Sorry Dustin,

Transformers was not good. Spoilers may follow.

- If the key to keeping Megatron from killing everyone is keeping him frozen, how did they get him there in the 1930's? A huge icebox?

- They said Hoover Dam was made to cover up Megatron, yet Megatron was discovered in 1933 and the dam was started in 1931. Ok, maybe they had the idea after they built the dam.

- Ratchet is supposedly the dude that helps fix other Transformers, yet I don't think I saw him help anyone

- In fact, none of the Transformers had any real personality. In the cartoon version, at least they tried. Hot Rod steps up as leader. Starscream wants to take Megatron's power. Blur talks fast. See? Deep.

- How does Bumblebee know what radio station to turn to to "talk"? Since when do robots need a voice box to talk? Can't he just talk through his other speakers he uses to communicate?

- Why does the little creeper guy (Frenzy, I think) make so many noises when he scurries around? Why do robots have to make so many grunts? Also see: Star Wars Episodes I-III.

- Whatever happened to the Transformer in the desert that buried underground?

- Why make Megatron frozen through 3/4 of the movie?

- How did the location of the All Spark get grafted onto the glasses?

- Optimus Prime wouldn't go after Bumblebee because he couldn't do it without hurting the humans. Did he take this into the equation when he decided to stage a war in the middle of the city?

And too many other things to list. My head hurts.

- What happened to the police car decepticon?

- Why would a robot (Frenzy) make a Wilhelm scream when kicked?

- Why did Optimus Prime only use that one sweet built-in arm sword one time? If I had that thing, I'd be whipping it out all the time. "Oh, you want me to pay for that mcmuffin? Well how about... THIS!" and then SCHHHING out comes my arm blade and blammo, free breakfast.

- How did Bumblebee all the sudden start talking at the end of the movie? Did it have something to do with losing his legs?

- Why would Megan Fox marry Brian Austin Green?

- If the robots learned to speak using THE INTERNET, why was there no mention of:
a. Chocolate Rain
b. LOLcats
c. Diet Coke & Mentos
d. Ron Paul

- What in the hell kind of plot starts with "First, there was the cube. That's all we know about it. Now, on with the movie."

- Why did the robot that crashed through the bus move like an Olympic speed skater? Oh, right, THE INTERNET.

- Just who does Michael Bay think he is?

- When does the sequel come out?

I think the dialog should have been:

MEGATRON: All your base are belong to us!
OPTIMUS PRIME: O RLY?
JAZZ: I, for one, welcome our new Deceptacon overlords!
STARSCREAM: CAN I HAS ALL SPARK?

Bonecrusher: DELETED
Jazz: It would appear they have our dicks in a box, Optimus.
Optimus Prime: LEEEEEEROY JENKINS!

Didn't this movie come out over the summer? Why are we just talking about it now?

Posted by: siskow at October 24, 2007 08:26 AM

Because I saw it on video and didn't understand why everyone (Dustin) loved it so much.

Are you kidding, this movie was brilliant! Andy Langager is the worst thing to happen to me since E-85!

Can't a day go by without G. Richard Wagoner commenting on my website...

OK. I'll admit that after a second viewing, it's not as great as I thought after the first time. Yes, it has plot holes and loads of Bay cliches. But if you turn off your brain and just watch the shiny metal things flying around, it's hella cool. I'll also point out that BK and Cody both liked it as well.

I am slightly worried at the fact that the same writers who wrote this are writing the new Star Trek movie.

And you may now commence calling me a nerd.
