Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Discussion
Just got back from seeing it - We thought it was great!
Dont expect a strong story line, just lots of brilliant special effects, brilliant cinematography in places and even a "Baywatch" type slow-mo of Megan Fox for you lot who like her
Well worth going to see as it just wont be the same on DVD or BluRay

I saw this last night.
It was OK but not nearly as good as the first one.
The human actors in this one are very flat and whereas the first was a passable teen comedy in the early stages this is rather painful. It only really gets going when the focus switches to the giant robots.
On the upside it has some of the most spectacular action scenes i've ever seen. You certainly see the budget up there on the screen.

Saw it yesterday.
I must be getting old but I just wish that Bay would put a few quiet moments in his films, even just a minute here and there PLEEEASSE. 2.5 hours of nonstop st-blowing-up is just toooooo much, especially when they introduce a new character with no backstory every 30 seconds.
I felt physically knackered by about the 2 hours mark, just willing it to end quietly. No chance of that though, loads more st-to-blow-up-in-slow-mo.....
It makes the first film look positively calm and well thought out....
And just WTF was with the stupid english accent for Jetfire....I cannot imagine how they could have made that sound more awkward and out-of-place - it was like watching Pirates of the Caribbean all over again...he even looked like Davy Jones with those tentacles like things..
All in all - 3 out of 10.

Well I 'witnessed' this on Saturday.
All I can say is that this movie is the kind where quality is inversely proportional to how many people proclaim it is 'awesome'.
What an insipid word. What a hateful 'film'.
You're a hateful "film"! And so is your mother!All I can say is that this movie is the kind where quality is inversely proportional to how many people proclaim it is 'awesome'.
What an insipid word. What a hateful 'film'.
Did anyone else think that some of the bits of the transformers at the end looked like they were models instead of CGI? So strange looking, the CGI is getting very very good. Cant wait for the next one.
Otherwise its just an entertaining film, wish I was 12 then it would havebeen the greatest thing ever.

But I am not 12. So, I think you will find, it's your mother's face.
Saw it last night in IMAX and it felt a bit "tacked" together. The forest scene
was in super hi res and looked incredible on the IMAX. Everything else
looked like a regular film resolution to me and the wife. It was also a
sell out showing and having spoke to the attendent whilst queing outside
the screen he said the IMAX showings have consistently been sold out since releAse.
Great cgi and effects but a bitty thin on everything else.
