Well after watching it the first time through I thought it was an okay movie with plot holes here and there. But it is kinda expected of a movie like this with all of the CGI and stuff. However.... there are somethings in the show that are really blatantly obvious should have been dealt with, e.g. why didn't he give the shard he found in his shirt to some of the Autobots instead of giving it to the Fox ? Why ? What ? He wanted a normal college day and all that ? Please... Doesn't he think after what the shard did to the kitchen he should at least have it out of his way and in the hands of an Autobot or at the very least the government ?

Of course as a movie goer and all, we can at least expect a movie with such a high budget and such good earnings from the first movie to at least give us something good and not have too many lose ends here and there, can't we ? You have so much money to use can't they at least pay their writers a little more to research/get better writers and make a better plot instead ????

If you want to take in regard the ticketing sales to see whether a show is good or not... I doubt you can do it or at least do it for this show. With people like that dude who appeared in The Star who went to watch the movie 7 times and also all the other audiences it would attract just from the hype it had build up from TF 1, I doubt you could... Srsly...

Also.. What happened to the Twins ? blink.gif

I see...the satelite is soundwave....i still like the original soundwave voice..

Well according to Wikipedia, Soundwave's voice should have sounded like his animated voice but don't sound like it. But his head looked alot like the one in the animated series especially the visor, and if the voice was like the original it would've been so awesome. And to make it more awesome, Soundwave fire Rail Gun from space. Phew~

Thats the plot. its not a plothole. he made a mistake by not having it "dealt with" properly . that further causes the "commotion" and destruction. Maybe a typical college boy ignorance (trusting good old gf MUCH more than anyone else in the whole wide world).

You don't "impose" what you are mature enough to do and be applied to the characters in the movie.

it's like watching a teen rape movie and then said... "ooh thats a blatant plothole, If I'm her, I wouldn't walk to the alley alone, I would call my mom to pick me up from clubbing! THAT'S A BLATANT OBVIOUS should be dealt with". Yeah if the obvious is dealt, with.. its not a "rape movie" anymore, its a "teen girl's first clubbing experience that end up safely" movie.


Btw the shard already caused his brain to be "encoded" with those cybetronian symbols/codes. Regardless of whether the shard is in Fox's hand or in the autobots safekeep, The decepticons are still gonna hunt him down and "take apart" his brain.

Sorry if I don't really know the difference between a plot hole and "a mistake by not having it "dealt with" properly".
Haha. You raise quite a good point there about the maturity thing but wouldn't have the shard been in safer hands if it were with the Autobots and maybe they could also find out sooner about why the enemy is here on Earth and could have prevented many things from happening.

About that "girl going into the alley" thing, it would have been kinda forgiven in a way if what derives from that plot point is not too extreme, feasible or only have a minor effect on the overall plot of the story. Okay, so she was raped and all that, she learned her lesson as long as the impact of that incident doesn't involve her having to travel all the way around the globe to hunt down a bring-back-to-life potion to revive her boyfriend who tried to save her from the rapist in the alley because she didn't tell her boyfriend to pick her up after clubbing.

Well, I better stop nitpicking.. Later draw too much fire sweat.gif .... Overall it was a nice action movie.

From your perception, I guess Titanic shouldn't even last that long, as both the "lovebirds" should be more mature/less horny in the beginning and NOT entangle themselves with each other , which causes further story development that focus mainly on their escape and finally with one dead. If they just practice self-control/maturity/moral values, Jack would be able to escape as an single individual , same goes for Rose. Their "dilly dally"/holding back each other might caused such tragic outcome (you jump I jump, etc. ) . "Titanic" after all,  won't divert too much from its title/intended story :- The movie can still tell a story on various other colourful characters in that ship in their struggle to escape the cursed ship.

Never watched Titanic... at least not the whole story. Just remembered the "You Jump, I Jump" quote cause when it was first produced too young to understand or let alone watch it. But the lovebirds were not expecting the ship to crash into an iceberg were they ? Haha.

Bay wanted to do his version of the TX since it suck so much in Terminator 3. And since Transformers has the Pretenders, why not include it as well in TF2. So he got his chance.
Actually, Bay did a good job with the TX..err..Pretenders...so now Terminator fans will want him to direct the rest of the Terminator movies instead of McG.
Since Terminator movie storyline got no where else to go except to destroy all of Skynet, lets do it the Bay style.
*
Good idea. Let's switch directors. Since Terminator series is now all about blowing shi- up (Bay's specialty) and TF series has to have a little bit less booms and more character development here and there.

In two hours you guys and girls can more or less fill up 1 page... V3 by end of July/Mid-August.

haha i slept for rogue assassin tongue.gif to tired just after spending a night at the museum for Merdeka. Xin anything you wanna see in the next TF? any specific characters? I'd like the autobots to create autobot city on earth with fortress maximus guarding it and also Ultra Magnus,Grimlock,Perceptor,Springer and Defensor in the next adaptation, would also love to see the bring Jetfire back since his spark is still in tact.
*
Did anything come alive ?
Sam did mention Sentinel Prime didn't he ? Haha and Defensor. That would be cool and the Dinobots.

Yeah some of the jokes were a little overdone. The brownie pot one was still okay but the ones during the entire Air and Space museum segment were very very bleh~~ And maybe they could have done away with some jokes and developed their characters more...

Little Britain is nice? I'll watch out for that.

I'm not saying you're low quality person. You have to differentiate between a low quality person and low quality audience.
*
Yeah some Brit comedies are nice and must sometimes think really hard.
How do you differentiate a low quality person and a low quality audience anyway ?

But seriously this movie really insults the audiences intelligence.

yup i too think the pretender is a fanservice instead. Does not polish the movie plot at all... better if they focus on Arcee or sumthing
*
Yeah. Maybe introducing the Pretender was a bad idea. It's like they had a sudden advance in tech to be able to replicate human figure and they never really did mention how or why suddenly out of nowhere got something like this. Focus on Arcee. Bay did say he wanted to introduce female Transformers and explain how they come about didn't he ?
