I really liked it. The best one out of the three. I did miss Megan. The other girl is pretty too though, but she just didn't have the look of the part. Megan is sexy and can be pretty as well, but she brings a action type girl flavor as well. This chick, not so much. But overall it was a good film, with some really good laughs, and some nice action scenes.

First off its pretty crazy how they edited in the decepticon so seemlessly. Second, they had to replace a scene because one of their stuntmen died during the chase shoot and he didnt want to use that footage.

While there was an accident, it was a serious injury that resulted in the extra being paralyzed on her left side. No death was involved.

Still, you can understand why they didn't want to use that footage.

I did watch it earlier today and I like it, much much better than Fallen.

The fight scences are much better and you can see who is fighting who and less shiny bots. Oh yes, more violent and close up of parts chop off.

I think there will be another sequel and major change in the next one.

Since Megatron is dead, who will be the new leader? I hope they bring back Soundwave and his two little robots.

Did any of you stay after the credit? Anything good?

I don't know how they can do a sequel unless they go with Unicron or something.

Megatron is dead, Soundwave is dead, Starscream is dead, Shockwave is dead, etc etc. There are no prominent Decepticons left unless you start going down the Unicron route.

Also, Bay has said he is done with Transformers and so has LeBeouf. If they ever do another Transformers movie, it will be a complete reboot.

Maybe but you can still tell somethings are aimed for kids like the two little autobots in this third film. Bay also said the third movie would be filmed 2D and quickly said it would be 3D showing he does not have full control over "his" movies.

Actually, he said he didn't want to film in 3D because he didn't think 3D cameras were suited to his style of filming which is pretty quick and dirty. Then he had a company demo a new 3D camera which was lighter and smaller and he realized he could work with that. Even then, there are some scenes filmed with 35mm camera and converted to 3D in post-production because the 3D cameras wouldn't work for them.

My biggest issue was Who the Fuck is Shockwave. Where did he come from, why wasn't he in the other movies? Cause his giant ever growing worm thing that raped a building would have been useful in the other movies. Also where the hell was it hiding? how did it get from Ukraine to Chicago and nobody noticed? does the damn thing tunnel through the planet? Wouldn't somebody notice that shit?

Shockwave actually didn't come into the original series until late. In the series, he was on Cybertron while the rest of the Decepticons were on Earth.

WTF happened to Soundwave? Did Cybertron not have an atmosphere cause the "planet" just looked like a big space station.

I'm more surprised that you didn't complain about putting one celestial body close to another causing serious gravitational problems. Wouldn't Earth have been torn apart having something so massive that close to it?


Did they really need to have robot Nemoy quote from Two classic sci-fi franchises (one being a famous line spoken by Spock)?

Not really a spoiler, but...
because Leonard Nemoy voiced Sentinel Prime?

Why use the fucking wingsuits when the SEALS seemed to come in on the water with 0 casualties....

Supposedly Bay put them in the movie after seeing the suits in action.

What I don't get is what would have happened once Cybertron got here? Would they just collide, killing everyone on Earth? I don't really get how they were supposed to merge 2 planets together. And Cybertron was so big and the portal so close to Earth that they would have collided before Cybertron was even fully out of the portal.

Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. But the thing that surprised me most was how well the three d was snow.

This CG showcase is a retard for those who can pretend they're retarded while watching it. Those who can't fake it shouldn't watch it.

And, I know a guy who said that he shed tears for he was very touched.............

agreed. Also I do not see this as a negative of the movie to copy the scene since you I did not realize while watching it and it is what maybe 30 seconds of the movie that is over 2.5 hours long.

awesome movie with awesome special effects. kind of would like to see it again. the 3d was very well done IMO, very subtle instead of trying to throw it in your face. probably the best 3d i've seen next to avatar.

Transformers not a reboot;kicks of second trilogy

Producer Don Murphy explains that ‘Transformers 4&#8242; will kick-off a second trilogy of films, continuing the current series and will still include a human cast.

Definitely my favorite of the 3 since it has the most action and the most blowing stuff up...

Still LOL'n at those who are trying to critically analyze this film for deep plots, character building and acting instead of taking it for what it is...it is a movie about good/evil robots that transform into cars...

Watched this film yesterday, I actually really liked the bits where there were no Transformers on screen! The rest was the usual Michael Bay bullshit. The last 45 minutes was appalling shit, basically the bit in Chicago, no talking, no plot, just explosions.

John Malkovich was great.

you went to go see a Michael Bay film and are appalled about no plot and explosions???

Seriously? WTF were you expecting? Maybe you should just stick to Mamma Mia or the Notebook then...

Way to fall into his trap. You do realize he's a troll right? Your reply is exactly what he was looking for.

Ok so Im just going with that Cybertron was weightless while it was in the teleportation field, or that it was a hologram until it was completed/destroyed

Megatron could come back, its not like he hasnt been reborn before... Maybe a Fallen can come back and revive him or something kinda like what Optimus did for Sentinel. He already had those little robots repairing (?) him no reason they cant keep doing it, they are freaking robots why cant they just reboot his HDD in a new robot. Cough Galvatron cough.

Maybe a trip to Cybertron and a story with Unicron vs Primus where Galvatron tries to awaken Unicron, and the humans are a key role as Sam or w/e the next version of energon appears as and has to go to cyberton and save it from Sentinel's and, later Unicron's, destruction.

My impression was that Cybertron was destroyed when the portal shut. It seems like they were trying to finish the series for good.

You don't need Megatron, Starscream or Shockwave.
Skids and Mudflap are still around!

I figured only the part that was phasing in was destroyed rather than the entire planet. Maybe it would turn into a Unicron + Galvatron vs earth/Prime + Primus. Remember Energon cannot go away, it only changed forms, so its plausible that its still somewhere on earth and could fix Cybertron
