  • Whats so irritating about the special effects? It looks fine to me.

  • I totally agree with Stan's opening statement. It was two AND a HALF hours...the least we forget (wish I could) lol ;)

  • lol. i really like hearing you guys slam this. its hilarious.

  • i agree but for a different reason: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to violent

  • "I guess he's supposed to be cute" idk, but that line made my day!

  • @theweredcreaturesden ok first of all I know it does not sell for a crappy plot but special effects does sell for ppl who love badass effects, witch is y this movie and the third part has made big numbers in the box office and breaking records. I do think the movies are horrible but the effects are the only A game here and that's what sells these days sry but its the truth. confused Matthew is rite about everything else but is blow it out of proportion for the special effects period.

  • Agreed agreed agreed

  • the special effects were AMAZING!!!!! wtf!!!?

  • @osjehdhfjfnf Doesnt save the movie.

  • @osjehdhfjfnf don't lie to yourself

  • @osjehdhfjfnf Doesn't sell for a crappy plot, it's another Avatar.

  • ...

    

  • all 3 movies were entertaining and you are talking your out your ass when you say the special effects were bad they were amazing also the story is way more understandable with a 2nd viewing and he didn't go to robot heaven he was just having a vision what happened to watching a movie for what it is yes the plot is crazy but that's the fun of it as an action movie its awesome

  • This is to anyone using the "turn your brain off!" argument for this movie, or any of the other pieces of bombastic Michael Bay crap:

    That argument is one of the lamest arguments you can use, because it is simply making an excuse for boring, plotless, wonders such as this movie. I didn't have to turn my brain off while watching the first two Terminator movies. I didn't have to turn my brain off while watching District 9, and I damn sure didn't have to turn it off while watching The Dark Knight.

  • Matthew will you review Transformers 3?

  • Were people really expecting in depth character development or a thought provoking plot? The trailers showed giant robots beating the crap out of each other and that's what I got. This movie had MAJOR flaws yes, but every movie doesn't have to be a future thesis paper.

  • @TheDalinkwent

    Well, no. No one was expecting "in depth character development or a thought provoking plot." However, it would have been nice to have gotten a cohesive plot and characters that were somewhat interesting or likable, as a side dish to the robot-on-robot action.

  • @thejoker100ify, I agree! It just seems people look to much into things and wonder why they're pissed when the credits role. The main draw of Transformers is robots kicking each other ass, no different than the cartoon. While yes there wasn't interesting characters or a engaging plot, I honestly didn't expect it to be and was kind of shocked that it was some what decent. Some films are meant to be mindless entertainment and TF's in one of those movies.

  • @TheDalinkwent i disagree, i believe transformers has more potential then the mediocry audiences expect, i expect simple storytelling, with creativity and inventiveness, and robots done right and without overusage of racial stereotyping and outdated teenage humor. i think these movies culdve been much more, much better

  • @superhuman295, True, but considering the Director and trailers, I expected the Robot action to take center stage and be the draw of the film. I guess because I really didn't expect much, I liked it more than I usually would, but still saw the massive flaws the movie was guilty of. The marketting to kids also doomed it to be medicore at best.

  • Not even up to Pixar standards?

    So Pixar is used as an example of bad animation? How dare you.

  • @Timefliesbye They didn't say that. Transformers being not up to Pixar standards just means that the special effects don't look as good as an animated film, which hasn't got to be realistic.

  • @TheRobot13 When you say something is "not even up to" the "not even" part implies that you view what you'rer comparing it to as something derogatory.

    Like when I say that Bay's direction skills are not even up to Shayamalan, because that guy actually managed to make some movies I like. I'm not saying something good about Shayamalan am I?

    I am comparing Bay with someone I think of when I think of Bad, but still not Michael Bay Bad.

  • @Timefliesbye i think bays best films were transformers 1 and bad boys 2, both consistent in their own ways

  • @superhuman295 True. Transformers 1 was horrible, but still something what you could call a movie. At least you didn't have 20 comic relief characters bouncing around constantly annoying you.

