ELECTRIC BOOGALO? WRATH OF KHAN? THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK? TEMPLE OF DOOM? What will be after the colon for TRANSFORMERS 2?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. There are a million different sequel titles out there... I picked the ones that came immediately to my sleep-deprived mind for the headline... But what will the real title be?
TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
Can't say I'm particularly impressed or particularly upset by the title. I'm sure everyone will just keep calling it TRANSFORMERS 2 either way, but that is the title according to ReserveResult and a link to that story was quickly posted by producer Don Murphy on his message boards.
Thoughts?
-
+ Expand All
-
It worked for Spider-man...
-
Yeah it wasn't perfect but it was a really enjoyable summer blockbuster.... plus Megan Fox has great chesticles!
-
Oh, wait- that's what transformers movies are.
-
...would be my choice.
-
It'll have to be changed to Return of the Fallen. The Fallen don't get revenge...
-
Transformers 2: METAL REFORMED
I'm being serious. My cousin is friends with the continuity chick on the film. And she heard this real title from other people on set. -
unless they're really relevant to the plot these suffix titles are getting truly bizarre. When going to the cinema who will be asking for Quantum Of Solace. Or Salvation The Future Begins. Revenge of the Fallen? Live Free of Die Hard was bad enough but it seems to be on a downward trend
-
Really? That makes it sound as if Megatron entered a penal institution
-
That subtitle is right up his alley. Crappity crap crap crap . . .
-
...with added chef
-
...lawsuits be damned.
-
...with added urination
-
I did not understand the hatred of Transformers. It's really just about big fucking robots, and you know they looked cool. Shia did his thing, Megan Fox looked hot, the supporting actors did what they were paid to do. It was a fun summer movie, mission accomplished.
-
you know that's the real title
-
not the real title folks.
-
yep thats the worst thing that could happen, an ad campaign based on calling it T-2
-
classic
-
Seriously tho, Decepticons Revenge or Megatrons Revenge would've been my choices but nevermind!
Bay knows best, apparently................................... -
That title is as gay as people who enjoyed the first movie.
-
...like reformed turkey? Or reformed drug addict? Has Megatron been to the Betty Ford Decepticon Clinic?
-
IE, why we are seeing Jazz already. I thought it should have some title along the lines of the new Autobots receiving Prime's message and coming to earth. Like...Transformers 2: Homecoming. or Family Reunion
-
tanana
-
better title
-
This one is dedicated to Vern.
-
Havent seen a babe like her for years. Glad to hear we dont have some almost equally hot make up wearing mega computer geek Kiwi like in T1. That was just awqward. & how come no one ever hit on her? Not even Jon Fucking Voight?!
-
That's what I woulda called it. Always loved the Generation 2 phase...
-
Im not in the toy loop. I just know that Toys R Us has been hurting for years because kids are playing so much video games. Are Transformers still, the toy to own?
-
John Ford will kick your ass in hell, Mickey.
-
Not Great. Transfor-MORES?Transformer Free or Transformer Hard?
-
Really? Why?
Plus Megan Fox is trashy-looking. And she's had plastic surgery.
-
Revenge of the Pep Boys on those AC Delco bastards!

Oh dear oh dear.
-
It will be a romance. All those robots greased up with WD-40. Could be very sloppy.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
was the kiwi babe. Yeah, Fox gets all the attention, and dont get me wrong, I'd fuck her. But the hot computer hacker was where it was at. You know Voight made her naughty bits tingle. Hell, Voight probably made Anthony Anderson's naughty bits tingle.
-
Who wouldn't want to watch that over this??
-

WHy raise the bar? They have already proven people will pay top dollar to what 2 hours of shit...why change the formula now?

The first film came out of Michael Bay's colon, a slow moist turd forced out into theatres worldwide. He laid scat and folk paid to see it. They munch scat.
-
to Bay, Orci, and the Murphy dinks. come over and chit chat with us here. but that's only if you're not afraid of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
-
I can't see how anybody that saw the original would pay to see a sequel. Still, there's a lot of stupid people out there.
-
like Metallica
-
Do evil robots go to Robot Hell?And if Lucas produced: Do robots dream of electronic gophers?
-
Now THAT I'd pay to see!
-
The douche.
-
Revenge of the Colon. The Bourne Proctology. Rise of the Proctolocons.
-
Megan, you know what to do
-
should include all the repaints of the same robot as different characters like the toys

but after the severe taunting, and fisting he got last time, I doubt we'll ever see him nor his masters again.
-
TRANSFORMERS 2: TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION
-
Anyone saying blah blah this movie sucks I don't know who would want to see a sequel. At work tell the co-worker you talk to the least that they are making a Transformers sequel and watch his face light up with joy.
-
that's right.
-

