Why do people give a shit about Megan Fox anymore? Sure, she's attractive, but so what? Unless she's straddling my lap I really can't be all that concerned.

Sure, acting props haven't counted in Hollywood in years, particularly when female sidekick parts in large studio productions are concerned, but that doesn't mean the eye candy has gotten any more appealing. I'd go so far as to say, since there's no real diversity anymore, they've become practically exchangeable, and therefore, bland and boring.

a lot of people give a shit

Star Scream is ordered to go get the cube, and he waits until they're in the city to swoop in? He's a friggin Raptor. I would've rather seen a huge ass robot battle right there on the highway than in the streets.

If you want 'redeem', how about the fact that this movie is only 4 minutes longer than the first but have 10 times the amount of special effects data (140 terabytes vs 15 terabytes).

I hate to break it to you but George Lucas changed the title of Revenge of the Jedi to Return of the Jedi around 1982. The official story is that Lucas didn't think that revenge is in keeping with a Jedi; the unofficial story is that it had more to do with another sci-fi movie that was released around then, The Revenge of Khan, which wound up being renamed to The Wrath of Khan.
Just a little cinema history for you.

sad really.

exactly. the artistic directors are paying zero attention to mechanics, able to transform a car stereo into a giant robot in a half second, billions of parts just rotating around and Bam!
whatever.

if do some research, you'll be surprised to find out that they took great care to not just "mass shift" when transforming the parts on the robots. this is true of both movies. both of you not seeing this movie wont stop it from being the largest grossing movie this year and one of the biggest all time... whiny bitches.

Same director, same actors, same scriptwriters = same bullshit idiot movie.
This is going to be utter crap. It'll make money. But only off of stupid people.

I mean honestly, (I hope) everyone knows that there isn't a giant spaceship flying around going where no person has gone before.
Nor is there a Death Star and there has never been one.
And there's no Batman or Spider Man.
So the cube went from this giant 2 story thing down to the size of a Tic Tac. OK, it's not going to happen unless the thing is completely hollow and made of tissue paper. Even then you can only fold something so many times.
But it was entertaining none the less. And I can either force the family to watch the old transformer cartoons while tuning in one of 80's radio stations in the background. Or I can enjoy what they've done with the franchise and be thankful that they didn't screw it up like this years Terminator.

"Great fight scenes, great CGI, let's accentuate this by spinning the camera wildly and from far too close up, so that it all looks like a blur of fat bullshit."
"Hey, that's a great idea boss."
"Giant robots, eh? Let's add a huge stable of terrible characters to the mix so that we can take the focus off of giant robots and onto completely humourless and retarded deviations from the plot."
"GREAT idea boss."
"Hey, I'm going to put my penis in your mouth."
"AMAZING idea boss."
