You know, I wasn't even really bothered by the overblown action, large cast of human characters, tiny robot roles, and butchering of TF lore and character alike... Heck, I LIKE most of the human characters, at least the Witwickys and Simmons... it was the stupid toilet-humor and annoying/racially stereotypical twins that really killed it.
Does Devastator need balls that dangle and clank together?
Does Sam's dog/Wheelie/everything else need to go around humping people's legs?
Does Sam's mom need to be high all the time?
Did the Twins need to be retarded caricatures of rap video stereotypes? Did the movie even need Jar-Jar-esque characters like them at all?
No.
I'm all for humor in the franchise, it was a big part of the charm of G1, and some of the later series, but this is not the right kind. TFTM was alright in that aspect, aside from the piss joke(
), but ROTF just took it way too far.
Smarten up, Michael Bay, stop acting like you're in middle school. Take a lesson from High Moon Studios.
I haven't even bought the DVD yet, because I have no huge desire to add it to my collection... that says something.
