Why is the stuff involving the Twins “racist”? Why, because they talk slang? So black folks are the only folks in urban America? I’m asking this AS a black man, myself! So, black people are the only ones who speak slang? What, so because the Twins aren’t fans of “reading”, as they put it, that’s a black thing too?

Sounds to me as if the people making these accusations are the ones guilty of the very things they’re accusing the movie-makers of, in this case. No one in the film said they were “talking black”. Their way of speaking had nothing to do with a COLOR.

Were some of you on the high horse when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were big? Were you moaning “racism” then, when they were running around yelling “KOWABUNGA DUDE!!! TOTALLY AWWWWESOME!”? Were you accusing THEM of unfairly racially stereotyping surfer white boys? But the moment someone goes “Yo, yo, yo”, suddenly it’s a race thing.

Not everyone who speaks that way is black, nor is everyone yelling “Totally rad!!!” white. Stop bringing color into it. Take the 5 seconds & remember that Transformers adapt to the various dialects of Earth. Which is why Ironhide & Sideswipe have BRITISH accents, why the little “Doctor” Decepticon had a German accent, and why Jazz from Movie 1 spoke urban slang (anyone remember that, or does that require too much thought?). They adapt to surroundings & dialects – not colors. No different from the Turtles, years ago.

respectfully ‘Sir Ink’, when men and women are finally treated equally in all arenas of the media, including film, and men’s bodies are used gratuitously with a focus on slow motion genatalia (big ones, not the miniscule) running at me on the screen for MY personal enjoyment as a woman, THEN and only then are you entitled to claim that women are sexist.

Until then, I can assume that Megan Fox’s slow motion chestathon was for the enjoyment and, dare I say it? ‘Titillation’ of a men only crowd. And if you DARE split hairs to say that gay women would enjoy it too, not only are you missing the whole ’sexist’ ( Men are from Mars, women are from Venus) complaint that I am aiming specifically at men who think its OK to see women, mothers and sisters treated like meat on screen.

The fact that this is being billed as a ‘children’s movie’ and that women are represented to young children that way, as ‘entertainment’ is offensive not only to me, but a few other men I know as well.

I agree. The mother in this movie was portrayed as a crazy white person and as a crazy white person, that offends me.

Sexist.

at the end of the first one optimus calls him his brother. wouldn’t that make megatron a prime?

I know . I’m just saying that now he transforms into a shiny car. Or at least that’s the way i look at it. i tend to do that with movies so that anything that doesn’t make sense makes sense to me.

Yeeeee! haaaaaa!

Too late we already have Obama.

Saw Transformers 2 last night. I thought it was a great action flick.
Exactly what I wanted from a movie with giant transforming robots. Kick-butt action. Where there parts that made my brother and I roll our eyes … of course But who cares, overall a lot of fun.

If I hear one more person exclaim that ‘the masses have spoken!’ I am going to start quoting Karl Marx and resurrect the goosestep to start invading the Rhineland!

I think that in five years time we won’t even remember this film. 10 more ‘blockbusters’ will have made a squillion dollars by then, and ‘the masses’ will be bleating about how wonderful the ‘Watching paint dry’ film ROCKED!!!!

Bumblebee was not shiny when he first met Sam.

Kind of. Just showing some of the problems.

For Pete’s sake … it’s E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T!

Some people, myself included, are entertained by mind-numbing action and sexploitation of women. My everyday work life is stressful enough, I don’t need a movie that is depressing, boring and/or slower than a drive I-95 during construction time. Not that is all I watch, but in the summer it is what I look forward to.

The first one was balanced with humor, action, and story.
this was full blown unbalanced

we won’t be reviewing Bruno but I can tell you Public Enemies was pretty good.

Vic

ill paste it underneath… you might want to re-check it just in case you think i’m lying and stuff but here you go…

“fair and balanced”…hilarious shiny… either way still happy that there will be more movies like this where you’ll have to sit through it… now thats “fair and balanced”. Still love the site though for those who like to jump and out and tell people to go to another site.

Only thing was that there was an error when i said jump and out when it was just supposed to be jump out but either way still love the site just get a kick out of you not enjoying transformers… can’t wait till the next movie you dislike that i like… for instance “bruno”…lol. Oh and public enemies was really good when are you going to put up that review…?

From what I’m reading on all these reviews/comments is that the film is a lol, robot fantasy in living CGI brilliance. Not to be taken seriously as anything more than the (Armageddon) movie of the summer.

Kahless are you kidding me with the “new paint clearcoat beef?”

Feel free to find another movie site to frequent, there are certainly enough to choose from out there if you think this one is so horrible.
