  • Megatron got dicked over in this movie :(

  • I missed the film in the cinema when it came out, but got it on DVD and watched it last night. To be honest, I was a bit let down by it. It had FAR too much human involvement in the first half and FAR too much Transformer involvement in the second. After Ironhide's death, it was nothing but all out action and fight scenes. I did enjoy it, but as you said, it was a film with a lot of flaws.

  • Comment removed

  • Optimus does mention ironhides death.......

  • @DuLucasH30 At what point?

  • pause at exactly 0:15

  • This movie pissed me off in so many ways. Autobots dying, decepticons too, SHTILOADS of decepticons, and what seems like fewer autobots then the previous films. And Sentiel Prime..oh boy..don't get me started.

  • at 0:5 - 0:6 you see bosoms knocker boobs

  • same opinion as me n my homie

  • gettin chunky

  • You said what I thought about the movie (sec.18). But you haven't mentioned Shockwave and his Dune-worm.

  • *MegaTRON

  • Not much robot on robot action. Megaton gets about 15 minutes screen time. Meh

  • its hard to care about ironhide cause he was on screen 5 minutes before he died

  • we need a reboot and this time do it right. i now say a happy farewell to bayformers for ever dont let the francise it you on the way out !!!!

  • i wish shockwave had more scenes.

  • your video cracked me up si - you can be very amusing you know! great review :) Nat

  • Did anybody see barricade or was it just me

  • @dyansisrules I knew I was right, others were saying I was wrong when I mentioned it after the movie.

  • @dyansisrules He was there. He killed Wheeljack

  • Is JJ Abrams sign on for next film then?

    Go and see it again! I went to see it again but Imax this time and it is a better watch second time round.

  • They should just revert back to where the TRANSFORMERS were just fighting on Cybertron. In the beginning of DOTM where the ship was just flying around, that shit was fucking nuts.

  • I wanted the movie to end with, ' I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, we are here, we are home'.

  • the thing that i think ruins the film for me is the lack of any real character in the transformers, i didnt care when ironhide died or even notice when none of them mention it after. I wouldnt have cared if bumblebee died or even optimus died again either. I kinda feel the same way as simon though, i did enjoy it in a bad movie kind of way. Also did anyone else think that it was miles too long, like an 30-45 mins could have been cut out and not lose anything?

  • American used the autobots to attack Iran, how wonderful. U.S.A saves the day again

  • You know, what was TRULY annoying about Bumblebee being captured in like 25 seconds is that he ends up effectively killing off the entire team that captured him....why didn't he do that in the first place?

  • yes spoil me

    save me 25 dollars

  • why the hell did soundwave sound like The Claw from inspector gadget....I know its the same voice actor but still it wasnt soundwave to me it was the claw....next time bumblebee next time!!

  • Jetwing prime is released outside japan but your not gonna like this only in australia. It's on Hasbro aus website

  • I feel the same damn way in regards to Ironhide. They cared about Jazz when he bought it. Why not Ironhide?! Such a shame.

  • when i saw it i felt like hitler... er... i mean micheal bay when he made this movie mad it seem like or it may be just me that it was like the 2nd movie didnt exist and this was a replacement for that one...

  • I liked it but i was a bit dissapointed that all the decepticons went down like a bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • Simon, I hope you're aware of Jetwing prime, personally think it looks MUCH better than the Ultimate Prime. Just not sure in terms of if it's getting released outside Japan.

  • nice hair bro.... and great review

  • I thought Brains redeemed himself by the end of the film. I am still kinda confused as to where he showed up from, though. I enjoyed how the smallest characters you expect the least from actually did the most. Carly and the minibots did more than Optimus did, really.

  • It is so nice to hear you again....

  • awesome vid btw

  • im sorry, my eyes were focused on the puppets making lasagna....wth was that btw?

  • one of my complaints....its so looooonnnnggggg.

  • You should describe what you think is a "good movie"

  • I still don't see the racism thing. Gangsta speak isn't a race trait.

  • Really enjoyed the film as well. I didn't see the plot twist with sential Prime coming even after having read the movie prequel comics which spend a lot of time building up Prime, Sentinal, Megatron, Shockwave and Ironhide's characters, will have to pop the trades over for u to have a look Si as they are worth a read. Oh god Sam was a whiny bitch for the first bit of the movie, but Carly was far Superior to Megan Fox, in both looks and actual acting ability

  • Comment removed

  • I live 20 minutes from Detroit..the ghetto-slang, is all over the place. I wouldn't call it racist at all.

  • @grimsdyke i find it highly offensive

  • what do you think of what prime did megatron

  • background 2010: Moby Dick. it may be better then Dark of the Moon. just saying.

