The military are always the good guys in his movies because they pay for the placement.

This isn't "Saving Private Ryan" here, it's product placement.

Has nothing to do with my point.

I'd say the hate is meaningless given the money it's pulling in.

Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining for the family, but they tried to put in too much comic relief with the new auto bots. Think Jar-Jar Binks as it was that bad. My kids even got annoyed by the forced humor. It was very annoying in that respect, but the FX were phenomenal...

The first one was MUCH better, but the second one is a fun experience... it was worth the money to see it on the big screen, but don't expect the sequel to be better than the first one. It's not even close...

BTW, I won't reveal any spoiler, but it is totally set up for a third one...
Woooaaahhh...not even close. Jar-Jar was annoying from the first second he was on screen. These guys actually made you chuckle.

Guilty as charged. :D

The crowd was very receptive when I saw it. Of course, it was a late showing so it was nothing but immature teenagers (and one immature adult).

"that was funny"

You'd be too busy downing your third jumbo tub of popcorn with extra extra extra extra butter and nachos.

Don't be dense.

Critics are bashing Transformers because it's a bad movie, not because of your crackpot conspiracy theory. It's not as if critics are Hollywood's lackies. Hollywood isn't critiquing this movie, critics around the globe are. If your theory were right they would give any movie that shows the military in a good light a horrid rating, but on the same weekend that Transformers 2 came out a movie called The Hurt Locker came out which is about an elite Army bomb squad in Iraq, and that movie is getting some of the best reviews of the year. Why? Because it's a good movie.

Trick was probably watching Pee Wee Herman instead of Theo.

I thought the twins were one of the better parts of the movie. Not even close to Jar Jar level. And I thought this one was much better than the first movie. Better action, and no stupid computer analysis BS characters = win.

Yeah he did, and that's why everyone knew to get up and leave.
