Bad Boys 2: One of the most amoral movies ever made.
Why? What was so morally wrong about Bad Boys 2? I just thought it was funny(except for that “woo-sah” garbage) and had good action. That’s all I wanted from it, and that’s what I got.

Well, its been a while since I saw it but two things come to mind
I did not care for the throwing the body bags.
In the final car chase (was it in Cube?) they drove through a bunch of peoples homes without seeming a care about the lives they might be ruining.
I didn’t find either of these things amusing at all.
honestly the latest incarnations of Megatron have been stronger than prime. I know these newer transformers cartoons suck donkey balls but they have made Megatron some unstoppable bad ass.
Also technically megatron did survive the final fight between him and prime in the cartoon movie. Prime died shortly after their confrontation but megatron lived all the way up until his encounter with unicron.
I never watched the cartoons when i was younger (they were before my time). I thought the action was pretty awesome. Starscream is definitely the coolest.
Megatron= To Mega Therion
Transformers were my hands-down favorite growing up, so I was pretty much expecting to love whatever they did and plan to see it at least twice.
Ah well. An entertaining movie don’t get me wrong, but I thought it mostly dragged along and never really got going until the Decepticons finally mobilized. And on that note, Barricade looked so clean and Starscream might have stolen the show.

Before I reply the Transforemers stuff, how the hell do you go from “En Sabur” to “Pootie Tang”. Did you get demoted??
Anyway, about Megatron and Prime’s battle in the 86 movie. Megatron was the first one to crash that spaceship, first to crash autobot city, and stayed there for the entire battle.
Optimus Prime showed up hours later. Prime was fresh and ready to go. Megatron spent all day killing autobots and still put up a good fight against Prime.
As far as dying, Prime got fucked up. Impaled by large shrapnel, then you took 4 gunshots to the wound and then one to the face.

Yeah but Prime single handedly wiped out half of the Decepticons, and as I recall the mortal wound was a cheap shot that Megatron got in after he surrendered. I may be wrong, I haven’t watched the cartoon movie in like ten years. But they fought in almost every episode of the cartoon, and Prime mopped the floor with Megatron everytime.
They were obviously setting up a franchise with this movie, so we’ll get a re-match.
Giant robots destroying shit is awesome. That is pretty much my review.
Biggest Tuesday in movie history!
Biggest Non-Sequel Wednesday in movie history!

Take that to the BAYnk

Bingo. They were pretty much equals in the original but Prime almost always edged out Megatron in battle. I watched the 86 cartoon movie on youtube after watching the new movie. Then I reflected on how big of a dork I am. Then I starting thinking about who would win in a fight between Optimus and Voltron.

What’s funny is how surprised people are that Michael Bay made a good movie. The Funniest quote I read was said something like “The robots are better actors then the cast of Armageddon and it may be more historically accurate then Pearl Harbor”.

Seems like two vagina-esque reasons for not liking a movie.
The body bags were thrown by the bad guys. I don’t see how that’s worse than the bad guys killing people…?
Those “homes” were drug shacks, so the only people who’s lives were potentially ruined were drug dealers.
I saw the movie last night and wasn’t a fan of it. The negatives: I didn’t like the how the Transformers looked, the action was too cluttered and I had a hard time figuring out who was punching who, the comedy was extremely cheesy and over the top (Bumblebee taking a piss on the agent), Optimus looked weak, the finish was very anti-climatic, and too many humans.
Those were some of my main problems with the film. Granted, it was a good looking film but that doesn’t make up for my dislikes plus every movie doesn’t need a love story. What did that add to the film? Absolutely nothing except for a good looking girl which isn’t needed to get people to see it. I had very low expectations going in and even those weren’t met. I’m glad the rest of you enjoyed the film. I really wanted to like it.

