Do we know if the film takes place in real time? It may only be 6 months after the events of the first film. Nah. The film begins with Optimus Prime's voice-over: "For the last two years..." Martin |

It shows how little I thought of the film that I've never bothered to see it since it appeared in cinemas. I only remember several dozen explosions and an overwhelming sense of boredom. Breaking news - Amazon UK have just cut the price of the ROTF 2 disc edition to £8.88. |

Oh, I thought the whole Autobot logo was the Flash drive. But it's only a small section. What's the point?
It fails to pass the tat test.

Well, it's arrived safely. Nice window box; it'll make a nice display piece.

There's a curious statement on the USB's packaging. "Initial viewing on a given device must take place by 31.12.2010." No wonder it was so cheap. It seems you need to activate it online, so perhaps the website's going to be taken down after that date.

I've not checked mine out yet. Is there any way to wipe the movie off and free up more space, or is it in a protected sector

Revenge of the Fallen premieres on terrestrial next Sunday. I approve of the way Radio Times concludes its review of the film:

Some civilians who did told me it was the most terrible film they had ever seen. I apologised.

No idea, but generally the comments I heard related to finding ROTF crude, vulgar, unsuitable for kids and generally boring.

Just seen photo of michael bay signed a copy of DOTM DVD. i want his autograph as much as I want shane mcarty AHM bloke's. That's the best way to make your copy of DOTM worthless. You'd have to get Cullen to sign it to make it worth something again.

Watched ROTF one night last week when it was on telly, I forget which chanel. 5 I think. The 'story', characterisation, juvenile humour, and particularly the God aweful Twins were rubbish rubbish rubbish. The action scenes were enjoyable though, especially Devastator (except for the fact he was fighting the twins). I hadn't seen ROTF since seeing it at the cinema, in some desperate hope it'd get better. But it didn't. Shame on you, Bay.

Going purely by the movies (and ignoring the associated media), as far as I'm concerned Devastator killed the twins off-camera before climbing the pyramid.

Heh heh, die Twins die! Yeah but seriously- DIE!!!
ROTF is on telley this weekend. Don't know if someone's mentioned it somewhere already. Infact I think it's tomorrow night, I forget which channel. Right font of information I am!
I gunna watch it. Mrs Shockers' never seen it! It'll only be the third time I've seen it. Saw it twice at the cinema, and haven't seen it since! (Although I've watched the Devastator combination scene a few times on Youlube).

I don't want to think how many times I've watched all the Bay movies, not as much as the 1986 movie, but I've seen them all close to 10 times each (first movie might be closer to 20 times?)
Oh dear!

I have seen ROTF exactly once, which was at the cinema. Had Nick not been with me I would have walked out. Easily one of the most terrible films I have ever paid money to watch in a fleapit. I can quite happily never watch it again.
Saw the 2007 one twice (once on a regular screen, once on IMAX). I found it unwatchable on the small screen. With the big screen sound/picture experience taken away and the shock of the startling special effects removed by repeated exposure I was forced to consider the story, characters and plot and found there were none.
DOTM was not great, but watchable on the big screen (the second half that is: the first half was utter dross) No urge to see it again though.

I think I saw the 2007 film once on the big screen and found it acceptable. It isn't something I find watchable on the small screen. I have tried and found that if I watch it in company usually the end result is chatting starts and the film rattles on in the background without anyone watching it. If I watch it on my own I find that I end up drifting away as well. And also I have to fast-forward through most of the alleged "character development" and "humor" because it just makes me annoyed.
Fallen Dave I have seen all the way through once, in the cinema, and came out wanting to burn the print (yes, I know, digital distribution and all that - it is an old-timer figure of speech). I've not seen it all the way through since then, and am not particularly anxious to the individual bits of it I have seen since then made me annoyed enough.
DotaMan I saw at the cinema in company and, once it stopped pretending to have plot, stopped taking its pills (or possibly started taking them, it is hard to tell) and went off to mental-land in the back end of the film it was amusing in a, quite possibly, unintended kind of way. Needed a pint afterwards, and I would need to be paid proper money to watch the first half again, but as a one-time "what was that supposed to be" experience it scraped by. Not much interest in seeing it again mind.
So I figure I average about 1.75 viewings across the three films. The 1984 movie I don't can't even hazard a guess as to how many times I have seen that, but it is definitely several multiples of the number of times I have seen the live-action films.
By contrast the score for the 2007 film has been listened to a good many times. I've got far more out of that than I did out of all the movies put together.

I was in Chicago for 2007's release of the movie (saw it at botcon too and again in Boston), watched it sometimes twice in a weekend (I was by myself in a strange country with no company and was working up to 6 days a week, the mindless repetition was soothing to me. Then I watched it on Blu Ray a few times since (and airplanes). I find it almost comfortingly familiar at this point.
