    This film has grossed over $200 million. I don't think the producers give a shit if the plot stands up to TDK or not.

    So the decepticons all fly or can piggy back on others that fly, how the hell do the autobots get off planet?

    Bumblebee commanded the Autobot forces at Tyger Pax attempting to hold the Decepticons off while the All Spark was launched off-planet. He succeeded, but Megatron crushed his voice box, and he lost his ability to speak in the process. Ratchet has been having trouble fixing it ever since.

    I hate myself.

    Oh, they explained that in a comic that he damaged his voice whatevers again, and Ironhide was trying to fix him or something but couldn't. That was pretty stupid that they didn't give any explanation in the movie, and the fact that they just did the radio voice again, but I guess people liked it in the first movie or something?

    And I'd have to guess that the Autobots have some way to launch themselves into space and then navigate in space, I guess. I mean, that's another kind of dumb thing in the movieverse, how they just all fly through space by themselves in entry modes, rather than just taking ships or something, because it's just one more thing that doesn't quite make sense if you try to think about it.

    Good god, after all the reviews for this I hope that Bay, Orci, and Kurtzman are fired and George Krstic is placed on board for the third movie. It won't happen, but it would be preferable.

    Well, as much as I wouldn't mind seeing those guys leave and having some more competent people make a third movie, all the terrible reviews in the world aren't going to matter anywhere near as much as all the money it's going to make.

    Megas Xlr with Autobots instead of the titular mech and Decepticons in place of the Glorft and various enemies of the week.
    It wouldn't be an artistic masterpiece, but it would at least have an easy to follow plot.

    Well if you remove the hackers,piss jokes,Bernie Mac,all the "USARMY HOOAH!!!" propaganda, and the idiot soldiers with the generic "I have a wife and new baby I need to stay alive!" story the first movie is in fact quite good.

    No amount of edits can fix Revenge of the fallen though. Bay made sure of that.

    His scenes were stupid and pointless. I could excise him and the movie makes sense.

    I like Bernie god rest his soul but even he admitted he only did movies for the paycheck.

    I love how removing him makes me a racist though. Way to raise the bar guys.

    Honestly i'd have just been happy with more screentime for Devastator and JetPrime. Or heaven forbid a fight between the two.

    Also, when did Optimus say the Give me your face bit? I somehow either missed it/ can't remember it and have seen it mentioned across approximiately 400 internets.

    right before/ as he ripped the fallen's face off
    it was a little bit too one-linery for me, especially considering he pulled almost the exact same stunt in the forest fight scene, which was so much cooler

    there are moments in the film that remind me that it must have been given at some point something resembling a real script treatment before it got earfucked by the strike and (one can imagine) michael bay's holy vision.
    the DON'T GO! scene with sam's dad near the end wasn't exactly oscar fodder, but it was well-acted and was a well-done counterpoint to the leaving-for-college thing from the beginning. this is all i'm asking for in this movie. a litle bit more cohesion and emotion.
    I'd even accept the lolballs jokes (albeit begrudgingly) as long as they weren't in the middle of action scenes.

    You guys are fags this movie had a lot of robots and explosions
    Hopefully Transformers 3 has Metroplex
    My only complaint is that the railgun was used to kill Devastator.
    I think a much more awesome climax would've been all the autobots (Ironhide, Rachet, Bumblebee, twins and whoever else) going against Devastator while upgraded Prime takes on the 3 main badguys.
