God DAMN that movie was good, saw it this afternoon.

My favorite part i would have to guess right now would be the part where all the military vehicles and good transformers were all cruisin down that road with the dramatic music goin on their way to the city.

Best movie ive seen in a while, for sure.

Will be seeing it again this weekend maybe with my brother, if not this weekend then another time very soon

I guess I'm the only one, but I didn't think much of that movie. I expect a good sci-fi movie to stimulate my mind as well as my senses. I found TF to be too predictable with a weak storyline. The CGI grafics were incredible and flowed seamlessly into the filmed portions. The fight scenes were very good, but I expected more.

I'm trying to think of the last SF movie I liked, and probably the most recent was The Thirteenth Floor. T2 was great, but T3 sucked.

Ill be honest there was a flaw in the movie ,and that is size inconsistency, i know its hard to do, but i mean it didnt ruin the movie, just a little snag some movies like to have. For instance, bumble bee is as tall as a skyscraper in the first scene you see him in robot mode, then at the end hes barely bigger than the towtruck.

If that means when the AC-130 was laying fire onto Scorponok's ****, I agree. That was sweet. If a 105 and a 40MM BOFORS can't get your attention, nothing will.


I don't remember Bumble Bee being skyscrapper tall.

When you thinkg about it, all but the smallest Transformers, should be at least 30 - 40 feet tall. Most cars are 15+ feet in length, trucks over (or near) 20 feet. anthing transforming from a length that great, should stand between 20 & 40 feet tall. Optimus should be at least 50 - 60 feet, and jets like Starscream should be even larger than Prime...

Seeing "Prime" do that breaking turn on that two-lane road was sweet too. If a driver really did that, as opposed to CGI- that was hella cool. I'd think something that top heavy would roll over, rather than slide so perfectly.

If I wanted to, I could nit pick it- but I enjooyed it- it was entertaining, so I'll let well enough do. I doubt any other producer/director could have done it any better.

Did you notice teh air freshner on Bumble-bee's rearview?

It was shaped like a bee, and had BEE - OTCH on it... LOL

No, I think he was referring to the scene where Blackout wipes out the base in Qatar.

I agree with you, the AC-130 scene gave me one hell of an adrenaline rush .

"BRING THE RAIN!!!" Ooooooooh......gave me goose bumps.

Yeah, the only thing crazy about that scene (which was awesome by the way) was the dialogue. Clearly some folks don't consult with military advisors when they make movies with military story lines- but...

I find it highly irregular that that controller woudl tell those guys to stand down, or "we will kill you".

We might say, "We'll use deadly force" or, "We will open fire"

We will kill you? Uh, no... A professionial solder would not say that- even if the end result and the statement is true, it would not be communicated in that manner.

I was just happier than a pig dipped in dog poop when the Warthog's rolled in, then the AC-130... that whole sequence just kicked butt.

I loves me some A-10!!

I noticed that one too and I was never military. It just sounded really odd.
Also would they even let the boogie land? Isn't there a safety zone and if they cross it, especailly after being told to turn or divert course, then they are shot down?

There were a few other that struck me as odd and non typical protocol too, however what is protocol for attack by huge robots from outerspace.
