RE: Transformers takes swipe at Obama, by name?
The last Batman film was filled with Pro-War on Terror, Anti-Al-Quaeda, Pro-Patriot Act, and by extension, Pro-Bush Administration symbolism. Most reviewers loved it. Ebert gave it 4 stars.
Dark Knight Reflects Cheney Policy
Ebert's Dark Knight Review
Not everything is a political conspiracy, seriously.
Is it possible that the movie just isn't that great?

Quote:"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.
The plot is incomprehensible. The dialog of the Autobots, Deceptibots and Otherbots is meaningless word flap. Their accents are Brooklyese, British and hip-hop, as befits a race from the distant stars. Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up. They are dumb as a rock. They share the film with human characters who are much more interesting, and that is very faint praise indeed.
Seriously, people over the age of 14 actually waste their money on this stuff?
I think the above bold words above and/or they are 14 or under mentally are both acceptable answers to your question.

If there is a REALLY GOOD LOOKING Girl in this movie that is scantly dressed during most of it, then it is worth a waste of time if you have nothing better to do .... you know .... like Robs who is a Professional Couch Potato.
AND SEE ROB's, I left Obamagog out of this post !!!!!!
Well I guess I didn't did I ????

Girls wont get Robs into the theater, he's got it bad for the Cheeto bandit, Obama. Oops, I can't seem to not blame Obama in every topic either. Wonder if I will still have this problem after he has left office.
Edit: damn it, Obama was the topic. Never mind.

A classic mistake made by politicians throughout history. It never works, yet so many keep doing it.
