Fixed. 8)


Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.

We should just probably say "it made a lot of cash" and just leave it at that, but that just doesn't have the same impact, does it?

WTF? If I remember, it was a white male being chased by the Homicidal police car that changed into a robot, and it was teh black male with a bunch of white males being chased by a robotic scorpion in the desert, I dont see underlying racists tones there

People just see what they want to see. You know what I've noticed? All of these people that play the race card, call a person or thing racist, etc...are militant. They just have to be ready for a fight with their hollow and shallow opinion, they can't do it peacefully. Oh no.

Jazz died because Megatron ripped him in half, killing him.
Not because he was a "black stereotype".

Sgt. Epps was Lennox's second in command and there was nothing cartoony about his performance or how he handled the mission.

Glen was a GENIUS computer hacker who was able to decipher *ALIEN* code hidden in a frequency signal.

In fact, if you want to pull the race card (and we might as well. They're being ridiculous, let's do so as well, shall we?)

Barricade is predominately black, and chasing after a white kid. So wouldn't it be safe to say he's a black cop chasing after a white kid, simply because he can or he thinks the kid did wrong? No. It wouldn't be safe to say it (because it's all double standards in race relations, mind you...everyone misses one key component...we're called...the HUMAN race.)

Other than Lennox, anyone working with or under Epps was white and they were pretty much inept. "Mr. Fenway Park is my perfect day" was spiked by Scorponok, but everyone else ran to safety. In the village, Fig gets killed, and without Epps giving the lead, most likely none of them would've survived even the military's interaction. Thus showing that the white man is inept, and only the black man knows what he's doing.
Sounds ridiculous, right? That's because it is.

This entire "it's because he's black!" this was laughable at first, and now just sickens me to my core.

To those people who pull the race card on this one...F*CK YOU HARD.

I haven't seen the review yet, but if Roeper gave it a Thumb-Up(and it sounds like he did), then that's all that matters to me.

The guest critic is exactly that..... a guest. They might be an OK critic, but they're still not the BIG one(yeah, that didn't really make sense, rofl :lol:). And if he pulls the race card in his review(which again it sounds like he did) then his opinion matters even less(because anyone who is looking for racism in action flicks like Transformers is looking WAAAY too hard)

Ebert gave it 3/4 stars(and in his review he says he was even verging on a 4/4) and Roeper gave it a thumbs up, and in my mind that's Two Thumbs Up from the only two critics that I actually care about.
