Skids & Mudflap - They're robots, I don't think people should see them as anything to get offended by. They had a good dynamic, and they offered a good personality to the Autobot team. The time they started fighting with each other was a bit forced feeling, but it was to move the plot along.
Using the allspark shard on Jetfire instead of Optimus Prime - Optimus was dead, Jetfire in stasis lock/dormant, and the allspark fragments don't revive robots unless heavy modifications are done to them(like Scalpel did with Megatron). That's the most logical explanation that I think fits.
Megatron saying there is no authority above him, then calls The Fallen "master" - He's using "master" as synonymous with "teacher" "sensei", etc. The Fallen even refers to Megatron as his apprentice. I thought that was obvious.
The "immature" jokes - Didn't see anything was wrong with them. I liked most of them, at least. I definitely didn't see them as embarrassing to watch.
All in all, my favorite movie of the trilogy. Are there any other fans out there that enjoyed RoTF as much as I did?

I think the reason it catches so much crap is because people think it's "cool" to trash something that's popular. You can see the same thing with Twilight, I guarantee most of the people ripping on it have never read the books or seen the movies. I did the same thing with Titanic back in my immature younger days, and I had never seen it.

But someone on here said that it's not that there are very few people who like the movies, but it's the ones who hate them that are louder. I love all three movies to death, and my dad and I both agree that ROTF is one our favorite movies of all time. Yes, it does have its flaws, but they aren't enough to cancel out everything good about it for me.

Remember, just because the Negatrons raise more hell doesn't mean you're the only Optimist Prime around.

The only thing that was really wrong with DotM was Jerry Wang. Dude should've been toned way the slag down or recast entirely. Too bad that he, unlike most bit characters, is actually central to the plot and can't be removed in a fan edit.
Rushie wrote:I know he was, but Sam's hijincks with the torture watch were pretty funny. Jerry was just obnoxious, from the extremely forced bathroom stall jokes to the dual gangsta wieldin' and talking down a freaking Decepticon assassin. It's such a drop of quality and genre from the Chicago massacre and the great opening scene.

Part of that is Ken Jeong just being himself. The man's friggin' hilarious. He's a doctor, too. (No, I'm not joking.)

You'd think a guy with a sense of humor like him would be the last person you'd appoint to be a doctor, yet he makes both careers work somehow.

One of his Hangover co-stars was poisoned (food) during filming and he assisted on the set. He, like any of us, can turn it on or off when necessary.

The humping was mercifully short and I actually laughed in the theater when Sam's mom tackled the frisbee player. Otherwise, the film could've used more characterization and exposition of the whole Seven Primes/Seekers/Fallen subplot and less tasering of museum guards and silly bit-character humans getting more close ups than actual Transformers. (I'm looking at you, toothless butcher in Simmons' deli)
Aside from that, I enjoyed the film to heck, saw it twice in theaters and still prefer it to the first film.

And I, a second THIS.

I think the world might really be ending this year, and this is a sign.
