Hes shooting closeups of her ass half the time. If she was a year older, it wouldnt have to be in the movie at all, but for some reason she had to be underage.

Ill always be amused that a two-second bit is the only thing people focus on in these movies.

Personally I love the giant robots kicking the crap out of each other (like in the original cartoon, which Im also a big fan of), buuuut thats just me.

There is 5 main movies, and a spin-off. Why you ask? Because they are successful.

Michael Bay (or whoever) have a weird sense of humor...

Bumblebee was really short.
Every time i watch the blu ray the movies over after about 10 minutes.
Its like Prime sees Bee take off and the movie just ends.
You'd think the movie would be longer.

No. Walhberg is mad she didn't tell him she had a BF. The government comes after them and her boyfriend saves them.

When they're all on the run, Walhberg pulls him to the side and brings up that this is statutory, but the guy schools him by bringing up the state's Romeo and Juliet law and Walhberg is all like "fuck, I'll be damned"

Certain states have (varying) laws saying an adult can have sex with someone below the age of consent so long as the ages are within a certain range. So, hypothetically, an 18 year old wouldnt get in trouble for banging a 16 year old.

Fuck, Ill be damned. I guess it is a subplot. Seems like they could have just ignored all of that. Kinda creepy that they didnt. Kinda like, hey guys, heres something to google when you get home!

Oh okay. My state has that where if there's a 4 year difference it's fine. A 14yo can bang a 18yo if they want in my state

The odd stuff that goes on in movies even the whole Romeo dating rule in Transformers makes you wonder think about the type of person a movie writer or producer really are in person behind closed doors.

Dont care if extreme horror directors are "nice" in person like Cronenburg or Clive Barker. Pay attention to the demented stuff in Nightbreed and Hellraiser etc.

You really want to hang around people like that?

Probably added at the last minute after some ratings board noticed the age difference and threw an R rating or worse at the film.

No, theres a 3-year age difference between the actors. Either the writer or Michael Bay made a conscious decision to make statutory rape a plot point for no reason.

Im assuming it was Michael Bay.

Literally all I remember from the movie's characters is that Michael Mark and daughter are about to be killed and then out of fucking nowhere, the boyfriend stunt drives up in his sports car and saves them even though there's literally no reason that he should know where they are or that they were even in trouble.

I still can't get over the fact they made a decepticon turn into a hot girl. Since when can they emulate people?

I always thought it was ridiculous how many cool (and ridiculous) things the decepticons could turn into while the autobots were just limited to ground vehicles.

Because they could have just written the character to be 18 but instead they wrote her younger, then sexualize her and spend time justifying it. It's pretty weird and completely unnecessary for a transformers movie.
