Wasn't too impressed with the first one, but I'll probably watch this one. Half the reason being that Megan Fox is in it...

I saw the movie last night, and I really enjoyed it. It was much better than the first one, particularly because this movie actually seemed to be about giant robots beating the shit out of each other, instead of being about humans doing shit with giant robots in the background.

Are there racist robots in the Transformers sequel? I heard about this a couple of days ago, and I thought it was people being overly sensitive. But once I saw the two robots in the movie, I changed my mind. They are racist stereotypes, and it is inappropriate. I'm not exceedingly pissed, but it does annoy me a great deal. I thought we were sophisticated enough as a society that we didn't have to make use of stereotypes to get laughs. Then again, I also thought that there wouldn't be a joke about a robot having balls in a PG-13 rated movie.
I really liked the movie, but I facepalm'd every time the twins were on screen (which was, unfortunately, a lot).
On a slightly different subject:
Although Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a major success at the box office, not everyone who is seeing the film is happy about it. There has been a argument growing that Director Michael Bay’s portrayal of the two jive-talking Chevy twin robots are racial caricatures and offensive.
Skids and Mudflap are two twin robots disguised as compact hatchbacks who are constantly fighting and who use “rap-inspired street slang” according to THR. One has a gold tooth and when pressed by Shia LaBeouf, they both tell him that they don’t know how to read.
Some viewers are calling the twins “outrageous” and “degrading” while others are saying “They were hilarious.”
When asked about the robots Bay said, “It’s done in fun. I don’t know if it’s stereotypes — they are robots, by the way.”

More like Shia LaBeouf featuring The Transformers, right?
Some of the autobots didn't even need to be in the film with the screentime they got. Like Arcee and Chromia, who got maybe 4 minutes....
I still enjoyed it though. And for those complaining about Megan Fox in the movie, I've got one question for you. Are you a fag?

It just pisses me off that I'm paying $10 bucks to watch robot blow shit up and not Megan Fox. If I want to stare at her, I would Google some of her pictures. At least I'm not paying for that stuff. Her character n the movie sucks ass and I would cheer. Ratcher getitng less screen time than her? Sacrilegious. I bet Star Wars fans or Trekkies would riot if that same shit happened on their series.
Oh yeah, Shia can burn in a fire too.

You should of went into the movie expecting the focus to be on Shia and Megan. That's what the first movie should of taught you.Definitely.
I actually enjoyed this sequel a lot because I was expecting it to be 90% humans/10% robots, like the first one. Because it wasn't, I was very happy throughout most of the movie.

But f I started thinking like that, I wouldn't be complaining about stupid things like those. Complaining is fun.

I've been checking out some reviews for the movie, out of simple curiosity, and critics are really slamming it. I can't exactly argue with them, because the plot is fucking crazy, the humans are useless, and the humor is very, very bad, but at the same time, I don't feel like I wasted my money. It's an odd feeling, agreeing with everything a person says (about how bad the movie is) but then not agreeing with the final statement ("This movie sucks").

Curious and Wondering
This movie was interesting. At least it was worth the bucks I spent on 2+ hours watching it ^_^
But one thing - when John Turturro's character Simmons was cimbing the pyramid to follow the Decepticon that was ripping the pyramid's top to expose the Sun Harvester, he looked up and saw two huge copper balls side-by-side on the Decepticon's rear end. So... Decepticons can have balls? Everyone in the movie theater was laughing hard during that scene.