-
Tagline: It's Showtime!
-
In Space, no one can hear you yawn.
-
You know you want a drink.
-
That these two guys who fucked up the Transformer universe wrote the script for the new Star Trek? I mean if they can't even handle Transformers how could they even begin to handle Star Trek? OH I KNOW BY ENSURING THAT THERE IS NO ROLE FOR KIRK. Just like Mikieal Bay saying that he wanted to make a HUMAN movie. JJ will probably say that he didn't want to make a KIRK movie. Maybe we'll get to see Simon Pegg piss on something.

TRANSFORMERS 2: AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T NUKE THE FRIDGE
by bringingsexyback
What?
-
even bay couldnt mess that one up.
-
PLease oh Please!!!!!
-
Just go with something simple, like "Megatron Returns" for Christsake. Don't make the name of a GIANT ROBOT MOVIE sound so pretentious. The "Fallen?" Bay's referring to the decepticons, right? Well, they're just angry GIANT ROBOTS who want allspark, and to rule the galaxy. No one is referring to them as "the fallen," certainly not with any amount of sympathy.

Transformers 2: You Got A Few Bucks For Gas?
by slyandthefamilystallone
-
Overall, it was dumb fun and I liked the ride. But I was with my eight-year old daughter, and didn't care for the way Bay objectified Megan Fox's character onscreen. Don't get me wrong; as a guy, I liked it, but as a young girl's father, I could have done without my kid seeing a teenage girl be portrayed as a piece of meat. Even if Megan Fox (or her character) IS a piece of meat. What I'm saying is, the movie seemed marketed for a younger crowd, but then it kinda straddled the fence with pee jokes, references to masturbation, and gratuitous shots of Megan Fox's bare midriff, her tits, and her ass sticking out from under a car hood as Tarzan LaBeouf looks on admiringly DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY

Transformers 2: Reveng of the Lowest Common Denominator.
by adolfwolfli
Really, the fact that space is being wasted on this is sad. This movie was the theatrical equivalent of a Walmart special – flattened out by focus groups into a big dumb piece of uber-generic commercial crap. It wound up being, impossibly, more cartoonish and empty and reeking of product tie-ins than the cartoon that inspired it, a cartoon that was created just to sell toys anyway. Fatuous is the only word that comes to mind.

This movie is a huge trick. Everyone will on in thinking "Maybe they learned their lesson and can make a good movie?" and then it's even worse! Remember Bad boys 2? Also known as Bad Boys 2: We Hate Cubans.

More craptasticness from the likes of a filmmaker whose only ideas come from watching other craptasticness from other films and cobbling them all together time after time to make virtually the same movie again and again. Geeky Hero: check. Motley crew of insanely talented human misfit sidekicks: check. Crazy and/or out of touch bad guy/misguided good guy: check. Incomprehensible technological threat: check. Stereotypical tough and sexy women who work on oil rigs or cars: check (or are sassy minorities). Slow motion shots: check. Explosions in public places: check. AND Robots, Asteriod, Island Prison, Cloning, or Island Prison and Cloning, or someother element that unites all of the above together: check. Seriously, Michael Bay made a movie, once, and has replicated it over and over again. Who cares what we call it, they are all the same.

I will go see a drama, an art house film, or a Woody Allen movie. Transformers delivers on what it is, giant robots fighting and causing massive destruction. I am just curious as to what everyone was expecting from Transformers, substance? Meaning? Who cares about the stereotypical characters, paper thin plot, and the fact that Bay seems to use the same music in all of his movies (which I have to say is really annoying)? It was what it was supposed to be, a giant robot destructo-thon. I will admit the hyper-editing style did confuse me at times, Bay's editor needs to get off the drugs.
-
I know these films don't have alot of thrown at them, so how about we all pitch in and buy Micheal Bay a camera stand, because i don't know about you guys but i couldn't out WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON in the first one. Either that, or someone get a memo to Spielberg to sit him down and have a little chat with him.. i mean jeezzz.

