First of all, Obama isn't a prick, Galloway is a prick. He's been given some degree of authority by the president and is mad with power. It's a common trope in films. If they really wanted to take a jab at Obama they would've done so much more blatantly. Especially taking in consideration that Obama personally appeared for some Viral Marketing bits: http://www.therealeffingdeal.com/blog/obamania-but-will-he-elect-to-take-the-search-seriously/#more-109 and Bay himself saying he's cool with Obama: http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a160272/michael-bay-obama-likes-my-movies.html So yeah, take your "OBAMA IS EVIL" conspiracies up your tailpipe and smoke em. As for Latino Review, Harry "Fat Sack Of Crap" Knowles and all those other movie critics... they're making Mount Everest out of a goddamn anthill. The "offensive" parts they're all up in arms about take up a grand total of FIVE MINUTES on the screen. Out of two and a half hours. Two and a half hours of GIANT ROBOTS FIGHTING. It is freaking ridiculous. Okay, dingbats, time to set some things straight. First of all, Obama isn’t a prick, Galloway is a prick.

I don't even think the first Transformers is really young children's fare either. Both Transformers movies are rated PG-13, though I think the first may have been on the lighter side of that rating. Regarding a grown up movie with toys marketed for kids, I agree, however that's pretty common these days. I don't think Terminator Salvation is a good kids movie, yet there are plenty of toys out there. As a parent, you have to be the grown up and protect your children. My 7 year old is begging to see Transformers 2, but I've been telling him "No" from the start. I'm also going to watch the GI Joe movie before deciding if it is appropriate for my son as well. “i seen tf2 last night and i honestly regret taking my 9 year old son. i also felt sorry for the little kid 2 rows down who cried at one point. the crude sexual humor and overly sexual decepticon has absolutely no place in a movie geared towards kids. that is evidenced by the fact that 90% of the toys are geared to little kids. i hope that the gi joe movie doesnt make the same mistake.”
