Screw you Michael Bay. You just made a freaking Transformers movie that I can't take my 7-year old son to see because you loaded it up with characters calling each other bitches and pussies, a male dog humping another male dog...twice, a robot humping a girl's leg, and other stupid crap that has no business being in a movie based on a kid's toy. You were right on the edge of the line with the first Transformers but you just destroyed the line with the crap you put in this one.

edit: On a side note, we were in a theater loaded with college and high school kids. I didn't feel out of place because I'm in my thirties. I felt out of place because I didn't have an iPhone. It was like some sort of cult in there.

Kids dont own the world.
No one would watch it if its pg.

Transformers > your kid

Edit: Why the fuck should they pussy down movies so your brats can watch? People like you make me sick..... oohhh will someone please think of the children..... waahh wahhh wahhh

Your sheltering your kids, They are going to get owned in high school. If you home school them, they are going to get owned as adults.

And chances are they have heard people talk like that already! Do you let your kid watch discovery channel? Chances are they have heard David attenbourough talk about animals mating.

Go wrap your kids head up in duct tape.

Another Edit: Its people that pussy their kids that gave the world child hood obesity and nut allergies. When i was a kid nut allergies were unheard of. Only one kid had asthma.
You shelter your kids they are going to be weak. I blame the lame parents.

kids need to climb trees, scrape their knees, learn a musical instrument (fucking guitar hero does not count), learn to ride a motor bike, play a team sport.

But they still need to make films and activites for adults. Transformers 1 was for adults. Transformers 2 is for adults. If you child wants to see transformers you can buy the original series and the beastwars spin off on dvd.

That's all fine and well, but do you agree or disagree with Queasy?

1. It's based on a children's toy.
2. I gotta laugh at everyone claiming Queasy is "sheltering" his children (sideline parents). It sounds to me that he's taking an active role in his kids lives and actually being a parent and not just an overgrown friend.

I watched this on the 22nd. UK definitely has this early! I was traveling in south france on the 19th and that was the day it came on the theater here.

 

[KMFJD]

1st one sucked, i see the 2nd one sucks as well, cgi does not make a movie

 

[Vette73]

"noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch."

Is this not the standard MO for a Bay film?

I read the title as "'Transformers' lands with giant turd"

and the LOL review - I don't think Ebert liked this movie:

http://rogerebert.suntimes.com...0623/REVIEWS/906239997

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments.
...
The movie has been signed by Michael Bay. This is the same man who directed "The Rock" in 1996. Now he has made "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Faust made a better deal.
...
The two most inexplicable characters are Ron and Judy Witwicky (Kevin Dunn and Julie White), who are the parents of Shia LaBeouf, who Mephistopheles threw in to sweeten the deal. They take their son away to Princeton, apparently a party school, where Judy eats some pot and goes berserk. Later they swoop down out of the sky on Egypt, for reasons the movie doesn't make crystal clear, so they also can run in slo-mo from explosions.
...
The first American review, Todd Gilchrist of Cinematical, reported that Bay's "ambition runs a mile long and an inch deep," but, in a spirited defense, says "this must be the most movie I have ever experienced." He is bullish on the box office: it "feels destined to be the biggest movie of all time." It?s certainly the biggest something of all time.

Posted this in the other thread, but while I didn't like the 1st one very much, I loathed this one. Its just awful, and unneccessarily so. I'm all for a movie full of giant robots smashing each other, but you get so little of that and so much Shia LaBoeuf doing stupid things you couldn't care less about that its insane.

Save your money on this one. Go watch The Hangover and have a laugh, or go watch Up again or something. Support good moviemaking instead of this dreck.

Batman was originally a comic. The latest two batman movies were freakin awesome. Should that movie be gayified so kiddies can watch?

Your logic is made of fail.

You also realise that when his offspring grow up they can watch the movie then. I daresay they will be rebelling and smoking pot by then anyway, cause they were smothered as children

Im sure your phone is causing a distraction for everyone else. Put your phone away, watch the movie. Maybe wait in the lobby if its too much to take?

lol, actually it wasn't. There were tons of people checking their phones to see what time it was, and you heard a few sighs when people realized the movie wasn't even close to ending. I was far from being the only one tapping away.

FWIW, I had it on the lowest brightness setting, which is extremely dim.

SAME HERE. The atmosphere of the movie was totally ruined by this nonsense. It felt like they were adding in fillers to stretch the story a bit. Also, those two ghetto twins pissed me off royally.

Hey -- so do I. This movie was THAT horrible. There were MANY people distracting themselves with their phones. In my row I could see almost 5 or 6 people fiddling around; at least I had the courtesy to turn the brightness on my iphone all the way down, and I slouched as far down as I could so that no one behind me could be bothered.

I think a lot of people caught rides with others, and couldn't just up and leave...lol

No - I could care less about other people's kids. It was just out of place.