by jackie boy
It's like in a few years when ASS: THE MOVIE comes out. "come on, buds, what'd you expect? It's ASS THE MOVIE. if you wanted something gay like a plot that didn't insult and offend your intelligence than go watch some faggot STEEL MAGNOLIAS shit." Now I'm exagerrating to make a point so don't take this as a personal attack. hell everyone I know thinks I'm crazy for not liking it. I know there's the "it's just a dumb summer action movie" argument but come on now, look at shit like, I don't know, DIE HARD. Die Hard was an action movie that had a good script, good characters, a good villian, and good action. Transformers had a robot pissing on John Turturro and robots stepping on patio furniature saying 'my bad.' It was an empty commercial product, with a song form a hot new band thrown awkwardly on the soundtrack so they could play the video on MTV. As far as characters go, we had carbon copies from the shitty action cliche book. The wacky gvt. agent, the wacky black guy (ha ha get it? he's fat too!) the soldier who we know we have to like because he has a baby, the fake tanned fuck interest (in those other faggot movies they're called love interests, but this is TRANSFORMERS, what do you want from it?) etc. Our main baddie Megatron, wasn't even fucking mentioned until the last what half an hour of the movie? I could go on but let me get to the action. In my opinion this was the one thing Bay should have gotten right, but it kinda sucked man. We couldn't really tell the robots apart as is, but add in the fucking editing and outrageously close shots (imagine a kung fu fight, with extreme close ups of the motherfucker's forehead wrinkle) and I just started getting pissed off. It wasn't exciting or entertaining, or cool in any sort of way, it looked like my car had a fucking abortion and was squishing up the little car fetus. And then that fucking shot of the lady in the dress screaming in slow motion.... But it's all okay, really. No shots lasted longer than four seconds (The MTV ADD style to distract you) and there was a few 'splosions so that makes it good. How can you hate it, you dick? Shia's so hot in it! (Direct quote from one of my cousin's bimbo friends) ...In so many words, here's a start to why some of us don't dig on Transformers.
-
Oh shit, the big boss battle! No, what we got was Megatron throwing Prime down a street maybe twice, "Put it in my chest, Samuel!" (I swear, this was the tagline of summer '07 for a few of my buds for all the obvious reasons) and all of a sudden he's wasted.

Thank you, at least someone responded, instead of just spouting out nonsense. I do agree with some of your points, as I have said in previous posts I have made. The frantic editing drove me nuts too, but I still enjoyed the movie. I am a bit puzzled why so many people focus on the whole robot pissing on John Tuturro thing. Ok, it was dumb and not necessary, but so many people seem to cite that as a main reason the movie sucked. A 20 second scene dosen't bring a movie down, yes it contributes to its stupidity I agree, but I think it's made out to be a bigger deal than it is, that's all.

WE all know what a terrific actor Turturro established himself to be in the '90s. Kids these days probably only know him as the kooky guy from Transformers that gets peed on and that drives some of us nuts. However I think shit like 'Flames on Optimus' is a ridiculous thing to complain about, and that's part of the reason AICN doesn't really have much credibility in the real world.

You know GM will shell out the cash for one... "Hot Rod, why you eatin' corn?"DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY!!! AND GEROGE LUCAS!!!
-
I agree, I mean come on flames on Optimus? That's what people complain about? OMG, who fucking cares, did people complain when the X Men were outfitted in black leather? Sometimes liberties are taken, live with it. I see your point about JT as well, a great actor that kids will remember as the guy who got pissed on, not cool. But at the same time, it's not a major reason to cite as why the movie sucked, at least IMHO.

whoopi can get the autobots to put on a song and dance show to save bernie macs car dealership from going under.

Over here, we pay a whopping 1.53 EUR for 1 liter. That translates into $2.37 for ONE liter.So that's $8.98 per gallon.So, STOP WHINING FFS. Thank you.

