‘Transformers’ robots under fire
"Transformers 2" is getting criticized for new characters reflecting stereotypes that recall "Star Wars' " Jar Jar Binks controversy.www.hollywoodreporter.com
Revenge of the Fallen is racist as fuck.
It most certainly is. However, your notion that only a single poster on Era enjoyed the movie is, statistically speaking, most likely wildly wrong.
I never said it wasn't racist, I said it was a fun pop corn flick.‘Transformers’ robots under fire

Revenge of the Fallen is racist as fuck.
What?
Care to elaborate on your '…'s?
You said you could almost guarantee no one else on this board would like the film, I'm just pointing out that you are in fact wrong as I find it to be an enjoyable pop corn film.
I've no idea why you decided to bring the racism argument into it, I never questioned you on that at all.
Temple of Doom is super racist but still a fun popcorn flick. Not sure why you are dot dot dotting people. If they like the film they like the film.
I think the casting choice for Cletus is pretty bad. It seems like they're hiding a lot of the movie, the trailers don't really show that much except snippets. Not a complaint I'm kinda happy Sony isn't throwing shit out left right and centre but it kinda makes me suspect this is going to be a bad movie
The racism is stupidly pervasive and is one of the most notable elements of an otherwise poor popcorn film, alongside the sexism and American jingoism. You can't cape for Revenge for the Fallen without caping for Spongebob being an awful black stereotype and John Turturro pointing out Devastator's giant dangling nutsack, that's why so few people do it.
Even the general internet space knows Revenge of the Fallen isn't worth it, you honestly expect liberal-ass ResetEra to be different?
To at least drag this back on topic, I would never compare Venom or Venom 2 to it precisely because Transformers 2 has so many cards stacked against it in principle, though I'll also fully acknowledge I have no idea how so many people loved Venom as a mindless popcorn film. I honestly believe people just wanted a more accurate Venom to cleanse the palate from Topher Grace that badly considering how messy the movie otherwise.
Yeah I'm not the hugest fan of Harrelson as Carnage either, I like him as an actor but he just doesn't seem like a fit for this knockoff Hannibal take they're doing. Honestly when I think live-action Carnage the first thing I think of is Jackie Earle Haley's Rorschach from Watchmen. Carnage is basically a slasher villain, you need someone who can pull that kind of energy off.
Taken on it's own as a stupid fun movie the first Venom is barely passable -- this somehow looks worse. I'll still end up seeing it because I'm a big fan of Venom from the comics and I'll take what I can get.
As a building block for the cinematic universe Sony is trying to build... I don't see this helping much.

14 million views in one day and dislike ratio seems just fine. Was wondering why so many here hated it but this looks awesome. It's probably because I've always been a Carnage stan since that Spider-man game on the PS1(where Venom was also a comedic "bad guy") but he looks just fine here.
Bro we get it, the movie is shit, and Venom and its sequel will likely be shit as well. Doesn't mean people can't look forward to dumb fun. What are you trying to do in here?
That is probably my only exposure to carnage tbh. I liked him in it a lot from what I remember.
Yeah, and when people start defending a gross and racist film like Revenge of the Fallen, I can point out that fact too.
All this Venom love is encouraging that people can just appreciate goofiness and just something different in the superhero film realm. I wish this audience was there for Ghost Rider 2 and giving us more Neveldine/Taylor superhero movies!
Blade, Punisher, these types of Marvel films are more my jam.

I like the tacked on story that Riot was the jock of symbiotes
I had a point: a movie being popular doesn't mean it was good, which is what someone else claimed earlier. I then used Revenge of the Fallen as an example to counter that -- popular but unquestionably a poorly made film in just about every possible filmmaking metric while being hugely problematic on top of that.
I did not make it through the first movie, boredom took me, so I am not exactly hyped about a sequel. Hope it's good for those who are excited for it.
Early 2000s Marvel is the best Marvel
Woody could play this role in his sleep, but my first thought for Cletus was Walton Goggins
That said, he's too good for this dumb shit lol
It makes sense given that Hardy was hired before there was a director and a writer. I wouldn't be surprised if it was pitched to him like he basically got free-reign to make a lot of the creative decisions. It make sense that the film basically works on the level of whether Hardy's acting works for audiences or not.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Morbius was basically the same for Leto, basically a vehicle for the actor to ham it up with a comic premise loosely draped around it.
wait what?
and 900m world wide box office smh
I've been waiting all my life to see both venom and carnage on the big screen..
I CANNOT wait!
As long as this doesn't have another 40min opening slog, I'll be happy.
How Kasady gets "infected" is shit though.

Cletus only heard a few words from the sentence « We want to fuck Spider-Man up ! »
Damn straight
I don't mind comic ass movies but I really like these types of movies too. There is space for both styles.
LMAO at that gifI've been waiting all my life to see both venom and carnage on the big screen..

What fan event did you go to our of curiosity? Iirc, they've also showed a early screening of the new Ghostbusters.
A fan screening of the film in London - they said it is the first one globally. Hardy and Serkis were both there to talk about the film.
A bit weird that there was no NDA as there usually is, they only said no full reviews until the 30th lol.
Spill the beans anything interesting happen in it? Better then the first?
Saw one person say the mid-credits scene was quite good, can you spoil it for us? Maybe spoiler tag it just in case so people who come into this thread don't actually read up on it.
I haven't actually seen the first embarrassingly, but the person I went with said he felt it was weaker. There were a load of good action sequences though - happy to answer any specific questions.
Ok, but this is by far the most interesting thing in the film so bare that in mind/don't read if you hate spoilers.
yes, the end credit shows Eddie and Venom in a house on the beach having gone into hiding after defeating Carnage. Venom says he can show Eddie 1 second of what him and his kind have been through and does. Suddenly everything changes and a TV is on. It shows Tom Holland's spidey and Venom says 'I hate that guy' and licking the screen aggressively - cut to black. I guess Venom is officially in MCU and a film with him/spidey is next.