  • Another thing I want to say Shockwave is not voice by Corey Burton that annoyed me and that Soundwave got more screen time however was it me or did it remind me of The Ultimate Doom episode with being Cybertron to Earth

  • I love that line. "Someone's baking...it smells like apple pie...I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not. lol

  • I'm glad they didn't kill bumble bee... all we need is a "headless repaint of the 237 movie toys

  • I haven't seen the movie yet but read the novel. I was upset about ironhide's death I wish It would have been bumblebee. I was disappointed that shockwave was all built up being on posters and all that then not really being mentioned in the book more than 2 or 3 times. I though the book was awesome and can't wait to see the movie. Haven't seen it yet because I'm broke till Friday. Will see it ASAP :)

  • Hey Simon, may I ask you a question did you actually play the DOTM game as it was a buildup to the movie, it does explain a lot like how Shockwave arrives on Earth, Megatron badass truck form.

  • being 17 i dont see why people dont like the films, personally i loved it, however i do agree about sam being annoying and the death of ironhide being a shock, i loved the film personally, which is more than i can say for my girlfriend who fell asleep ¬¬

  • Lets hope JJ Abrams gives the transformers franchise a reboot, like he did with Star trek, Bay should never have been allowed near it, Good action movies though, but at the end of the day the Title of the film is TRANSFORMERS not HUMANS.

  • Has anyone notice it has the same stories to G1 episodes? one were they tried to bring back Cybertron to Earth it reminded me of those episodes, I also remember a storie were humans turned they're backs on the Autobots and sent them away. I thought they might have been the same episodes might be wrong. Another floor I noticed was the sudden apperance of all those Ship's felt like I missed a scene. also Bumblebee still without a voice i didnt like this time. .

  • @TOMMYFARRWALES I noticed them too.

    Bumblebee's voice...annoying, a decent explanation in 1, a kind of shit one in 2, and in this one, no explanation.

    Surely after that many years(?) he would have had his voice fixed. Surely!

    But no.

    And yeah the sudden ship thing was a bit of a WTF moment, I thought that the projector had skipped something...

  • Just seen it today, and after ROTF I said to myself "I am going but not expecting much", best decison ever made because I was surprised, and I shall admit it, I enjoyed it and will get it on DVD.

    I didn't like how Shockwave was handled, I couldn't hear a single bloody word he said, if he even spoke English, that's my minor issue.

    And you are quite right, I hated Michael Bay for ROTF, but this movie certainly showed that he did put some decent effort into this one.

  • When the Transformers are on screen its great but the lame human humor goes on too long.

  • One thing I didn't like about it was how the Wreckers were featured prominently in shots during filming and toys, yet the appear little in the movie itself.

    Sam's parents - Unneccesary

    I too didn't expect Sentinel to betray the Autobots and to be killed by Optimus.

    Overall I enjoyed it.

  • i loved it :)

  • Simon! It looks like DOTM has divided the community quite sharply in terms of reaction :) I just went for visceral reaction, which I must admit took me a while to identify. I came out uncertain, then on the walk away from the cinema, started to realise I hated it. I hated it for so many reasons, and more of them keep coming to me; it was, for me, worse than being just technically bad, it was insulting. It's evocation of the Challenger explosion, 9/11 etc were just hideous. Then we have the...

  • @ExaggeratedElegy

    ...blatant misogyny, racism, bizarre characters, nob and gay jokes...gah. Just couldn't get on with it. Some good trailers though :P

    Hope all's well,

    George

  • @ExaggeratedElegy Chalenger explosion? 9/11?

    So we can never have a spaceship exploding again, or building colapsing again because someone might get offended by it? If that's the case, i like motorcycles to be banned because i know people getting killed by it, or smoking. Don't forget it's a movie about giant alien robots, you can't expect that nothing will be harmed.

    On the other hand, you might have speen the spoony one's review of the movie, and made that your opinion.

  • @Majinhero

    Errr, no; Bay's attempts to draw those parallels are fairly blatant. It doesn't exactly require a great deal of critical analysis to percieve them, since Bay has all the visual and symbolic subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face. And it's not a matter of including the imagery or the allusions that's offensive; it's the fact that Bay does so not for the purpose of commentary or deeper analysis, but purely for the sake of evoking synthetic emotion in a plot utterly devoid of it...

  • @Majinhero

    ...then in the next couple of seconds starts up once again with the cock and fart jokes, the lascivious lingering over the female supporting cast's breasts and legs etc etc. Other movies evoke similar imagery, but do so with a damn sight deal more in the way of gravity and respect than this exploitative piece of garbage. as for the Spoony One's review, if you check my channel, you'll find that my review, which states my opinion quite explicitly, was uploaded before his...

  • @Majinhero

    ..besides which, I am quite, quite capable of formulating my own opinions. If you disagree, fine, but don't do me the damn disrespect of misrepresenting my position just because you've got nothing genuine in the way of counter-argument to bring to the table. 

  • I didn't find any apsect of this film enjoyable. In fact I came out of te cinema with a physical anger towards it.

