So it's basically just like the first? Does the robot to humans ratio at least improve in terms of screentime or is that the same as well (despite the increased robot roster)? Just wanna know to keep my expectationsin check.
Also, are we once again treated to a pointless subplot similar to the analysts/hacker from the first? Or has that mistake not been repeated this time around?

Just finished reading the comic book adaptation of the movie. I was fine with all of the movie trailers I've seen, but reading that takes away a lot of the hope I had for this one.

I've heard there are two "Jar Jar Binks"-level characters. Is that accurate?

Yes, although they're not as prominent as Jar-Jar, but are potentially more obnoxious.

I guessing you're refering to Mudflap and Skids?

If that was what they were called, yes. But you might as well call them Humpty and Dumpty. They're a total embarrassment.

If it's the two bots that accompany Sam and Bumblebee to Egypt (the so-called twins), then that's their names.

Can someone comment on SOUNDWAVE please? Did he get any lines? Is his voice the same as in the cartoon?

Wikipedia says:
He does not speak in his vocoder-altered voice. Instead, Frank Welker uses his Doctor Claw voice from Inspector Gadget. (Which is actually how the voice would sound without the vocoder.)

Well it makes sense for Frank to do the Dr. Claw voice. Heck, in some episodes of the cartoon there were instances where the vocoder was not applied and he ended up sounding just like Dr. Claw. I'm just wondering why they didn't apply the vocoder or a similar effect given that's part of what makes the character so iconic.

Do we at least get an "as you command, Megatron" from Soundwave?

Soundwave never uses English, he only speaks in the Transformers' native language.
I loved the first movie. Read my HD DVD review. I gave the movie 4 stars. It's a really really really good movie. This is not.

Given that casting Frank Welker as Soundwave is obvously an attempt to placate fans like myself who objected to the casting of Hugo Weaving as Megatron over Frank Welker, it isn't too much to assume they'd keep him sounding close to the original. Kind of like how Peter Cullen, though not having that flanging effect from the cartoons, sounds not too far off fro the G1 Optimus Prime. I expected something similar for Soundwave.

I disagree with this mentality. If you respond then he will respond and that will keep the ball of comedy rolling.

Cool. Please let us know your thoughts afterwards, Ronnie Dobbs. I just wanna see if there are any dissenting opinions.
