After reading the reviews of Transformers due to language and sexual contact I won't let any of my family see it. GRR Why does Hollywood have to take kid cartoons and make it so horrible my kids can't even see it!!!

4|1|Transformers came out when my 24 yr old was 3...|petunia1|sweetpea39@comcast.net|17:57:48|06/24/2009|
the show was on TV & nothing lIke it is now. They have to know little ones would want to see it. Maybe the sales will be low enough they will start to get the message
Sorry :( 5|2|Posting the language & sexual review I read|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|18:07:24|06/24/2009|
[Note: The following sections include spoilers.]
Sexual content:
The first time the Transformers motored into theaters, Plugged In was dismayed by the film's sexual content. This time around, we're appalled.
Let's start with Alice, an apparently beautiful college student with an eye on Sam. Alice tries every way possible to seduce the lad. She dresses in the sultriest of outfits and makes sure Sam gets the best possible look at her attributes. She coos and pouts and makes suggestive comments.
And when all that doesn't work, she straddles him on his bed—obviously intent upon having sex—starts kissing him and "reveals" more of herself, so to speak. But Alice's big reveal isn't what Sam has been led to believe. A metallic appendage snakes out of the bottom of her dress (we see Alice's panties) and then out of her mouth (her tongue is still attached to the end). She's a Decepticon with rather freakish sexual intentions, it seems.
Indeed, the Decepticons as a whole have grown more sexualized since the last movie. One huge robot displays two dangling orbs that are meant to resemble testicles. Another, smaller critter wraps itself around Mikaela's leg quite suggestively.
Speaking of Mikaela (played by Megan Fox, widely trumpeted these days as the most sensual new star in Hollywood), she sports short shorts and cleavage-bearing tops throughout the film. Frankly, she'd seem more at home in a skimpy swimsuit calendar than in a shoot-'em-up actioner. When Sam goes off to college, he and Mikaela talk about going on some Internet dates—complete with candles, music, special outfits and the suggestion of X-rated online hanky-panky.
Scads of other sexual distractions surround Sam at college as well. Walls are papered with pictures of beautiful women (including some in bikinis), and the university's halls are brimming with attractive co-eds (and leering, ogling guys). A college party features some scantily clad women dancing seductively.
Elsewhere, the Witwicky family dogs are shown twice having sex ("You'll see a lot of that in college, too," Sam's dad guffaws). His mother talks about how she heard her son lose his virginity. She also fantasizes about skinny-dipping, assumes a garbled call is an obscene prankster and refers to her husband as both a "dirty old man" and a college professor ("I'll do anything to get an A," she coos). For his part, Sam's father slaps Mom on the rump.
Characters also make crass references involving testicles, pubic hair and other intimate body parts. Two people end up unconscious in a compromising position. A professor flirts shamelessly with students. Leo, Sam's roomie, asks if he can watch Sam and Alice have sex. A group of humans walk by a store that appears to have a neon sign saying "Porn" in the window. And we see a character's nearly bare rump while he's wearing a thong.
Revenge of the Fallen's filmmakers likely spent more money on explosives than many third world nations spend on food. The film is loaded with guns, grenades, pyrotechnics and mayhem, and it's a rare moment indeed when audiences aren't subjected to something being bashed, smashed or blown up.
Much of the action involves machine-on-machine violence, and we see Transformers skewered, squashed, ripped apart or nearly chewed up, all accompanied by copious amounts of gushing oil.
Humans—at least those with speaking parts—aren't subjected to quite that level of carnage. Sam gets the worst of it: Captured by Megatron, he's held down on a table and told he'll die painfully. One tiny, slimy robot slithers into Sam's mouth, and we see tendrils wiggle in his nose. Another robot brandishes a wee rotary saw, preparing to cut open Sam's skull. And when Sam, Mikaela and others run through a battle zone, Sam is nearly killed by an explosion. (We see him lying apparently lifeless, blood caking his face).
Several characters get tasered. A man gets stomped by a robot. Sam's mom is attacked by a kitchen appliance. And when Decepticons sink a submarine and a battleship, we hear screams as the ships goes down. In the worldwide havoc unleashed by the evil robots, we're told that the death toll for one day of carnage hits 7,000. Scores of soldiers and civilians are collateral damage, even if we don't actually see most of it.
Language content:
Revenge of the Fallen doesn't use any f-words, technically speaking. But we hear plenty of barely disguised euphemisms for the word, including "freaking," "frigging," "frick" and "eff" (as in "what the eff?"). The word "pork" is also used as a suggestive stand-in for the f-word. Other profanity includes five uses of the s-word and 20 or so misuses of God's name. We also hear "d--n," "a--hole," "b--ch" and the British profanity "b-llocks."

