I never seen a fraternity house like the one in the movie. At that moment all of my friends and I looked at each other and said 'that's not college.' hah

Yes, I realize it's a movie.

I agree, though, that last 1/2 mile run... goodness... they knocked out the other 2.5 miles in like 20 minutes...
I also think that the end wasn't epic enough (not saying it was terrible or anything). I was hoping for some huge ending that would have me on the edge of my chair and then give me goosebumps. Nope. Optimus Prime saved the day in like 20 seconds and that was that.

What a waste. Nothing was funny about the "funny" scenes, and I didn't know transformers get hard ons. I almost fell asleep.

Yeah we are really proud of that chapter and the house, which is known as the Castle both by the fraternity and the school. I actually had people staring at me during that part. The shout of joy at seeing the diamond probably had something to do with that. :P You also have a good point though with the ending. The fight in the woods was more epic then the "Big Fight" at the end of the movie, though ha flying Optimus was cool.

I laughed at parts, but it was like they were trying too hard to be funny.

I liked it, but I'm wasn't going into it expecting an "oscar worthy" performance. It's an action flick, so the reality is I was expecting some monster action scenes and the acting to be "so-so". I enjoyed myself.

-I loved the two autobots that started out as the ice-cream truck then became the red and green cars. They were pretty funny.
-The small deceptican that Micheala "trapped" was pretty funny too.
-I will admit that I shed a tear or two when optimus died, but his "rebirth" wasn't a grand old thing that I expected.
-Josh Duhamel, god can he be any cuter!!!!
-Like Tyrese although my favorite line from him is still from the first movie "left cheek, left cheek". LOL.

Well, one of the fraternity houses at my school is called The Castle as well, but I mean the interior of the house seemed ridiculous with the walls of light and what not.

And I didn't think the fact that the one giant mega robot had testicles was funny at all.

I know, that's a good way of putting it. They were trying way too hard. I'll wait for the next one to come out on dvd.

That level of cheesiness reminds me of how some of the female Gobots in the cartoon had lipstick and female Transformers had breast-like formations.

And what's kind of funny is that I recall watching an interview with Shia about the movie and he said they took out the cheesiness from the first movie and replaced with action.

Right:

I agree. I found it offensive, because I knew who they were stereotyping. I missed the silver tooth. Doesn't surprise me though.

I saw the movie tonight and thought it was ok. It wasn't anything like the first, though. But I guess there are very few sequels that could be considered better than the original.

I think the slow parts were necessary in order to understand what was going on and why, so that didn't bother me too much.

I enjoyed the funny parts, although a couple things could have been left out (i.e. robots having reproductive organs).

Megan Fox is utterly useless. She's hot, I get that. But she should be a model, not an actress. And it might sound weird, but her face was basically frozen in this "mouth not moving much at all, lips never touching, looking helpless" kind of way. All she really contributed to the movie was her butt, her boobs bouncing in slow motion, and her two big front teeth.

She has a butt?

was it CGI?

I missed it...or maybe I was dozing.
