re: List the Plot Holes in Transformers 2(Obvious Spoilers)

Just because a movie is sci-fi does not mean all logic, rational thought, and decent dialog should be set aside. Suspension of disbelief does not mean suspension of taste or suspension of any criticism.

People that give a pass to Hollywood simply because a movie is a big budget summer film are part of the problem.

The person that came up with the term popcorn film should be sent to hell for eternal kicks to the crotch. A bad film is a bad film. Popcorn makes it no better.

A summer movie can be sci-fi and not have 11000 plot holes. Sloppy writing is sloppy writing no matter how much money or how many explosions you toss in a film.

For all the people that keep saying anyone that goes to a movie like this expecting better deserves what they get.

Nobody walks into a movie hoping it will be crap.

The first Transformers movie was not bad. The second one was a caricature of the first one.

i thought it was a let down how the Constructicons were introduced. they did not show that the 5 bots that made Devastator were also individual robots. they just made him from 5 different pieces of construction equipment.

Not trying to argue, but the Smithsonian they were in was actually 40 miles away from DC, even though they said they were going to DC, so it is still a major fail.

my friend saw it and said there was a massive geography fail when they characters are in Jordan and then suddenly see the Egyptian Pyramids after running for a while. Apparently Israel and/or the Siani Desert don't exist. He said he LOL'ed in the theatre at the mistake, but "the mouth-breathers around him" probably thought it was perfectly fine

Yeah, I noticed this also in theaters. Major fail by the editing team.

You would be suprised how many people go to the Air and Space Museum and wonder where the hell the SR-71 is..

We'll agree to disagree then. I agree with you, in principle, on a few things. But overall, Transformers 2 was made to make money and entertain. That's it. It wasn't made to be geographically consistent, or have no plot holes. It was a gigantic, corny, in your face explosion-fest. And it accomplished that, to the tune of over 833 million dollars at the box office.

See, I agree with that, except with shite like Tf2. You knew going in exactly what you were going to get. So you donating your money to a movie that you knew would likely suck is the problem, not people who saw it to kick back and watch shite explode for two hours.

This is where you are dead wrong.

The first movie had a much more cohesive plot without half of the problems and random crap they did in the second movie.

How based on the first movie, am I led to believe the second movie would be so ridiculous as to be a caricature of the first movie?

I am sorry. I never walk into a movie expecting mind numbing sloppy writing nor will I ever watch a movie with such low expectations.

Once again, just because it is sci-fi does not give the writer, director and all involved a free pass to be sloppy.

Transformers 2 was Transformers 1, just with a few more plot holes and more gay shite (like the ghetto cars, robot balls, pissing oil, pot brownies, etc.) crammed in to make it more over-the-top.

The first one was a huge cornball fest, had its own plot holes, and was largely presented in a "don't take it so serious" manner. The second one was exactly the same thing, just with more outlandish shite to try and top the first one.

Sure, some of it the mistakes are laughable. But it was exactly what I expected it to be. Maybe I just went in with the right expectations, who knows...but I will stand by my statements about Tf2 and those who didn't like it.

ghetto robots and robots with testicles

Thank you. That was my biggest gripe last summer was not people saying how horrible T2 was or saying it sucked, it was movie snobs telling me that I was part of the problem with Hollywood.
