Hallowed is the All Pie The Before Times: A Place That Celebrates The World That Was
Watching Tf3 for fun was okay but watching is as a long time fan of transformer since childhood was such an unbearable pain...
1) watching shia le bouf is a pain to my ears, i find he was super annoying acting all angry during the movie...all he does in the movie is shout "BEE!!" or "OPTIMUS" and they being his bit*hes come running to save his ass...i mean common, look at the way he treats bumble bee like his own personal dog...
2) The plot is 100% out...there is no consistency between any of the 3 movies...i blame Bay for this...
3) The design of some transformer is beyond me...dissapointment at some design...devastator comes to mind...omg he was my favourite combiners and they utterly destroyed his form into a colorful dog like animal thingy with vacuuming powers... Que/wheeljack design was so...ugh...But the only bright side for this part is shockwave design which is so BA...
Spoiler:
Unfortunately All the villains in the movie died like flies...in meaningfulness death...the part where the dumb blonde gal went to find megatron i was hoping he would squish her instead of entertain and talk to her but nooooo she was the one who would tell him to kill sentinel prime...i mean he is freaking megatron who doesnt need dumb blondes telling him what to do...that part ruin all of megatron for me...plus the most screen time he had was to get his ass kicked by optimus and head sliced off...wtf...
For me a movie called transformers should feature "TRANSFORMERS while humans take a side kick role...no more stupid shia le bouf human roles...MOAR TRANSFORMER!...
Only problem I had was the fact that megatron fell for err....whoever the replacement for megan fox was supposed to be's plan. I mean....really? But I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I expect to see nemesis prime for the next movie....or unicron (but no goddamn galvatron or hotrod, I hate those guys....)
You're not playing the game like I play it...why aren't you playing the game like I play it?! O_O
Speaking of Latta, his daughter is getting into voice acting. She played Animated Minerva at the Botcon script reading. Did pretty well, too.

I saw it recently, pretty well done for what it's worth. Shockwave definitely looked interesting, but his dialogue was "meh". I personally thought Megs was insane, considering he yelled at elephants. Score was still amazing, Steve Jablonsky is an amazing composer. One last note, Lazerbeak is one cold turkey!
But something more important I noticed: Apparently M.B. thought his movies weren't deep enough, which he translates into: not enough betrayels. So now we have at least 4.
Spoiler:
Sentinel Prime betrays optimus, megatron betrays sentinel, human boss dude betrays other humans, Sam betrays autobots with stupid watch thing

Sam had no choice... it hacked his CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Five. Michael Bay betrays audience with three terrible Transformer films.

I was glad to see the humans playing more of a role in this movie
gotta say the part where sentinel betrayed them was predictable, so was the part where the autobots supposedly leave and get blown up but *SURPRISE* they didn't really leave.
There were some parts I thought foul, like the part where they get rid of Ironhide, that was a low blow. Starscream's death was well deserved and long in coming, so was Megatron's although I'm sorry to say that their dialogue wasn't all that impressive for the movie. Sentinel's death was predictable although I've got to say that the inevitable Prime versus Megatron battle was majorly anticlimactic, it felt like the writers rushed that part because they were trying to make sure everything fit into two and a half hours.
It was entertaining and in true hollywood fashion it snubbed fans here and there, but if someone can name me a movie made from a former TV show series/videogame/book that was 100% accurate or done 100% right I'd pay em money.
It was worth two and half hours of hard splodin, machine crackin, entertainment and ten bucks for a movie ticket, that's all I'm gonna say.
Literally everything you've said is how i feel.....are you me
One other thing, did anyone else notice that no-one really cared Ironhide got not only killed, but somehow 'rusted' to death so he couldnt even be brought back? Seriously, no-one even mentions it....struck me as a bit odd.

What's funny is that now that we know the Matrix can bring the dead back to life, anyone who dies excpet for SP disintegrates to dust (including people) as if the makers of the film are trying to vaguely avoid the plot question "why doesn't Optimus just revive them?"

Ummm, I dunno,I've got some distant relatives who live in the UK, maybe ur one of them? In that case, a hearty hello from the states bro
I kid, I kid, but about that second thing...
I think it had to do with one of SP's special powers or something, as it seems that only he was able to deliver a blow like that...

Firstly, the killing of humans is a staple when a Decepticon is on the screen, its how the director allows people who know nothing about transformers figure out who the bad guy is, he comes on screen vaporizing humans left and right.
Second, every single one of the transformers that dies in the movie isn't rusted in the same way Ironhide was, though nearly all of them get blown or chopped into tiny little pieces, or in megatron's case, gets a transformer battle axe shoved through his skull before he can so much as say "We meet again, Optimus." So in that way, yes, they explain that the transformers can't be revieved, although I think to do that they would have to find all the pieces, rebuild the body, and (at least in the movie's logic) zap the said transformer with the allspark which I'm not sure what happened to.
I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the part where the humans took down the decepticons with smarts and skill. When will the aliens learn that we're very good at killing stuff? We've been doing it for 3000 years or so.
I never watched the old series, I don't care too either. I like stuff blowing up and airstrikes and giant robots fighting each other and that's what I got. I certainly didn't go to see some oscar worthy movie (those usually suck anyway, with some exceptions)
What sticks out most in my mind was the part where they're in the little control room and someone is like, "All our satellites are jammed, we have no satellites!" or something along those lines, and then in the very next scene the one guy shouts, "Get me GPS on that robot!!" and of course not having any functioning satellites isn't a problem.

I looked it up before i went to bed last night, apparently the answer is this, so there is precedent for the rusting death, but it does seem very convenient now that resurrection is possible.
@WARORK:
That would be funny, but AFAIK i dont have relatives in the USA. Still suspicious though......

Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them.
