Bernie Mac? Oh dear..

Any hope that this movie would avoid as much slapstick and cheesey one-liners as possible has just about faded away..

Good ol' Bernie Mac... this film's going to suck, huh? *crys* Oh well, at least I have Halo 3 to look forward too.

I don't know, I think Mac will make for a good used car salesman. I just hope he only makes a cameo and his character doesn't reoccur throughout the movie. The movie is looking a little human heavy, which could be an issue, let's hope they try to keep things in moderation.

Humans are cheaper actors than Decepticons.

It's a $100 million movie. I don't think they're going cheap by bringing Bernie Mac onboard.

Well recently, the Island was pretty good. And he's done some great movies like Armageddon and Pearl Harbor.

I wouldn't call Armaggeddon "good" -- and Pearl Harbor had two other directors, so you can't contribute it all to just him... and I also wouldn't call that a good movie Smile

Car salesman, Autobots, I don't know, I mean there is a very good chance it is not just a cameo appearance. Think about it. Anime catgrin

He was da bomb in Ocean's 11 & 12; and I love his sitcom. It won't be as bad some people may think.

So this means that the movie is going to become a little more humorous now?
