DO THE DINOBOTS APPEAR IN THIS ONE????

the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,

No, they do not.
I found the humor funny in the first one, too. Thsi one... a bit forced.

Hey I got a question. In Transformer lore what is Maximus Prime?
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Went to see it last night.

I thought it was a bit better then the first one, still didn't like the parts with "Twit-wickey's" parents, or "Twit-wickey" himself.
The best parts were when the Transformers were in the shots and there was fighting, which allowed me to forget about the loser-boy and his parents...
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee sure kick some Decepticon ass. Optimus' twin blades were very cool, and Bumblebee's Bot-Fu was impressive...

It seems like everyone over on the IMDB forum utterly despised this movie.

But, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the action and the story, despite the inconsistencies with the first one. And, I will admit that they kind of did go overboard on the crude humor, but having gone through high school, I've learned to ignore that. So, I was able to focus on the story.

One thing that struck me as...weird was that the world would still be largely unaware of the Cybertronians. In the first one, they tore up a good portion of a city with, at least, several dozen witnesses. But, overlooking that, I was able to enjoy it. I particularly liked that these cybernetics can change loyalties, that they are not stuck on a particular side.

Well, they addressed it that the govenrment came in said some bs, and everyone tried to cover it up. :wink:

Did anyone else think the scene where
Bumblebee rips that Decepticon's spine out was the most badass part of the movie?
For that matter, was Bumblebee not a totally BAMF the entire film? His kill count was second only to Prime IIRC.

Hmm...
I kinda think Prime's 'I'll take you all on!" and "GIVE ME YOUR FACE" were a bit more badass.
Still, those were badass scenes.

I think it was kind of that I expected that from Prime. He's the big bad leader and everything. Bumblebee is little and cute and pathetic at times.

Heh. I was the 60 something member of the forum. I just don't have as much time to dedicate to it as y'all do. =D

Ya, I saw it, and I must say the Optimus Prime scene vs the three Decepticons was much better, though Bumblemee was a lot more bada*s, this time around.

Well, this isn't G1 Bumblebee. This is a more hardcore Bumblebee, one tempered by warfare and not the 'kid brother' to the other Autobots.
