My girlfriend is African-American and had NO, ZERO, problem with the twins. She has in the past, stopped watching a movie or show that she thought was racially offensive. She told me before the movie started if she was offended she would leave. She was shocked after watching the movie that it was being made out to be an issue. Granted she didnt like the movie, but she had no issue with the twins at all and in fact thought they were funny. I think its time for white movie critics to stop trying to tell the rest of us what is racially offensive and what isnt. Epsecially if you arent even of the race in question. Make sense ?

Worst written review I've ever read… I seriously hope that your other reviews refrain from drastic amounts of capital letters, the word "freaking," and hypocrisies such as calling yourself a "tard" and then saying that the whole "twin robots" concept was offensive. Seriously reconsider your career, please.

Not to mention one of them had a f'ing Gold tooth! And then they made them dumb and can't read. It was over the top racist. And I'm not one who sees racism in everything. At one point while writing the review I was going to go into is it really "racists," or are we being racist ourselves for automatically ascribing this type of crap to black people.

I can't believe that you liked Revenge even a little bit. It was even worse [and much louder] than Year One – a cinch for many Razzie nominations.

Mat Rex: the reason that Michelle saw the twins as a black stereotype wasn't just their hip-hop patter – it was the voices and accents, both of which have been Hollywood shorthand for "dumb black kids" for practically ever. That's a very specific voice. The only reason I didn't mention it my review was that there was so much wrong with the movie that I just couldn't get everything in or my review would have been three times as lon as it was – plus, I knew Michelle would pick up on it, too.

If you fell asleep during the first one, why on earth would you see the second one??

I've dealt with loud kids in movies. All you gotta do is tell them to be quiet. If that doesn't work go get a manager and have them kicked out. I work at a movie theatre so it's easier for me to kick out loud movie watchers. I really hate loud people in theatres.

Save yourself the trouble. Everything that put you to sleep in the first one is back and doubled in this one.

i wouldn't even have said anything to the mother; i would have simply gotten up, gone out to the manager, and either the manager would have asked them to leave if she couldn't control her child, or i would have asked for a refund or pass for another show time. that's probably what the lady did who left saying she couldn't take it anymore—asked for a refund. if the child was that rambucntious, people would have missed hearing parts, which would have taken away from the movie. glad it was you, and not me 'cause mom would have had to leave.

i fell asleep when i saw the 1st Transformers, woke up, and it was still going on (and i never fall asleep at the movies). i'll be going to see this one though, and hopefully stay awake for the whole movie.

I knew someone would pull the race card on the twins. They were robots who were like teenagers. I have seen and heard a lot of teenagers in today's society that are Caucasian, African American, Mexican, Indian, etc…. (You get the idea) that talk ghetto. Just because someone speaks in a "ghetto" manner everyone assumes it was a shot against African Americans, get over it seriously. The Ghetto exists, Ebonics exists, poor people exists, non-educated punks exist….and guess what? Everyone has them! To call is offensive, I'd have to say you're being exactly what Skids and Mudflap called the guy in the movie….a pussy.
