Yes, the humans are still going to get too much screen time it looks like, but the sharp rise in the number of actual Transformers is making me happy.  Aso we can do away with that painful first hour where we kept waiting for more Autobots to arrive.

But Sean's exactly right--in most of the robot fighting scenes, you can't make out what the heck is going on. Maybe this was made with the eventual DVD owner in mind. They can watch it in slow motion. (But I won't be one of them.) And of course, the one Autobot who got killed was Jazz, who spoke Jive. The black guy. Talk about your stereotypes! --Jack If it had more robots fighting, and if you could actually *see* what was happening when they were fighting, it would have been a better movie.

I was willing to just have fun with it. Then the mind-numbing stupidity began and just didn't stop. And the sad thing was, Roy, by the time I got there, I was actually softening to the whole idea.

Transformers doesn't come to Japan until next month but i will still see it, of course, and probably enjoy it cause even though I'm a deep and profound thinker I still have a soft spot for mindless films with robots.
