245->First the lights all around the prison get blown out by some ''mysterious force!'' ... It's only then that we get the real action, when a bunch of the golden rings from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' blow up a fence. Obviously, this is what magnetism looks like. And also, 'magnetism' is the natural force that just straight up makes things explode. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm starting to think 'Jim Carlson' and 'Terrence [=McDonnell=]' might be pen names for [[Music/InsaneClownPosse Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.]]

253
254->There are so many plot holes, unstated motivations, and damn confusing sh*t that you think the original plot was simply three words ''“[[ExcusePlot Blow sh*t up]]”''. The writing for the action scenes are like a stoner version of Can You Top This.\

'''Got!''' '''''MICHAEL! BAY!''''' And we got too fucking greedy! We got too fucking greedy! You wanna know why? '''Cause he kept shoving the fucking explosions down our throats!''' Until now they doesn't even register. What's an explosion now? You know what an explosion is? An explosion is like a light breeze going across your face.
