Let's be real...

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2009)

Most of the reviews I have read about this movie have expected it to be some sort of relevant cinematic masterpiece on the level of an Oscar-worthy picture. What these people don't seem to understand is this is TRANSFORMERS, not a movie about some sort of serious political issue from our past.
Transformers: RoTF is a movie bent on showing the combat and rivalry between the Decepticons and the Autobots - it isn't intended to have some complex plot and story line. The robots are truly the stars of the movie as they are the premise of the film and they are the reason it exists in the first place. The (human) characters lack some pizazz, of course, because this movie isn't about them.
Personally, I cheered, laughed, and loved the f*ck out of this movie. Yes, I did. Do I feel like it was some sort of brilliant piece of cinema? Of course not, because it wasn't intended to be this years Slumdog Millionaire. This movie delivered exactly what 99.9% of the movie-goers and fans of the Transformers expected - unadulterated robot destruction, crude humor, and of course, a scantily-clad Megan Fox.
There are racist stereotypes in most movies this day, any one who takes them seriously needs to realize this is a movie - oh my god they called a woman a 'b*tch' - I'm a woman and I wasn't offended by that at all. As for the 'Twins' racist stereotype, all of the African-Americans I saw in the theater were laughing along with the rest of us.
In conclusion, this movie was an amazing piece of just pure action and I felt like a 5 year-old kid as I skipped out of that theatre with a grin on my face.
