Escape to the Movies: Transformers Revenge

[V Gray]

big transformer fan, but I find myself, unable to acknowledge, these movies. They seem to be more for border audience, then the original fan base.

the only satisfaction I get from these films, is the fact that it has reanimated a serious that would be forgotten, and now it's got a larger fan base, someone in the future can make a real transformer movie. Although I was always satisfied with the animated movie

THANK YOU SOO MUCH
- for putting into words a good portion of my frustration over this movie. It is such a relief to hear some of it expressed!

The stupidity of this movie is so stunning I have not been able to say much about it at all. My brain would just overload and go in all directions at once, there is just too much suck to choose from. But you really nailed a fair portion of that suck to the wall, and for that I thank you.

May your future endeavours bear fruits of comparable lushness and salience!

And I thought Halo was your biggest hate in the universe.

Since when did Yahtzee review movies?

Some spoilers!
I agreed on every account, but I'd like to add the notion that for some reason every single decepticon in the ENTIRE MOVIE (yes even megatron, AND satan/the fallen) is a TOTAL PUSSY. I mean seriously they got beat up by tanks, as well as Optimus fighting off three people (Two of which are Megatron and Starscream) at the same time? And then at the end it has a super climactic end of a one minute fight after an hour and a half of build up. That is what made me lay down and cry. I was also sad to not hear about the gaping plot-hole of where during half the movie the decepticons sit around like fucking morons, even after they got everything they needed to go and blow up the sun.

For all you people out there who say we need to connect to people I have one thing to say.

Beast Wars.

THANK YOU! Someone else noticed that plot hole as well!

I put Bay in the same category as Uwe Boll because he is, in short, a baffoon.

I love this episode of Movie Bob.

The best scene in this movie are when Bumblebee beats the shit out of the twins. It's the only reason why I walked away from the cinema with a smile.

Can't find anywhere better to put this, So bad news part #234,789-B Micheal Bay has more control on the script and as such, according to an interview with LeBouf, is going to add MORE human drama. Apparently he believes the problem with the last transformers movie was the TRANSFORMERS.

All things aside though, i think the autobot designs are okay (decepticons are fucking bland and stupid though) and remove LeBouf and Fox and that raging pile of shit, focus on autobots and army guys (who IMO are well characterized for secondary characters) rub it in some agent orange to add some FUCKING COLOR and you might have something watchable.

My problem with these movies is that the term action is misleading. THE ARE BORING AND BLAND. Like crappy video games made into worse movies. grey black and brown are the leading colors, minus exsplosions. the action (jerky and crappy as it is) should be well paced through out the movie (you being about war and all) but instead is confined to secondary plot points and the end battle which was in this case resolved by a human being the chosen one of the robots... WTF?

MovieBob takes a look Michael Bay's latest masterpiece: Transformers Revenge.

Masterpiece? Please, Mr. Moviebob, dont make me cry any harder. I did see the first movie on my own will, thinking "Oh My God! My favorite toy/comic/animated motion picture/cartoon is being remade. I left within thirty minutes, went to the bathroom, and puked, not kidding, for two minutes straight. I vowed i would never see a micheal bay movie again. well, i went against my vow due to my friends nagging me to go see the movie with them so i could explain who was who. I didnt recognize anyone. I vote for Moviebob to be the next director for the transformers film! Who's with me? I also got your first reference from the original Transformers movie that was animated. Im fully with you Moviebob: I'm tired of seeing classics ruined and destroyed. Someone please arrest Micheal Bay for being a Douchebag.

I never understood the rage against human characters in transformers. I strangely like Shia I think he's a good actor. I couldn't make it though the review cause it seem hate for hates sake. My personal opinion was it was the most fun movie i've seen this summer. But i'm not a critic or cynic....

I pretty much agree with this, and since I'm married, have a step-son, have a degree, am doing a Law post-grad, and am not a frat boy douchbag (I'm not even American, and I hate the UK "chav" culture), sorry Movie Bob, but you were wrong.

Just because you dislike it doesn't mean everyone who does like it is a douchebag. That's primary school level logic, and that sort of ad honimem attack is something I'd think was below you.

Please learn that not all people who disagree with you are scum, and you might become more credible. I enjoy your reviews, but when you basically just attack people, you are no longer being a critic, but being a wanker.

Finally, someone has a reasonable argument against Michael Bay.

 

[Frankfurter4444]

I've used Movie Bob's quote "You can make a good movie out of anything" argument any time an idiot friend of mine tells me I have to lower my standards in order to enjoy whatever movie it is.

Thanks, Bob.

"Greatest Hack since hot coffee"... Yea ok, that cracked me up good. As for the movie... I sadly agree. I didn't hate the first Transformers. I have it on DVD but only watched it one time. This one was.. Everything you said. xD

Transformers 1 wasn't that bad. It was about alien robots, it had the civil war fight scenes, it tried to revolve around the Transformers. Yes, we never find out what happens to those three robots the Spark makes at the end. Yes, the humans ended up being center-camera in fights and such a bit too much. But if you look past those couple of flaws, it wasn't that bad.

Number 2, however, does not get, and will not be getting, recognition of even something to piss on. Number one ended on a rather final note, and number two looked, sounded, and even felt like sequel trash just by looking at the commercials. I pity the morons who actually went to see it.

 

[ecoho]

ok ill say this first i had no problem with the movie. i went in thinking giant robots blowing shit up and it deliverd even if only lacklusterly.(if thats not a word i dont care im useing it)Now would the movie be better if peter jackson or another good director did it hell fucking yes but were stuck with bay till someone learns not to hire his ass.BTW i liked a few of the transformers designs mostly optimis but i agree star screem was horible and WTF happen to megatron being a tank?!(by that i me a regular tank not the futuristic peace of shit in this movie) If i misspelled anything im sorry but theres no spell check deal with it.

 

[Gaming King]

Wow... THAT bad, huh?
