Re: Transformers 2 (2009)

Cant wait to see this, its out next fri (19th) here.

Supposed to be so much bigger than the first.

Apart from star trek, there hasn't been any decent summer blockbuster yet. Wolverine and terminator were shit. Hope tf2 doesn't disappoint.

Even though star trek was a good film, I have a feeling that transformers 2 will piss all over it....I mean c'mon, it's transformers!!!

Wolverine was a fucking disgrace.

Seeing the advance screening tomorrow. I expect vehicles to transform into robots and fighting each other like I did the first. Nothing more.

Re: Transformers 2 (2009)

That's the spirit. Too many people complaining the plot was cheesy and picking holes in the story. It's a film about giant robots that can change into vehicles and household objects ffs.

I didn't think anyone was actually deriding the movie in this thread.

Re: Transformers 2 (2009)

Ah sorry, didn't mean in this thread, meant in general. The first film was slated in the press over here.

Explosions: check
Boobage: check
Way too fucking long: check

It's a decent sequel I guess - lots of eye candy, but Jesus Christ this goes on for nearly two and a half hours. Much like the first, it's really difficult to get an idea of what the hell is going on when a fight happens because it's overly edited (other than the forest fight, which is actually really, really good), and the characters are more props than actual characters. The movie nearly stops dead about midway through and has a tough time restarting. It really reminded me of Bad Boys 2 with how overly long and dramatic it was, and Michael Bay manages to rip himself off a couple of times with a few shots in the film.

Fine summer fair, not sure if I need to see this again on IMAX or not. But it delivered on what it was promising.

Oh yeah, Rainn Wilson from The Office has a cameo, and John Turturro has gone from films like Barton Fink to this.

Re: Transformers 2 (2009)

It's a great film. especially on the Imax. I could have watched it again straight after. If you get chance to see it on The Imax do so. You won't be disappointed.
