Is Revenge of the Fallen a good blind buy?

I've only ever seen on Macross ep, a feature length episode that had a girl singing at the end to unite the two fleets. Can you give me a link to that one? Wouldn't mind reminiscing...

Robotech: Macross Saga, Robotech: Masters, and Robotech: New Generation are all on Hulu.
 
Transformers 2 is more of the same, so if you liked the first film you'll probabally enjoy the second one.

That would probabally be the movie redo of the original Macross called Macross: Do You Remember Love?. I also think Macross II: Lover's Again had a movie version as well which included a similiar plot.

This guy sums it up pretty well...

Perfect! :lol:

I enjoyed the first Transformers. Even bought it on HD-DVD before I got a player (that worked out well :shifty:), because I knew I wanted it.

I saw the second in the theatre and never need to see it again.

What is there to spoil about this movie? The sex scene between Megan Fox and Bumblebee? The appearance of Voltron and the SDF-1? The references that make the story exist in the same universe as both Indiana Jones and Beverly Hills Cop?
I think it's more like the cameo by the Ghostbusters. :)
 
I bought the single disk, considering I enjoyed the first one and honestly I kinda dig dumb movies LOL. I watched it last night for the first time, kinda blind buy since I didn't see it in the theaters, wasn't too bad. The twins were fuckin' annoying as was Wheelie, and not the "Wheelie say, me gonna hump your leg today!" way the G1 Wheelie was, this one was like the stogie chomping baby guy from Roger Rabbit... LOL. But eh, it was okay. Maybe not my all time fave, but it was fun. I love the Whitwicky parents... the mom was really foul LOL. I think she said, shit, crap, hell more than I've ever heard any mom say it. She's awesome.

Not Robau awesome...but cool.

Now Turturro, he really kinda surprised me, he started off so hokey and over the top, but he was so over the top it kinda worked.Although LEO, that fuckwad needed to be stepped on.Period. If you just hit mute on his scenes the movie feels better.
 
^ I did ... first week it was released here. By hiring it first, I can see what the extras are like. I also want to hear the AC for it. I'll probably wait until it is on sale after Christmas. Plus buying trek xi dvd is more important.
 
I despise this movie more & more the more I think about it. And considering the tastelessness that humanity has demonstrated by how much money this movie has made, I kinda hope the world does end in 2012 now.

If you thought the 1st movie needed to be louder, longer, & more pointless, this is the movie for you! There is something deeply wrong with Michael Bay.

John Turturro, an annoying distraction in the 1st film, is a blessed relief here because he's the only man with any acting talent visible for miles. Shia Labeouf does nothing but scream "Optimus!" at varying volumes for 2 hours. And I suspect Megan Fox is actually a computer construct ala S1m0ne.

This movie is so bad, it's worse than Transmorphers (which at least has some mild lesbianism and post-apocalyptic settings). It's worse than Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (which at least has some mild lesbianism and Neal McDonough, who is always awesome even when he clearly doesn't understand a word he's saying).
 
"Optimus!!"

"SAM!!"

"Wars rarely come when we chose, Sam. Fate calls us upon not of our own choice. I am Optimus Prime and I give this stilted, hokey monolouge in the hope that..."

*Insert yet a chase on a college campus, now required for Shia Labeouf movies*

Tyrese (Not Ripcord): "Dat baby boy really know what he's talkin' about?"

White Army Hero (NOT DUKE): "He did in the first movie...though we seem to have forgotten that."

*Insert gratutious action scenes that have little bearing on the main plot and cost $70 million*

"Optimus!!"

Offensive robot twin 1: "Dat boy be actin all stupid, yo!"

Offensive robot twin 2: "Yeah, G, maybe we should kick his ass, fo'shnizzle!"

20 minutes of Megan Fox's character being drug around by her hand like a damsel in an old movie, even though she's previously been characterized as able to take care of herself.

"SAM!!!"

*Insert even more gratutious action scenes that are part of the plot and cost $200 million*

"Hey, we are in Egypt!"

"Now we are in Jordan!"

"Now we are back in Egypt again!"

*Explosions, robots, explosions, dust, robots, explosions, Megan Fox being led around by the hand, explosions*
 
Don't forget the first movie's staple action scene, reimagined frame by frame to be even MORE awesome: Sam running around with plot device in tow while being chased around by robots, and army guys providing covering fire.
 
LOL yeah that's true haha. It did seem to mirror that original ending. Although hey it still was impressive. And Alice was pretty interesting too... never saw that coming. So it does have a few surprises. The twins were annoying, I wished that they would have died at the end too.

Although maybe since Arcee is "Dead" (which isn't a spoiler since Bay said it repeatedly)maybe we'll get a proper G1 esque Arcee in TF3 - even if its not the same name, but similar character

Like I said, I had a blast watching this movie! :lol:
 
I wonder why an actor as famous as Michael York, of all people, would go for a movie like this (he was one of the voices of the Primes) where he's not even onscreen...
 
Worst piece of dreck I've seen in a loooong time. Far too many characters there SOLELY for comic relief, a nonsensical plot and far too long a running time. If I ever see this movie again, it will be too soon.

"I suggest you don't worry about those things and just enjoy yourself. [turns to camera] That goes for you all too."
