Transformers 2 disappointed me.
Bah -it was ok, but much cheesier than 1.
Megan was really shite- and I loved her in 1. The mum is the best imo, now she is funny!!

The Mum is awful, the two pet dogs are better actors.

I really liked the film

It Started great there was no need for her to be pearched on the bike doing the air brushing but thank you for putting her there.
Optimus could actually fight in this film which was epic he was such a pussy in the last film I'm glad he got some teeth.
The twins i though were used well just to break things up and give you a laugh
The remote control car was great
Also i kept seeing other films in it like Star wars for the master apprentice part and PotC that Blackbird transformer reminded me of squid face

It had it's flaws, lots of plot niggles, but over-all it was very enjoyable and made up quite a bit for the first one. The jokes were still lame, but some were funny.

I enjoyed watching it, and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Unsurprising from the man who thinks of Nicolas Cage as a great actor. ;)

Sometimes you just have to let go and enjoy things. Transformers cartoons hardly had the most solid plots, the humans always managed to survive in between the huge fighting robots. These things have not changed, we are just much older now.

Meh, for the most part I found Transformers 2 pretty inoffensive, I wasn't able to stupidify myself enough to fully appreciate it though.

Nicolas Cage is still shit though :).

If you continue this Cage baiting you are asking for some negative rep. :ninja:

I think you'll need to spread around some of your filthy Cage loving hate-rep before you give it to me again. So hah!

I noticed a continuity error.
Sam is at the frat party and he just said to the fit bird "i need a napkin" or something.
He gets a drink which is some kind of green liquor, the glass is full.
We pan to the fit bird and back to Sam, the glass is empty.
Finally another cut to and fro and the drink is full again.

Ah yes but the robots were always there, they didnt disappear and reappear mid scene!

Also did you realise the pyramids of giza were not in the right place? They are actually in a city, and we see them there in the middle of a desert with little huts around it.

The biggest continuity error was that Megan Fox could not have been in Egypt, or the US, she was here sitting on my dick.....

























































































wasn't she? :(

Didn't like it. Have a few points in a big old spoiler thingy. Some good, most bad.
It was a poorly edited and seemed like a jigsaw puzzle pieced together from 10 different puzzles.

Bay learned something in FEW scenes, rest was the same blur vs blu fights where you could call it "eye-strain-o-vision" to see what's going on.

The transformers, as shown on the title, became sidekicks. Some even jarjar alike sidekick-sidekicks.

Since when did bumblebee kick more ass then optimus?

Devastator? Please. Two rules. 1: Make it a walking asskicking robot. 2: Someone, preferably megatron, should say "constructicons, form devastator!"

Speaking of megatron. Total b*tchslap for his "ooh scary" status. He became as important as starscream after the fallen came into play.

Bikes were nice(loved the two second bit which reminded me of the old pink girlbot), but the transformation with riding on one wheel...made me cry a bit.

Panther bot gets a big three thumbs up, best work in the movie.

Let's have a sad deathscene for optimus. Bring him to the airbase with the sun setting in the background. Sad music and ....drop him from a good 30 feet? :eek7: Yeah respect that b*tch!

Not even going into some of the writing of it.

I could give it 4 transformations for the action, if i could bloody well SEE what was going on instead of watching this spinning metal thingy colliding with this metal thingy.

If shot from far or with slow-mo, it worked. I give it that. Up close, it became mashed metal taters.

For a title "Transformers", it was more of a "Story of relationship troubles with some robot bits in it".

Most of the movie was WAITING for something interesting to happen, and then after 3-5 seconds, wait some more.

A friend said it best; "These new transformers have made me almost hate transformers."

EDIT: Oh yeah, it was threading on the line for a long time, but devastator with balls stepped over it.

Might get better with a smaller screen and seond watch, but i don't hold big hopes.

Any Transformers fan will totally love this film

Any transofrmer fan would burn Bay at the stake and let rabid wolves nibble on his private parts for making the new bots as they are. No personality, no distinct outlooks etc.

One thing i agree on, bring Loud Noises 3. New director(if rumours are true) and hopefully new way of making it.

Arcee now that you mention it.

And i can't be arsed to remember every bot from 20+ years ago.

Especially since most of them are fubar and the latest installation was more of a "horay for us army" then transformers.

Just got around to watching it last night, 6 out of 10. I think this definitely works better if you neither know nor care about all the original Transformers characters (as in my case); couldn't tell most of the secondary autobots in particular apart most of the time, didn't care.

thought the slutty girl/decepticon was very well done, thought the whole thing was too long, the twins were fucking Jar-Jar-level-irritating, but Michael Bay does do good War Porn even if his geography sucks.

Whats wrong with the bots?

You can't have the exact same looking robots from 20 years ago, people moan that Soundwave was a satallite but in the transformers cartoons he always transformed into something useful and intelligence wise for the decepticons.

Also pantherbot? you call yourself a fan? pathetic, Ravage is Soundwaves most known minibot and does not deserve you calling it pantherbot, hell even Bay managed to get that right.

Poorly edited? can you give details instead of saying just poorly edited?

The film was not perfect but at the end of the day it is a summer blockbuster popcorn film which is going to have the big bangs in and is going to have the cheesey one liners.

I'm a huge Transformers fan i have every single G1 toy boxed in minted condition in my attic.

Yes i wish they could give the robots more screen time instead of the humans, yes i wish devastator kicked arse, yes i wish there were more robots from the cartoon and yes i wish the story was better.

For christs sake though get over the fact it isn't an exact remake of what we all know and love from the 80's/90's it's never going to happen and if you didn't like the first film why bother going to see the new one?

I for one appreciate that something i loved as a kid has had it's big screen time, i know the films aren't perfect but seriously what the fuck is?

Other films are perfect -or a lot closer to. Not too much to expect more, especially considering the budget.

The FH board have decreed that you must disclose the global positioning system co-ordinates of your attic together with a list of diary dates when nobody will be present in or around said attic.

:p
