    Am I the only one who laughed at this? I mean c'mon! This guy is ridiculous, yeah, but he's just going out of his way in a poor attempt to find something racist. This guy is stupid. Really really stupid. Let him think what he wants to think, so far it looks like no one else is falling for this bullshit.

    I guess it's a good think the Twins wernt in the movie because he probably would find some stupid way to make that racist.

    Because Carly's behaviour at the beginning of the film is new to womankind? I've only just read this part and I already know it's a crappy article that is bashing this film because it's a TF film and so needs to be bashed even if it's poorly done and blatantly immature.

    You know what I'll read on

    "We first see Megatron, the Decepticon master-villain, as a refugee-terrorist in the North African desert with, hold your breath, a rag on his head. He growls orders as robot flies crawl over him. I almost howled in the theater at the racism -- Megatron is a “raghead.""

    Ok, this guy's a d**k and should confirm the backstory before making such broad and unprovable crap.

    I think this about the Twins. I don't find them racist because many Caucasians adopt the same attitude in real life. People who claim otherwise are merely deluding themselves. Honestly I don't care if this offends but if people truly believe that non-racist characters (and I say this because I'm 100% sure Bay didn't purposely create racist characters) then it only reflects their own opinions on society. This society that claimed that Jazz was racist.

    What...?

    I literally laughed a few times while reading that. I tend to be somewhat sensitive to this kind of thing, and I didn't understand most of the crap they were saying. Looking at that site a little bit, it seems to be a pretty opinionated site in general.They have what looks to be an article against all religion, and another saying that, paraphrased, "meat-eaters should kill and butcher an animal at least once in their life." Although I am a liberal, and have nothing against liberal sites, this seems to be the extreme left, "Strawman Political (as TV Tropes calls it)" kind of site.

    Really? The fact that a DREAD has DREADS is racist? These critics either need wives or lives.

    You're all a bunch of limp dicked white supremists for enjoying DOTM.

    No, but seriously,
    This Nick Powers... needs professional help.

    As the Russians saying - zheeeeeest ...
    It is how untalented journalists earn ...
    Especially about Bob Marley - this is just awful how funny... :lol 
    How do they suck from the finger such nonsense???
    I'm very interesting, as they believe, what the film teaches FEMALE audiences :) )) (We also went to the movie and not once, this explicit anti-sexist forgot about that...)

    Or better yet; some mothering. I can already picture the scene in my head.

    Mrs. Powers: Nick! Did you call that movie racist because you wanted to look like a hero in the eyes of other cultures despite being a racist yourself?!

    Nick Aww . . . Mom! Let me do my job!

    Mrs. Powers: No! Go apologize to Mr. Bay right now!

    Nick: But-

    Mrs. Powers: Now mister! I am your mother, and you will do as I say!

    *Nick slugs his way out of the room mumbling*

    Seriously though, I have no doubt that loads of other movie critics will read this review and go; "You know, he has a point . . ." We really should prepare ourselves for more of these stupid articles.

    Ah the sad thing is that some people agreed with him in the comments for his article.
