^ They're all on goddamn ball-and-socket joints than a child could pop in and out. I'll take that over the immobile jointless bricks that were all the '80s could produce in toys of that size...and that would still probably break if you held them by one arm and shook them. You just wouldn't be able to fix them once that happened.

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal.

The difference between Transformers and a toyline like GI Joe is that often with a Transformer you don't know which parts are supposed to move, and in which ways, and which ones aren't. Therefore it makes sense to design them in such a way that parts will pop off easily (and then be popped back on just as easily) rather than breaking when the wrong kind of force is applied.

Here is a prolonged review from The Amazing Atheist.
'Alright guard, begin the unnecessarily slow moving dipping mechanism...' - Dr. Evil

'Secondly, I don't see why "income inequality" is a bad thing. Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid

That's now my favourite review of this abortion of a film. :D

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

I don't agree with everything they say about other movies (like Indy IV) but I agree with most of what they said about this heap of gimmicky, vulgar shit.

I have to disagree. Yes it dragged at times, yes the story was so convoluted and bad it made my brain hurt to think about it, but I like it anyway, the fights were good, and that's all that mattered

Spending half an hour watching fat, outraged, nasal nerds pontificate in poorly-edited explosions of nerdrage is awesome. Someone needs to make a movie.

Even my review for collectiondx was filled with less neckbearded rage. Although it did have valium fueled rage.