  • bullshit

  • Im glad you have the Mortal Kombat movie on hand.

  • Damn man, I felt exactly the same way about the movie as you! Actually, i left the theatre pissed because i did forget to turn my brain off before entering. My girlfriend was like, "What were you expecting? It's Michael Bay.". And replied, "I know, I know, it's my fault!"

  • I agreed totally with you on all you said,but i commented on other reviews and i will here,and i don`t know if i missed something,but nobody seems to miss the absense of Silverbolt in the movie.

  • Great review Silverbolt! Very well thought out. I shall remember to take the "plot" of the movie with a pinch of salt as opposed to a pound of sand!

  • what about shock wave i wanted to know a little about him

  • @abominus566 You probably took more time typing your question than he spent on screen!

  • Me and my brother were trying to figure out why Ironhide's death was pissing us off. Thanks for bringing that fact to light for me.

    As for the film, I do agree with alot of your opinions except I thought it was great. May have been the lack of sleep or being at the midnight premiere, but I really thought it was exceptional. Of course, again, we have Revenge of the Fallen to compare it to xD. My only wish is to end Optimus' and Megatron's rivalry stronger... I really hope there's a directors cut

  • =P You sound in denial about liking the film.

  • Dark Side of the Moon would have been a better film name in my opinion. Then again, I've yet to see it so maybe the title has significance.

  • If M. Nite Shamalan made the movie it would be pure shit. The man hasn't made a good movie since The Sixth Sense.

  • I really didn't like the voices of the Wreckers...I almost wanted to hear Redneck Southerns not Asshole British soccer hooligans. It just didn't fit them. Dino had a Italian accent it fit. Does Britain even have NASCAR?

  • @TheInsanemonkeyboy ..... No we do not have have NASCAR. The closest we have to that is Touring Car racing.

  • @Vampyre000 Which is better IMO I don't care for NASCAR all they do is drive in a circle.

  • BTW, I watched the movie on a normal theater screen in good old 2D and had no problem following the action. In fact It was the easiest out of the three movies to follow in terms of action. The IMAX 3D combo might have been your problem.

  • Ahhh! I recognize that movie playing behind you, it's the awful MOBY DICK 2000!!!! Anyways love your review silverbolt, great to hear your opinion even though was hoping you would talk more about shockwave lol

  • the moment I walked out of the theater I said it was the best of the three movies made, they didn't have the slow build up the first two movies had with only maybe a tidbit of action. The extent of the human camera time felt like it made more sense specially in the second half, it was their world, they were fighting to keep themselves free, it felt like they had more at stake then the other movies. on another note it was good to see that bay dropped the twins and added the wreckers.

  • I had almost the same exact feelings you had about the movie. I enjoyed it but had some problems with some parts of the movie. I think Ironhide and the ending or lack of ending/ closure of the movie was probably the most I had problems with. The visuals were amazing though and I loved the CGI special effects and animation.

  • Best of the Transformers movies BY FAR, and I loved all three!

  • One thing that I didnt like was that Sential Prime had his earth truck body on the ark and didnt have a cybertron body

  • It was a interesting film to see done.

    Bay is a great visual and action director. But i eagerly await the eventual transformers reboot that can take the franchise in a serious direction.

  • I just got back from seeing it. In the first one my second TF get's it and this one my first.

  • New Camera?

  • And was it Apple Pie? WAS IT APPLE PIE???

  • You slipped into Irish at 16:30, lol. And referencing Mortal Kombat......Yes.....Yes....Tha­t is EXACTLY how I feel about this film. I am going to convince somone to buy me Sentinal for my Birthday :D, So I will let you know what he is like come AA :D

    I like this film a lot....It has made up for ROTF A LOT :D

  • Loved it.

    Thought there was a bit of a plot hole in the film though, but it was better than RotF.

  • I'll be seeing the film tomorrow.

  • i agree with the human involvement, there was way to much, but i did enjoy it, but i would have liked shockwave, soundwave and megatron to have had more involvment.

  • I also did not see Sentinel turning on the Autobots and I was Like Ironhide nooooooooooooo but when he died he rusted what did Sentinel shhot him with. Also They didn't give a crap about Ironhides death but when Que died Bumblbee did try and grab him when Soudwave was taking him to be executed. You should of talked about Shockwave see you at AA

  • wow.... 26 minutes... only 2 and a half more hours and it would have been the same length as the movie itself! :D

  • @jon3pnt0 three hoyurs

  • Watching review, watching review, watch...

    24mins approx: Did that plane just fly into the mouth of a giant snake?

  • @EVOLUTION117 Looks like the Syfy channel, odds are it's one of Asylum's lame "Mega snake vs. Ultra turtle" garbage movies.

  • saw the movie on wednesday it was my birthday and this movie was bloody amazing

  • i just got bk myself. loved the movie though i thought i was a lil dark
