Some of the jokes in the movie were not terribly funny but I couldn't help but notice some of the smaller details in the movie, such as the car freshener in Shia's car with the label "Beeotch" on it or the inscription on the police car transformer that said "to punish and enslave." But some of the internet and ebay jokes had me laughing not so much at it but rather at how awkward it all was, such as when Barricade (or was it Barricuda? that police transformer) inquired Shia by asking him to confirm his ebay user name or when asked how they learned how to talk the autobots replied that they had learned from the world wide web or from ebay.
Also apart from Megatron and Frenzy the rest of the Decepticons are rather quiet, apart when they all say "Hail Megatron" or when Starscream tells the Decepticons to move out. And even then Megatron and Frenzy come off as disappointingly dull characters, even though megatron has a few good quotes. Even with the Autobots, Prime and Bumblebee aside the rest of them might as well have not had names in the first place.
And I would also like to know...
And on a final note, albeit undoubtly well mentioned note, the transformation animations are
slick, if I ever had to justify transformers being anywhere near the realm of reality I'd use this film's VFX as a basis for my argument.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
