Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Two-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Great job

This is a great example of what a movie and special features should look like on blu-ray. A lot of distributers try to cram in useless extras like U-Control and BDLIVE, that simply don't satisfy the people who actually watch special features. Transformers 2 has a good block of behind the scenes footage, which is all that is necessary. Separate extra segments with titles, but put them all in the same 2 hour chunk of time. I was very impressed with my Blu-ray edition, and I'm sure they designed this disc solely with the audience and fans in mind. Other stuff like interactive games and transformers history are on the disc as well, which might not be as entertaining, but interesting none the less. My only issue with the disc(Not the film) would be that Michael Bay sounds way too self-righteous on the interview segments. There's about a 20 minute segment explaining how he knows its a good movie and how critics should be ignored. I give him a moment to justify himself, but it seemed like too much time was wasted on this subject on the commmentary and behind the scenes. Now as for the movie: I happened to enjoy this film much more than the first one. Main reason would be that the action sequences are a lot more crisp and clear. I can actually see whats going on in the fights this time. In the last film I had not a clue on who was kicking/punching/stabbing who. I was glad to see that they greatly improved on this aspect, and took a wider shot approach, as opposed to the tight close ups. Ok. This movie has been bashed and criticized in every which way and a lot of it I do agree with. The film is not smart or dynamic, but the one thing it is, is.......entertaining! It would not have sold so many tickets if it was not this entertaining. Michael Bay is making a movie for not only adults, but children as well. Hundreds of children would be left in the dust if Bay tried to make this film an intelligent action thriller. He has to take shortcuts and write lots and lots of jokes to keep people entertained. Otherwise why would we want to watch it more than once. In order to sell so many tickets, he needed to make a huge action movie with comedy sprinkled all over it. Yea, it's a little cheesy at times and some "dramatic" scenes feel like cheap tricks, but I still gotta say that it's great entertainment. Those expecting another Dark Knight or Star Trek will be majorly dissapointed. What this film is about is entertaining a WIDE audience. And it looks like more of the common people were satisfied, rather than the smaller population of critics and skeptics. I happened to like it because it's just good entertainment. It looks beautiful and the action scenes work well, and I even laughed a few times. Don't expect the film to move you in any way. Just expect the beauty of it to blow your mind away.

Item arrived safe. Product was as advertised and DVD played perfectly as expected.

The critics blasted this with only 1 and a half stars-I was a little skeptical about going to see this. Man, I'm glad I did and all I can say is that when this standard, digitized and Blu-Ray copies come out-all you FANS out there, purchase your copies-turn up your "surrounds," and watch it when the feeling comes over you "I feel the need for FUN and ENTERTAINMENT!" For you other egg-heads out there who whine that there is no dialogue or it is nothing but nonstop action and violence---first off the dreary winter of 2009 is around the corner and so are the boring academy award type movies that you crave to see-go see 'em! There, is movies with substance! Nothing wrong with it. Your thing! Now, second, HELLO, It is a Fun SCI-FI movie that is probably the what, part 2 of a Trilogy-or hopefully, more, and usually, number 2 movie sequels of this type are a little darker than their number 1 counter-part and if you FANS remember, the actual Transformer Cartoons where nothing but evil Robots trying to destroy the Good Robots! I'm sure especially when the Big Decepticon in the first scenes was saying to the poor people of Shanghai, China, "oh----excuse me! I didn't really mean to roll right over you----OOps, I'm sorry, I did it again----------" the bad guys are going to indiscriminately and without malice barrel right on thru to get their job done! The Good guys and Robots have to consciously, carefully be mindful of the collateral damage to get the bad guys! Anyway, enough of the issues-get this movie and have FUN LIKE A SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE IS MEANT TO BE-don't forget the dam Popcorn!

First, let me say that "Metalhead" should be ashamed of his atrocious butchering of the English language, both in "choice" of words and in spelling. Maybe he should remove some of that metal and replace it with some education. I'd hate read his job resume. As for his actual opinion of the movie, that's his opinion. As we all know, opinions are like butts, everyone has one, and sooner or later they all stink. By the way, fella, it's about the people AND the bots, okay? The theme is about how we humans and the bots need to trust each other and work together for a common cause. As for me, I saw the movie. Did he? Really? I enjoyed it very much. So did my wife, and she's not nearly the sci-fi fan I am. She fell in love the the Corvette-bot. Bumble Bee is my personal favorite. His expressions - yes, he has them - reminds my wife and me of one of our cats who uses the same kind of guilt-trip looks and sounds when he wants something. The action factor was waaaaay up over the first Transformers since the characters were established and Michael Bay did not see the need to reindroduce them. For that, KUDOS! Way to do it! I like wall-to-wall action. This movie is a 2-1/2-hour roller coaster ride. I really didn't see the need for the mother to get whacked out on those special brownies, but I have to admit it was funny. I only have one criticism about the show. STOP THE STUPID, CONDESCENDING SLOW-MOTION CRAP!!! It does nothing for the movie. It does NOT intensify an exciting and critical moment but only wrecks it. Someone, please get this message out to Mr. Bay and all those other action movie producers and directors. I'm on my knees right now, okay? That's why I appreciate George Lucas. Re-examine the light saber fights in the second Star Wars trilogy, the three prequels. Lightning fast but able to keep up with it. Slo-mo basically explains the sequence. I think we're all smart enough not to need it, don't you? I would have given (not "would of gave", Metalhead!) the movie five stars if it weren't for the slow motion sequences. Still, it's a very worthy effort, expecially with a duffle bag full of fresh popcorn and a 55-gallon drum of soda. One parting shot for Metalhead, I'm listening to Metallica while writing this, just proving that it pays to listen up in English classes.

