & even then, it was because Unicron was killing him & it was forced out of him. Megatron bows to NO ONE.
.
The other thing (among many obviously), that really bugged me about this (and the first one) was how cramped it all was. You couldn’t tell which transformer was which. Hell, even when they managed to get into some open space, it was hard to differentiate who was who….and the desert scene was way too long.
.
They got my money the first time, they got my money the second time, they won’t a third time even without Bay at the helm (unless it’s a reboot Batman style)…..this is not Transformers this is just an action movie about robots from Outer Space.
.
At one point I was actually thinking perhaps in the future there’ll be a Transformers/Terminator cross-over movie and the Decepticons will be the ones who helped set-up SkyNet (or the Borg from Star Trek even). Yeah I know the back history and that Isabel Lucas was supposed to be a Pretender, (a little-known experiment from some of the new Japanese G1 cartoons which failed miserably over there), but it was muddled and Non-Transformer Fans would be thinking Terminator anyway.
.
It’ll make a killing at the Box Office, but I really want to see if it holds up next week, perhaps to people who are not Transformers fans this is a good movie I don’t know, all I know is if it ends up in the $5 bargain bin at Wal-Mart, I won’t be buying it then either.
Sir, please step away from the computer and put down the nerd rage.
Thank you,
Love Nathan
The movie got 22% on rottentomatoes. It was that bad? sheesh. it’s probably because of megan fox’s poor acting. lol
I bet if Olivia had the role, “mikaela” would’ve been more kick*ass, funny and most of all not “plastic”!!
This movie was awful!
The plot was a little ridiculous, a ancient code became ingrained into Sam’s mind because he touched a piece of the all spark, Really? Why didn’t that happen in the first film while he was carrying the damn all spark around?
The Twins became annoying after 5 minutes, excessive use of slow motion became tiresome and overly redundant. Personally, I like how Sam showed up in the middle of the Desert with a full blown cast on his hand with little to no explanation as to how that happened, that was priceless.
And when I think Transformers I think Optimis Prime. Prime not being in the film 90% of the time was horse shit, and his fight with The Fallen and Megatron was way too short and anti-climatic.
You need to learn to pay attention. When Jetfire transports them, Sam falls on his hand, he injures his hand, hence the wrap around it.
Ah….no he said and I quote “. Personally, I like how Sam showed up in the middle of the Desert with a full blown cast on his hand with little to no explanation as to how that happened”, anyone reading that can take it either way. If he got a cut on his hand and then boom, out of nowhere he has a bandaid, do we really need to see an explanation where that bandaid came from and actually show him putting it on……..ah no, no thx.
No, no, no. He’s saying that all of a sudden he has a full blown bandage on his hand out of nowhere with no explanation of where, when, or how he acquired the materials to do that
your opinion your entitle to it.
Transformers 2 was a mess, cool CG, but a mess of a story.
good. lot of dumb lines though
It’s not perfect, but it was a fun movie. Isn’t that why we go to the movies to have fun and be entertained.
i went to the midnight showing with a bunch of friends. it was soooooo much fun. i loved the movie - loved the first one too. it was an awesome popcorn flick. not too serious, full of action, explosions, and hot people (megan & shia both!)
In my opinion, this is exactly what a summer flick shouldn’t be. Star Trek, which kicked off the summer movie season, was everything a summer flick should be. It had nonstop action, but it still contained good writing, character development, and the right kind of humor. Transformers on the other hand…can I have my time machine?
Aside from bashing on Micheal Bay, Ill give credit were credit is due. Micheal Bay did an awesome job on this movie. It was a nice sequel to the first one.
I liked it but then again I like movies with a lot of action and this one was filled with it from start to finish.
better than the first one easily, still more flaws than i could list here. but it actually might be his best movie next to the island….lol.
I would wear a Micheal Bay shirt ONLY if it said Micheal BaySPLOSIONS.
Funny, this poll only has 3 options, 2 of them being cheap shots at Bay and the movie, why not make a 4th option thats says
“Loved the movie, I would wear a shirt that says I’m a Michael Bay Fan.”
Baysplosions any one? The movie was good for the most part but there were a few parts where the movie almost halted to a stop for me. Other than a few slow parts the movie was over all good.
(Yes that’s a robot chicken reference.)
Freaking luv’d the movie, going to see it again on the 15th of July, watch it right before I see Harry Potter. Transformers 2 might even find a spot on my top 10 favorite movie list. This movie did what it was suppose to do, entertain me, I went into that theater with no high expectations, no low expections. After the movie was over, sure my mind turned back on, I started to questioned alot of things about the movie, plot holes, movie mistakes and what not, but in the end, I still luv this movie, gets a A+++
Havn’t seen it and based on chud.coms review…i will rent it.
it was entertaining, a bit long but entertaining. and yea i’ll pretty much watch anything with explosions and Megan Fox’s ass.hahaha i’d watch it if it had your ass hangin out too Munn, btw you loosing weight (<–that’s some expert level brown nosing right there
