Apathy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I saw the movie Wednesday night and walked into the theater with all of the hype and joy from watching the previews on TV and walked out of that theater all disappointed and bummed out. I thought that the plot sucked, way too long, not enough action and when there was it was short and sweet except for the ending, the comedy was way over done. Your opinions......

HuskerJen Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Didn't see the 1st one, won't see the 2nd one so...meh. Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I liked it, but I'm easy to please... I didn't see an oscar winning cast, so I didn't expect it from the actors.... Quote Link to comment
huskertim Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I saw it last night (Sat). I didn't have great expectations, but I thought it was pretty good. I thought the overtly racist comic relief (the 2 Chris Rock sound alikes) was unneccessary and I found the epiphany scene towards the end to be pretty cheesy, but overall there were hot chicks and stuff got blowed up real good so I was satisfied.

redout22 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I havent seen either of them. I think the commercials looked sweet though. Did you guys think the 1st or 2nd one was better? Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I enjoyed the first one. But this thing was all over the place. This guy on IMDB cracked me up earlier today. It's a long post, but his utilization of the return key makes it a light read: link Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't except it to be anything more than a summer blockbuster with big f*cking robots and you will too. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 the movie is about giant alien robots who transform into sweet rides or jet fighters and then smack the ever-lovin' CRAP outta each other for the better part or an hour and forty-five minutes. that was sweet. and then there was about forty-five minutes of shia lebeouf and megan fox's characters stumbling around the flippin' planet and trying to admit that they both "love" each other. the movie came to a dead-screeching halt every time these two idiots where on screen. note to bay and speilberg: when your audience openly wishes the slow and painful deaths of your two main protagonists at the metal hands of giant robots, you should probably re-write the script. bottomline: watch it for the mindless carnage between to competing races of killer robots and block out the humans. if you do that, you'll enjoy the movie just fine.

Fuzzy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I actually had hype over this movie, i havent seen it yet, but from what im hearing (and there is alot of it). This movie is a classic Bay movie, lots of action, very little plot. With those two things, ill save my money and wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it over at a friends house.

bennychico11 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 like the Fuzzy said...you're watching a Michael Bay movie. You have to realize it's gonna be a non-thought provoking movie. I just rewatched the first one last night and haven't gone to see the second one yet, but I commented to SWMBO that you watch Michael Bay movies when you're in a mood not to think and just want to see a cool CGI/action flick.

huskerfan500 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ive seen it three times (once IMAX, not that much better (aka not like dark knight was in improvement). I thought it was awesome, sure it is easy to point out the errors (like the main general died in the first one, or they the twins and the little robot disappear), but it is what it is supposed to be-entertaining. I did think their was a little too much comedy (mom and humping), but it was still funny so whatever. The action was awesome but could have been a little more. I know i am probably too biased but if you want to be entertained and dont need an oscar worthy movie--see it. about 200 million dollars back me up on that Quote Link to comment

They didn't introduce the new autobots to the fans and the plot just bounced all over the place. I really thought that Michael Bay should've done a better job with this one expecially the script and humor but I think that the first one has more action in it than this one. But damn was the ending ORGASMIC . Now that was the type of Transformers movie I was looking forward too. Also I'm glad that is didn't do better than the Dark Knight in its opening week Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The genre argument is a cop-out. Bad logic is bad logic. Trite, lazy humping jokes are, well, trite and lazy. This movie was a bit of a bloated mess. Quote Link to comment
