Now Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, as I know, was not entirely well-received upon making its debut back in June 2009. Although it brought in over $836 million worldwide on a $200 million budget, it was highly-criticized for mostly the over-the-top "unfunny" humor. Hence why this movie won three Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Director (Michael Bay), Worst Screenplay, and Worst Picture of the Year. To me, I thought it was completely overwhelming (particularly the DISTURBING death scene of Optimus Prime!) and should not be viewed many times. But for the action scenes (my favorite has always been the Shanghai opening scene), I'd be glad to see them again and again just for entertainment during my free time! This poor outcome is due to the 2007-2008 Writers' Strike that immediately rushed the movie production by creating a script (written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Ehren Kruger) that might need a little improvement before it would be turned in. Perhaps they could next time do at least is maybe REWRITE the whole thing to prevent any more mistakes that they might encounter.
But now, I may have found a way to make Revenge of the Fallen not so much of a "painful Transformers movie experience" even with a lot of things that some may find uncomfortable. Whenever I see it on Blu-ray, I would skip the unfunny parts to COMPLETELY TONE DOWN the humor of the 2nd TF film by fast-forwarding with the remote control. Henceforth, the "Fan Director's Cut Edition."
The parts that I would cut out from the movie are:
- Mojo and Frankie "humping" (shown twice)
- The Witwicky parents involving Judy complaining during the Kitchenbot scene, Judy going crazy when eating a drug-laced brownie, and the mime appearing out of nowhere while Judy digs into an escargot ("It's nasty")
- Leo dancing… WORKS BETTER IN A COMEDY MOVIE OTHER THAN THIS!
- Alice attacking Sam, Mikaela and Leo in the library while having a very bizarre conversation… most PAINFUL scene to watch in the entire TF movie sequel!
- Sam talking nonsense before "the Doctor" could cut through his head to extract the brain
- Yakov and his AWFUL-looking crooked teeth (no offense)!
- Simmons showing his thong on his exposed buttocks (UGH!) when changing his pants
- Leo and Simmons dispatching the security guards at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum; especially the bathroom scene where Leo tased the security guard and himself (LOL)!
- Leo saying how "beautiful" Mikaela looked when landing on him before mentioning that she is "crushing his testicles"
- Simmons saying "I am directly below… enemy scrotum!" which has Devastator shaking his wrecking balls (pretend that they were NEVER THERE above his crotch!) while digging out the top part of the Great Pyramid of Giza
So I hope that all of you Transformers fans and my friends (who may be aware of the TF films) agree with my idea of how to make ROTF a less-painful TF movie experience! I wanted to prove to everyone that it does not deserve a lot of hate because of all of the things that made the TF movie franchise very interesting (like the ancient history of the Primes, how The Fallen motivated Megatron into forming the Decepticons, and the additional Autobots arriving to Earth sometime between TF 1 & 2)! I am glad that it did well at the box office compared to the first Transformers (my favorite movie of all time and the BEST in the TF movie series!) even if it's not a worthy sequel like we thought! I can only pray that this summer's Age of Extinction had better be much superior than TF 2 & 3! Besides, on the bright side… NO MORE SHIA LABEOUF! YES!