    As for Bad Boys 2. Will Smith can make anything watch able. It's why he gets hired. 

  • @Timefliesbye LOL I can see why people do think T1 is horrible, but i felt everything that was wrong with transformers works in Bad Boys 2

  • The special effects of Spider-Man 3 where bad?!!! what the fuck is wrong with you?

  • Bay got Optimus wrong in so many ways. I think even more than the pre-emptive war thing, how can the leader of what is supposed to be the noble side go around melting the face of villians or ripping their faces out yelling "give me your face!". Or chopping them violently to bits with a sword. What happened to the good, self-sacrificing, pure hero from the animated series/movies? Why has he been crossed with some anti-hero mob boss assassin type who goes criminally insane in battle?

  • "Where did all the money go?", ummm... they blew up half of Egypt...

  • Who thinks Dark of the Moon is going to bomb?

  • District 9: How can I use special effects to tell a story?

    Avatar: How can I use a story to tell special effects?

    Transformer 2: How can I make America hate me?

  • @JTKomedy Lmao ;) District 9 - depressing piece of shit of a film which completely rips off Alien Nation (especially visually; the first 5 minutes worth). But in plot generally. A.N. is a much, much, much, much, much better film

  • if they cut down he jokes it would have been awsome

  • The 2nd Transformers flick is solid proof that you can write a shallow movie script on a stamp.

  • Oh well most movies I know have a stupid plot that I don't really care about then have allot of unnecessary CGI but hey it keeps 5 year olds blindly sitting through it and laughing at the random joke thrown in EVEN THOUGH I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PLOT

  • Subplots of the movie:

    1. Sam has an AllSpark shard, and gains its memories

    2. Sam's memories suddenly gain the coordinates to the Matrix of Leadership

    3. Megatron's back

    4. Optimus dies

    5. The Matrix gives you access to the Star Harvester

    6. Sam has girl problems

    7. Simmons is out of his job, but has lots of intel

    Is there any MAIN plot here? IS THERE? WELL?!?!

  • Gotta be a Trasformers Fan to love Transformers Movies and Matthew I can Make Logic of it if you need my help Ill be glad to assist give me a list of questions that you would like answered Ill help you out

  • Gotta be a Trasformers Fan to love Transformers Movies and Matthew I can Make Logic of it if you need my help Ill be glad to assist

  • A**HOLES!!!

  • The effects didn't look any different, neither did Spider-Man 3

  • 200 million dollars!!!

    What. The . Fuck?!

  • The Transformers are fully realized characters in the comics (and to a lesser, but still good extent in the cartoons). In the films, they are just there to make things go boom.

  • @Relugus And how could anyone fuck up Optimus Prime...HOW? Michael Bay could though. Optimus would never tip his hat to pre-emptive war but he did exactly that in the beginning of RoTF.

  • Even Uwe Boll hates Michael Bay......Enough said.

  • now dat i heard that u re not even a movie reviewer u r a movie CRITICIZER

  • are you serious? you are disrespectin the top 10 movies? great watch the 3rd and it will give you a movie youll finally like

  • zack?paul? you know what who cares? sam? lol

  • What happens if Michael Bay actually does suck his dick?

  • Totally agree here Confused Matthew. Michael Bay fuck you! I officially challenge you to a Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome style fight to the death. Tina Turner can ref. I want to beat you to death for making this. Please do not go see the next installment in crap 3D. It will be sure to suck.

    Good review Confused Matthew.

  • Michael BAy is offically the worst director ever

  • I kept looking at my phone for the time when I was in theaters watching this film.

  • The Fallen might as well have said "Hello, humans. You are powerless to the Fallen. There is nothing you can do but suck my ballz!

  • FUCK ALL OF U PUSSY ASS MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!

  • MICHAEL BAY SUCK MY DICK!!

