The Romeo and Juliet Laws scene was one of the most blatant perv scenes ever put to film. I mean, even Japanese anime is more subtle than that. Not so much in content, but in the intensity of wanting the scene itself. "I want this controversial relationship in the movie, no I do not want compromises like making her older, and this exposition scene right here explains why this is okay and that I'm not a pervert. I'm gonna include a printout in case anyone needs to read the whole thing..." ~ Michael Bay (probably) Honestly could've just ended with "we started dating in high school..." and just left it at that.

I'm glad you took so much time to focus on the underage dating scene. There's so much wrong there, not just with the situation itself, but in how much detail the writers included in order to justify it when they could have easily just had Tessa be 18 and called it a day. These movies have been a guilty pleasure of mine (even as a big G1 Transformers fan), but that scene deserves to be ridiculed and lambasted until the end of time.

The studio should have you watch all of their movies and present this kind of video to them after you see it. If you are able to go more than 6 minutes on anyone movie then they seriously need to rethink about how it is edited, acted, and directed. Forget focus groups all they need are you two guys. That's you and your twin brother who looks amazingly similar to you. It's like looking in a mirror.
