Now that’s what I’m talking about!

A lot of stuff blowin’ up REAL good….I’m there.

Hey “hater” haters – these clips actually look GOOD to me, OK? 8)

I like how Bay has pulled back the camera on the fight scenes and I pray that the dumb-assed humor only rears its ugly head once or twice during this film. I’d love to see a balls to the wall kick-ass movie this time.

ZGMF-X88S says:

Doesn’t look any better to me than any of Bay’s previous movies. Looks like the same old, boring routine.

Probably a good thing I’m planning to wait for the DVD.

Anixe says:

Two blades was awesome. Two guns made it more awesomer (yeah, I don’t care if that’s a word :P ). Thanks for the heads up. Just only a few more weeks.

Peeps says:

Is it just me, or at the end of the 2nd teaser, does it look like Megatron impales Prime with his right hand / claw?

Phil G says:

Vic, glad to see you still have some taste! :D

These trailers look awesome. They did a good job showing a few Optimus scenes to get people interested – he really is the heart and soul of the Transformers franchise.

The Voice of Reason says:

@peeps
I thought I saw it the other way around with prime and starscream but I could have missed it.

The Voice of Reason says:

@vic
Don’t get your hopes up with the kiddy humor – it’s not going away and it won’t be just a couple scenes.

Matt Keith says:

Liked both of them…..I’m sure the humor will be more juvenile as the first film.

Becker says:

I don’t know why you people keep complaining abut the “kiddy humor”. Remember this is based on a kids cartoon series and toys. I can’t wait to see it in all its glory and “kiddy humor.” And see Optimus Prime die.

Ced1 says:

Hey, Did Optimus spitout a tooth? awsome

EnglishGavz says:

I don’t look at authors of these articles much, but is there generally a difference of opinion with Transformers 2 amongst the screen rant team as each article seems to change from the film being brilliant to sin against God.

Rob Keyes says:

@ EnglishGavz,

lol, partly. Vic was not a big fan of the first at all, but myself, Kofi, Ross and a few of the newest members of the team enjoyed it.

I don’t like a few elements of the movies and I think they can be easily improved but I am still very excited to see them.

Hadron Collider says:

Movie reviews are out and people are saying it still has has shaky cam, poorly shot action scenes, terrible comedy, sexual gags, cliche dialogue, plot holes continuity errors first 30 minutes are boring and a long list of other Transformers complaints not enough screen time or dialogue useless or wasted characters.

This reviewer (below).. says that the movie sucks but unlike Wolverine or T4 Transformers 2 is not supposed to be a good movie? It’s a bad good movie?

Hurray for more Transformers apologist

^London preview review of ROTF^

The Voice of Reason says:

Complain complain blah blah blah. If you don’t like transformers then don’t see it. Simple as that.

Lord Garth, Formerly of Izar says:

Looks cool. Far better than anything else released this year in the genre (except Trek of course)

Now get Bay to make Superman please

Wonderful. From that review (non-spoiler):

“Here’s the thing. Revenge Of The Fallen is a kids’ movie; the secret to enjoying it as an adult is to unlock the ten-year-old within. It is, in common parlance, completely and utterly retarded. The juxtaposition between hardcore military war movie and shitty Saturday morning cartoon feels downright bizarre at times.”

And that is from a glowing, positive review of them film.

Oh well… not that I’m terribly surprised, but I was hopeful.

greenknight333 says:

Lets hope Prime is not a pussy in this one..

greenknight333 says:

Lets hope Prime is not such a pu$$y in this one..I wanna see him unleashed..

Rob Keyes says:

@ greenknight333,

agreed

Ken J says:

Wait, a positive review of the movie called it “completely and utterly retarded”???? Um… lol? Yep, got high hopes for this one… :-D

jwalka says:

ken J wft u on bout seriously ?
personally i recon they cud hve left out the stupid one lined jokes, and the whole bumblebee buisness

Ken J says:

Damn, I did go on and on and on there didn’t I?? lol :-D

cantizzle says:

i don’t put a lot of stock into reviews on action movies. all i want to see is special effects of robots fighting each other. i don’t an award winning script or acting. just kick ass robot action. all the trailers seem to give me that.

Oh yeah… this one is going to like the first one, only moreso. I just read that Michael Bay gave Devastator a pair of balls.

I kid you not:

Quality entertainment at it’s finest (or should I say, most juvenile?).

Vic

jago says:

@vic

lol… hey man maybe it was a message to mcg about the whole “measuring contest” that they had with each other… then again maybe it is juvenile but when you wrote that i couldn’t help but to laugh. Great now i’m going to be looking for Decepticon testicles on the big screen…lol. Vic i just have to ask you one thing… do you have to go out and see this movie? i mean why don’t you let rob or kofi see it and do the review. That way you don’t have to argue on a 200+ thread on why you didn’t like the humor and all of this… you could simple say you didn’t see and you don’t care to see it… but maybe thats just me. Same goes for the people that are not going to see it but will comment on the review thread and that somehow they were “dragged” to the theater to go see it.

Matt Keith says:

Damn I though you meant that as a metaphor…..thats just rediculous.

The Voice of Reason says:

Are you guys serious? They are not testicles, they’re tentacles – lol.

John "Kahless" Taylor says:

Unfortunately, jago, I have a 10 and 11 year who will go Menedez-style on me if I don’t take them to see this.

Testicles? You’ve got to be kidding me? Oh, yeah, you have to be a 10 year old to appreciate that! Give me a break!

Jago says:

Lol well of course kahless if i were your kid i’d do the same to see transformers but when i say dragged i mean by friends and/or girlfriend… The ones you can actually say no to…lol.

@jago

And miss out on all the fun?

8)

Vic

Jago says:

@vic
Lol… Fun. Did you seriously have fun with the first one and the aftermath of it… The somewhat uncontrollable loop of comments, etc. I mean i already know i’m going to love it so on the review i’m going to help you out a lil to keep things civil by only writing one comment that would hopefully not start or add on to a argument that will almost 100% sure will happen on here.

@Jago

As far as I’m concerned my dislike for the first film is one of the defining aspects of this site and the bond many of the “regulars” here share. :-P

Vic

Jago says:

Your absolutly right but is that what you want to do though… Go through all of that again…?

@Jago

Who knows? Maybe I’ll LOVE this one. :)

Vic

Rob Keyes says:

hah, that would be a twist

;)

Jago says:

yeah i’m with rob on this one… That sounds like something out of a M. Night Shymalan movie…lol. It would be funny if he just said he did though just to see if some would agree with him then for him to give his real opinion to see everybody else’s excuse of agreeing…lol but like vic says… “who knows”.

cantizzle says:

can it be any worse than the blue schlong in the watchmen?

jago says:

yeah but that wasn’t aimed at kids though…lol.

cantizzle says:

some of the pictures and short bits of film i’ve seen makes devastator look like a big quadriped, like a pitbull. so pitbull testicles? still very silly, but i’ll try not to let it distract my movie experience.

Foopher says:

God! I can’t wait 7 more days!!! I want this movie NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

prime_eagle says:

optimus is freaking awesome!!!! and there is a big Autobot : omega supreme.