  • I didnt have a clue what was going on in that movie

  • this movie gets worse everytime you watch it because you notice all the mistakes

  • thanks for nothing michael bay

  • I never watched Transformers as a kid, so I didn't care for these movies.

    Now I see I dodge the bullet :D

  • @Curseco watch the first movie. don't watch the second one.

  • Didnt you guys think the first one was like the sequel you described. Personally, I hated the first one so much that I never bothered or will to see the second one. Michael Bay just doesnt get Transformers.

  • Great review, really good comments and really funny, i had a good time listening to you guys !

  • You would honestly rather die than watch this film again? Yeah, it was bad, but not worth dying to avoid.

  • @FireMask2012 its called sarcasm

  • @FireMask2012 lol i would...ok maybe not...but I'd definitely die if it meant avoiding District 9.

  • Comment removed

  • We spent $14 dollars on a tub of popcorn and 2 drinks and $16 on the movie and and at the end of the movie we felt like we'd gotten a bargain on the snacks, OK!

  • They made the trancformers to be Gods and these Tranceformer Gods crated us. lol

  • When will Michael Bay learn that explosions don't make a good movie?

  • @spooky57571

    When his movies don't make $500 million.

  • Go-motion is better than CGI, the special effects should not be that important. Story takes priority along with characters.

  • Comment removed

  • @dylan1998ful

    Before you go pretending to yell a ridiculous message of, "YOU GUYS ARE ASSHOLES THIS MOVIE WAS AWEOSME," you should consider two things:

    1. Why did these critics dislike the movie? Were their reasons justified?

    2. Should I give reasons why I did like it instead of acting like a douche?

    Both answers should be yes. You can redeem yourself by doing exactly that, but you'll probably just type in caps lock at me.

  • @AniMasons your right i am sorry and Confused Matthew i am sorry for the bad comment its juts i realy liked the movie.

    sorry :(

  • i am directly below the enemy scrotum....... do i need to say anything else?

  • Why would you quote Roger Ebert if you don't like him.

  • @theangrymoviedork

    shut the fuck up! He never said he didnt like him he said he was wrong with knowing and minorty report. Will you stop trying to get attention.

  • at least this film is KIND OF watchable compared to the Last Airbender. Now THAT movie was a PIECE OF SHIT!!

  • @RaizingArizona or twilight

  • @elite01171 and even though I made that comment 8 months ago, hell it's even more watchable than Justin Bieber Never Say Never. Good god is the movie and music media fucked up these days!!!

  • I finally saw the movie and it's as bad as Matthew and Stan said it was.

  • "or transformers, revenge of michael bay, or revenge of hollywood on people who like quality movies" LOL

  • this FUCK of a film xD

    hey micheal bay, suck my dick! roflmao

  • Transformers 2 was the biggest piece of shit to ever go on theater. 1. Barely any action 2. I HATE(and i cant stress enough) HATE HATE HATE the stupid love thing they tried to bring in it. and to think shia lebouff said "there wasnt enough human emotion in this movie" FUCK YOU SHIA 3. FUCK THE STORY.

  • I'd much rather tell "Michael Bay, stop making movies. For the love of God and all that is good and right with humanity, stop making movies."

    By the scene where Shia goes to Robot Heaven, I was thinking, "Christ, even the MST3K guys would have a hard time sitting through this shit," and "Did this have a script or did Bay just whipe his ass and have them film that?"

  • this movie was just CGI shit mixed with a bullshit story that didn't make any sense second worse movie I've ever seen

  • Michael Bay has now become a clone of Uwe Boll, 'cept with more money and dynamite.

  • I think y'all barely scratched the surface with this review. But I agree with the District 9 love, glad it was nominated for the oscar. (an I enjoyed it more than i did Avatar).

    Ive previously joked around saying that hasbro needs to pull the reigns of their properties, though Gi Joe was just as dumb as TF2, atleast I didnt feel insulted.