I love this movie. This is my second copy , me and my boys watch my original one so much that it had to be replaced. This site sells good movies

Ok, some of you are wondering why I gave this 5 stars and I will explain. Let's discuss the story. Sam (LaBeouf) is ready to go to college and be a normal guy. It all goes to hell in a handbasket as the Decepticons steal a fragment of the All Spark and revive Megatron! The Autobots ask for Sam's help, who declines. Soon enough, Sam is in trouble as Megatron tries to capture him because he holds the map to where the Matrix of Leadership is kept. During his rescue, Optimus is destroyed and the Autobots are asked to leave the planet by the government. Sam, now feeling responsible goes on a quest to find the Matrix to revive Optimus and learns that they Transformers have been on Earth for millions of years, led by the Fallen. It is this Decepticon that wants the Matrix to destroy the sun and take it's energy for himself! So now, there is way too much camp and comedy. The story lacks continuity. Megan Fox is hot but can't act. Shia is charmingly annoying. Who is the idiot that plays Leo? Skids and Mudflap....oops? Here is why I give it 5 stars! The Transformers themselves! They are the movie! Frank Welker from the cartoon voices Soundwave. Jetfire! There are more Autobots and Decepticons to enjoy! But the real reason for 5 stars....OPTIMUS PRIME!!! For the first time fans get what they've always wanted, Optimus unleashed. He is a force in this movie and basically kicks a$$ and takes names later! For these reasons, I forget everything else. No one will ever confuse Transformers for Casablanca! That's not what these movies are about! Way go Bay and co. NOW FOR MY BLU RAY THOUGHTS: Excellent picture and audio. The picture is so beautiful, which really brings the CGI characters to life. This is a DEMO DISC! SPECIAL FEATURES: All are carried over plus BD extras. FINAL THOUGHTS: UPGRADE!!! A MUST OWN!

Okay, as a movie script, it is not the best or OSCAR quality, BUT HONESTLY, are you expecting one? For some of the reviewers here, get real... the movie is trying to target a wide audience base, and to do that is never easy, especially with a movie that is taken from a cartoon!!! Remember, it is originally a cartoon!!! Okay, enough venting... the movie in Blu-ray format was simply stunning... details and resolution was a big WOW... sound effects was awesome in DTS. I bought the movie simply for the constant non-stop action, awesome graphics and surround sound, blu-ray quality... I would even go as far to say the story although somewhat simple, is not bad... not perfect, not great, but not bad as well... And I agree... too much emphasis on Megan Fox physical attributes... a little is alright, but way too much... dilutes the story... I watched it last night on our 47" LCD TV, and it was simply awesome!

まず前作との比較。 前作は、１時間半で済みそうなストーリーを約２時間半に引き伸ばしていたため、激しい睡魔が襲い拷問状態でした。 しかし今回は、内容が盛りだくさんで、飽きずに見られる映画に仕上がってます。 前作のように時間をかけて設定を説明する必要がなかったことや、登場するトランスフォーマーの種類、アクションが増え、娯楽性が増した事が大きいでしょうし、 ストーリーもちゃんと練られており、印象に残るようなシーン、熱い展開が多かったと思います。 前作の酷さが嘘のようにしっかり映画になっていました。 とにかくこの映画の良さは、壮大で派手で盛りだくさん。これに尽きます。 そこらの映画だったら最後のクライマックスに持ってこられそうな壮絶なアクションが何度も繰り広げられ、 どんだけ金と労力があったらこんな映画が作れるんだ・・・・と唖然とさせられる凄さ。 ＣＧばかりに頼らず、本当に爆発や危険なアクションを実写で撮影する気合が確かな結果を生んでいると思います。 それに、次々に襲い来るピンチを潜り抜けながら世界を駆け巡るストーリーは冒険的でワクワクせずにはいられないでしょう。 ギャグやお色気も多彩で、笑いながら楽しめる映画でもあります。（というかすでにコメディの域。） 目立った欠点を述べれば、終盤が近くなるとさすがに無理やり引き延ばそうとしてる感があり、飽きてくる可能性があることぐらい。 ただ前提として、脚本やメッセージ性、キャラクター性に焦点を当てて真面目に映画を見る人にはお勧めできません。 あえて批判しませんでしたが、この映画にそういう要素は皆無です。 本当はそういうものには星１つ、２つ付けるのが正しいのかもしれませんが、間違いなく他の映画を凌駕するスケールと迫力がそれを吹き飛ばしてしまいます。 細かいことは気にせず、ロボットがバトルしまくる映像を楽しもうという姿勢で映画を見られる人のための映画だと思います。 特に、男子学生にとっては下手な映画より意義ある作品かもしれません。 本当に薄っぺらな映画。それが事実だとしても、現時点で最高レベルのＶＦＸを用いてこれほどの妥協のないアクションの連続と壮大なスケール、娯楽性を一本の映画に詰め込んでしまったことは映画史上かつてない事だし、「ザ・ロック」以降１０数年駄作を撮り続けてきたマイケル・ベイが、ついに覚醒したか！！と感じたのも事実。 ブルーレイとしても、画質、音質共にかなり高いレベルであり、ド派手な映像を楽しむのには申し分ないです。 何でもいいから刺激がほしい！！という人には、 手放しで、オススメです！！
