Best part of the Hobbit one is the use of Michael Jackson, esp. Remember The Time.

So I have to say it: free from plot, the CGI battle scenes in T:AOE seem very cool. I won't pay to see it but when it comes on HBO, can anyone make a hack for Cisco DVRs that will just produce a CGI battle only supercut?

The addition of the star wars planet explosion with the John Cena theme needs to happen.
I may curl up and watch this chauvanist piece of garbage just for the CGI battle scenes - they look pretty epic.

dorque: "Lost it at Thranduil."
To be fair, Thranduil is pretty funny in himself, as a Google Image Search for "all aboard the party elk" will show.

Michael Bay made four of them, released them to theatres, and made a jillion dollars.
Really. There's not a whole lot else in those movies besides occasional sprinklings of racism, misogyny, and Shia LaBoeuf saying "Nonononono" over and over.

I freakin' love the Auralnauts; the fact that that bit bled into most of the others got me almost in tears. Sort of like SNL's Dear Sister short. (and all the awesome parodies that came just after, most of which, sadly, are now gone.)
Also, the Spine Song was just... perfect.

Wait, they made a Transformers movie with Mark Wahlberg and Kelsey Grammer and it still sucked?

Looking at their IMDB's, how is that a surprise?
I mean, I like Marky Mark, but he's not exactly a Daniel Day-Lewis.

That's part of the genius, they do that in the Hobbit video too, where the "Gandarf" thing keeps popping up.

I've always wanted to improve Transformers by making it a musical and mashing it up with Les Miserables:
Damn their warnings, damn their lies
They are robots in disguise!

Fun fact about this film: even if you fast forward through about 90% of it just so you can watch the SFX scenes with the Transformographagizers fighting and transformographagizing and the like, the way I did, it is still a painfully incompetent and cringeworthy piece of shit.
