Jetfire: "My father was a wheel! The first wheel! And do you know what he transformed into? Nothing! But he did it with honour!"

 

 

Optimus Prime: "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!" ...and then Optimus grabs The Fallen's face to make him watch as he's being stabbed through the spark.

 

 

:carms: If you don't think that's awesome then you're crazy, man.

Speaking of Keanu Reeves: you want to see a movie where he's so out of place that it's epically comical? Watch Braham Stoker's Dracula, where he's surrounded by a veritable wealth of acting talent. Everyone, and I mean everyone in that film can act -except him. It's ****ing hilarious. It's also a great and thoroughly entertaining movie in spite of him.
He also gets laid by S&M vampire brides, so yeah, that was the only redeeming quality of his character. :naughty:

I went and saw it the other day. My first thought when I came out of it was, "I want two hours of my life back."

 

The action sequences were wonderful. I loved them. The robots were awesome--especially Optimus and the old one with the walking stick (whose name escapes me at the moment). :p I cannot get enough of fight scenes like that. It's just fun watching giant robots kickin' butt. :xp:

 

That's the half hour I didn't want back.

 

The rest of it was dirty and crude, for the sake of being dirty and crude. There wasn't any point to it. Seriously? The dogs? And why can't whats-her-face just kiss her lame boyfriend and get it over with instead of going and taking off her pants? Sheesh...

 

I'm sure the college part was quite realistic, but it was also really terrible.

 

Throughout the rest of it, even in the middle of the action sequences, they'd go and put in random, pointless sex jokes.

 

It had some good lines. If I ever see it again, I'll be skipping past most of it. 2/10.

I agree with Endorenna on all accounts.

 

I also think that if they make another one, the two idiot twins should be killed in the first sequence. Without a chance to speak.

I'm not like the people who think they were a racist joke (I don't care about that), but I didn't like their constant use of foul language and the way they were built.

 

They should have been built more like the other autobots, but noooo, they had two look like some stupid toys from a B movie.

 

Without those two: Awesome!

 

With those two: Fail!

*pokes the thread*

 

In Transformers the Movie, Megatron did have a master he answered to. Unicron. Of course he was a wreck and was reformatted into Galvatron, and was given a bunch of Sweeps. :D

 

...The robots were awesome--especially Optimus and the old one with the walking stick (whose name escapes me at the moment)...

 

Alpha Trion? From the mini-series the Key to Vector Sigma. During the original pre The Movie series. One of my favourites because it gave a glimpse into the past of the homeworld.

See, I pretty much disregard that since Galvatron didn't serve Unicron willingly. Galvatron kept insisting that he answered to nobody, but Unicron had control over him to make him do his bidding.

 

The point was that Megatron was the leader of the Decepticons, not this guy called The Fallen.

 

One of the positives I didn't bring up that I thought about latter was the tension between Megatron and Starscream. That was pretty sweet.

Finally got around too seeing it. Have some mixed feelings. But basically if you asked someone to make a movie that men would love and women would hate, they would make Transformers 2. Giant robot action, every woman is smoking hot, and plot holes to drive a truck through.

 

The Good

Giant transforming robots fight battle after battle with explosive weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. This is a fanboy's dream. The visuals in this film just blew me away. Heads being ripped off, buildings exploding, it had it all. Characters that I loved growing up make appearances, and it was great having Welker back as Soundwave.

 

The Bad

The story is poor at best, and while this is a popcorn action flick, I don't think that is an excuse to have big plot holes and bad writing. A tighter story would have really helped elevate the film, and made the suspension of disbelief a bit easier.

 

The Ugly

None of the women.

 

But overall an enjoyable action flick.

I really should be more specific:

 

Uncool women would hate. :)

 

Or women who don't like having eight thousand sex jokes made in the space of two and a half hours. ;)

 

Yes, I'm exaggerating. Still, there were far, faaaaaar too many of them in there.
