This movie was a ridiculous bloated mess, but I felt there were some redeemable parts scattered throughout. I felt that if the majority of the distracting crap could be cut, then we could have a pretty good action movie on our hands. Preliminary thoughts:

Skids and Mudflap have GOT TO GO! I just cringed every time they were on screen.

I actually thought the little deception was kind of funny, but I’m probably in the minority here.

Cut out most of the goofy humor

The final action sequence went on WAY to long. I really stop caring about what was going on pretty quickly

Sam and his Dad’s interaction late in the film was actually one of the only touching moments in the film. I thought it gave the character some real depth.

Devastator scrotum has to go

use of Green Day’s 21 guns was totally out of place in such a gung-ho, campy action movie. The whole song is about “laying down your arms” and “giving up the fight” which doesn’t fit at all.

CUT CUT CUT. WHole scenes can go that had no story relevance. Also the whole part about the Deceptions having to kill Sam and get the shards made no sense. It ended up being about the matrix and The railguns anyway.
