I also don't get how a museum in the middle of downtown Washington DC opens out to a field of huge military svc aircraft (as mentioned earlier)

nor do I feel that the "twins" were at all appropriate in terms of their obvious stereotype of young, underserved, hip-hop youths of poor dentition.

I don't expect blockbusters to all be super-intelligent, a la The Matrix. But I look back on Bay's career and I remember The Rock-- full of big bangs, guns, and clever humor.

In the end, I just want the thing to make sense and I feel no suspension of disbelief, when a film takes everything for granted and makes no sense on the most simplest levels while trying to be complicated insofar as the plot in concerned.

I was disappointed. It was as if no one qualified read the script for obvious errors in continuity and feasibility before people started filming...

I really didn't enjoy this movie, and while the following might spoil it for those who have not seen it, but here goes:


What was with the check point and the oddly strereotyped little Egyptian man? More than being mildly offensive, it was a waste of time. What do I mean?

What happened to "The Twins"? Did Devastator eat them? It looked like they were doing fairly well against the beast. I bet there woulda been time to see the footage that ended up on the cutting room floor if that check-point scene were removed.

What was with the railgun? If it was powerful enough to take out Devastator (which was AWESOME to watch) then why not use it on the trilithium wannabe weapon?

Since when did energon require the depletion of the Sun? I know you're gonna change some things with an adaptation, but that was a bridge too far.

Jetfire's upgrades to Opitumus Prime were, ridiculous. Especially when Prime threw them off after the battle.

The Pyramids as made by Aliens is tired, stupid, and old. Using the Hoover dam in the first film worked (Yay human innovation!) but they should have taken a lesson from the Stargate and the last Indiana Jones film and left the Pyramids alone.

The Terminatrix sub-plot was a problem. I know Decepticons are meant to decieve, but even a robot hottie's gotta be a little heavy when sitting on your lap at a party, and kinda crushing when lying on top of you in bed. Add that to the fact that Bumblebee would have likely recognized a Decepticon in his passenger seat. My mind on this might have changed if director Michael Bay would have given her a suggestively placed Decepticon tattoo.

If you were an all-powerful race of machines whereby a single one of you ran amuck and created a 'key'(the matrix) to a super-weapon, why not fully eliminate/kill him and destroy the key, rather than use yourself as a tomb for it, leaving it in tact to be used another day? why not live and foster continue to foster respect for life amongst transformers through your example?

Especially because, in the end, using your bodies wasn't as effective as, say, stone or concrete because Bumblebee blew right through it and into your hardcore hiding place with one or two blasts.

Shai Lebouf in Autobot heaven? Being brought back to life by the "Primes"? Ridiculous.

RC really coulda been more present as one, memorable character. It's 2009. Why can't we have a strong, female, robot character? Her cynicism and quick wit in Transformers, The Movie, was sorely missed.

Let's not even introduce Soundwave! He's just up there, tapping into satellites, and hte Autobots didn't even thing communications couldn't be monitored?

Why did the Major stop the General from seeing Optimus Prime's face when they communicated via satellite in the beginning of the film? Was there some sorta security risk?

What was with the humping of Michaela's legs by her pet Decepticon...and what happened to him in the end?

The roomate character? A LAME attempt to put a Latino in there maybe. He was more annoying than anything close to comic relief.

And the asshole bureaucrat that would destroy the alliance with the Autobots because of political expediency was acting on orders directly from President Obama, who Bay decided to name outright? I don't think so-- Obama takes the long view in everything and is all about real alliances.

Sam was all fracked up in the head with all-spark knowledge. Then he wrote it on the dirt in front of Jetfire and then suddenly, he's cured of that affliction. OMG. OMG.

Sony needs to get off of the proprietary band-wagon. Add to their failures the memory stick, the mini-disc, and ugh. They're closed, so they stink!

The torrent files are probably gonna have unique keys locked into the user's id which is then locked into the client.

I REALLY hope they're smart enough to limit the upload bandwidth to something like 2kb. If they leave it unchecked, it'll be more reason for Comcast and cable-vision to cry bloody murder-- adding fuel to the fire of their war against network neutrality.
