New Transformers Movie

[The Sneak]

As for "I don't understand half those words," I really don't see how you could say that. Seems pretty simple to understand what I said..[/b][/color]

What I'm saying is that I don't know who any of the robots are except Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron. This is because the movie makes no attempt to introduce the robots or give them personality. That's my second biggest complaint about the movie. I just didn't care. Most of the robots are nothing outside of "good robot" or "bad robot".

I just watched it. I liked it. 2.5 stars.

Get ready for a rant! Probably...no, definitly some spoilers ahead!


Why I can't stand this movie:

• Michael Bay can't do basic math. When the decepticons go underwater to revive Megatron, they military's like "oh no, 5 subjects diving fast!" (or something like that.) then one of the robots kills himself to help revive megatron, but when they are all coming back up, the military's like "oh no, 6 subjects comin up!" 5 -1 +1 = 5, not 6.
• Humping Dogs.
• Why is there a joke about nuts/balls every 2 minutes in this movie?
• It's too long.
• I don't want to watch a movie about Shia LeBeouf and his girlfriend, I want to watch a Transformers Movie.
• Sam was madly in love with her in the first movie, but now he can't admit it?
• The Movie would have been better without the Sam going to school part. Cut it out. All of it. Including the stupid hot popular girl robot, Sam's dumb unfunny roomate, and his parents and the pot brownies.
• BTW, it makes no sense that the robo girl is the popular girl at the school, because that means that the decepticons would have had to plant her there way before Sam arrived. 
• Speaking of wanting to watch Transformers... how can you have a Transformers movie with no real autobots in it? Optimus is dead the whole time. Apparently, Bumblebee has the weakest robo-bladder in the world and has to randomly disappear every 5 minutes.
• [/li]Bumblebee's voice was fixed in Transformers 1...OR WAS IT LOL?
• The Racist twins. I'm half joking about the racist part. I mean, they can't read, they have that gangsta attitute and appearance, etc... but even if you ignore that, they are easily the worst part of this movie. How many times can you watch a green robot with a gold tooth vocalize his want to pop caps in asses before it gets old? Once. I found nothing they said funny.
• The animation was great at the beginning, but started to totally suck near the end.
• In transformers 1, the allspark cube thing was the main focus of the story. it was the all-powerful thing that everybody wanted to get, but in this movie, it's referred to as merely a "trinket."
• [/li]This movie is about Sam trying to revive optimus. The decepticons revive megatron with a shard of the allspark. Sam decides to ignore this and pointlessly use his shard to revive jetfire, who also doesn't make any sense.
• Jetfire is appararently some bigshot decepticon legend, according to the RC Truck guy. Yet, he's like "lol yeah i changed sides." Any decepticon who switches sides is not going to go down in history as a legend. He would have forever been known as a traitor, and hated by the decepticons.
• The Fallen is Megatron's Master... but never even mentioned or hinted at in the first movie. Nothing Megatron does seems to be for him at all. It's as is Micahel Bay was like "oh crap what's this sequel gonna be about?"
• The Tomb of the Primes - what? Why would they kill themselves to hide the Matrix key thing on earth. Take it somewhere in space to some other planet and stay alive so you can kill the Fallen. Seriously? For the best of the transformers, these guys don't seem too bright.
• The military specifically says that the Autobots shared intel, but not technology with them. That railgun at the end seems really ridiculous because of this, and it's like they couldn't think of a real way to have the autobots defeat devastator, so they resorted to "just have the army blow it up with a huge gun."
• The whole military cover-up of the transformers: really? There's no way that the Transformers are still some big secret if they're having huge freaking battles all over the world. No.
• There's so much more...but I think you get my point. That's all I can remember off the top of my head for right now. In a nutshell, Less Humans, More actual Transformers instead of these new ones that I don't care about, and take out all the stupid jokes.

However, I did think Starscream was good in this movie. I liked Soundwave, too. John Turturro was pretty good, even though I felt his character was unnecessary. And that one decepticon made up of a million little balls was kinda cool.

I think Revenge of the Fallen had even less gigantic robot fight scenes than the first one.

And when it's been established that the human interaction is the least interesting part of the movie, that's not a good thing. I really didn't like any part of this movie that didn't involve fight scenes. They non-Transfomer characters just did not keep my attention at all, especially in comparison to the first movie (which wasn't an award-winning masterpiece by any means, but far more interesting than the sequel).

Saw it tonight. Definitely the same way I feel. Several of the robots were pretty cool, such as the little metal balls robot and the panther, but the non fight scene parts where I payed attention were times like when Megatron and Starscream were talking in space. You know, this 'exposition' they tell us about in school. To add another plothole...how did Megatron get inside that building where he trapped Sam to steal scan his brain without breaking a wall down?

Megatron and Starscream were talking in space

Okay, that I can forgive. That frequently happens in almost every single transformers series, especially the original.
