Transformers 2 Sucks

[triplea]

I saw this movie a few days ago. To call this film a waste of time and money would be an understatement. Michael Bay goes out of his way to make sure this film is as unenjoyable as humanly possible.

The movie doesn't really deserve an in-depth review so I'll just point out everything wrong with it, likely things already addressed by other reviewers. Spoilers abound but its not like any serious movie goer would care:

- The Transformers take a backseat to a horrible teen love story and gung-ho US military bullshit in their own fucking movie.
- The new main villain sucked, he probably had 5 minutes of screen time tops.
- The movie can't decide if it wants to be a romantic teen comedy or an action film. Because male thong jokes along side dozens of transformers being literally ripped apart isn't awkward at all.
- The Decepticon college whore had potential but lasted a measly 10 minutes of screen time before biting the dust.
- Subtle political bias, because everyone knows the cherry on top to a movie based off an 80's children's cartoon and toy line is to pay lip-service to Republican foreign policy.
- In fact, Bay's army fetish more or less ruined this movie. The army probably had more screen time than any of the Transformers combined.
- Blatant racism, Skids and Mudflaps are Autobots are quite possibly the most useless characters and most insensitive racists archetypes I've ever seen in a movie. You'd think Skid's enormous buck teeth would be offensive enough but then we learn that Skids and Mudflaps "don't do much reading." So what happened Bay? Was it too late in the production of the movie for the fried chicken, watermelon, grape drink, and Sports Illustrated issues to make it in?
- As soon as you think Sam Witwicky's parents were only going to be seen at the beginning of the movie, they suddenly appeared in Egypt. Literally they're just dropped in Egypt by one of the Decepticons, no build up or anything.
- Utterly useless supporting cast, Leo Spitz (Ramon Rodriguez) literally served one small purpose in the film then bitched and whined the rest of the film.
- Possibly the most boring and most horribly acted love interest of all time. In the first movie, Megan Fox's character actually saw some action but here she's just more useless than ever.
- Deus ex machina to resurrect Optimus Prime, what an unoriginal piece of shit.

To give Michael Bay credit, I thought that the character Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf) was actually better this time around than in the first movie, at least in terms of relevance to the plot (or some semblance of a plot, anyway).

The sad thing is that first week sales has already surpassed this fucking movie's ridiculous budget.

Did you really think that it was going to be good?

The first movie had blatant racism too (Jazz was so obviously black... he loved to breakdance as well, and Anthony Anderson's family was scared of the police), and was just as bad, story wise.

TBH, I saw the movie because my Dad wanted to see it and I wanted to get out of my 91 degree house. It's not like I payed money to see it.

[Tom Tom Benomnom]

No, I totally understand. I just bootleged it. Bay is not worth my money, and he's only worth my time if I'm making fun of him with friends.

Honestly... this first one was utter shit, in all of the worst ways. I really think that Uwe Boll might be a more competent director than Bay. And that says alot.

Everyone's talking about how bad this movie is. I might have to see it now. Luckily I get to go to movies for free so I don't have to give Mr Bay any moneys.

....douche.....

:D

They don't do much reading?! Then READ A BOOK! READ A BOOK! READ A MOTHERFUCKING BOOK!

[Casey Roonan]

Eh? Eh? Anyone? :{

[Tom Tom Benomnom]

That was more like the final straw. Getting the guy who voices Spongebob, to play an obvious racial stereotype is a low blow enough.

The reading is just icing on the racism cake.

[Casey Roonan]

Dude, I didn't even see the movie; all I want is someone to acknowledge my reference.

Well played sir...well played...
