Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen; Seriously what the smeg is this shit?

Hello, Dexter Morgan!
Seriously what the smeg is this shit? What an absolute gay bloody movie title. We've suffered enough with lame titles like Revenge of the sith. I think Michael Bay should quit making movies right now.

Fortunately fans have gone and found justification for such a lame movie title:

Fans have been wondering what exactly the title Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen means, and now a new report online has uncovered that answer.

According to CHUD, who claims to have verified the following scoop via reliable inside sources, "the Fallen" refers to one of the original 13 Transformers created by Primus.

The site points out this entry on the Fallen, which reminds us that "the robot who would become the Fallen betrayed his creator by siding with Primus's dark twin, the malevolent planet-eater, Unicron. In the final battle between Primus and Unicron, the Fallen fell victim to the same fate as his master, sucked through a black hole into another dimension. However, while Unicron emerged into another universe, the Fallen was not so fortunate, finding himself trapped in the 'underspace' between dimensions."


Still it's quite lame. And if Unicron is in the second movie that will just suck balls. Too much too fast Mr Bay! Let's just settle for some actual character development and maybe some combinables first before you go and bring in this big smeging transformer that eats moons for breakfast. Sersiously! Besides they will NEVER get a voice actor as cool as Orson Welles for Unicron so that's already instant fail!

Well... I'm pretty sure they don't make love and have babies. I do only remember this one episode of Transformers where they all met up with these female autobots and all of them had one each. It was kind of nice.

I'll be happy so long as the film has giant robots fighting eachother. Seriously how much character development does a giant robot with a large gun that can transform need when it has giant enemy robots with equally large guns and transforming abilities to fight!

That was the problem with the last movie; for the fans there wasn't enough robot on robot action; for the non-fans there wasn't enough of the character/plot etc development that a good movie usually makes.

Oh when I say more character development what I'm truly saying is less human bullshit about getting sexy time with some random hottie and more giant robots kicking the smeg our of each other and throwing awesome one liners at each other!

Few movies can truly pull off character development through battles, especially while keeping the pacing generally required of action scenes. It's definitely beyond Michael Bay's capabilities.

It should be on a different planet where there are no humans... except Megan Fox, but because she is the only human she doesn't see any point in wearing clothing. They should get rid of Michael Bay and put me in charge.

That fanart of the female autobots is disturbing. Anyways, I dunno... title doesn't bother me. Having the Fallen in the movie would, though. Character is too God Damned obscure. He was in a handful of comics from a cancelled series...

Why that sounds like the beginnings of a pr0n flick man... A pr0n flick on Transformers... something that the industry has yet to do... unless Japan has already beaten them to it.

Anyways, yeah the movie would appeal to fans if it had more robot battles, but remember, movies are there to make money, so they needed the side story of some nerdy boy trying to touch some hot chick... because the nerdy fanboys can relate to that one :whistle: and so can the hot girls...

SO applying some mild equations here... the fanboys go to the movie to see some robot bashing, take their GF/Spouses who seemed bored by the concept of bashing robots, until you tell them there's some love story to it, the kids (if there are any) come to see some robot bashing too... So by the Nspa-Oriium Theorem of Thisisareally-badjoken, for the movie studios, this will equal profits. As for Michael Bay, he gets some of the cash so he can rig up explosives to pretty much anything he can get his hands on.

Bottom line is... movies have to be made to appeal to everyone so that coffers can be filled with bullion.

A movie that attempts to please everyone is rarely a success though.

Actually I think some of the problems with the last movie is that the producers, Michael Bay, whoever, were worried that general audiences wouldn't be able to identify with a cast of machines. So they packed the cast full of humans and anthropomorphised the Transformers to an almost ridiculous degree. It was surprising that Optimis Prime wasn't shedding buckets of tears with his overdone (emo) facial design. Ultimately that resulted in the movie having a cast but no real characters, which satisfied neither the fans nor anyone else.

The most I want out of a plot is Starscream scheming against Megatron, fails, then Megatron blasts his arse. The End.

Looks good but most blockbuster movie trailers do. Still I wish the transformer's didn't look so bloody complex. I'm sure I'll go see this opening week, most likely watch the first one on HD-DVD before I do so.

Looks total fail to me, but that's because I pretty much dislike that style of blockbuster. I like a bit of story and Bay showed that he's incapable of entertaining on that front with the first movie.

Umm... yeah. Robots blowing stuff up, eh?

I think I'll wait for the DVD.

I'm pretty sure the second one is going to have a better story this time. It was a fault of the first movie they've aimed to fix. Going by what I've read in Empire.
