Yeah, that was what made me almost leave the theater because of that certain scene of Sam's special alone time in the first movie. I was disgusted.

I haven't watched the second one because all I saw was Megan Fox's skin and more sexual stuff...I just didn't want to give Micheal Bay any more of my money with that stupid sexual stuff.

I find little robots dry h***ing a girl's leg disgusting.
Actually, I thought that was funny for the like 5 seconds, and then I'm thinking, "Okay, down boy."

But yeah, even thought I like the first movie slightly better, I'm not happy with the way they killed Jazz off.

Though I still kind of like the 2nd movie, even though I think some of the crude humor was bit much and some of it kind of unessicery.

Though sometimes I wonder if Optimus and Jetfire were the main reasons I liked the ROTF. Because they were awesome in that.

Hopefully next time they really will HAVE the Dinobots. I wanna see grimlock.
Yeah, me wanna see Grimlock too! :D

Hey. Woh. Cut.

I always found his first movie toy absolutely awesome (pretty much one of the best toys ever), so that has a lot to do with it, but I like Ironhide.

Toys aside, I like his attitude, and the slight comedic approach Michael Bay took with him.

Ratchet: Oo, that's tingly- you got to try it.
Ironhide: *Scoffing* Yeah, that looks like fun.

"I will tear you apart!"

"The parents are irritating. Shall I take them out?
...
I'm just saying we could. It's an option."

In fact, one of my gripes with the second movie (which I did enjoy) was that Ironhide got very little to do. I mean, he got like... 6 lines, and while they're cool to hear, they're short, and in the grand scheme of things, inconsequential. Ratchet got even less. Though I'm not his biggest fan, I'm sure those who are were dissapointed.

My other gripe is, as has been mentioned, the crude humor. A lot of the time, I felt like "Come on, really?"

Anyways, overall, as I said, I liked the movie. Optimus Prime was awesome, and fortunately knew how to fight (the first time I saw the forest scene, I smiled involuntarily- like I didn't want to look like a drooling nerd, but I couldn't stop, and my smile got bigger and bigger, and I could do absolutely nothing about it. Eventually I chose not to try).

Bumblebee's brief radio-with-the-girl-in-the-car-re-joke was pretty funny.
Jaw's theme. Hee hee hee.

Me and my brother appreciated the fact that Ravage actually got what he deserved (just before his viewing the film, which was my second time, we had been watching season one of G1 on DVD and noting how Soundwave's tapes always did seemingly impossible, and utterly aggravating things- for instance, Ravage jumping onto Optimus Prime [you know that Cybertronian who's so big he needs a Peterbilt to disguise himself]- and knocking him flat over, Rumble beating Hound underwater, etc., etc.). He tried picking a fight with Bumblebee, and Bumblebee dislocated his spine.

From his body.

Megatron actually picked on Starscream.

And Devestator got wrecked by a guass rifle. I'm sure Jammer will have appreciated that if he's seen the movie.

Very enjoyable.
I understand... you are, after all, a predacon.

Yeah, looks like Bee got revenge on Ravage for always pouncing on him in G1. :lol:

The humor was alright, some one had a pretty good sence of humor when they gave Devesator a set of balls.

Well as much as i thought Ravage was cool, i have to say that i one eyed cat had it comming. You mess with Bumblebee your gonna get hurt. Don't forget he kicked Barricade's aft in the first movie.
Megatron actually picked on Starscream.
From what i've seen on some of the clips for the G1 transformers of Starscream and Megatron Michael bay got their relationship pretty well. Seeing how Starscream was always the punching bag.

Same here. I felt that half of RotF was unnecessary and could've been used to give minor characters more screen time, build character development, push the plot forward a little better, etc.

Loving these discussion threads!

The first movie was good. Totally made me pull out my hair the way Bay made us wait for some actual big-robots-make-big-explosions scenes. But there were some nice little tributes. Did anyone notice camero Bumblebee knocked a dent into his g1 vehicle mode in the car lot? Heeee. And then the protoforms falling to earth was kinda like stasis pods. Beast wars, babeee!
Sides that, I loved Peter Cullen's deep, majestic voice.

"How'd you find out about the glasses?"

"EBAY."

:D

RotF was good. A lot of my non-transfan friends say that this one was alot more understandable then the first one, so I'll roll with that. Sure it had tons of crude humor, but if Bay was directing the film toward my guy-friends, he was spot on. They said it was funny as heck. And of course, when Megan Fox is in booty shorts, they give it an automatic 2 thumbs up. :roll: Since Pretenders were kinda new to me, I was super suprised to see that astronomy chick was one. Oh yes, props to the writers for giving fanfic writers something canon about how transformers reproduce: in nasty egg sacs like sharks.

That would be GREAT to see the Dinobots again. I like both movies, but I liked ROTF more. I did not care for the crude humor though.

I haven't seen the second movie, have utterly no desire to watch a movie pretty much showcasing Micheal Bay losing his marbles.

First movie didn't impress me either, full of juvenile toilet humor that wasn't funny in grade school, and wasn't funny now.

It had it's moments, I admit.

But otherwise, the first one was a waste of my money, so I wizened up and refuse to see the 2nd.

Yeah, I didn't see the second one in theaters because I was really afraid to.

But when it comes to DVD, I can buy then since the money only goes to the store then. I'll watch and skip those dirty scenes.

The first one didn't have that much toliet humor, though I think they went a little overboard with it in ROTF.

Actually the DVD does give Bay and the others some profit, it's called Royalties.

Youtube already has all of the best scenes from the second movie, so that way you can cut the junk and enjoy the action.
