I think I can come up with ten, no fifteen reasons why.

SPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERS
1. Ok, there’s a Robot Heaven now?
2. “I am standing directly beneath the enemy’s scrotum.”
3. Skids and Mudflaps - If you don’t accept that they are completely racist caricatures, you can at least admit that they are annoying as hell.
4. The mini robot humping Megan Fox’s leg. Megan looks down affectionately.
5. John Turturro’s bare buttocks.
6. The Decepticon is old so he needs an Transformer cane.
7. The Beef’s mom freaking out on pot brownies and jumping on some random kid for no reason.
8. Why is it that the robots have such foul mouths and talk in different stereotypically ethnic accents if they’re from outer space?
9. Why does the roommate have to come along? Oh yeah, because with Skids, Mudflaps, John Turturro, and the mini-Decepticon, there isn’t enough comic relief in this movie.
10. Why did we need to get a shot of the dogs boning at the beginning?
11. Soundwave attaches itself to a satellite. The humans then begin to tell every single one of their military secrets as if they were waiting for it.
12. They taser the roommate to shut him up in Egypt. Two minutes later, the car pulls over and he steps out, totally ok and not preturbed at all about the tasing.
13. A piece of the All Spark was used to revive Megatron, why couldn’t the piece that Sam had be used on Optimus? Why did we need to get the Matrix to do it?
14. Speaking of the All-Spark, why are the symbols that Sam gets and that the Decepticons need to find the Fallen only located on Sam’s piece of the All-Spark and not on the one that the Decepticons steal from the military?
15. Michael Bay got all up in arms earlier this year that there was giant robots in McG’s Terminator film. What does Michael Bay have in his film? Oh yeah, a robot that looks like a human.

No offense to those who liked this, but I’m not one to settle for the “Hey, it had giant robots fighting so I was happy. Turn your brain off.” argument. There are plenty of blockbusters that have had a great script attached to it. Hello, Dark Knight? Whatever happened to that quality of blockbuster? I didn’t hear from the audience “Hey, it had Batman and the Joker. It was good enough for me. Turn your brain off.”

Sorry. Rant over. lol

It’s funny, because I liked the move. thought it was too long but still really enjoyed learning the mythology behind the Transformers, since I didn’t watch a whole lot of it as a kid. Also, we saw it at midnight so we didn’t read any reviews beforehand and went in 100% unbias. I wonder if those played any factors at all. I don’t love every movie I see or even like every movie I see, but I did enjoy Transformers 2 a lot. For any of you reading this, why didn’t everyone seem to like it? Like, specifically?

This movie was complete garbage. I’m ok with turning my brain off for a blockbuster, but you need to turn it off, extract it from your skull and chuck it down an alleyway to get any enjoyment out of this thing. Poorly paced, over bloated, and a script written by a third grader make this blockbuster an insult to movies in general. I hope the folks that paid extra for IMAX enjoyed that extreme close-up of John Turturro’s pimply ass. I hope I didn’t spoil that gem of a moment for anyone.

Don’t see this movie.

so i really should have done a better job proofreading my review, it’s called the allspark, not the ultraspark

i actually did not like the movie. i thought it was entirely too long for what it was. and suprisingly, it was very boring. i actually fell asleep during one of the bigger action scenes. it will make money but i do think michael bay NEEDS a failure so a studio will ring him in so he can make better, more efficent movies.

Ok,

The credits started to roll, i turned to my friend and said. “That was sooo Stupid!, But i love it!!” I like and hated it at the same time. But really, are you going to expect much out of story or plot out of this? No, you’re going to see action with eye candy. It’s not suppose to win an oscar or be on the critic’s top ten movie lists of all time. It’s suppose to be a summer blockbuster with all the explosions, hot girls, fast cars, and robots. It’s the formula and if you’re going into this movie with having it be another ‘Forest Gump’ Masterpiece, then you will be disappointed. Just expect to have your senses overloaded and you’d better wear a big adult diaper to because Transformer’s isn’t suppose to make any sense, it’s suppose to be a summer blockbuster.

Go see it for that.
