Rate Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

So how did you find the latest Michael Bay?

I give it a 7. Good, entertaining movie.

If you liked the first, you will pretty likely like this one as well.

Bye

Interesting that it is being rated so high here compared to other places I've been which have universally panned it (with varying degrees of humour!).

Myself, I don't plan seeing it. I saw the first one and it confirmed my aversion to the popular contemporary techniques which Michael Bay relies upon.

Cheers

That's pretty typical of ENWorld, actually.

Believe me, ENWorld is one of the last places on the internet that I go for movie advice, as it's wrong almost all of the time AFAIC. And that's saying a lot.

I find it is right when it agrees with me and wrong when it doesn't

Cheers!

The persons rushing out to see it (and rating it) probably are fans. I'll see it, but am in no great rush.

It wasn't bad. It was pretty fun, with a very large number of action scenes and probably two or three times as many cool transforming robots as the last one. It could be a bit incoherent at times and a few scenes might require the use of brain bleach though...

I'm pretty sure that Soundwave never had it that good before, though. He probably steals the show as the coolest re-imagining of an Autobot or Decepticon.

I can't wait to see it next week (when I can have some time for it). Love the first movie.

But then again, I do have a Stealth Bumblebee standing next to my monitor.

I'm looking forward to seeing it on IMAX. My wife and I loved the first one.....sure, some of the stuff like a peeing robot, and the scene where they were hiding in the garden were pretty dumb....but the awesomeness of some of the fight scenes, and even some of the banter between characters at various parts was enough to make me overlook the dumb humour placed in there for 12-year olds.

I really hope the sequel has enough decent parts to it to allow the dumb humour to be overlooked again.

Of course, it seems like several directors of sci-fi movies lately seem to need to rely on dumb gags to get a laugh.......poo jokes in Star Wars, farting banthas (or whatever those creatures were on Tatooine in the first movie), peeing robots in Transformers etc. Does that really appeal that much to young people? I contrast that with some of the humour in a more hardcore sci-fi movie, like Serenity, and I find the latter implementation much more natural.
