Shia LaPoof and his similarly gay room mate. How many times in one movie do the male characters have to man up and grow some sack? Why is it impossible for Hollywood to cast strong male lead characters that give the audience something to aspire towards? The 80’s did it with Arnold and Sylvester, we need to get something going in the 2000’s.
I think Jason Strathom is like the only current actor I can think of as being a badass, strong male role in pretty much every movie I’ve seen him in.[/quote]
It’s now “in” for the good guy to be a beta male type. Most of the time if there is a cocky Alpha type personality he is the bad guy these days.
Statham being one of the few exceptions. And RDJ as Tony Stark.
Just got back from the theater, I thought Transformers was great. I went in there expecting explosions, robots and Megan Fox. That’s exactly what I got, that’s all I got.
My number one complaint was the length. I was getting bored.
Secondly, the mother. Fuck she annoys me.
This movie had good special effects, but otherwise, was pretty shitty. Story was mediocre and the acting was more suited for a comedy most of the time, especially the parents.
I really hated that botox look on Megan Fox…if she wanted to make an improvement she should have gotten a boob job like all the actresses. At the very least she could have avoided the lip gloss…
I do absolutely love brunettes with blue eyes though…I think her new lips took her looks down a notch…
The main scene that bugged me was when they first showed the fallen, it could have been a scene from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers…even the voice sounded just like the characters on that show. It seemed cheesy…
It also seemed silly that the other primes gave their life to protect the matrix thing…Why couldn’t they destroy it or something? Seemed like a silly reason to die.
Overall I loved the movie! Optimus Prime is so awesome, I loved when he pulled out his sword and was dicing fools like butta! I was not happy when he got killed, even though I knew they’d bring him back by the end.
Magic fucking dust? Seriously, how silly. Chosen one? Bay found a way to write himself into a corner by focusing on endless fight after fight. I understand its a giant robot movie, but at least tighten the script up like the first movie (which I enjoyed much more)
Also, why did the Autobots get such little screen time? Besides the seriously annoying ghetto twins, where were the strong Autobot characters?
I found myself looking at my watch during the endless string of run, shoot, scream, run, shoot, scream scenes.
Watched 1/2 of it last night before the copy’s audio got messed up. Pretty decent. Not as good as the first, and the cussing robots was pretty funny, but seemed unnecessary.
The mother didn’t really annoy me that much as others on here, neither did the twin autobots.
The geography in this movie had me scratching my head too, and was a bit put off by the DeceptiHottie. What really got me was Jetfire. He was an SR-71 Blackbird which was operational from 1966 - 1998. He couldn’t have been in the museum that long, could he?

Botox? You mean collagen? Botox isn’t usually used on lips. It’s actually been reported she had a boob job, and she just didn’t get em so big. I applaud her restraint, but wish she had the same restraint at the tattoo parlor. Oh well, it’s her body.
First, That crotch rocket that megen fox was riding around on sounded like a 2 stroke and they dont make 2 strokes for the street.What do they want me beleive that Mekala was riding around on a rc211v.

It is an Aprilia RS125, a 2 stroke track legal bike released in the US, not street legal. So the sounds were right, she just shouldn’t have had it on the streets.
I liked this one okay, it was better in some senses than the first, but weaker than others.
-The action was better than in the first one. In #1 when the transformers were fighting each other it was just a big confusing tangle then jump cut. In #2 you could actually tell who was who, see the blow by blow, as if they had a real fight coreographer directing the action so you could enjoy it this time. Optimus prime actually ripped off some limbs, tore faces open. It was fucking sweet.
-The story was better in the first one, more clear and focused. The story in #2 sucked, they just kept throwing in random shit, first shards of the all spark, some “fallen” guy, doomsday machine, the matrix of leadership, one fucking thing after another with no direction.
-The parents were kind of amusing in the first one, in this one they were just fucking annoying and wouldn’t go away.
-Shia Lebouf dying and talking to Prime’s ancestors in heaven was sickening.
