So this will just be a large list of things that struck me about the movie, stream of consciousness style.
I did get to see the movie twice, once in 3D and once in 2D. I liked it better in 2D since the 3D wasn't all that much to write home about. And at a running time of almost three hours, the glasses were getting uncomfortable
Overall the movie was fun, nothing too deep. Was easily the best of the three if your want your action. The first was probably more story. This one seemed to have too much of the humans. The new transformers were just a who cares thing, not like they spent any time letting us get to know them in hardly any way. Que / Wheeljack was just creepy with that head. He looked more like a skull / zombie head than anything else.
I'm sure everyone has heard or read about most of these elsewhere but..
Megatron seemed to be just tacked on, didn't seem to have much to do
Same for Starscream
Star Trek reference at the beginning hinting at Sentinel going bad
Took a human to point out to Soundwave about keeping prisoners
Laserbeak and Starscream drooling over everything
Rosie wasn't as bad as everyone made her out to be
Wreckers didn't do much really, never see them transform that I caught
Skids and Mudflap are in one scene in alt mode if you look close
DVD / Blu Ray already scheduled for the fall
Ironhide supposed to be the heavy hitter of the team, puts up no fight really
Got to see more of Sideswipe after three movies
Got to see little of Dio / Mirage for a new character
Brains was interesting, more so than Que
Deep Wang was funny
The pseudo history thing that they introduced was interesting way to twist things
I thought only Sentinal Prime could use the pillers.. Human turns them back on at the end
Megatron is such a moron that a human goads him in a few words to turn on Sentinel just as he was going to kill prime
Prime becomes blood thirsty and kills his brother and then executes Sentinel.. Seemed like an odd turn of character
Human couldn't penetrate Decepticon air defense. And then an hour later they do it with cruise missiles no problem
Shockwave was a total Dud.. Only saw his cannon fire once.. ?!?
Prime lost his trailer and really needed it back, and suddenly he's flying around..
Prime get's hung up on wires and forgets he has blades built into his arms
There are still a ton of 'cons loose around the globe
Prime only used his cool new super shotgun once..
How did the 'Bots get back from the ocean so fast when none of them fly really
Sams parents are always entertaining
Worm monster was so so, gets wiped out once Prime decides to swat it
Wing Suit scenes.. Why didn't they just come in underwater with the SEALs, seems like they snuck under the radar totally that way
All I can think of for now, but the bots on both sides really need a lot more time making them into real characters. After three movies Rathet hardly has any personality. And when Ironhide goes down, not a mention of him.. Even Jazz got a line of remorse after Megatron destroyed him. This is a transformers movie, they should be more developed than the humans are. It's supposed to be about them. Some of these same people work on Prime, so there must be something else going on with it. TF Prime is much better than all three movies..
Not too mention by the end of the movie, it would seem that the humans don't have much trouble taking down 'Cons. And I had to wonder how they were ever a threat.
And the Autobots are just brutal. The wreckers dismember the enemy, the 'bots don't take prisoners and Prime kills everybody. Who would have though..
3 out of 5 stars
