Transformers: Dark of the Moon Review Thread (Spoilers)

[jackwacko]

Watched it, came out, was pretty satisfied.
Was there issues? Less than ROTF, but yes.
Was it a kick-ass transformers movie? Yes.
Is it trying to be a 2 hour toy commercial? Kids would get nightmares watching this thing... It was like Mortal Kombat between Transformers.
Are the twins in it? IN CAR MODE, ONLY IF YOU REALLY FOCUS.
Blue Benz, Red Ferrari? Que and Dino respectively.
-Now here is the really iffy thing for me. Que looked like a totally lovable guy, and he gets blown to bits. His death really didn't have a point, while he actually had some contributions towards the team.
-Dino/Mirage: He exists solely to look cool, on mute. Now i wanna see a toy for him.
Sentinel Prime? His eyes glow purple, good guys never have purple glowing eyes. Him killing Ironhide got me O_O even though I knew it was coming.

Overall, good action movie, great Transformers movie, even better if you're a hardcore geek that can spot all the sci-fi references.

Gosh, watching the movie makes me wanna buy Laserbeak, and not get Sentinel... And god damn it Prime, why are you such a homicidal maniac?

Loved it! I have stayed away from spoilers so the death of ol' Hoss was a real shock! I loved it when Lazerbeak turned into the cutesy orange BB. I want one!!

Just a question though, in any of the companion fiction (comics, novels, etc.) is the fate of the twins and other characters, like Jolt, ever explained?

[Commandoclone87]

The companion comics will definitely clear up any confusion over Jolt and the Twins are missing.

I loved it i thought it was great however i am very dispointed in sentinel prime i feel like smashing my leader class figure after what he did..

All I have to say is wtf Ironhide and wheeljack!

[damani_d]

I have not been on these forums in ages..I regret it lol..

I live in Kitchener and we had an early screening last night (only one show) and the movie was insane..

I did not read any spoilers and I was shocked at the things Bay did with the story line..for sure the best one out of the bunch..one can only hope whomever decides to make the next one can do a good job..

[RodimusMatrix]

Has anyone noticed that sentiel prime quoting spock from wrath of kahn when he said the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. I thought that was classic!

Don't be surprised, at least this time Wheeljack died on screen. G1 movie we only got a closeup of his burned out corpse. Sadly, we didn't get to know him in this continuity.

Three movies and the only ones given an onscreen test are Jazz, Jetfire, Ironhide and Jazz. The others are shown dying only in the comics.

Would have loved if they showed Skids and Mudflap dying in the movie as opposed to Wheeljack... Poor man was hoping they could talk this out over some lovely Tea T_T

Finally saw the movie, will be seeing it again on Sunday, now I understand Megs's death, but way too freaking fast! Like another member said, they are supposed to be equals! Dammit, would a five/ten minute fight have kill you Bay!? No, it wouldnt, instead you showed the humans more than the Bots again!

And WTF? Shockwave? For the screen time you gave him he didnt need to be in the movie. He could have been movie 4 villian.

Loved it though haha, one thing Im really disappointed with is the screen for Megatron. Loved his truck mode, the toy doesnt come close to the awesomeness and how scary it actually looked. Did like how Sideswipe got more screentime and lines.
