-Promotion of sexism
-Promotion of irresponsibility
-Promotion of rebellion

You know, etc.

“all she cares about is feeling the hot recoil of his cannons.” Please sir, there are innocents reading this blog; try to keep the language PG.

Besides that, nothing boiled my blood in the movie Transformers like this piece of evil you nailed on the head: “The character Jazz listens to hip hop, but calls himself Jazz.” The nerve!

As for offensive themes present in the movie?
• Promotion of sexism. Megan Fox’s character’s entire purpose in the film was to drape herself about the scenery to the end of being sweaty eye-candy for the junior high boys (and junior-high-mentality thirty-five-year-olds) the film was aimed at. Oh, and to drive a tow truck backwards with no means of seeing behind her.

• Promotion of irresponsibility for the sake of coolness. Megan Fox’s character drives a tow truck backwards with no ability to see what is in her way (her rear-window and mirrors are entirely obscured by Bublebee’s near-carcas). And she dares to command him to shoot? Shoot what? How does she know what he should be shooting. She could be running down injured grandmothers and all she cares about is feeling the hot recoil of his cannons.

• Promotion of indestructibility. When Sergeant McMilitary lays down that motorcycle and goes sliding on his back to shoot a grenade or something into the tanky Decepticon, he gets up afterwards.

• Promotion of U.S. military solutions for everything. Despite the fact that Prime has made clear that he needs the cube so he can destroy it, Sam takes the cube to the military. Even though Prime is right there next to him for a good twenty-minute drive into the city.

• Promotion of rebellion. Sam, despite Prime’s explicit orders, decides to thrust the cube into Megatron’s chest, not knowing whether it will destroy him or give him the power of Unicron. After all, Prime didn’t know what would happen and we had ample evidence that the cube takes innocuous machines and turns them into psychotic killers. Why on earth wouldn’t Sam guess that maybe thrusting the cube into a psychotic killer machine wouldn’t turn it into a psychoticer killerer machine?

• Promotion of poor value judgment. Despite Prime’s honest assestment of human beings as a violent, depraved race, he reverses without apparent cause and decides there’s some good in them and they are more than meets the eye (ar ar ar).

• Promotion of ignorance. Sam is an idiot. And yet, celebrated for his idiocy.

• Promotion of blissful ignorance. Prime believes that now that the cube is destroyed there is no longer any Decepticon threat. Prime has never heard of vengeance or vindictiveness or Plan B. After all, there are at least three Decepticons still on the loose (Soundwave, Barricade, and Starscream). That isn’t even counting any off-planet threat.

• Promotion of lies. The character Jazz listens to hip hop, but calls himself Jazz.

• Promotion of dirty lies. It made you think the hacker characters had anything to do with the story.

• Promotion of damned dirty lies. The Kuwaiti people living in that village (?) would be all palsy-walsy with that company of soldiers after they robot-scorpion-death to their front doors, and let the soldiers use their phone.

• Promotion of fantasy over reality. Sam’s mom would ever say the words: “Sam’s happy time.”

And perhaps the worst offense of all…

• Promotion of poor stewardship. Megan Fox’s character gets knocked off her pristine, late-model Vespa and never once considers going back for it.