7|2|The first movie had no where NEAR the amount of sexual references or language as this one|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|20:00:49|06/24/2009|
"Women should not have children after 35. Thirty-five children are enough." - anonymous (Only 28 to GO!) 8|1|I remember having trouble finding age appropriate movies & video games for my son when he was little....|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|20:08:46|06/24/2009|
It seemed like I had to pre-view & monitor everything cuz if it wasn't cussing, it was vulgar language or sexual content in just about all of it. :( Since my son learned at a young age that some people swear but that HE was not to, it got to the point that I finally allowed some movies w/swearing only. The really hard part tho was if he'd spend the night at a friend's & that friend's parents allowed their child/children to watch movies that were not appropriate for young kids. Yes, I knew the parents & honestly didn't think they would allow stuff like that as we'd discussed just such things & I was led to believe they too found those types of movies inappropriate. Foolish me! I believe it happened 1 time each w/2 of his friends & there were no more overnights at those places. Of course I was made out to be the prudish beeyotch but I was so ticked at those parents I didn't care. LOL I distanced my son from those 2 & now, after all these yrs. later, I'm SO glad I was the "prudish beeyotch" cuz those 2 boys have since gotten into a ton of trouble, w/the law & at school - 1 of them not even being allowed to participate in their h.s. graduation ceremony. I'm sure it wasn't the movies that contributed to their behavior but the overly permissive parents.....
Please identify yourself in 1st email. If I haven't traded w/you before, I will require *legit* trade references & will gladly provide the same.
9|1|the movie is 144 minutes long, perhaps it's really not as bad as it sounds............|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|22:09:42|06/24/2009|
that's 2 hours and 24 minutes........ that's a LONG movie. all people are differnt and different things (scenes) rub people the wrong way. i will definately lyk (kristy) if i think it's something kids under the age of 13 should be allowed to go see. hth

10|2|Nah I won't bother.. after reading plugged in and listening to our local DJ.. no way for my kiddos|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|22:17:06|06/24/2009|
"Women should not have children after 35. Thirty-five children are enough." - anonymous (Only 28 to GO!) 16|2|What does the length of the movie have to do with the content?|KellyJef|burke3536@yahoo.com|08:04:58|06/25/2009|
that's 2 hours and 24
>minutes........ that's a LONG movie.
All that means is that the garbage is drawn out for even longer so how does that help?
17|3|what i meant by the length of the movie is.........|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|09:11:11|06/25/2009|
for instance, the review kristy posted states that the word sh+t is used 5 times in the movie........ over the course of 144 minutes it's said basically every 28.8 minutes and perhaps that's not as bad as another movie which may only be 110 minutes and says the word 10 times which would be basically every 11 minutes.
also, the "sexual content" may not be as "bad" as posted by the person who wrote the review, how long are the scenes? are they 1 minute? 5 minutes? 10 minutes long? we see these sexual inuendo's on television all the time and some are far worse than other's.
all i was saying was that i would let kristy know MY opinion on the matter and how i would feel if it were MY children going to watch the movie.
after posting i would do that she says she's not interested in my opinion, and that's fine. :)
