* Don't read this if you haven't bought yours yet *

You can read: "Transformers: revenge of the fallen"

It also reveals the price tag,the day and time of the projection, and specifies which room to go to.

And finally, it's a small white piece of paper, with a removable part

If you're gay or a fag, then you probably won't like this movie. If you're a Michael Bay hater, then you definitely won't like the movie. I saw it today and I enjoyed. It was your typical Michael Bay. It had a shit load of action with explosions, helicopters flying aboving, buidlings being demolished, etc..
It wasn't good as the first Transformers but it was still entertaining. My favorite robots in this one were Devastator and Jetfire. And I think it's completely sad that people are trying to start a controversy over this movie. The twins are not racist. They are robots, not black people. Besides, if you have watched these movies before, you know that the transformers mimic or imitate the English language. They say what they think is cool and catchy.

http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/screenreviews/transformers2.htm

The worst summer in recent memory continues as Michael Bay brings his slow push-ins and Lazy Susan dolly shots back to the cineplex with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (hereafter Transformers 2), the ugliest, most hateful, most simple-minded and incomprehensible assault on art and decency since the last Michael Bay movie. It's bad (that goes without saying), and it's possible that even its fans will have the brute sense to recognize that it's bad--but it's bad in such a way that defies easy description. It's so bad, it's exasperating.

The action, as you'd expect, is impossible to follow, with long stretches cascading in on one another without the slightest notion of who's winning, where, and to what end. But that's not why it's bad. It suggests that the evil robots have perfected Terminator technology in the manufacture of a gorgeous slut-bot (Isabel Lucas), who, before trying to kill the returning Sam (Shia LaBeouf) with her go-go-gadget tongue, is humiliated by having heroic Autobot Bumblebee money-shot robot semen all over her face. But that's not why it's bad, either.

Ridiculously poor filmmaking and Bay's wearying misogyny aren't "bad," per se, so much as they're the tools of his auteur canon, of his absolute gold-standard grasp of what it is that prepubescent boys are into and his desire to, as fast as he can, create undercover hardcore porn to gratify those desires. What else to make of the weird girl issues--the entire co-ed Michael Bay U campus populated with hot bimbo chattel, Bay's camera leering obligingly? It's tough to make someone feel sorry for Megan Fox, yet the extent to which she's objectified in this flick has you looking for track marks, smeared mascara, and other evidence of bus-stop porn-star exploitation.
Neither is it bad because of an appalling racism that sees white actor Tom Kenny doing the voices of Mudflap and Skids, Amos & (gold-toothed) Andy robots who declare themselves to be illiterate after a film-long minstrel show.

No, Transformers 2 is bad because it represents every single vile, puny thing that's wrong with the United States. It's ignorant, boorish, loud, and proud of it. It takes a moment to imply that Obama is a pussy for appointing some suit to run super-secret, massively-destructive human/Autobot strikeforce NEST, then expels said suit out the back of a cargo plane carrying a bunch of grunts who need to be told that a desert full of Egyptians are "friendlies." Unless we've been at war with Egypt, of course they're fucking friendlies--exactly whom is Bay educating? He's educating the audience assembled to watch Transformers 2, naturally, because said audience is packed to bursting with idiots on the one hand and people hoping against hope to recapture something of their lost youth on the other.

The problem with Bay is that he hates you. He thinks you're a moron and then you go about proving him right by making his movies obscenely popular. He also hates the Transformers as a cultural relic, having them fart and piss and shit and, in a fairly embarrassing moment in an embarrassing film, sport a pair of giant testicles. Of minor interest is the fact that Bumblebee, unable to speak but in borrowed sound bites, favours Tom Hanks' heroic astronaut Jim Lovell and retarded Republican shrimp farmer Forrest Gump. It's proof positive that Bay is a smart guy, smart enough to understand that Hanks is the voice of the American everyman--meaning Bay isn't dangerous accidentally.

As if it matters, Sam is going to college when giant robots start fighting each other and his hot girlfriend dry-humps a motorcycle and runs in a halter top and slow-motion. Is it pointless? It's at least pointless. It's also cacophonous and bloated with testosterone, a loud picture of Michael Bay's tiny bicep inflated with ILM and THX sound, speckled with what he thinks is funny, like two little gay dogs fucking each other (and a tiny robot leg-humping Megan Fox), for instance, or those old standards of elder/bimbo/Stepin Fetchit humour.

Transformers 2 is a dossier on Bay's shortcomings as a human being and, sadly, by extension it's a snapshot of how we scramble to indulge the worst things in our nature in the dark, in the company of others destined to be either victim or victimizer in their own sad dramas. It's a primer on how we learn to make war by falling in love with the weapons of war without assimilating the real message of Bay's films that all that firepower is the vehicle of male sexual frustration, insecurity, and inadequacy. This is without stopping to consider Bay's trademark collateral toll: hundreds in Shanghai; thousands as all hands go down with an American aircraft carrier; dozens and their camels in the Egyptian village; and the dignity of everyone involved.