I found most of the scenes were disjointed, the dialogue was either stupid or clunky, the acting (particularly from the second tier characters) was terrible and the titular characters were distractingly etherial in the final scenes. To evidence my first point look at the "driving her home" scene which screechingly stops and starts with practically every cut and barely makes any sense at all or the "Autobots crash into everything as they fall to earth" scene in which one of the bots lands right in front of our heroes then seemingly runs away to only to drive back for group introductions 1 minute later. As to the second point I'll just say that there are plenty of websites on the WWW which could actually teach visitors from space the english language. Moving on. The blonde aussie chick was possibly the Worst Actress Ever, while her donut eating friend clearly was the worlds Least Convincing IT Expert. In fact none of the acting was of any interest but that largely rests with the fact that there was not a single weighty scene in the script. However my final point is probably the least forgivable. There are several points in the battle at the end of the film where the bots should be in the shot but just aren't. In practically every shot that was either a mid or CU on the human characters the transformers simply disappear. This is simply sloppy at best and horribly distracting at worst. It punches a hole in the one defense the film had, that it looks cool. It's an error in continuity so egregious that it destroys any tension during those final scenes.
-
A more fitting title methinks.
-
Somebody had to say it.
-
Also, ...no, never mind. I got nothing.
-
Optimus is aghast when Bumblebee forms a partnership (domestic) with Megatron. Will the Autobots and Decpeticons embrace the marriage? Will the Constitution of Cybertron be amended to prevent further same bot weddings? And will Starscream throw a hissy fit when he finds out he's not Maid of Honor because he's not made of honor?

...a billion posts ago, the title is what it is because of the character The Fallen (from the TF comics). I appreciate bullshitting as much as the next nerd, but a little research is always better than sounding like an idiot.
-
meets Thundarr and Battlestarr for a big fight at the Castle of Greyskull
-
Seriously...it's a meta-title.

If the clowns wrote that script too.DAMN YOU JJ ABRAMS!

A big, overhyped mess. I had the same feeling leaving the theater as I did when I left Godzilla. I just assumed that everyone else also thought it was a disaster. I'm still shocked that so many people love it the way they do, and are actually looking forward to the sequel as if it is a big event. I hate to sound like an old man (I'm pushing 40), but God have our standards plummeted, even for popcorn movies.
-
Every talkbacker here would go to see this movie 10 times and would buy 5 DVDs and 5 Blu-Rays of it. You all know it's true.

he has helicopter blades pop out of his head so he can circle the capitol building against the sunset like every other Michael Bay movie

Transformers 2: Michael Bay and Explosions don't pretend you won

"BAYFORMERS: MORE THEN MEETS THE ANUS"
IT's sad, but this really made me laugh! -
innit

Riddle me this: How can a robot travel zillions of lights years in space (which is near Absolute Zero) with no problem but WHAM! it hits a patch of ice and is frozen solid? Curious minds want to know...
-
That's what I heard the title is going to be. Just AWESOME MOVIE!
-
but how embarrassing is it to not be able to spell "Boogaloo"/"Bugaloo"? Other than cinema's most mocked sequel title (Breakin' 2: electric Boobaloo"), it was a popular '60s dance craze and a kids children television series (1970).

I agree with you on the Godzilla fiasco. It should have had a different title, because it wasn't Godzilla the way anyone remembers it, save for his yell, and that's the only way you knew it was supposed to be Godzilla. As far as a sequel, I guess I am hoping they do it right this time, although I doubt that will happen, but being the optimist that I am, I am sure I will see it. That being said, I thing Godzilla was a bigger mess than Transformers, IMHO.

I'm just waiting for a THE HAPPENING talkback to pop up.

I still prefer my 2 BOTS 1 CUP.

Optimus Prime leader and hero of the Autobots
charges into certain doom. As he battles his way
through the Decepticons, we HEAR an inspiring anthem
of courage, strength and triumph, like "Eye of the
Tiger".
This theme will reprise during the film when the
Autobots are battling at impossible odds.
-
No problems. Great minds think alike. Or something like that.

2 YOUNG 2 DIE. Jethro Tull were great back in-the-day.

Transformers 2: abstract scraps of whirling metal...boogaloo
by samsquanch

Yep, I just threw up in here people. Another layer to the legend.
-
this time. bet on it
-
I'd put money on that being the real title, they'll also be music from Stan Bush.
-
"You've got the power! Now put it in my chest, Samuel!"
-
I just kinda wish I was the one who started that whole meme.
-
In a world where speed is everything, Autobots and Decepticons put down there weapons of mass destruction and burn rubber to see whose the fasts robot! Guess starring KITT(Decepticon) and the MACH 5(Autobot). Plus an added bonus, the audience will be having agonizing brain seizures that will last for days.
