Why? The mindless blowing up and smashing isn’t as good as the first one?
Here’s my review, it’s also on the thread for the movie:
Where do I begin? Director Michael Bay (Bad Boys II) has outdone himself by having 1) A plot which makes no sense, 2) Way too many shots of Megan Fox running in slow-motion, and 3) Crude jokes all sprinkled annoyingly throughout a movie that seems more like a very long and altogether boring toy advertisement than anything else. The only thing enjoyable about my experience watching it was that I got in for free.
Each painful minute of this film contains a nonsensical plot about intense negotiations (you’re welcome, Star Wars fans) between the good robots, the Autobots, and their new allies, the humans. Then it takes off from there by recycling shot after shot of some impending threat coming from space. The bad robots, the Decepticons are out to awaken ‘the fallen,’ a Decipticon of apparently unmatched power and ability. But they’re also out to get a fragile mystical object called ‘the matrix,’ which only makes the plot more idiotic and confusing. I can’t understand why Sam, LaBeouf’s character is necessary at all really, because it’s obvious that Michael Bay just wants to get to the ridiculous action. The flirtatious scenes between Sam and his girlfriend (sleepwalked by Megan Fox) feel like a bad soap opera at best and really just eliminate all the fun. Not to mention that there are too many explosions and the script’s dialogue has to be some of the worst anyone’s ever heard.
SPOILER ALERT (as if you’ll really want to see this when I’m done): [spoil]You get a joke with little dogs having sex, you get a marijuana joke, you get a joke with Megan Fox in an uncompromising position on top of a guy (who, of course, is not Shia LaBeouf), and you even get a nice mechanical testicles joke to wrap it all up. And not to mention that these jokes feel forced, out of place, and just downright desparate and stupid.[/spoil] Mind you, this movie’s not just a bad one and a half hours of your life, it’s TWO AND A HALF HOURS of your life gone down the drain! Also, this film could be seen to have offended Middle Easterners, Women, Midgets, and African-Americans (yes, the twins come off as racist).
This film is Michael Bay’s sad attempt at a comedy. This is bottom-of-the-barrel crap. I feel like a need a transformed brain to replace the one that can admit to having sat through this entire film! There is no saving grace here, except for the fact that Shia LaBeouf is really trying in this, but even something as miraculous as that cannot save this film from crashing like a meteorite on an aircraft carrier. Pretty colors and crappy jokes do not a good movie make.
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”: 1/10.
Well that’s a bummer, although I wasn’t really expecting anything for the plot. Was going to watch it simply for the eye-candy and mind-numbing surround sound.
But if I went to see this movie, I’d be supporting the Moviepocalypse wouldn’t I? 
No. H*** no. I can’t believe now I’m gonna protect the first movie because it was so good compared to the second one’s usage of CGI action and comedy. The problem isn’t as much about the amount of explosions, cool special effects and laughs; it’s how Bay organized it. He organized it in such a bad way in TF2 that it was totally out of order and thus, making it unfunny and, very surprisingly, boring.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait… You’re saying the jokes in this are actually funny???
Dosen’t look there will be much “totally awesome” films coming this summer if even the action of TF2 isn’t good.
I think I might end up paying to see only one film in theatres this summer. Unless I get dragged to a movie I want to leave five minutes into by my father. He adores things like TF2.
lol @ TS2’s parody of Shia.
Yeah, I cackle a few times. No, more like giggle. No, I just smiled, that’s all. The jokes in this one are also mediocre. A lot of things in this movie could be described as that, that’s why I could describe the whole movie as ‘mediocre’ despite the added special effects which, again, I must emphasize strongly, didn’t last very long and are very much confusing and out of place. I’m just glad that my mind didn’t blow up due to the sheer chaos.

I don’t want him to, I want him to be funny and cheerful. Like how he is in the cartoon.
That’s one of the few things we could really agree on - strongly, even.

I agree too. I loved his personality on that show. He wasn’t sad all the time like Batman or annoyingly emo like Spider-Man or Harry Potter (at times).
Just read what were the nominations and who won the Best Original Soundtrack category for the last few years… Deserved nominations avoided, odd wins, non deserved nominations…
I’m only talking about one category here… 
There actually was at lot of times where he was sad in Season 2.
Yes, but the tone of the show was still lighter than most. Anyway, this discussion is more suited for the TV thread.
Worst Movies of 2009:
- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
- Land of the Lost
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Just thought I’d say that because they all seem to have the same style.
Anyway, just saw Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Great movie. It was good on every level, and gave me some good ways to skip school. 
Just kidding. 9/10!
We all love previews. They made us laugh, they made us scream with excitement, but most important, they inform us of an upcoming box office hit or a cinematic s***. Here’s IFC’s 50 greatest trailers of all time:

Update: I’m going to post another review on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that consists of my views after I watched the movie. My first review was created before I watched it. Till then, here’s a little thought on the film:
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen - Amazing visuals that’s bankrupt of emotional impact. More muscles than the first, less heart. M
~ Flare
It’s really worse than that, but yes.
Wait, let me update my Worst Films of 2009 list. I forgot one…
1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
2. Dragonball Evolution
3. Land of the Lost
4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I would say Tranformers is better than Dragonball Evolution without watching any of them.
I saw Year One. It reminded me of 10,000 BC; 'nuff said… 
I only enjoyed Michael Cera in his costumes, being his adorably, lanky, geeky self.
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is still the best in my book (or Juno? Hm…)
