Alright, I had an absolute blast with this movie. I get that some just won't like it no matter what and thats cool but mattesr not to me honestly.
The opening sequence of the movie with the battle for Cybertron was pretty cool. You don't get much of it but having played the game it was neat to see even just a small bit of that on screen. Now, you get into the space race and why we did made the race for the Moon. I personally really enjoyed that part even though it was fairly short. These two bits got me into the movie pretty darn fast.
Seeing, Sam trying to get a job I thought was fine within the movie and glad they had this in. Its a part of the characters development as he grows and its a part of life. I like many know the struggles of being in job interviews and that for me hit home with trying to struggle finding a job right now even more so. Another part of it that really hit home for me was him feeling like he was important but wanting something again that made him feel that way. Again, for me I loved being a teacher and coach. It's a job I do think is important and made me feel that way and I want that again. A job that makes me feel like I'm truly contributing something to society and some of the jobs I've applied for won't give me that. His relationship with his parents was another complaint. I like that relationship to be honest because it reminds me of me and my folks. Plus they're in it for a grand total of like 3 mins so how can it be that bad.
Seeing Megatron all beat up was cool. Dude is still ____ed up from Transformers 2 and I'm glad they kept that part in this one. Before that you get a cool mini battle sequence when you see Shockwave for the first time and that was cool. Then you get the following assassinations which we're cool and helped along with the story line. Ken Jeong getting tossed out the window was awesome but his character could have been filled by someone else and the same for Malcovich.
All along the way you're getting the Autobots finding out that they gotta go back to the Moon. Since they have a spaceship there and Sentinel Prime and the additional pieces for the space bridge.They bring him back and you're thinking alright another awesome autobot to help kick Decepticon ass. Of course Sam with the help of Agent Simmons figure out that oh ____ they're being played like a fiddle. We then get a shocker when Sentinel Prime flips sides and kills Ironhide (my jaw dropped).
We then get the Autobots leaving Earth because the US Govt was being the US Govt and not thinking. Their shuttle blowing up totally made me think of watching the Challenger Explosion. This starts the final battle sequence of the movie which got me personally sitting in the front of my seat.
Sam going after his Carly (who I thought the Rosie Huntington-Whiteley did a decent job to be totally honest) get everything going. You find out of course the Autobots aren't dead and they're ready to kick ass. Which of course is a problem because Megatron, Sentinel, and Shockwave making it a real pain in the ass. I mean they want to bring Cybertron here to make us be their slaves.
You get Prime taking out Shockwaves helper as he's taking out a building. Then you get where you think Bumblebee is gonna get taken out but kills Soundwave I think. Soundwave gets his ass whooped and killed which was awesome. Sam kills Starscream again more awesomeness to the final battle.
Finally, you Optimus and Sentinel fighting. While they're fighting Sam and Patrick Dempsy's character (who is a total ****** bag but played well) fight over one of the beacons. I'm thinking while Prime and Sentinel fight that this might not end well for Optimus. He gets beat up really bad losing an arm, but just when you think he's gonna die (again) Megatron steps in. He had just gotten played like a _____ and takes out Sentinel for the most part. Then Optimus kills Megatron and shows even with one arm he's a badass Autobot then for good measure takes out Sentinel.
Thats a lot of words and retells the movie kind of.
Maybe how I feel doesn't come across well in that. The comedy with the little robots worked for me for the most part, the storyline flowed nicely, the action kept me in it. I walked and I was pumped and ready for more Transformers. As I said if others don't like it thats cool. Thats your right but I ain't joining ya in this one.
