So...Transformers 2. Just saw it.
My opinion...let me put it this way: If Transformers 2 would be a meal, it would be a grand 3-course menu, prepared by a master chef. Unfortunately, said chef, while very proficient at making his menu as tasty as it can be, is patently incapable of producing anything truly nourishing. He has a few meals he knows how to get exactly right, but for anything else, he relies on recipes with very detailed instructions, as well as a boss watching his every move to make sure he follows them. In this case, the boss was out of the house, and the recipes were written by a bunch of people who know what a kitchen is, have seen and tasted food before, but do seem unable to grasp the point behind it all.

So, in conclusion, it would possibly be best if someone took away Orci's and Kurtzman's writing license until they have presented evidence of having attended and understood several scriptwriting classes.
Michael Bay should be demoted to 2nd Unit director immediately.

Film was okay

Loved the score to it

Steve Jablonsky did a very job on it!

I thought it was awesome... yeah there's some things that could have been left out or done
a little better. But amazing.. I came for the battles, I was not disappointed at all.

Evidently they didn't watch the movie.

1. Same thing you could say about Katrina and New Orleans, you don't hear about that
any more do you, even though it's still a disaster.

2. They lost that shard when they revived Jetfire.

3. Nothing says they one they ripped up was dead, supposedly it was one of the constucticons.

4. Evidently this person has never seen how a microscope or the apparatus the eye doctor's
use to test lens powers for your eye glasses works.

5. She's a Pretender established in the 80's canon. Bee's voice being broken is a good one, but they
did say in the start that he was still having trouble with it.

6. Yes TF's can reproduce after a fashion, hero's are not born, they are built as was once said.
The rest of this question is somewhat dumb.

7. First good question - true I noticed that.

8. Two in a row, nice... agree here too. Although the range on that railgun is probably a good deal longer than
80 miles.

9. If you watch the movie, based on Sam's words that she said I love you first... he was alive enough to hear.
So it was a vision, not robot heaven.

10.
Where does Sam's bandage come from?
It was written into the movie and Mikaela wrapped it in the movie. Again not paying attention.

What about his extra sock?
It came off his foot. Left I think. Again not paying attention.

Why does Sam's roommate not contribute anything at all?
Because of poor screen writing, and a pathetic character.

What was the Fallen doing for those thousands of years Megatron was frozen in ice?
Looking for the Cube was his original order. Gathering his resources, he didn't want to
get his butt off the moon till he had the advantage. They were breeding an army up there.
Again not paying attention.

How does one satellite receive transmissions from everywhere on the planet?
Cause it's hooked into a high level military network with ties to everything. It was essentially
hacked. This was covered in the first movie. Again not paying attention.

Why does Wheelie hump Mikaela's leg?
Supposedly for comedy to break up the Jetfire scene, admittedly stupid scene.
If there's any consolation, Wheelie was called Wheels in the novel, hopefully it's another naming issue.

Why do we have to see John Turturro's thong?
Same sad reason as above... *throws up some*

Why are robots who join together to become Devastator also seen fighting the Army at the same time?
Because.... Again not paying attention.

Why does the government want only our military fighting Decepticons when our weapons seem unable to make so much as a dent on any of them?
Because the government is a body of politicians, not a body of problem solvers.

Why did the ancient Egyptians build a pyramid around the sun-destroying machines instead of just breaking it?

They may not have been the ones to build the pyramid, that was covered. Also, are you going to tell me you can
go up to that thing with a hammer and spear as your best weapons and know how to break it? They'd be more likely
to worship the dumb thing.

Why is the Matrix of Leadership bigger in the Fallen's hand than in Sam's?

The Cube adjusted size, possibly it did the same. It may have also shrunk with the energon reducing over time.

And how do Mikaela's pants stay so clean?

The have that teflon coating commonly seen in men's dress pants.


Anyone want to forward this on... clear things up...?
Heck I'm surprised no one is standing up asking about the Space Bridge or what a Seeker is....
What's going to happen with the other Seekers... what about the guys on the moon... Soundwave...
Why Arcee got so little time, or how about the events in the last two year (which were covered in the novel).

The incident was covered up. We've heard of the Katrina and New Orleans. In the movie, the population didn't heard what happened in City X, despite of massive explosions and 50 foot high robots walking the streets. Unless you mean to say that Katrina and New Orleans were caused by Transformers.

2. They lost that shard when they revived Jetfire.

They were trying to revive Optimus in the first place, all they had to do was go to his carcase and jam the thing.

Advantage against what? Humans? Couldn't he just do the same thing on Earth where he knew the Matrix and the Cube were?

But at that point, Sam didn't know the shard would revive Jetfire and vanish in the process. Wheelie just said "Point it at him, and watch the magic happen".

The population had heard, by way of the internet. This was the point of introducing Sam's roommate and what the Sec7 guy was doing out of the basement. It was a coverup yes, but you can't hide all of it.

At that time it had only been established from Sam's POV that the cube was responsible for making non TF objects become Decepticons and
kill Megatron. Why would you shove it into prime, if you only knew that much?

Quote

The Fallen didn't know where the Cube was, that's why everyone was looking for it. This was covered when Megatron returned to the moon, and said he had failed his mission to get the Cube.

The Fallen also didn't know where the matrix was, that's because it was hidden by the Primes after he had been defeated the first time.
They used Sam and Co. to get it for them, then they attacked trying to claim it. They didn't know where it was, even though they gave Sam the Matrix treatment with the bug in the brain - because they were interrupted from sawing open his head to get the rest.

Regarding the last one, then why not build your base near (as in, not in the freaking moon) the device you want to use?

Hmm, maybe they don't like humans... maybe their realitor was a real jerk...
Maybe it has some added benefit for staying hidden...

I got the impression the structure there was a crashed ship, like the original in the
cartoon. They were leaching off it's systems.

From a travel distance standpoint, you can reach most of earth from the moon orbital wise.
If you're on the far side of the planet, you have to go around, or go up and then down again.

He could just kill the humans, it's not like he has to abide by some honor code. Also, if the Primes were defeated, what exactly is he staying hidden from?

If so, it seems to be the only plausible reason.

He presumably knew there was still one more.

Alternate, he was hiding from the fact he looks like he's gonna break out into "Walk Like An Egyptian" at any moment.

Could you sum up the film in one line of its dialogue?
"I am standing directly beneath the enemy's scrotum."
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.
