Yea, the whole thing the critics are nitpicking about... they're not important. What's wrong with the film is the bias towards the Autobots. I felt like I was watching a Decepticon Hunting Season, those guys didn't stand a chance, except for maybe in the Forest Battle and that ruins it for me since I like to see fights when you can't tell who's gonna win. An autobot or two should have gotten killed, and not like how Prime was. But then again this movie was just promoting cars and toys.

[Vange1us]

Indeed, and the more I thought about the film after seeing it, the more I felt sorry for like 99% of the Decepticons. XD I mean hey that's kinda cool with the whole "heroes aren't as heroic as they act" style of plot, but I have a feeling that wasn't intended, hehe.

I'll respond to some of the statements

2.33 - well, can a tiny fraction of cyanide ruin the entire dish for you?

Ex-agent Simmons was AWESOME.

14.31 - Very yes to the whole "wasted" part

19.32 - Agreed again.

Megatron - he actually CONSTANTLY USES HIS GUN. Unlike first movie.

[Vange1us]

It wasn't cyanide so much as a sprig of trash coleslaw. XD

Thank you for mentioning the tie-in fiction. As a colorist on all the movie fiction that's been out so far, it kinda bites that it feels overlooked- especially since it does explain a few things in the movie(I agree that it's co-dependence on tie-in fiction is a fault that the movie had). Extremely rational and intelligent perspective on the movie; I felt like this was genuinely a review from a real Transformers fan, and not by some shouting idiot(be it for or against the movie).

[Vange1us]

Hey- I've got nothing but appreciation for all of you guys that worked on that stuff. :D

Many thanks for the comments, what you say you got from the review is basically what I hoped to provide.

[SEANxLONG]

OMG! This was the most intelligent & enjoyable review of ROTF I've heard! Vangelus I respect you so much and agree with you in your review! Thanks for being so unbiased about this movie :)

Also when you said that you and your pals made the joke that once Optimus was revived BoneCrusher fled and was never heard from again, my thought was once Bone Crusher saw that Optimus was resurrected he was like:"F*** this I'm out, I refuse to get decapitated twice." Before he transforms into vehicle mode and drives off.

[DemonicRemption]

@Vange1us It was a 26 second fight by my count, and as you described it as a "Fist Fight between Jet Prime and Robotic Satan himself"I do find that pretty sad.

I feel like the Transformers films would've been a lot better if they were shot like a really like OVA, or even as a more expanded trilogy. I'm not huge on Transformers, but I just feel like there were too many characters and too many little details to cram into three two-hour-something films.

is it weird to say that i cried a bit when optimus died

[wakeangel2001]

I don't hate Skidds and Mudflap because they're racist, I hate them because they're idiots, and they hog screentime away from other far more interesting transformers like Sideswipe. Also I don't really dislike the aesthetic, except for what they did to Arcee, that was the worst design ever.

when where there robot farts?

[Phantom9252]

1) I am a fan of the movies; 2) Yes, I agree that some extra 5-second scenes or 1 extra line of dialoge would help clear up the movie a bit; 3) I think that movie Optimus Prime was just a bit to grizzly; 4) I would have liked more IronHide and SideSwipe action; 5) I don't like how SideWays was portrayed; and 6) the reason there wasn't more Devastator was because he is expensive as hell to animate, that's also the reason he was almost never shown in full, only close-ups of different parts

[TheOmegadarkness]

hey dispite all the things good and bad about the movie we do have transformers 3 to hope on

[aerospace]

@CrazyCricketSteve I'm really looking forward to the 3rd one....I have the feeling that the 3rd will be the best out of all 3
