Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Trailer #2
Not to be outdone by G.I. Joe (although I doubt such a thing is possible), a new trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen also went online today over at Yahoo!. People have been chomping at the bit for this… there were even a bunch of special theatrical screenings held in major cities yesterday just to watch it. With all the hype you’d think this was going to be the best trailer ever cut in the history of movies. So yeah, call me crazy, but I just didn’t think it was all that mind-blowing.
The last Transformers 2 trailer was far more effective in terms of generating excitement, but I suppose you can’t give away all the action and destruction ahead of time. Here we also get a few character moments, some humour and some bits and pieces of the story as well. I do like the mystery of the symbols, and I hope that it will create some suspense and intrigue, but I have a feeling it may just be a 5 minute backdrop to the robot wrestling. Seeing Optimus Prime fighting with the blades was kind of cool… does anyone else get the feeling he’s going to die in this one? I’m already getting choked up. Anyway, I don’t know what else to say… you either want to love it or you want to hate it, and there’s not much middle ground. Check out the trailer below and sound off in the comments below. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theatres on June 24th.

It’s like Transformers 1 only stupider. The decided to make it a hybrid with The Mummy or National Treasure or somesuch? Wasn’t gigantic robots enough?
Idiocy.
Posted by Kurt on April 30th, 2009I agree; Optimus is going down (hopefully) hard. I am guessing that because the trailer reveals so few Autobots they will probably all be present (sans Optimus) and instrumental at the final fight.
The first trailer was better but that isn’t saying much.
Posted by alechs on May 1st, 2009The first Transformers film was cheesy but I will still be there to see this. Just not on opening weekend.
@1. Great film comparison.
At least Megan Fox is hot in the trailer:

Call me a sucker but I love this trailer. Like the first movie I will probably love it more than the actual film.
Posted by swarez on May 1st, 2009Fuck… I think this trailer has got me… i’m sorry but… I just think it looks so cool! I’m just a sucker for big blockbuster summer movies, I can’t hide it.
Posted by Drew on May 1st, 2009Mindless fun. Nothing wrong with that. Give your inner film snob a rest. I’m looking at you Jay.
Posted by Theman on May 1st, 2009i LOVE THAT JETFIRE IS OLDER!i wish soundwave an shockwave were shown, i mean its toys ,,,so u gotta have fun!
Posted by von duvois jacobs on May 1st, 2009I just hope that we get a 3rd film!peace!
I want to hate it. And I do. The first one sucked. This trailer is more of the same poorly done CGI action, awful human characters and more of John Turturro soiling his good name. Pass.
Posted by Nate on May 1st, 2009I’ll pass. I tried hard to like at least a couple of scenes….the used car lot and Ms. Fox working on the car as the only highlights.
Posted by Tomas on May 2nd, 2009Is that Linkin Park’s new song in the first part of the trailer?
Posted by Mark on May 2nd, 2009SAAAAAAAAMM!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOPTIMUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!!!
hah, so cheesy. Should be an entertaining enough popcorn flick though.
Posted by Alex R. Cronk-Young on May 3rd, 2009“This trailer is more of the same poorly done CGI action,”
Are you on some kind of super crack?
Posted by swarez on May 3rd, 2009I’m with Nate. Combined, the choreography and character designs in Transformers were so poor that the action was incomprehensible, making it the only film I’ve seen in the past five years that I couldn’t watch all the way through. Pure shit.
Posted by Wintle on May 3rd, 2009This looks great, maybe not th ebest story line ever, but as a action flick fantastic. Also witht he score being done by Linkin Park, even fucking better!
Posted by AuUXero on May 3rd, 2009What are all you talking about? The first transformers was awesome, and this one looks even better. I’m kinda iffy on the symbols, but this one still looks bad ass!!! plus megan fox is in it and she’s just…GRRRRR!
Posted by Rick on May 4th, 2009Only good thing i liked was Linkin Park’s new instrumental at the beginning
Posted by Evan on May 4th, 2009OOOOOOPPPPPPPPTIIIIIIMMMMMUSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie is going to be the best movie in the history of best movies!!! Optimus Prime is soooo hot!!! If he dies, I am going to be so sad, heartbroken, and thoroughly p-ed off at the same time. All I’m sayin’ is that Optimus Prime better not die, or I will come after Steven Spielburg.
GO TRANSFORMERS!!!!!! 4-EVER!!!! THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by OptimusLover on May 4th, 2009WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Posted by Uchiha02 on May 5th, 2009Wow some of you guys don’t know what your talking about, the Big robot at the end is Decepticons joint together to form one Transformer, Yo this move and I’ll agree with the person that shouted out Optimus lol but this movie going to get MAD money…

Posted by Gamble on May 5th, 2009Mega Tron
That big one that joins together that makes one big Decepticon is going to be Devastator.

Posted by smith on May 6th, 2009English, motherfucker, do you speak it?
Posted by Matt Gamble on May 6th, 2009Smith still spent more time on his post then Micheal Bay did on this film’s script!
There is a great interview in this months Creative Screenwriting with the writers of Fallen. They basically rushed to get an outline together before the writers strike SO BAY COULD GO OFF AND START SHOOTING THE ACTION SCENES then came back later and polished the story. The writers talk in the interview about how Bay is very strong in “honoring” the agreed plot points established early in the process. More evidence this guy is all about action and could give a f*ck about a decent story or dialogue. What a hack!
Posted by rus in chicago on May 7th, 2009wow! im not gonna lie….it’s kinda hot!… i kno people r already complaining about it, but lets face da facts there really isnt any good action movies being released lately well besides G.I Joe…so i gotta say ima see it…b side its TRANSFORMERS PEOPLES!….
