Since I was out of town when the original review went up, I feel a need to say this: Transformers: RotF (which stands for Retardation on Totally Full) was the worst steaming pile of crap of a movie I have ever seen. I left early, right around the Jetfire fart jokes.
And I mean this not in a, "I want deep, intellectual movies" kind of way, I mean, even as a "summer movie," it was shit. Horrible jokes, the dynamic pacing of a methed up thrash metal band, and characters so cliched and annoying I could only pray that Decepticons would successfully obliterate them all. And also, the blatant racism.
So... Meredith, you're not in agreement with CJ re: T2, then? Uh oh, I sense a rift in management!
Bay making this SF movie would make sense... if Ryu or Ken were in it, throwing out fireballs that actually did explode on contact. Talk about 1 hit KOs.
Kristin Kreuk is one seriously lovely woman...and yes, the merketing of this film has played that down to a strange degree...but maybe they're trying to avoid making it look like it's just a movie about a girl...?
@goldfarb: But it's a movie about a kick butt girl, I just don't get that from this and the trailer. I only see sad girl. Then there was that whole second in the trailer where she's crying. Oh it makes me mad they need to let her shine.

That's ok. Not everyone can stomach a hot, steaming pile of awesome.

With Bay the line between the one and the other can be very, very thin.

I couldn't identify 'em either. Talk about blandifying iconic character design. I'd HATE to see what they do to a Darkstalkers film. :p
