Whats crazy about it is, as racy as it seemed it still seemed a little to kiddy for me.
I always need a good chuckle when I get home from work. Thanks for providing it this morning.
I am looking forward to seeing it, if for no other reason than the fox. (PK will be with me so I cant say anything then)
YMMV---IMO

Saw it yesterday. Yeah, it was long, but there weren't many moments that dragged on and on, so I wasn't thinking about how long it was while I was watching it.
I was surprised at how much dirtier the Transformer's mouths got than the first film, especially the twins. Not sure if I like it yet.
Mom freaking out about Sam going off to college went a bit long, could have done without her eating the special brownies too. Other than that, the college scenes served their purpose.
One little nit pick: If I had a girl as hot as Megan Fox waiting for me to get online, there's no way in hell I'd miss that.
Loved the extended and more brutal fight scenes between the bots. Prime was finally kicking [censored] like he should have in the first movie. They did a better job of showing the whole robots (zooming out) so it was easier to tell what was going on, and they talked a lot more than they did the first movie too, which was good. Felt more like the cartoon this time.
Devastator was cool too, especially when he was transforming.
All in all, I'd say they did a much better job than the first movie, which I enjoyed a lot in it's own right, so I was very satisfied with it. If they're gonna make a third movie, and Megan is in it again, they really need to give her something to do besides running and making pouty faces, though. Eye Candy can only take you so far.
8 out of 10
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
I have nothing clean to say, and I haven't even seen the movie.
I guess I'll reserve this spot for when it comes down to Fidel Land.

The screams from the haters, it's got a nice ring to it.
I guess every super hero needs his theme music .."
Spoilers. Big ones. Like mystery meat in the fridge.
So I just got back from watching the new Transformers movie. Let's say I was left unsatisfied.
Some of the things that stood out to me:
1) Holy [censored], that movie was long.
Seriously, it was only 6 minutes longer than the first one, but it sure felt a lot longer. It really got draggy.
2) Cool explosions.
If you wanted to see [censored] blow up, then it sure didn't disappoint. Boom boom pow.
Now, like any quality compliment sandwich, a negative or three...
3) Who the [censored] signed off on this script and served the cinematographer a never-ending stream of coke?
The script had some humor. Good. It was expected.
Why do we keep forcing a love story into this action movie? Yes, every little boy that likes to watch [censored] go boom also likes to look at Megan Fox's vast tracts of land, but my god, can we just have a 20 minute pr0n insert in the middle of the flick for an intermission instead of these puke-worthy scenes where the damsel in distress is required to say ridiculously dumb things and attempt to suffocate the lawlworthy dorky hero by way of tongue-to-trachea wrestling?
So my girlfriend went to see this with me. During one of the camera spins (that included gratuitous love pleadings between the hero and his humping post, she actually said, in the silent theater, "Great, now I can get dizzy WHILE I puke." I understand that it can look cool when the camera pans past action sequences, but some of that crap ranked up there with the on-the-spot newscasters whose cameramen bounce the camera while they're talking to give that real close, personal feeling to it. Come on, was this done by professionals who got paid or high school sophomores who just learned how to use a Steadycam?
4) Robots sure are weird...and racist...
The Autobots introduced two of the newest members of their team, Mudflap and Skids. They happen to be ghetto, constantly fighting, one has a gold tooth, they can't read, and they start out the movie as two parts of an ice cream truck that talks [censored]. Really? Wow. I sure am glad they didn't go with a Jar-Jar Binks type of character in this film.
Bumblebee's a muay thai fighter? He did a flying knee into the face of his opponent towards the end, and seemed to apparently specialize in the martial arts. They're way more effective than the gigantic [censored] guns he has strapped to each arm.
Sweet, they introduced a Corvette! He's...apparently going to be completely pointless in the movie. He got more facetime in car-form than he did in fighting form. Nice.
Audi's are bad guys? Got it.
Why the [censored] are the humans even going along with the robots at this point? Unless they bring the superbombs of DOOM, all they do is shoot these gigantic robots with the equivalent of peashooters. On the opening raid, they serve as nothing more than bodybags to make sure that we can tell who the really bad robots are because they're the ones stomping on all the poor humans who thought they could take down a WALKING CRANE with their wimpy machine guns. Before the crane came to life, those machine guns couldn't have knocked the DEAD crane over, so why the [censored] would they think they'd suddenly do the trick now that the crane has come to life and begun shooting you with a gun that shoots bullets the size of cars?
Speaking of bullets, the bullet-time on that one shot? You mean to tell me they're actually shooting giant bullets this whole time? Then, just out of curiosity, where are they keeping all these bullets when they're just cars/motorcycles/planes/construction equipment and OMG how the [censored] do you cover up the existence of these creatures when THERE ARE GIANT ROUNDS LEFT LAYING AROUND?!?!?
One line in the movie is, "Well, aircraft carriers don't just sink." No offense, I understand that our military is being stretched a little thin, but if you're finding out the carrier sank from the other ships in the convoy, how did nobody notice that the reason it sank was because it got hit by ten [censored] meteors the size of cars? I mean, we're worried about getting popped by a single intercontinental ballistic missile, and they missed seeing an entire Armageddon-inspired meteor shower?!?!?
Oh, and the Decepticons used a robot that looked like a pretty girl to get to Sam Witwicky? She then promptly turned into robot-Medusa as soon as 1 other person saw her? Were they trying to sneak up on him and not get noticed? They couldn't use any of the huge amount of micro-bots or just blow a bunch of [censored] up to get into his head? I mean, those were other ways they got everything else, why would they go the patient route out of the blue?
And now to finish with some nice things...
5) Wow, Michael Bay's cinematographer sure can focus on Megan Fox's breastesis.
Only shot the guy could hold still consistently was of the mountain range. Sheesh.
6) Apparently, Sam's mom sampled the greatest brownies ever.
Only pot that I've ever seen that induced hyperactivity and the desire to compete in athletic activities.
Anyway, anyone else see this and got commentary?
