The twin cars were3 so stereotypical and racist to black people. The dialouge was meh...the action was GREAT!

I did fall asleep for about 20 minutes too.


It was ok, but it got lost in the storyline. And his girlfriend was all slutty in this one...her booty all out in the FIRST SCENE ...I dont know...didnt really get me going too much.

I just got home a little while ago.
I don't have anything new to add....


And yeah, the Twins...

He saw it today in IMAX (with hs new headphones on). He enjoyed it. I thought it was ok...the first one was better.

kpowers said:

Yes, IMAX 3D.

JustErin said:

aaaah, very smart, even cinemas are waaaaay too loud for little ears

ZombieKitten said:

For sure. Those things were a great investment.

yeah it sucked pretty hard. I wasn't expecting anything more than a good popcorn flick but it wasn't even that. It was just awful with no real entertainment at all

InsatiableCream said:

Wtf? It was entertaining enough with the action...it just had a lot of stupid scenes too.

"Human beings can't outrun explosions", indeed. I miss Siskel & Ebert.
Every year they'd devote a show to all the little nonsense in movies, such as the line quoted above. Another favourite: There's always a parking space available in the movies, wherever and whenever anyone needs to park, no matter how busy the street, or in front of which building.

That said, Michael Bay is the single worst overhyped hack in the biz. The first Transformers was everything you all are saying this one is: too long and too dumb, with plenty of edits that were not made but should have been.

I mean, the Shia-Meghan football captian back story...Who gives a shit? We've seen it a hundred times, and it was just wasting time.
And Anthony Anderson's character was in the film...why? Ah, who cares.

<--- Boycotting because of the two "black" robot characters. Not because of all the media fallout. I had my misgivings when I saw them bragging in ebonics about being illiterate.

No, thanks.

illimack said:[quote]I have to come out of lurk mode to say that this movie was the dumbest pile of shit ever. I grew up watching the transformers so I was anxiously awaiting this movie....(I even took off a day from work to see this shit). I need to whoop my own ass.

My complaints (spolier warning)....

1. How you gonna give Soundwave 5 minutes of screen time? Soundwave was in every damn episode, yet Michael Bay continues to ignore him.... yet he puts those idiotic ghetto twins, who didn't even exits in the series, in the whole damn movie.

2.Speaking of the idiotic ghetto twins, what is their purpose? Didn't Michael Bay get the memo from George Lucas about the equally idiotic JarJar Binks? Do we really need 2 jive talking transformers, one which had gold teeth? Who were they supposed to appeal to? I'm begining to think Bay has a problem with Black folks. He killed of Jazz, didn't bring him back, and then creates two obvious bafoon, stepin/fetchit type characters????? WTF????

3. Why do the autobots look like they did in the cartoons, but the deceptacons just all look grey? Starscream was red, Soundwave was blue, etc. All the deceptagons just look a boring dull grey and you can't really tell who they are unless they are talking?

4. What is the purpose of the chic/transformer that seduces Sam? That shit could have been cut. What was the purpose of the little thing humping the girlfriends leg and that old ass transformer? That entire story line should have been edited out.

Exactly. Why were the parents kidnapped if they weren't going to leverage them? On the very first day at school dude skips his webcam date and is making out with another chick. We already didn't buy him hooking up with Meghan Fox in the first place. Speaking of that other chick, it would have been nice to learn something about her. I don't remember any transformers being able to synthesize human skin.

I didn't expect a plot so these things didn't bother me as much as they normally would with a movie. My major beef is not being able to differentiate between Megatron, Starscream, or any other decepticon. C'mon!

Sorry, sis!

I figure I can't justify PAYING to be insulted.

Yes!
I thought it was me because I wasn't into the cartoon.

ThreadBare said:

That's okay.

JustErin said:

i thought the action scenes were poorly shot

InsatiableCream said:

I thought that about the first one. It all seemed a jumble of CGI metal.

ThreadBare said:

This one is fast and choppy too but it's still entertaining.

You know what, I didn't even hate Transformers last night! Those twins were highly offensive and whatsername looked like she keeps secretly tucking into fish and chips between takes, ewww!! AND the part where they step out of the Smithsonian in VA, and into the boneyard in AZ also a full stretch of artistic licence, but overall it was entertaining enough
(my facebook review )

Why would anyone go to Transformers 2 expecting to see Citizen Cane with robots?

I just watch them for fight scenes and hope they include enough elements that make me care if the characters live or die.

there were some hilarious off-beat things in it

the astronomy professor and his apple

I actually enjoyed it.

Sure, the jive-talking robots were annoying and the scene where the little robot humped the girl's leg was just too silly, but I enjoyed the rest of it, just like I liked The Phantom Menace despite Jar Jar Binks.

I thought the photography and the special effects were nice. And the roommate and John Turturro were fun.

And I like Shia LeBeouf. I'd suck him.

Did you notice that when the evil robot had him pinned down, you could practically see his thing squirming about in his pants?

If you look up Hot babe in the dictionary you find a picture of Megan Fox waving at you

I still have no desire to see this film my son who is 12 now didn't want to see the first one and this one hasn't even registered with him

so i can't work out what the target audience is meant to be

Her pic would also be in the entry for "excessive plastic surgery".

JustErin said:

I agree with this

JustErin said:

maybe 'excessive Angelina Jolie wanna be' but plastic surgery??

endymion said:

Believe me, I think she is gorgeous but chin, lips, nose and boobs have all been altered. It's crazy how different she looks from 4 years ago.
