Transformers 2

The one thing in TF2's favour for me, is that I enjoyed at least some bits of it.

Terminator 4 was completely humourless and grinded on toward a nonsensical conclusion.
 
sometimes i agree with kermode, but sometimes he's just a pretentious ****.

i heard the Edinburgh podcast, the crowd were clearly the same type as well, only one was man enough to admit that they were going to watch it anyways. as for his rant against the t&a, nothing sadder than a man trying to be excessively feminist, its pathetically strained. these films are for different folks, clearly kermode is of a different crowd, he never played video games or read comic books as a youth i guess and doesn't understand somethings are just for fun.
 
i was a disappointed also! i love popcorn movies just like the next man - but i found this movie hard to digest - i do beleive it was the actual lengh! adored the first one very much.

it certainly felt it should have ended 40 mins before i actually did. it just went on and on and on and on!!!!

i certainly would like to watch it again - and even to go as far as buy it on dvd - but this will truely be when its on Sale price in roughtly 12 months.
 
most people seem to give 2 out of 5 for this movie, which is sooo disappointing.

I just wished the transformer robots werent so technical ie, i dont need to see every wire in their body, as prime is a truck why cant we see his doors on his chest like in old the original cartoon and that the humans were used a lot less.
 
Think I saw the same one as you - I really enjoyed it too. :D

Okay, it has many, many faults (already listed) but the film as a whole overcomes them. Time (for the most part) just flew by while I was watching it and I really surprised myself by enjoying it - in some ways it was everything that I hate in films or TV shows (poor dialogue, messy story, mad direction and fast cut editing, etc) but somehow it all worked. For me at least.
 
The funny thing is, those comments apply to virtually every Michael Bay film (apart from probably The Rock).

Some of his work somehow still entertains despite those problems (The first Transformers and Armageddon) - but most of it doesn't.
 
Ive got my tickets for tonight. I love midnight showings - you get the proper fans who actually want to watch the movie, rather than a load of kiRAB messing around. Also the atmosphere is usually good (at least it was for the last two starwars movies I saw at midnight). Cant wait :D
 
Cool.

Just, some people need to realise, this is a movie based on a toy line, directed by Michael Bay, staring actors of the caliber of Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox (uber hot but hardly going to trouble Judi Dench and the like in the talent category).

If you go expecting indepth, Shakesperian dialogue and Oscar worthy performances, then it's your own fault for being disappointed, not the film's.

The flm does what it is trying to do, show us robot beating the crap out of each other and show off Megan Fox's wonderful body, very well.
 
Tickets booked at the IMAX on Sunday...can't wait.

Like the above poster mentions with the midnight screenings, the IMAX is usually filled with fans of the film, or film in general, so everyone knows how to behave!
 
Went to see Startrek in IMAX and wasnt actually that impressed with the whole experience. It was very difficult to see what was going on in the fast action sequences. Perhaps we should have sat further back (we were on the front row).

I felt the same about the first TF movie. The camera shake was annoying at the cinema - I think its actually easier to watch on my HD plasma. Hope its been toned down a little - from the trailers it looks like it may have been.
 
ive only seen t4 but i enjoyed it 8/10

tf1 i enjoyed but it had some boring parts and the directing sucks 7/10

might wait to blu ray tf2
 
well I seen this last night and thought it was a decent film I never got bored and laughed loaRAB. I was however quite disturbed by the robot dry humping megan fox lol
 
Yeah we always book Premier seats (we go to the Odeon in Manchester) so we are guaranteed a seat at the back. Don't think I'd want to watch it from the front row.
 
I'm not snobbish about films at all and I love a good summer blockbuster as much as anyone else, but I can honestly say that the first Transformers film was the single most incoherent, shrill, soul-less piece of cinematic trash it has ever been my misfortune to see.
