*SPOILERS TO FOLLOW!*
I saw this last night, and HOLY CRAP! This movie FREAKING ROCKED MY WORLD! I had high expectations for this movie, and it blew those away. I have no problems with the movie at all.The CGI and special effects were some of the best I have ever seen. Optimus Prime was everything I wanted him to be and more. His design was badass, I loved it. The flames were so cool. The metal plate across his face when in his battle mode was just perfect. I loved that. He was THE leader of the Autobots. You just knew he was. His leadership was amazing. My favourite scenes with him were when he rolls up to Sam and Mikaela, and transforms... HOLY CRAP I THINK I SHED A TEAR! That was just plain old awesome. And then of course when he fights Bonecrusher on the freeway. He just kicked his metal arse like nothing. Then he freaking stabs Bonecrusher in the neck and rips his head off. Pure Prime.
And then a couple lines that Prime speaks. "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." He said that at the dam. That whole scene was amazing. And then where he says "One shall stand and one shall fall." I loved that. I was very pleased with the character development with Prime and the rest of the Bots.
Bumblebee was great. He was a real soldier. He was a courageous Bot. It's sad when he is taken by the government. You really care about him and what happens to him. You hope that he will come out alright. And sure enough, he does. And then the part where he is fighting alongside his comrades against the Decepticons in the streets of LA. His legs get ripped off from the rubble that falls on his legs. Again, you care about him and what happens to him. It was neat when he gets on the back of the tow truck and rides along and still fights. You see that courage once again. Ironhide, Ratchet, and Jazz were great as well.
The Deceptions were great. I loved them. They were some tough mofo's though. I think it would have been nice to see Star Scream trying to thwart Megatron and his plans, but that is okay. That will be explored in the next film, no doubt. Barricade was probably my favourite Decepticon. He was just really cool I thought. Black Out was a mean fighting machine. He took out that whole military base like nothing. What a menace. Star Scream took out all those freaking jets, what a cool scene. It was probably one of the best Decepticon scenes in the whole movie. All the roles of the human characters were nailed perfectly. Shia played Sam flawlessly. He was Sam. That was it. It was great. And Megan Fox as Mikeala... what a fox she is. I think she is my favourite actress now.
I give this film 4.5 out of 5!
GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!
