Well i saw this movie and thought it was great. Better than the first, although
i have to say they did alittle to many sexual jokes but aside from that it's a must see

Well I finally saw it, great movie. I didn't like the roles of the some of the classic Transformers like Soundwave and Devastator, but overall it was great. Really liked the plot, it had traces of the cartoon movie while still being fresh. Can't wait for Transformers 3.

Yep, an entertaining popcorn flick. Everyone loves to bash flicks like Transformers and G.I. Joe as being "trash" for one reason or another.

Thing is- a $250 million flick needs to appeal to a LOT of people if it wants to succeed. As a screenwriter, it can be very hard to juggle all the necessary components and not end up with an incoherent mess. Think about all the things going on in that flick:

Big action for all the guys, a couple a lowbrow joking comic relief robots for the kids, old favorite robots from the cartoon appearing for the hard-core fans, Megan Fox's T&A for the adult guys, Tyrese and the other hunk-type guy for the adult ladies, the nerdy government guy for more adult comic relief, multinational locations to broaden overseas appeal, even a romance between the two leads for the girls . . .

PHEW! And there's TWO and A HALF hours of that. If someone said "Right me a script and jam all this into it, now!" it would be a daunting task. (I could do it, of course . . . )

But my point is that's its not easy to write films like these. And no matter how well-done it is you will never be respected outside of Hollywood or even within it- publicly. That means no Oscars but it also means the next time there's a big-budget superhero/action extravaganza that needs a script fast- you'll be on the short list of people to call. And you'll get a very big paycheck.

Some people can bounce back and forth between big $$/no prestige pics like Transformers and smaller, indie, Oscar-material pics like Breaking the Waves.

Not many-
