Revenge of the Fallen, Anyone else Dislike?

I can’t believe they brought out the toys and then didn’t put them in the movie

Unlike most other Transformers series, the characters who appear in the movies are developed _before_ the toys. i.e.: they're developed by Paramount as movie characters first, and then HasTak goes and engineers them into toys. All other toys in the movie line that don't appear in the films are toys that Hasbro then goes and makes to offer more toys/make more money, but that's got nothing to do with Paramount with a _few_ exceptions like:
+ Movie 1 Arcee (based on an abandoned concept design)
+ Wreckage (also an abandoned concept design for the first movie)
+ Characters with alt modes from the movie (e.g.: Landmine, Longarm etc.)

The movie Skywarp and Thundercracker toys were developed by Hasbro independent from Paramount. The movies are not like most other TF series which primarily exist to sell HasTak's toys - the movies were made as movies, and HasTak then made toys as merchandise for these movies, like other movie toys (e.g.: Star Wars, Dark Knight, Terminator etc.)

Hatchling is a better word than Sparkling.

I've never heard of the term "Sparkling" used in Transformers before. But I agree, "Hatchling" does sound better than that. When I hear 'sparkling' I think of white wine or something that glitters.

Some of the human stuff was embarrassing – ie the pitiful scene where Sam’s Mum gets stoned and where Wheelie ruts Michaela’s leg and she says to Sam “at least he’s faithful.” Please!

+1. The stoned scene was the _worst_ for me. (T_T)

Sam’s parents come across as goofballs and that was a shame. I couldn’t really work out how they happened to be at the pyramids either

The Constructicons captured them in Paris.

* Best line in the movie: “Starscream, I’m home!” That kind of made it worthwhile!!

Yeah, not ALL the humour sucked. There were some actual funny moments. Check out the thread about what we do like about RotF here