LOL. As campy as the original concept for this was, I am at a loss when people claim any of the comedy in this movie was “cheesy” (have any of you actually watched that cartoon lately instead of just going off of nostalgia?). It makes me wonder what you expected and how you would have done differently.
I am of the solid opinion that even if Bay had rolled them out looking JUST like the fucking cartoons, someone would have a complaint about how they looked.
As far as the humans involved, this movie would have sucked ass if they had approached it as if the entire human race barely noticed them. Even in the cartoon they fought the military on a regular basis. We were just too young to understand what that meant.
AWESOME movie. Industrial Light and Magic really put there “drawls” in this one.
The actors turned in some damn fine performances as well. I cracked up when Jazz said “how’s it hangin’ little bitches?” Damn shame he had to die…Shea Lebeof (sp?) did a damn good job as well as the rest of the supporting cast.
I only wish they showed more transformers, i.e. Hot Rod (he would’ve been perfect, hell they could’ve made him a Corvette), Blur, Dinobots, etc. Probably just wishful thinking since I know it must have cost a FORTUNE to CGI the transformers they did have in. Guess that’s what a sequel is for…
My only gripe is the ending was kinda anti-climatic, he just pops in the “all spark” and it’s all over. Although I would’ve been pissed if Prime died, his first death scarred me as a child.
P.S. Was it just me or did anyone else find the concept of the “all spark” making transformers out of mundane, everyday electronics fucking awesome?
Cool movie, but I was disappointed that Cybertron was destroyed. My favorite episodes took place there and I was hoping the sequel would also. Too bad there weren’t any of Soundwave’s minions either. Ravage, laserbeak and rumble were some of my favs. I guess you can’t have a transforming CD, and an MP3 would be worse.
Also if the Transformers can fly threw space, where its almost absolute zero, how does a little liquid nitrogen stop them? And don’t you think its too much of a coincidence that the “all spark” hit earth when there so many other stars and planets that are immensely bigger?
Kinda puts a dent in the plot, but hey, the effects were awesome. Bay probably thought the “Energon Cube” thing wouldn’t cut it.

I remember the original cartoon very well. Giant robots changing into vehicles is a huge joke in and of itself.
Yet in the film, it was bad joke after bad joke and the way that they portrayed the Autobots made them look like clutzy, idiotic kids. Also it’s extremely funny that robots bigger than a house can hide in the yard from the parents. I’m talking about the scene when the kid was at his house looking for the glasses.
The original cartoon had it’s share of bad jokes but it wasn’t one after another. It seemed like this movie was trying to be more of an action/comedy. I thought the way they did the humor in X-Men was fine. They would place a joke here and there. They weren’t trying to center the movie around the humor and that’s what I thought they did with Transformers.
I would have made the film with the same kind of pacing and theme as X-Men. You didn’t have to wait forever to see the mutants, they had a great blend of action, comedy, drama and you could clearly see and understand the action going on in each scene.
I’ll agree that someone would bitch no matter what the Transformers looked like. I have my own preference for their appearance. I enjoy how they are drawn in the comics nowadays. So essentially it is a lose/lose situation but I’m still entitled to my opinion.
I’m not saying that the humans needed to be completely oblivious to the Transformers or that the military didn’t need to be involved. The secondary plots were unnecessary. The love story, the soldier trying to get home to his family, the kid’s relationship with his parents, etc.
I believe that you needed 1 or 2 humans to have a strong interaction with the Transformers but other than that, the humans could have been collateral damage as far as I’m concerned. I felt that was a strong reason why Alien Vs Predator was bad. I didn’t care about the human’s personal problems.
I just wanted to see some carnage. I would watch a different movie if I wanted a love story or human drama.
This movie should have been centered around the Transformers, not the humans.

Also, does anyone know what the movie is that they are playing in the trailers for Transformers. Its the one where people are at a party and some guy is leaving for Japan, and then things just start blowing up and they hear a “Creatures voice”? I would love to see what movie it is. I thought the release date was Jan 18, but cant find anything to match that for that date[/quote]
It was a teaser for JJ Abrams’ new Godzilla movie.
And for the record, Transformers rocked – a near flawless movie. I’m SO glad they didn’t cater to the “kids” too much. The action was gritty and realistic. The humor was natural and not forced. I needed this after the immense letdown known as Spiderman 3.
