One of the most beautiful films I've seen in a long time, the story was pretty unpredictable at parts as it had already did some rather dark things for a fairy tale movie. Definitely a must watch to anyone. My only gripe is that the subtitles were sometimes too quick or distracted you from the visuals, I wish they were dealt with in the same way Heroes dealt with them. Other films watched recently are the anime version of Metropolis which is also stunning, another must watch imo. Also there's Red Hawk in Manga Entertainment's The Collection. It's like the illegitimate baby of Batman and Dragonball Z born in feudal Japan, I'd say this is a must if you love cheesy dubbing, it's fantastic. Help support the British Games Industry

I saw it on the 30th (and in 3D!). It's definitely the saddest, funniest, and just all around best movie I've seen all year. The 3D was use tastefully and not all WAWOOZA LOOK AT THESE FLYING OBJECTS COMIN' AT YA like I've somehow come to expect all 3D to be. For the most part it did the opposite and simply added a sense of depth to the scenes. It was pretty neat to say the least, though the movie wouldn't have been any worse without it.

Not sure when i'll see it though. My buddies and myself saw The Hangover this past weekend. Movie is madness...to the extreme. My gosh. It's not for everyone...but there is some really really racy stuff that goes on in that film. A near NC-17 i'd say. :P "If challenge had a taste...you'd be quite delicious."

It was actually quite a bit better than I was expecting, after all of the negative reaction I'd seen from critics and with the baggage of McG attached to it. It was never going to be T2 (I wonder how many critics use that as the yardstick), but as action movies go, it was solid, it was entertaining, and whilst plenty of it was predictable, I was engaged and wanting to know where it was going. Definitely above average. And it also helpfully confirmed Anton Yelchin as an actor with enough range to be worth keeping an eye on, after I'd seen him in Star Trek a couple of weeks ago. I still can't believe that The Sarah Connor Chronicles is getting cancelled now of all times - what part of "free publicity" do Fox TV seem to have a problem with? No longer a forum staff member.

I'm very mixed on how I feel, but to put it simply 1/3 of this movie is pure awesome, that third features Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, Arcee, and even the main badguy. In short, the majority of Transformers are really cool, with great action scenes, and Frank Welker voices Soundwave! As for the other two thirds? Pure hatred. Firstly, I've never sat through a movie and thought this should be cut, this shouldn't be so long, this is taking too much time, this was completely unnecessary, this isn't what I paid to see, this is insulting, this is infuriating so much in a single movie, but I guess when you're a two and a half hours long and only about 45 minutes or less is focussed on the robots themselves, you've got yourself a big problem. That's right, the wacky like of Sam Witwicky returns to balls up what we loved. Him, his family, and his friends and allies are constantly taking up screen time, every dialogue scene goes on far too long, and yet they're talking so fast you miss most of what they say. His parents return with the idiotic and unfunny slapstick crude humour, including an obsession with cutting to two dogs screwing, that doesn't belong in an action movie, or a war movie, let alone an action war movie starring giant alien transforming robots! Also, the characters come off as morons bumbling their way through the plot, needless scenes are thrown in to show how much they're struggling while at the same time more and more jokes are thrown out. The worst of this isn't the humans though, it's two Autobots called Mudflap and Skidz. They're two characters inspired by negative black youth steriotypes, with big panels representing ears, big eyes, two crooked loose front teeth, one of which is gold, they dun talk proper, they're constantly bickering, constantly insulting others, constantly chatting in the background, always making out how great they are, and above all, they can't read. ... Now, I know steriotypes can exist in reality, and there's nothing wrong with a black person having these traits in reality, he would have a right to exist however he likes afterall, but these aren't people, THEY'RE ALIEN ROBOTS! Effectively making them caricatures, constructs of Michael Bay's, or at least someone on the production team, mind. They had to want to make these characters negative steriotypes, just so they could have them in the movie. Maybe I'm being overly sensetive, I myself am a white Englishman, and seeing as I haven't witnessed anyone else calling foul on this it makes me wonder. But I can't help feeling insulted by the depths this movie goes to to get some cheap laughs. There's also Wheelie, who for some reason is a decepticon, and a swearing, fire farrting, Joe Pechi impersonator too, who humps legs... Like I said though, the fight scenes are excellent, the special effects are excellent, and the majority of the Transformers are awesome, just don't expect to be happy inbetween those moments.

