[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Nor did I. But when two-story robots were comically trying to stay hidden during an American Pie-esque sex comedy storyline, I was laughing my head off, and so was the rest of the audience. Furthermore, the generic butch goodguy was hardly butch at all - it's far more of a geek-makes-good-while-wanting-to-get-laid kind of story. Hell, it even had Spicoli in it. :) The Decepticons were largely there to fight the Autobots and with the exceptions of Megatron and Frenzy had little real screen time - but that was intentional as we kept the characterizations on the much more interesting Autobots. Jazz is indeed killed almost as a throwaway to show just how destructive Megs is, but they do follow up on his death and mourn him. There's plenty of room for a sequel too, with the last shot of the movie showing a certain jet leaving Earth being the strongest implication. The Allspark plot overall was almost glossed over in favor of the human story, which was fine by me as it was hilarious. However, the implication of THAT was quite significant - Megatron wanted the Allspark to create an army to conquer (why did the Allspark create only mean, destructive Transformers?) while the Autobots were willing to destroy it to prevent this, effectively dooming their own race. If there is to be a sequel (and the writers are confirmed to already be on it) the plot ought to revolve around the resolution to the continuation of their race. I will easily say that this is the best Michael Bay movie I've seen. At no point was I finding the movie dragging on or groaning TOO loudly at the dialogue. And thankfully, the flag-waving typical of his movies was also minimized - he even jabs at the government at several points, to large applause from my Canadian audience. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
