I do wish they would have taken the plot a little further than what everyone already knew.

I also thought it had a bit too much "campiness" to it. There were parts that were downright cheesy which, to me, ruined it for me. Even certain cartoons of the Transformers were more serious in nature.

The 3 sexual references/scenes were unneedful, stupid and gratuitous.
Using "Jesus" in a flippant manner is inexcusable, but right up there with trendy Christianity. They simply mimicked what a CHristian today may just say in that instance - hey, they are wearing those bracelts still right? WWJD?

My wife thought it started out well, and then went into cheeze-wizz.
I thought it started out serious, got a bit campy, and then tottered at campy/serious.

Still cheering for Optimus Prime.
