From the Daily Herald review of Transformers:2

Megan Fox, with her iridescent blue eyes and pneumatic lips, doesn't act so much as pose, except in the final reel when Bay's slow motion cameras capture her running in a low-cut tank top. Over and over.

I read Eberts review of the flick.

I'd rather watch the ass to ass scene at the end of Requiem For a Dream...

Not a fan either. Too much noise and FX.
Enjoyed "Pelham..123" because it did not involve any of that shit.

Liked the movie. Has some unexplainable events. For example one scene tanks were scrambled for an amphibian assault the same time planes were scrambled from an aircraft carrier. The tanks got to the final destination first. Kinda knit-picky I guess.

Overall the move is VERY entertaining. Some really funny moments through out.

No doubt you need Viagra if you're not a Megan Fox fan after this movie. She is smokin' hot.

I enjoyed the movie but maybe cuz I was always a Transformers geek. The movie was 2 1/2 hrs long but yet it still felt rushed. I also think there could have been alot more dialogue between the Autobots. The movie could have been alot better but I still enjoyed it. I'll be takin my boys to go see in this afternoon

Wow, I should pay to have my senses assaulted for 2.5 hours because, as we all know, there are no pictures of Megan Fox available on the internet.

First of all, check out www.askmen.com if you want to see photos of Megan Fox. You'll be glad you did. :wink: Second, if "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was ripped to shreds by the critics, it made a lot of $$$$ in its first 5 days of release. For a movie that may be one of the worst movies of 2009, moviegoers spent $112 million over the last 3 days and has made over $120 million overall in domestic sales. Go figure!

I sat through this shit fest the other rainy day.

It should have simply been titled: Transformers 2 featuring Megan Fox's bouncing breasts

Interesting that she and the director are going at it in the media now. He used her body (surely not her pock marked face) and she used him to get her name out there.

What a shit fuck movie.

Finally rented this. My low expectations were even too high. The movie just needed to be Megan Fox and that's it. I'm not joking when I say the movie would have been 10 times better if they removed the dialogue all together. The plot was nonsensical, the jokes were just plain bad, and the saddest part is they'll make another one.

I really think they missed an opportunity with this. If they cleaned it up and took out all the racial slurs and sex jokes, then they could have really sold it to kids, and thus capitalized more on the marketing end (toys, etc.). However, if they made it darker and deeper plot, then perhaps they could have sold this to an older crowd who grew up with this stuff (like me). Instead I think they aimed at the 13 year old boy who isn't likely to spend more money to buy anything Transformers related and certainly doesn't have much disposable income to spend anyway. So even from a marketing side, this thing missed its potential. (I don't know how much it cost to make or its profit, i just think they could've made more if it was targeted right).

Just an awful movie.

According to this site it cost $200 mil to make and made $800 mil box office. So it was a success... I guess I underestimated how many people will pay to see Megan Fox in short shorts.

G.I. Joe was 100x better then this but made like 300 million worldwide.