Running at around 140 minutes (with a good forty of those taken up by lacklustre flying-the-nest drama featuring Sam's parents), it's as much a dusty monument to the self as the pyramid Transformers 2 destroys at its conclusion--a futile grab at immortality, a collection of screamed performances and shooting at stuff that isn't damaged by shooting, and destined to be a gaudy testimonial to our humiliating, cyclical indulgence of bellicose policies and antiquated social attitudes. It's all so last administration.-Walter Chaw

great movies are not made on opening night and weekend, it is all about word of mouth. Opening night and weekend no one knows what to expect out of a movie, so for a movie like transformers , a big blockbuster event, everyone goes to see it during opening night and the weekend, but it will not I repeat will not make as much as the first one.


I actually hated the first transformers movie, didn't like the comedy style or the zoomed in action. But after watching TF2, Transformers 1 is awesome. There was a well balance of action, drama, and comedy in the first one compared to the overly acted comedy between Sam's parents, the action was boring, the intro to the movie sucked, didn't help me get excited at all.


I was actually hyped for the revenge, from the trailers it looked like it was better then the first, wished they would have put in some of that so called over acting between the parents and Sam in the trailer, I would of had a different mind set.

Hell I even liked most of Michael Bay's films: The Rock, Armageddon, and Bad Boys.

I'm glad I didn't go to the midnight screening of the movie, because I even barely fell asleep when I went to a showing in the afternoon on Wednesday.


I'm hoping someone else directs Transformers 3. Maybe Spielberg can take the reigns away from Bay.

there's no quality in films these days. i mean take a look at the classic badass indiana jones and compare that with the shit they produced last yr. the masses are impressed with graphics but they tend to throw the story, the characters, and everything that really matters to the wayside. fuck cinematography these days and the people who keep destroying our past gems just to make a quick buck.

I went to see this movie yesterday with friends in an iMax. I had hoped that the reviews I read before going to see the movie were exaggerated or just full of hate because it's a movie about metal robots beating the snot out of each other.

The first Transformers was surprisingly decent, but of course some of that had to do with my low expectations for the film.

I went in with a pretty open mind for T2.

What I saw was unreal.

I want to write about how good it is. I want to be sarcastic and say it's the greatest thing I've ever seen on the silver screen.

The movie was so bad that I can't even be satirical about it. The coolest part happened before the movie, actually, as I road-tripped down to see it in a brand new 2010 Camaro SS (the kid's car in the movie, for those of you who are not car buffs).

This movie was seriously one of the biggest wastes of 2.5 hours (yeah, it's that long) of my life. It is putrid. I could write a better script for a movie in a week, and I'm not exaggerating. There ARE several funny moments, but they are so few and far between that it doesn't even begin to justify the utter suck that is this movie.

Even the combat sucks. At times, the camera is so close to the robots, you have no sense of scale and even your basic visual perception of what's happening is ruined. At times, you cannot discern where the camera is even situated, so you get a nauseating sense of disorientation. And there are SO many combat scenes in this movie, that even myself, a tech-junky with a fetish for fast cars and things that go "boom" was, by the end, thinking, "Oh look, another scene where people shoot stuff."

I wanted to walk out of the theater. Some of the quotes from the movie are bizarre, without any relation to the plot or present events around the characters.

SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT: "Give me your face" is an actual quote from this movie. Uttered in a battle scene. What. The hell.

---

Everyone is complaining about Megan Fox's acting, but seriously? It's a high point of the movie compared to some of the other junior high level tripe that completely overwhelms the dialog most of the way through. Let me ask you this: Would YOU be able to act well in a movie like this? Not to defend Ms. Fox, she's little more than a pretty face, but even so, I'm pretty sure Tom Hanks wouldn't be able to find a decent role in this movie. Some of the lines of dialogue are so... bizarre...

I was with a huge group of friends and almost walked out of this movie to sit alone by myself in the lobby. That's how putrid this movie was. I cannot fathom how someone who has any respect for a plot or moderate dialogue or even a watchable film could enjoy this.

Jacob1983 has offered the challenge that it's an "action movie", so you shouldn't expect it to be good. He evidently has never seen such films as Fight Club, The Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction, Gladiator, Braveheart, Iron Man.... the list of stellar action films is very long. And those are just the best of the best, let alone the "just good" or "acceptable" movies full of action and suspense, or larger than life characters. And it's not just prejudice against films involving large metal creatures (for a good film, watch the animated "The Iron Giant").

All in all, this is not necessarily the worst movie I've ever seen by any means, but it is probably in that category. It is the ultimate 13 year olds film. It's sad when I was taking over/under bets on the number of times they'd show Megan Fox from a chest-high camera angle running in slow motion... and the over prevailed.