  • Transformers is popcorn cinema, you shouldnt excpect that much. I found it very entertaining and I cant really understand the harsh critism of the cgi effects, they are really not that bad.

  • The sound design was sleek, the effects were amazing, the score was awesome, Peter Cullen is bad ass, the forrest fight was kick ass, some of the action was okay, Shia was decent, Megan Fox was hot, but the rest... Was TEEEEEEEEERIBBLE! So no its not the worst movie ever made, that honor goes to Tommy Wiseaus "The Room". :)

  • @insomniac011101 i agree but its one of the worst

  • I wouldn't call it the worst movie ever. It's no Death Bed, but it's still pretty fucking bad.

  • Really, after the first half hour, I could not follow this movie's sequences at all... really... never have I felt so disoriented at what's happening in front of me to the point of not being able to watch a film...

  • I'm glad I never wasted my time seeing this, or the first one either. it just goes to show Michael Bay only knows special effects, and not the "little" details like story and character development.

  • Watch the adaptation of Transformers: The War Within, its made on a zero budget but its true to the spirit of the Transformers comics, which are character driven and focus on the Transformers.

    Bay does not get that the Transformers are SENTIENT robots. They are robots that transform into cars, but Bay thinks they are cars that transform into robots. Big difference. The whole point of the TFs is that they are "everymen", including the Decepticons, robot pastiches of humans.

  • This movie was Awesome! I almost shouted FUCK YEAH MAN!! when the Village exploded at the end!

  • I did enjoy it because of the explosions and fighting robots.

    However, I do agree with your review on how retarded the movie is. The humor was completely unnecessary, plot feels (and is probably) rushed, and the characters are unbelievably retarded and useless.

    Love the use of "Michael Bay, suck my dick!"

  • michael bay, suck my di....  LMFAO

  • wat the fuck was happenin in that movie LMAO

  • Comment removed

  • "michael bay, suck my dick"

  • Essentially, this movie is what happens when Michael Bay is given a blank check to do whatever he wants. And the result is explosions, more explosions and still more explosions, with blatant stereotpyes and shitty acting thrown in. Plot? Sorry, Bay doesn't know the meaning of plot.

    $200 million and this is the result. $200 million. In a recession climate, that much money got wasted on this shit.

  • this is THE best movie review I have ever heard. absolutely bang on. Couldn't agree more with you guys.

  • I don't fault them for not wanting to watch it again tho lol. What happend to micheal bay movies like the Rock.

  • How many times did you watch this movie. You sound like you only watched it once. I watched it about 7 times to analyze it correctly. One, if you take a moment to study the robot models they are actually better graphics then the last movie. Two, you didn't even know the main characters name. You rushed this review and didn't analyze it properly. What happened to reviews like your revenge of the sith one. Where's the details in this review.

  • I HATE IT

  • I was really hoping you guys would comment on how horrid Sam's character became in this movie. He acts weird to his girlfriend, he won't just tell that stupid bimbo to fuck off; it's like he had his balls cut off or something. I mean almost every one of the college scenes was awful, including the mother eating pot brownies and the weird kid who shared his room. The trailer I saw for this was SO making me wanna see this. Now that I'm watching it, I feel like I was betrayed somehow...

  • @HiroshiMizushima that was the worst part

  • What do you guys have against Pixar?

    Or is it just a way of saying that Transformers' CGI looks cartoonish?

  • I think the point they were making was the Transformers CGI was cartoonish. Pixar animation, while extremely good, does not pass for realistic.

  • @ReviewForReel Wall-E looked realistic until the humans showed up.

  • I was speaking in general terms

  • Oh.Never Mind.

  • Ive never heaer any one who likes Transformers say any thing bad abowt it.

    id like to hear a negitive revew from some one who was rly into the transformers...

    good revew though :)

  • Terrible movie. Typical Michael Bay crap.