I did hear more than half of the movie is a letdown, as well though. Actually, I went and picked up my midnight showing ticket yesterday. Only 30 hours and 34 minutes to go. :P As for the stereotypes...I mean...being a black American...and living in Alabama...I can tell you...what you described wouldn't just apply to black people. But I hear what you're saying...but until I actually see the movie i'll refrain from commenting on its necessity[? lol] in the film. And what you said about the people having way too much talk time and stuff...you're just a Transformers geek, who wished that it was just straight up giant robots...don't lie. :P Nah...I mean with such an insanely large budget as this movie got...there would have to be some wasted scenes and whatnot...using every last cent of that money, right? lol I should return by the end of the week with my review. So pumped! "If challenge had a taste...you'd be quite delicious."

If you can watch it for free, go ahead. It's not bad, but it's basically a remake of an old tv mini-series (BBC, I think). But I think the tv show actually did it better. The good Germans all had English accents, except for Cruise who had an American accent, while all the bad Germans had German accents. This kind of killed a few of the 'tension' moments where you were supposed to worry about which side people were going to fall on and you could tell by their accent. The last movie I saw in the theatre was the new Star Trek movie, which I enjoyed. Since it's still at the theatre, I'll skip the spoilers. I will just say that all of the inconsistancies with the Star Trek timeline are explained in the movie, despite the complaining you may have heard.

Though the twins didn't really bother me much, mainly the cursing. I can't believe how loose we've got these days where there was that much cursing in a pg-13 movie. Don't get me wrong, I can stand cursing and love it when placed right in comedies and r rated action movies, etc, but in a Transformers movie? I know the kids that watched Transformers are all grown up now, but aren't they still trying to appeal to the younger kids as well. My cousins who are both under 10 love Transformers and probably want to see it badly. With constant shts, btch and p*ssy being thrown out for laughs, it makes me wonder. But overall, I loved this movie. Even the cheesy human parts didn't really mess it up for me (especially his mom....okay, it was funny, but then got annoying with the whole "greens" scene.) Anyways, Optimus is the man and showed why in my favorite scene which was when he was protecting Sam. Awesome fights and sweet cg. Happy Transformers fan right here. The Games I Want List

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I haven't watched as many movies as I should have lately, mostly due to getting hooked on Star Trek and Arrested Development (hopefully the movie gets made soon... then we'll have a stew cookin'). Anyways, I have seen a couple of movies lately: Princess Mononoke- Watched this one during my family's trip to Ohio. Probably my favorite Miyazaki movie . Beautiful animation + an awesome story + fighting =D Transformers 2- Decided at the last minute to go see it with my uncle at midnight. Definitely should have lost about an hour's worth of the humans interacting with eachother.... My favorite part was about 30 min from the end... One of the US generals appeared on the screen, but he was upside down, and talking gibberish. I was like OMG HE'S A DECEPTACON IN DISGUISE!!!... then the scene changed and 2 more characters were upside down and also talking gibberish... Turns out the film operator connected the reels wrong, and we ended up spending a good 30-40 minutes between fixing the problem and the sequential problems as well. (so yeah, with out spoilers, my favorite part was Shia screaming like a little girl) Finally, I saw UP just tonight. Obviously, Pixar means awesome films. Very touching, very sweet story. Loved the Star Wars reference during the dogfight.

PG-13 movie...but a ton of foul language...pretty crazy. The twins didn't bother me all that much...I could see what you were talking about though, Robo. I was pretty pleased with the human parts...I mean...there were alot of just human-with-no-robots-to-be-seen scenes, but I didn't mind them. This movie was a good bit like The Dark Knight[allow me to finish before you all rip my head off lol] in the way that I didn't realize 2 and a half hours had passed while I was sitting in my seat. Surely the movie isn't perfect, and I wish StarScream had gotten more lines...and played a bigger role[they said leading up to the movie he would speak more...and they're right he did...by lke 5 words ]. Galvatron/Megatron effing owned hardcore. His transformation rocks so hardcore. Very pleased Transformers fan here as well. The movie didn't quite have that wow impression on me that the first one did when I first saw it...but as far as sequels go...it did its purpose. Provided a very enjoyable movie that stayed true to its predecessor...for the most part atleast[foul language seemed to be of a much higher volume in this one].

