    Whait, was that the Nostalgia Critic or Chester A. Bum in better duds?

    Edit: ok, nice ending.

    Edit 2: Mike, thank you.

    Edit 3: Damn, I got totally legit second comment and now I've been booted halfway down the page. Curse you angry movie dork, and may your seed be annihilated from the Earth.

    Edit Final: Thanks Mike, for restoring me to second spot.

    dam. i get through half of this thin thinking its bum review. so im about to comment about it. so i log in and now every one is sayin that. -.-

    STILL its funny. this shoulda been a bum review btw. :side:

    Not really. the NC's first review was in this format, but that later became the basis for the Bum Reviews. So, in theory, the BUM took the CRITIC's show.

    Doug if you really liked the movie that much do yourself a favor. DON'T WATCH SPOONY'S REVIEW!

    Wait, you mean there's actually lines in the movie?! I thought it was all mindless action with no story whatsoever.

    Oh wait, it was.

  • nostalgiafan127  - lol
    avatar

    LOL the ending makes perfect sence.

  • DeathsHead419  - So....
    avatar

    ...you liked it? And so the battle between those who adore it and those who wish this movie and those responsible be found guilty of crimes against humanity and hanged continues.

    Edit: or did he not like it? He did break character pointing out some of the massive holes. Hmm.

    Yes, that's because Bum Reviews was based off his first Nostalgia Critic.

    That was awesome, and brought me back to Cloverfield. I'll be honest, watching Optimus get stabbed and die, I thought of 'I died for your sins'/

    I wish there could be more of these kind of reviews, especially since I love Bum Reviews, but Transformers 2 was the best choice to do it on

    lmao

    Man, i love how Doug reviewed it
    straight to the fucking point
    5 stars

    I just could not lower my IQ enough to enjoy the movie, but more power to those who could.

  • Kurvos

    Your IQ level has nothing to do with your movie taste, dumbass.

  • Richard Wesker
    avatar

    Um, okay, I guess I just don't like shit movies then.

  • Dohguy
    avatar

    i feel ya Wesker, I tried liking it, attempted to go into Transformer/ Michael Bay fan mode, and I just couldn't do it.
    Its shame that its making so much bank right now. :dry:

  • Richard Wesker

    Yeah, that's all I'm trying to say. If you can get yourself into that mindset where you're just going in to see some robots fighting each other and some explosions, then you're all set. It doesn't take much effort on the part of the viewer for something like that.

    But, for 2 and a half hours? Then, I think you need a well-told story. I actually liked the first movie partly because it told its story well enough, and I thought it was fun despite its flaws. Transformers 2 seems to go on forever, though, and its story is all over the place.

    The mentality that they had while making this one seemed to be "if it worked a few times in the first movie, it will work even better 30 times here." In the first film we had maybe 5 or 6 "comedy relief" characters. This film has easily twice that amount, and they're not funny, at least not to me. The offensive Twins in particular seem to be characters aimed at the kids, so one can explain away their goofiness in that fashion. However, if this movie is for kids, then why do we get scenes like John Turturro's junk in our face or Devastator's nutsack, along with Wheelie humping Mikaela's leg and Sam about to get busy in bed with Alice? Speaking of Alice, if Decepticons can disguise themselves as humans, why not just take over the human race via mass infiltration with Alice-type bots? This is just one of the film's several plotholes that never gets explained.

    Don't get me wrong, there are some decent parts. I liked very much how Megatron and Starscream's relationship is more defined in this one. Their scenes together are actually pretty good, and we needed more stuff like that. The battle scene in the forest? Just awesome. Shame that it ends so quickly. The effects, needless to say, are still a wonder to behold, as well.

    To end, if people like it, fine. If Doug liked it despite its flaws, great. I just couldn't invest myself in it. I'm happy for people who could, though.

    Is it odd to feel nostalgic for vintage Nostalgia Critic after this video? :lol:

    Love the Dr. Claw impression and that ending. Hee! :silly:

  • 0dd1
    avatar

    Ah, I saw the movie. For the most part, I had pretty much the same reaction. And the climax made me think of that movie with the 20 minute unending fight scene.

    Everybody now!! "FIGHTING IN THE DESERT!!" :woohoo:

  • No Limit
    avatar

    lol, Classic Nostalgia Critic...or Bum. Meh, whatever. XD

    Did Doug really like it? O_o

  • Rockerdude324  - OMG
    avatar

    This movies sucked that robot's brass balls. :X

  • MyMorphine

    This review wins. Really hard.
    The movie also wins. Not quite so hard.

  • Erinaceus  - Hmmmm...
    avatar

    Judging by Spoony's review and the fact that Roger Ebert's review was his most scathing since "North", I'm willing to bet N.C. didn't actually like Transformers 2, and was just paying homage to his first review by going all Bum over it.

    But who am I to presume what the Nostalgia Critic's opinions are? Maybe he liked it, maybe he didn't. In either case, the review was a funny one, as usual, N.C.

  • PIEGUYRULZ  - You should go see it
    avatar

    If you overanalize everything about the movie (sorry spoony I like ya but I gotta disagree and I have always hated Ebert) then of course you will dislike it but if you just go along with the movie then you will be rewarded with a lot of laughsm some solid action sceanes and some awesome robot scenes. But if you think too much about the plot you will probibly hate this movie but I mean hey its giant robots fighting so what more could you want? The movie is unfortunantally way way too long though. So its your call but you really should go see it before you decide.

    and I cannot speak for Doug but I assume he has mixed fealings about it like myself because there is only so many plot holes you can just ignore.

  • SwedishSplashFest  - I agree 110%
    avatar

    When I watch movies,I just kick back, relaxe and enjoy the action, not thinking up things like plot holes or some other things going wrong. Then again, what did you guys expect from a Michael Bay flick? His movies have always been all about mindless action and poor plots, and isn't that what Transformers is about? A lot of robot VS robot action?

    But that does not mean I can take anything. If the movie is pure stupid, I'll hate it too.

    I can't really say anything about the movie yet, because I haven't seen it.

    Ok, that's enough.

    Hejdå! (Swedish for "Bye")

    Exactly. Too many people act as if the original show was pure literary genius, descended down from the heavens in a golden chariot.

  • NinjaWraith  - I would agree
    avatar

    Michael Bay gets some hard-on for explosions. Almost every one of his movies contain some orgy of military and explosions.

    Plot wise the film seemed lacking, but the action scenes were always impressive. :woohoo:

    avatar

    Wow, that review just made my entire week, You're the best! Nice throwback to your first appearance, loved every second of it. :woohoo:
    I loved the picture too, the first one made me a TF fan, the second just confirms why I'm a TF fan. :woohoo:

    That was awesome. Its like you were watching the movie through my eyes and reading my mind. The bum showing up at the end was hilarious. LOL

  • jnywest
    avatar

    This was great, but nothing like the 45 min epic Spoony Reveiw...

  • Chief
    avatar

    Yeah Spoony's review was awesome, but it's still nice to hear at least a little positivity. I still haven't seen the movie, and I don't really want to go into it feeling totally negative about it. I will remain cautious though.
    EDIT: Oh yeah, hilarious as always, Doug.

    Dude it was a total joke. He was actually trying to imply it as one of the most horrible films made.

    I was literally about to type that. Well more about how's Spoony's epic was better.