  • I could literally feel my brain shutting down while watching this movie. I honestly think my central nervous system was trying to defend itself by putting me into a coma.

  • @ByrdBryans LOL

  • terrible film, i like action but this film had way too damn much.

  • That movie was shit. It bored me to death.

  • 5:45 speaking of things that could be cut out....why is "Leo" in the movie!?!?!?! he's a foil who whines a lot....ALOT!!!! i's rather have every 5seconds of him replaced with one second of arcee or sideswipe or jolt....jolt got like 10 seconds of screentime!!!! his point in the movie was to mount the afterburners to optimus and that's it?!?!?!?

  • that was pretty bad

  • How could anyone defend this movie? I never had any predisposition to hate this movie before I went into see it but by about half way through I was physically distraught over how bad it was.

  • Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is my favorite movie!

    I also have down syndrome.

  • PS: didn't you pay attention when Jetfire got his memory back and started teleporting? look around him, BB and the twins were there for christ sake! confusedmathew, i bet you didn't even see the movie. even if you did, you sure had your head up your ass.

  • There are a lot of shitty and unescessary stuff in this movie. however, i fucking loved the new versions of Soundwave, Ravage, the Constructicons, Devastator and of course the epic old man, Jetfire.

    Megan Fox is HOT as hell, but she is a bad actress, except for three parts of this movie.

  • Hey!!! i hate very very VERY much this movie too, but easy on John Turturro. One of the greatest actor of this world. That was the most tragic of this movie. destroy an amazing carrer with an ASS SHOOT is something i never saw.

  • Yo Stand in Stan....you really would rather die?

  • Michael Bay is the equivalent to AIDS in the movie business...for all you Bay fanboys out there here's what you got:

    - Ghetto robots

    - Giant robot testicles

    - Slow motion

    - Humans

    - No story

    - Terrible humor

    That said, the only ray of light in the movie I thought was Jetfire, he was a true badass, and he actually had more than three lines of dialogue, so naturally he's killed off.

    - Michael Bay and his retard fanbase can eat shit

  • @Manatizzle89 hey, if you want to kill Michael, then you could find his address and finish him off :P

  • don't want to kill him, just want him to stop making movies period

  • there's always the if you don't like him then don't watch him scenario, but I'm gonna ignore it. I just see someone do a handy dandy guide to him.

  • -Explosions

    -Random Noise

    -Racism

    -Cameras that only shake or spin

  • Michael Bay, Suck My Dick!!! So fucking hilarious!!!

  • Hey matt do you wahnt to know a nother hideoius lotrostist bad specil effects film that is like 5 times worst then this GI JOE RISE OF COBRA!!!! THAT MOVIE SUCK ELAPENT DONG POOR SPECIL EFFECTS TERRBIL ACTORS TERRBIL ACTING NOTHING LIKE THE SHOW NOTHING LIKE THE COMICS AND THAEY GAVE COBRA COMMDERS REAL NAME REX AND HIS SISTER IS THE BARANIS YOU COULD BARLEY HERE WHAT THER SAYING CUSE THAEY ALL TALK IN A CHIRSTI BALE BATMAN VOCIE OH GOD WORSE MOVIE EVER

  • As a Transformers fan since the mid 90's, I have to say that this movie dealt a solid blow to the groin of the fanbase. There have been some REALLY GOOD incarnations of Transformers, but despite that, Michael Bay succeeded in sending us the message that he does not like Transformers and that he's only in it because of the paycheck. "A stupid toy movie" indeed.

    And the audiences just lapped it up.

  • I absolutely agree with you, but I'm not sure what you meant by "you hated the effects." Can you please clarify for me? Personally, I thought the robots themselves looked good, but the effects with them in it sped by so quickly that the audience can't help but to view them all as merely props that speak.

  • How can people who liked the first movie not like this? I didn't like Transformers, in fact I thought it was retarded, but everyone seemed to think it was great. Well this is the same. It's the same shit, with some added dumb jokes. If people like it, fine, but both are bad films.