Posts: 3281 (06/28/2009 5:09 AM) JJ's secret squeezer Homofur Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I got around to watching Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen sometime yesterday during the early afternoon. Overall, I thought it was a pretty damn awesome movie when the Autobots and Decepticons were smashing the crap outta each other. But most of the scenes involving human dialogue were kinda cheesy. Also, the gag involving Mojo the chihuahua humping another dog not once but TWICE was just cringe-worthy, IMO. It's not that I was offended by it, hell no, I usually LOVE stuff like that - but only when it's delivered awesomely. Such a gag just seemed out of place in a Transformers movie and it was unfunny to begin with, as far as I'm concerned. Starscream deserved more dialogue and more of an active role instead of just being Megatron/Galvatron's bch. However, Devastator vacuuming up a part of Egypt was MAD CRAZY EPIC! Also, Optimus Prime's upgrade towards the end of the movie was freakin' HARDCORE*, yo! Like HS, I'm a very pleased Transformers fan after watching this movie. Sure, it wasn't perfect. But it was enjoyable enough for me to feel that its duration of 149 minutes wasn't as insanely long as I thought it'd be. Actually, that time passed relatively quickly for me since it was basically a kickass movie. It had some flaws and it's not the most deepest movie you'll ever see, but it's not meant* to be like that anyway and that's actually part of this movie's charm. Megan Fox also provided some EXCELLENT eye candy just like she did in the first Transformers movie. Transformers 2 is ultimately a loud and action-packed movie that, despite its flaws, provides plenty of fun for fellow Transformers fans such as myself! Last Edited By: Rishi 06/28/2009 5:27 AM.

But uhh...my roommate bought this Bruce Lee 5 movie set a few weeks ago and we've been watching those movies throughout the week. So far we've watched The Big Boss, Fist of Fury and The Way of the Dragon. The Big Boss is effing hilarous. A human shaped hole in a barn wall...can not be topped. xD! And superjumping[jumping 20 something feet in the air] is just too funny to not love. Fist of Fury wasn't as funny. =/ Can't even remember much of it now to be honest. lol Way of the Dragon...was epic. Funny in some parts, but all in all butt kicking to the extreme. Now've all we've got left is Game of Death and Game of Death II. "If challenge had a taste...you'd be quite delicious."

Except for Toxic Love, Tim Curry makes evil good. Otherwise it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be...a bit overt with the message but nowhere near as annoying as say...Captain Planet, or the other stuff that was prevalent during that environmental craze going on in the first half of the 90's. Before that I had watched Secret of Nimh and boy does that film still look beautiful. I'll just ignore the awful deus ex machina at the end though.

I didn't like it as much as I liked the original, but the more I think about it (and I have been most of the day), the more likely it is I'll end up with it on DVD at some point. I could have cheered Bumblebee for knocking the twins' heads together and chucking them outside - if only it could have been done about 2 hours earlier! The movie did drag a bit for me. Any scene with the 'bots was great, but some of the human stuff was boring and there was too much Team America military instead of robots tearing each other apart. And on that note, may I just say ick? Amazing what you can get away with when it's robot v robot... But many opportunities for me to drool over pretty cars - concept Camaro, Corvette (concept 'Vette?), Audi. Plus Ironside's GMC pick-up was cool. And hurrah for Soundwave's original voice! I did spend half the movie trying to figure out where I'd heard Starscream before - should have known, given it was Charlie Adler doing his Snivley voice. Peter Cullen obviously owned as Optimus, even if I can't hear him without thinking of KARR in Knight Rider... DW I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the substantial and inescapable penalty for early withdrawal. I am Darkwing Duck!
