And BINGO was his name-o.

This is my primary beef with the film (inconvenient cutaways to Josh Duhamel coming in a close second). The human characters have always been secondary in Transformers stories.

And don't give me any bullshit about how humans relate better to humans. Why did WALL*E work out so well, then?

Ipsilon wrote:Though, I will add that I didn't have a problem with Shiah in the film, nor Megan Fox's rockin' bod, but still. There was room for that AND Transformer character development. They could've put that in over the Anthony Anderson interrogation scene.

Actually, they could've just had an autobot insignia on the screen with no music during Anderson's scenes and it would've been an improvement.

Actor Tyrese Gibson spoke very obliquely to Movieweb about the sequel. "My character has been upgraded to Master Sergeant Epps," Gibson said. "I am the top dog in the air force. I am a master sergeant. I am bringing on way more air strikes. Michael Bay really beefed up my presence in this sequel. I was really happy about that ... It's all secrets. Its way more robots. There are a whole bunch of new robots that the world is going to be introduced to. There is going to be way more action sequences. All of the stuff that goes on is really insane. What I love the most? I can purposely say this. I have never done nothing in my life, or been a part of anything in my life, where I feel like ever man, woman, and child in the world is going to see something that I've been in, and it's a lot of pressure. It is something ... I don't know. It's just a lot of pressure. It's like someone telling you that, while it might be a messed up comparison, a tsunami is going to hit in seven months. And you can see the tsunami before it comes. How do you prepare for that?"

There are Transformer battles galore, Megan Fox straddling a motorcycle in tiny Daisy Dukes, the not-so-surprising return of a character from the first film, a world-spanning search over an ancient mystery, and even more spectacular VFX! What's not to like?

(Ipsy, that last part was rhetorical, so shaddup :P )

"Listen, you're going to have your naysayers on anything," [Bay] said. "It's like is everything going to be melba toast? It takes all forms and shapes and sizes."
