Not a lot to say at the moment, since I'm still recovering...

Just... wow...

I almost walked out. More than once. It was a constant array of "It can't get any worse then this!"

And then it did.

I'll probably do an indepth review later, no doubt video recorded. But right now this all I can write without going off into mindless rambling.


Wow...

Yup... there were times when I couldn't even keep track of who was killing who, Optimus' "fall" was wholly without emotion or impact, and upon his return, he dispatched the bad guy with almost no effort. John Turturro HAD to be embarrassed about his performance...yeah, too much to list. Giant pile of crap of a movie.

It was like a parody... Why else have every single person in this film be a comic relief turned up to 11? Or barely show your title characters?

The entire fight from the first movie is covered up.

Umm... how?

"This is a covert team, working in secret..."

Yeah, one that drops 16 wheelers out of planes like it's an everyday thing...

A transformer that can turn into a human.

Umm... again, how?

Jetfire can teleports them across the world (how?) then just disappears with no one mentioning it!!!

Five Transformers turn into one! ... To fight two loser Autobots and two humans, who kills it with zero effort in under three minutes.

The Decepticons announce their existence to the world, then do nothing at all.

"US President wants you off Earth!"

Umm, what about every single other country? (But wait, we have that covered, cause the only guy here who voices that this is a negative and isn't part of the main cast is English! Huzzah!) Grrrr....

Soundwave humps a satellite for the whole movie.

Why are new born/created Transformers evil?

The fight scenes are just a bunch of shooting in the desert, with the rest looking like they were shot during smeging Cloverfield!

Won't The Beef be seeing crazy images for the rest of his life...?

...

GOD DAMN IT I HATE THIS MOVIE!!!!

Caboose: The last time I was shot I got a purple heart. Yeah, I hope this time I get a purple lung. You see, eventually I hope to build an entire purple person. And we will be best friends.

Saw it a couple of weeks ago. Even the Transformers fans among us were bored to death by the end. The film is FAR too long. It is just a relentless sequence of quick-fire action scenes and a plot that seems to have been made up as they went along.

The camera letches over Megan Fox so much it's actually embarrassing. We are told constantly (yes, even by robots) how hot she is, just in case we didn't notice.

Its racial stereotyping is just plain offensive.

I'm convinced Michael Bay must have received funding from the US miliray because it almost comes across as a recruitment video. Check out this awesome F22, this mean-looking 4x4, this cool railgun, these badass soldiers!!!

Contrast that with the xenophobic way Johnny Foreigner is portrayed. His helicopters get shot down straight away, and he has a midget in charge of the border control point! LOLZ!!!

To say it's an action film the action scenes are completely uninvolving. There's no tension or drama, no episodic sequences, and the camerawork and editing are so awful and cut-up you can't tell what's going on. The guy cannot direct.

I love big action Hollywood blockbusters as much as the next retard, but this film was so bad it made Terminator: Salvation look good.

If there's anything good to come out of the film it's Optimus Prime kicking some Decepticon ass in a forest (the one action scene that DOES work), and Jetfire's amazing and inexplicable Yorkshire accent!

Now I must respectfully disagree, I did love the movie such as one of my favourite scenes ever was the fight with Optimus Prime vs Megatron, Starscream and Blackout. I had never smiled so much during a scene of a movie ever. Im a fan of the original series and there are major differences between them and the movies but I dont care :D
I do agree that there was some wierd stuff such as what you stated and at the begining with Megatrons resurrection "5 objects going down" 1 robot gets killed and ripped apart to fix Megatron then "6 objects coming up".
I do look forward to yer video review though, that shall be mighty fun.

About what you say with the military, it is true. After the 1st movie where all military vehicles were Decepticons the U army came in and said they wanted a more positive role for themselves.