  • To be honest i thought this movie was ok but i understand why everybody hated it, there was no plot, there was 30 minutes of that useless collage bullshit, those annoying ass twins who contributed nothing to the movie but shitty comedy releif, but again im gonna be honest there were some things that entertained me. I consider it a guilty pleasure.

  • I just saw this and it has to be one hell of an over the top movie. All i can say is Carm the Flip down!" It was all over the place..with a weird dialog.

  • Wow! Fuck this is the worst movie of the year, totaly! Is this the first time Michael Bay wrote the script?

  • I was wrong New Moon is the worst film of the decade.

  • Fuck Michael Bay

  • I really want to rent this movie just to see how bad it is so I can really give it a reason to say it suck.

    Can't still believe that some of my friends like this peas of shit!

  • xD 5:26

  • the funny thing is it got double its money back

    it cost 2 hundred million

    the got 2 Hundred million profit!

    i am not saying its good its bad but it's interesting to know

  • Funny isn't quite the word I would use. Tragic, perhaps.

  • don't you mean 4 Hundred million profit dood?

  • no it cost 2 hundred million and made 2 hundred million profit. i am pretty sure on that but if i'm wrong then dam what a waste of money

  • the 1985 animated film is still the best one

  • Seeing how you both sum up this film makes me think about Quantum of Solace, its just action and noise, Casino Royale was just fantastic I was so decepointed. Both Transformers films sounds shitty.

  • well  done

  • Ah wait until the sequel

  • I FUCKING HATE MICHAEL BAY AND HIS MOVIES. This is an insult to my intelligence.

  • I hated that movie so much. XD

  • Bring on Avatar!!!!!!!!1

  • I assume most of the budget was spent on marketing. Why put money and effort on quality, if people will go watch the most hyped film anyway.

  • so bad i was surprised ben affleck wasnt in it...

  • Haha, no.

  • Matthew and Stan, I hated this movie, PLEASE RIP IT APART

  • I actually watched the film twice, trying my best to make sense of all the plotholes, and I can say first hand, there is no way to make sense of it. The only thing that I'm not entirely sure about is that whole, Only a prime can kill a prime thing. What they say is that only a prime can kill the fallen, but the fallen himself is a prime, but they do say that he is the most powerful of the primes, but then why does it need to be a prime to kill him and...

  • Do you see the confusion here?

  • roflmao

    "Micheal Bay! SUCK MY DICK!" *Stan laughs*

    hehehe matthew your fucking funny

  • I dunno, it was one of those movies that was so bad I found it hilarious. Especially the ridiculous fight scenes near the end, I was laughing my ass off.

  • "I don't know why I said "Zack"; who the F- knows?"

    "Who cares?"

    "Who gives a sh--?"

    "Who cares?"

    More entertaining than the movie. :D

  • *Sigh*

    And all my dumbass friends ran out with their arms in the air, screaming about how 'aaaawesome' this film was. I didnt even have to go see it to know i'd hate it.

  • 1. I don't think the special effects were bad or worse than the first one.

    2. The money was spent on that explosion

    3. The first hour of the movie was pointless weird and the second half looked like retakes from first movie.

  • I don't know what you guys were talking about, the special effects were nothing short of amazing in the second film, I couldn't follow any of the action in the 1st one because they effects were so bad. This time around I could follow all the action, which was quite epic. This movie was made to entertain with action and great special effects, which it did very well, I like you guys, but this was just a fail of a review.

  • 200 million. Really? They spent that much on this piece of shit? What the hell is this world coming to when you spend 200 million dollars to make a shitty movie filled with a CGI robotic demolition derby/heavy metal rock show? Seriously, I thought the Band of Brothers series was costly for the 125 million it spent. But that covered 705 minutes of footage. This covered 2 hours of the lamest action footage I've ever seen and it cost 75 million more?

  • Why did you two even watch it?