Or, to put it the most succinctly, my friend who just bought the new Camaro, the guy driving the same car that's in the movie, hated it. Ridiculed and mocked it. This movie is entertainment at it's most base, devalued form.

It's fine that you like movies that are made people entertained by shiny things and explosion, but don't act so surprised that most people think these movies suck dick. Bay makes shitty movies, that's just the way it is.

I guess I'm biased since I used to be a fan of the original cartoon as a kid :D

God damn, Michael Bay was truly raped by a fucking explosion when he was a kid. He clearly has a major hard on for the U.S. military too.

Overall, the movie was meh. I'm a big fan of G1 transformers, so seeing some G1 throwbacks was cool. The forest battle was full of win. CGI was impressive. Humor was over the top and much of it could have been cut out. Too much damn slow motion and rotating cameras.

I hope Michael Bay isn't back for the third one.

This is a stupid opinion because the script was written before obama was president

In one of the CNN "reports" during the movie, they talk about President Obama.

that subplot was written in the movie before the presidency was determined, if mccain won "president mccain" would have been on that report if he won

So then people can still say that they were calling Obama weak or whatever, because they were. It's not a big deal, like you said. Either MCcain was going to be weak or Obama, but they did make mention of it, so people CAN make proper assumptions about it. No big deal.

What's wrong with Michael Bay being pro-military? Would you rather have him bash the military like some directors do in movies? And what's wrong with explosions? Explosions kick ass. Seriously, you guys need to stop bitching about this movie. We get that you hate it but a lot of people went to see it and loved it. And if you think you can do a better job than Michael Bay, then direct a fuckin' blockbuster movie then you can bash him. All of you haters probably had never heard of Transformers until the first one came out in 2007.

My 2 cents....this movie was beyond bad. I love special effects and action, but a good story is what makes me care about said effects, set pieces and action. It was quite disappointing and all of the corny and cheesy things in the first Transformers were amplified here to heights only imagined by the 3 stooges.

I thought it was a good movie. Although, I wished it would have shown less robots and more of Megan Fox on motorcycles. :D I thought the "black" robots were funny. I think a few scenes should have been cut out to save some time, but overall I thought it was pretty good.

horrible movie. 2.5 hours!!! I was tempted to walk out about 1.45 hours in but thought, it's almost over....:bang

and NO you're not biased because you loved the cartoon as a kid. EVERYONE did. You're just blind to the fact this movie sucks ass... Cryhavoc was right on in his review. The action would have been cool if the camera wasn't so damn close and you could actually tell what the hell was going on....

I don't know he managed to do it, but Bay made a movie about robots fighting each other and filled with big explosions boring as hell.

That its also filled with almost every single predictable movie cliche known to mankind didn't make it any easier to sit through. I literally felt like I'd seen the movie a dozen times before.

If all they'd done was cut to the robots fighting and nothing else, I could live with that, but all the filler made me want to gag.

Hold the phone, I never said that this movie was the best movie ever made. I also never said that it was going to win Best Picture either. I simply said that it was an entertaining action movie. I will admit that it wasn't as good as the first one and the story had some holes and the last battle was weak but it's a Michael Bay movie. He makes movies for his fans, not critics.

The entire time I suffered through this movie I thought about how this is the perfect example of "why they hate us" with "us" being America. The action was pretty good I suppose but the dialouge was some of the worst in cinema history. I've really wanted to watch Idiocracy since then however.

This movie sucked ass.

New rule: Don't invent new transformers, EVER. The two black transformers that couldn't read LOL.

At least in the first Transformers you could see fingerprints of Spielberg, in this movie Michael Bay was given 200 billion dollars and no one to keep him in check. Keep him in check and you get Bad Boys, The Rock or Transformers 1.

It seriously reminded me of that episode of south park where the aliens were taking over and the government asked michael bay for help.

govt: Mr. bay, do you have any ideas??
Bay: Yeah, you take a bus, and slam it into a building, and BOOOOOM CG!!!
govt:...but sir, that's not an idea
Bay: okay, you get a motorcycle, and jump it over a helicopter into a building, and BOOOOOOM CG!!!!!

Something along those lines, but you get the point. Also, the script sucked balls, Bay managed to butcher that too. What a waste...

Are all you haters of this movie the kind of people that thought Brokeback Mountain, Rent, and Milk were the best movies ever?

Do you honestly think Michael Bay gives a fuck about the critics? The man has made millions of dollars by making movies where shit gets blown. Love him or hate him, he's made some kick ass action movies. And if you say The Rock sucked then you're a pussy.

How do you type with Bay's balls slamming against your chin?

Anyway, no one expects a deep drama when going to watch this movie, but they expect a good action movie which this is not. This movie sucks - even by Bay's standards.

Bay does know how to bring in the dough. I'll give him that. He needs to find better writers/editors though. The dog humping scenes and the mom getting high are two stupid and uncessary scenes. This is Transformers. Not some teenage comedy.
