Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is bookie’s favourite for worst film

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on March 3, 2010 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

We reported recently that Transformers Revenge of the Fallen has been nominated for the worst film of 2009 award in the anti-Oscars, the Razzies. It seems that Transformers 2 could well win the award too (despite in our opinion being much better than the first film) as the bookies have installed Transformers 2 as the favourite for the dishonour.

This seems very harsh when GI Joe is also nominated, and that film genuinely was awful.

Bookies Paddy Power have made Transformers Revenge of the Fallen the odds on favourite, at 11/10, to lift the Razzie for worst film. In total, ROF has been nominated for seven different awards.

Think about poor Sandra Bullock though, as she’s nominated for a Razzie for worst actress at the same time as she’s also nominated for an Oscar for best actress.

If you fancy a flutter on the worst film of last year, the odds at the moment are:

  • Transformers: 11/10
  • Land of the Lost: 11/8
  • GI Joe: 6/1
  • Old Dogs: 8/1
  • All About Steve: 12/1

Is Transformers Revenge of the Fallen the worst film of the year?

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on February 2, 2010 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen |

transformers2It hardly seems fair considering we thought it was much better than the first film, but Michael Bay’s Transformers sequel, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is up for an award – worst film of the year.

The Razzie Awards has shortlisted Transformers 2 for this ‘to be avoided’ award, in one of the movie’s seven nominations. Very unfair indeed.

Megan Fox has also been nominated for worst actress for her part as Michaela in the Transformers movie. Megan faces stiff competition from another Transformers actress, Julie White.

It’s not a good time for Marvel either as GI Joe has also been heavily nominated. Having seen GI Joe on a plane recently, I was hoping for the plane to crash so I could miss the end of the film!

The battle for Earth continues in the action-packed blockbuster, TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, coming to DVD and 3-disc Blu-ray on November 30 2009 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN delivers non-stop action and fun in an all-new adventure that the whole family can enjoy. Featuring out-of-this-world heroes in the form of the mighty Autobots and a malevolent and powerful villain known as The Fallen, the film boasts some of the most sensational – and complex – visual effects in film history.

In addition to audience favourites Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, the film’s human stars have returned to help save the world including Shia LaBeouf (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), Megan Fox (How to Lose Friends & Alienate People), Josh Duhamel (Las Vegas), Tyrese Gibson (Four Brothers) and John Turturro (The Good Shepherd).
The TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN 3-disc Blu-ray and 2-disc Special Edition DVD both feature over three hours of in-depth, immersive special features that let viewers further explore the world of the legendary ‘robots in disguise’.

Among the engrossing content is a multi-chapter documentary, including interviews with the cast and crew, that chronicles the entire making of the film, from development and design to filming in locations around the globe, working with the U.S. military, creating the groundbreaking visual effects and putting it all together to produce one of the biggest films of the year.

The discs also include an all-access featurette following renowned director Michael Bay through an entire day, a comprehensive exploration of the ‘confidential files’ on a dozen of the Transformers characters featured in the film, multi-angle breakdowns of some of the most sensational action sequences and much, much more.

The 3-disc Blu-ray and 2-disc Special Edition DVD packages will also feature augmented reality technology that will allow people to interact with a holographic image of Optimus Prime by using a webcam and a special website.

As an added bonus, the Blu-ray will include an exclusive interactive feature that gives viewers the ability to customise their own robot characters and get a glimpse at a rogue robot. Out of all the available permutations, one will unlock an exclusive interview with Michael Bay about his plans for the next adventure.

Written by Big Bot on August 10, 2009 | DVD,News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: ,

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 1 Disc DVD CoverPlay.com have posted the covers for the 1 and 2 disc editions of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on DVD.

As we have already announced, the DVD and Blu-ray sets will be released on 30th November in the UK. No dates for other countries have been announced so far but expect them to all be before the UK.

These same covers will also be used for the North American DVD editions.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Coming on 30th Novmber in UK

The first details on the DVD and Blu-ray release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have trickled out from Paramount Home Entertainment. Five different sets have been revealed for release on 30th November in the UK, so far.

There will be 3 DVD sets, a single disc package, probably with just the film, a 2 disc package, with all the special features, and a combo pack containing both films.

On blu-ray, there will be a 3 disc set, which will really be the one to get, as it will probably contain the most extra features, as well as the better visual and audio selection. The third disc is most likely a digital copy that studios like to include. Again, there will be a set containing both films.

Of course, this doesn’t include all the store exclusives or special variants that are common these days, so check back soon when we have confirmed details, including a look at the box art.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Enters Domestic Top 10

After another weekend haul at the box office, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has entered the all time domestic top 10.

$8.1 million over the weekend saw the film slip from 3rd to 6th with a 41% decline in revenue. The total did however bring the film up to $379,214,172 in it’s home market, just one million off Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and within distance of the magical $400 million barrier.

Another stat to keep you stat fans happy, despite reaching the top 10, Revenge of the Fallen isn’t  even in the top 80 when you take into account inflation.

SDCC 09: New IDW Transformers Comic Series

Transformers Nefarious SDCC 09It’s the San Diego Comic-Con 09 this week, so it would only seem logical for IDW Publishing to spill the beans on what is in store for the future of Transformers comics.

Transformers: Nefarious is a mini-series focusing on a new organization with ‘nefarious’ designs on the Transformers. Continuing on from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, there will also be more on Soundwave and Ravage.

The series is written by Simon Furman with art by Carlos Magno and will be out early next year.

In an interview with IGN, Simon talks about the series being self contained, how they aren’t entirely sure on the number of issues, how the series links into Revenge of the Fallen, and the possibility of Primus or Unicron appearing in the movie-verse.
