And for everyone who keeps bashing it…first of all, it was NOT meant to be a comedy, its an action movie that's why there were a few cheap funny parts. and if you dont like just sitting there watching huge robots kick each others ass..then the movie is not for you.

but i loved it!!! i am a huge transformers fan:)

First off, the humor. It seemed like every joke was just some raunchy cut scene that really had nothing to do with the movie. The dogs humping is a prime example of Bay just throwing in something for a cheap laugh. The one exception is the ancient autobot. He was funny, and he was able to advance the plot. I really enjoyed his character.

Second, the All Spark. I understand it wasnt completely destroyed, how ever i was very confused when they kept saying there was only one piece left. They clearly showed two pieces, the one in the military bunker, and the piece that transferred information to Sam. What the hell happened to the splinter? Last we saw it was just sitting in a crappy vault with the decepacon well aware of its existence. If one piece could bring back Megatron, then why couldnt that splinter bring back optimus?

Third, the parents. They had no reason to be in this film. The scene where the mom ate a pot brownie was totally overdone. Towards the end, i was just shaking my head begging for it to be over. Next time we see the rents, they are enjoying a lovely vacation in france. Awesome. They apparently get kidnapped, though it is never actually shown. Then we dont hear about them for an hour of the movie. Instead, at a point where Sam is already cornered, the parents randomly appear and seem to distract to decptacon more then anything. If he had simply grabbed Sam and held him hostage, bumblebee wouldn’t have been able to kick his ass. Then the whole scene where sam tells them to go seemed again like a moment of forced high emotion. There was absolutely 0 build up to it. 5 minutes before, you had no idea the parents existed.

4. The fallen – How did he get defeated in the first place? I understand that he lost the matrix of leadership to the 7 other primes, but they died to make an indestructible coffin of their bodies ( which is destroyed by one blast from Bumblebee’s cannon. Seriously, if the robots were able to sneak through an air vent, why couldn’t they walk through the giants gaps Sam did?) However, once the primes were gone,why didnt the fallen just wreck the entire human race. He is clearly very powerful, and ancient man had no chance to stop him. Yet, instead he just goes to mars and hides out. Porque?

Please, I welcome open debate on these points. Maybe there were subtleties I didn’t grasp in one viewing. But these were the top four things I came away wondering.

Despite all of that, the CGI was top notch, the battle scenes were entertaining, and Megan Fox was sexy as usual. It might have run a bit long, but i didnt feel like it. I agree with the original blog post that alot of the hating going around the web is just to hate, or to echo critics. I like to think I am raising at least some valid concerns with the over all story telling.
