Re: (SPOILERS ALLOWED) Transformers RoTF Your Reviews
The use of lowbrow humour seems to be a point of contention for ROTF. And I believe that I’ve said low brow crap has no place in an ROTF. I want to recant that and say that lowbrow can have a place in all movies, even a transformers one. But the actual lowbrow humour here was misplace, cheap and just so lowest common denominator it was embarrassing.
The low brow stuff here was just such garbage in “this” movie. Assuming you like the lowbrow stuff its can actually be pretty funny. But assuming you like it the lowbrow humour here would be funny in any movie.
- Two dogs humping
- A mother on a brownie trip
- calling someone pussy
- tasering someone in the balls
- leg humping
- guy walking around in his boxers
- girls facing crushing guys balls
- acting failing to like they’re black (ie wigger)
etc.
That shit would be funny if it was in any movie. If I was watching Star Wars, or the Godfather or Schindlers list, and I saw someone getting tasered in the balls, first I would be like “wtf” but I would laugh, assuming that I laugh at that stuff. In word association when someone says transformers is anyone really gonna answer “humping,” or “pot,” or “pussy?” Lowbrow or not is a matter of taste. But good humour, even if lowbrow, would have commented on the Transformers or the situations they were in. Even though I didn’t like it. BB pissing on simmons at least tuned into the characters. This movie had a few moments like it, like the “testicles,” which I would have appreciated more if it didn’t feel like they introduced devastator just to make that joke.
