Saw it with my wife and oldest 2 yesterday. Loved it! I am slightly pi$$ed off at the story that was on Yahoo last night. There are certain people that claim two of the autobot twins are stereotyped as African-Americans. There is a red car and a green car that talk slang as they "learned it from studying Earth's languages on the world wide web", to quote the movie. It was done as comedy and has no direct correlation to stereotyping. In fact one of the voice actors is Reno Wilson who is of African-American decent. I am sure that if he felt it was in any way stereotypical he would not have agreed to do the voice over. Jeez, gimme' a break, it's a freakin' kids movie. Part of the problem with racism today is because people go out of their way to look for it in any situation. Sorry to rant but man, how stupid can you get?
