Seems like only yesterday when we were getting early glimpses of the first TRANSFORMERS movie. Now, here we go again with our countdown to TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Check out USA TODAY for some cool pics of the upcoming movie. It looks like almost the entire human cast is back (Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Torturro, Josh Duhamel). And of course the Autobots (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, etc) and Decepticons (Starscream, Megatron) will be returning. However, this time around we'll finally be seeing fan favorites like Devastator and Soundwave! Edited by Ro-Dan, Dec 30 2008, 10:35 AM.

Thanks for the link, Dan. Not sure if you remember this but director Michael Bay commented that when he approached Megan Fox about being in the "Transformers" sequel she asked some questions about her character's role in the sequel. Bay assured the actress that she only had to do what she did in the first film: read her lines and look good. Megan Fox later told the media her reply to Bay was "Well, I'll do what I can."

I don't think she's a very good actress, but she does a damn find job of looking good. She was the best reason to watch the original, and the best reason to watch the sequel.But besides that, I thought the original was a fun movie. I don't expect an oscar-worthy script in this one either, but I do expect a fun movie. |

Eh, it would be kinda corny if they did, but I wouldn't mind hearing an updated version of it say in like the closing credits or something. |

I don't want to say I'm evil, but I've always been a decepticon kinda guy. I seen Blackout in the backround of a trailer. Micheal Bay said Megatron and Blackout wouldn't return, But here they are being confirmed by Micheal bay himself, Does he even no what transformers are in the movie! Or just trying to keep secret. hmf.

I saw it yesterday and it was a big let down. Way too long, a lot of cussing and they added too much comedy. Should have left the comedy at the same level as the 1st movie. I do not mind cussing at all but it just did not fit in this movie. Megan Fox was worth it, but still upset since I was a huge fan of the first movie. |

This film is certainly generating some serious revenue at the domestic(US) box office thus far: http://www.superherohype.com/news/transformersnews.php?id=8464 |

I won't say it was a big let down but it definitely was a step in the wrong direction. There was entirely way too much profanity used in this movie (Though when Ironhide called Demolisher a "punk ass decepticon" I got a kick out of that) and the comedy definitely felt forced a lot of time. I also thought the ending was rushed and incomplete. But I will say it was WAY too long! I mean this movie just felt LONG. But outside of that, I didn't have a complaints. Megan Fox got more time, she definitely helps out the film :D Out of 5 stars, I would say this is a 3.5. |

Transformers - Revenge Of The Fallen(2009) has generated $591.5 million in revenue worldwide to date: http://www.superherohype.com/news/transformersnews.php?id=8480 I wonder if this film can hit the $700 million mark, in worldwide receipts. ? |

I saw it on Sunday night...my first time in an IMAX theater, and while I wasn't expecting much (I didn't think the original was very good) this one just seem to drag on and was full of unnecessary scenes. I mostly agree with the previous opinions posted: Too long, too much forced comedy, unnecessary profanity, too many plot points brought in that weren't developed well enough, and finally, too many actors. The movie had way too many human characters with too many lines and screen time, and believe this is what made the movie way too long. The only plus is it seemed like they added a bit more footage of the Transformers themselves fighting, which was nice because the last film seemed lacking in that department. |

Wow. I'll admit the special effects were good, but this movie is far from worthy of those kinds of sales. This one definitely draws a line between cash draw hype and true quality filmmaking. Admittedly, I'm probably a harsher judge of the Transformers films than I am others...most likely because the cartoon and toy lines of the 80's were so beloved to me and I feel like this film series has tarnished that legacy somewhat. |

Nah I feel the same way Josh. I thought the movie had great special effects but the movie was poor. The person I went to the movies with (who isn't a Transformers' fan) thought it was "dumb" movie and was lost in all the explosions and chaos. I don't think it tarnished the legacy but it sure as hell didn't help it... |

This post was made a few months ago, but if you've been keeping up with the news recently, you'll probably be disappointed. I was happy to hear that Megan Fox had finally left the series. She was a horrible actress and wasn't even that hot (half the girls at my high school were hotter than that and weren't even trying). But then Micheal Bay goes and hires another "hottie," this time with anorexia (you can see her ribs as plainly as if she were a skeleton), and her audition was allegedly nothing but her posing in a bikini. I have officially lost all respect for Bay as a director. |

She was the best reason to watch the original, and the best reason to watch the sequel.
