Nobody points out the black spec ops dude as another racial stereotype.
When stuffy paper-waving "The President told me so" NSA dude is arguing that the Transformers should go away, everyone gets a word in: White NSA dude, white spec ops major from the first film, white general in the command place back home, and of course, Optimus Prime.
Then the black dude speaks up with a moving statement about how they've bled and rusted together in the field and he knows they are honorable or something and the NSA dude says "We aren't paying you to talk" or something like that.
I haven't seen it, but I key in on Mudflap and his brother because you have to go that extra mile to intentionally add in such uniquely human and utterly useless visual features to two out of 46 or however many robots.

Yeah, sure, that's the point. He was going for caricature with those two. This was much more subtle and unintentional, and just supports how strong the racial stereotyping is in the film.

Also Gamer, Fame, Black Dynamite and some Megan Fox film called "Jennifer's Body" by Diablo Cody with this description:
When a gorgeous cheerleader is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a small Minnesota farming town, her "plain Jane" best friend must kill her, then escape from a correctional facility to go after the Satan-worshipping rock band responsible for the horrible transformation.

I like how the main villain shoots missiles that disintegrate whatever they hit at alarmingly low speeds, instead of just, you know, getting a nuke or something.

He spent all that money on R&D.
He might as well shoot them.

I was really, really excited for Cloverfield to be released, and when I saw it in the theatres...
...it made me dizzy.
It was sad, because I think I could have enjoyed it otherwise.

I wasn't so keen on the nausea it inspired. Maybe it was psychosomatic, I suppose. But it was certainly distracting.

Pretty much my opinion too.
I watched it with my roommate and he had no idea what the movie was about, nor had heard about it at all.
First twenty five minutes are basically Party of Five, only with terrible acting and nothing happening at all. He was so close to just walking out.
Pretty much how I perceive the entire population of NYC.
The one girl was pretty damn hot though, too bad about her exploding.

Wow.
I will have to see this movie.
She looks like a cheap whore.
I've seen a lot of cheap whores. I know.
the movie will be 99% smarmy cultural references.
You mean Crackdown: The Motion Picture?

I still think it is going to be terrible though
