Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

It's strange to hear the Dinobots seem like an afterthought when they were hyped as a major part of the movie. Also that Grimlock doesn't speak when his toy does and like Grimlock should.

Seems the movie is following the G1 universe story line

Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

Just got back from seeing the movie. I didn't have high expectations and I actually quite enjoyed it.

The dinobots were kinda cool but I wish they had more screen time.

The man made bots' cube shifting was really lazy and looked terrible.

The product placement was blatant, obvious and very annoying.

All the explosions looked like fireworks going off.

I wish they didn't make Optimus a murdering psychopath. Kids are supposed to look up to him.

They dropped an "F" bomb in the movie. Totally unnecessary and I wasn't expecting it. Com'on, there's going to be kids in the audience.

I was totally hoping Marky Mark would break out into a rendition of "The Touch" at some point in the movie. Missed opportunity people. Missed opportunity!

My favorite part of the movie was the Rainbow Dash cameo. I like how they included something for the bronies.

Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

My score...

-pre-Optimus scan: 9.5/10
-post-Optimus scan: 5.5/10

At the beginning of the movie, you FEEL for poor Ratchet, you FEEL for poor Optimus, you're SCARED of Lockdown, and you CARE for the human characters. But all that goes away after Prime scans his new truck mode.

Autobots don't behave like Autobots should, no respect for life, Bee is now some kind of teenager douchebag and not very important, Hound becomes an annoying parody over time, Drift switches between 2 alt modes for no reason even though he's not a true triple changer, other than Lockdown, Decepticons are just souless drones, Galvatron is pretty useless, Dinobots are poorly explained (if at all) and don't even talk (althought the action with them, especially Strafe, is pretty cool), after being so awesome, Lockdown suddenly steps back for no reason, the way Decepticons transform is just insulting, Bee scans his new alt mode for no obvious reason, Tessa becomes useless, Optimus suddenly flies without any jetpack, Autobots first got back into action out of nowhere, etc. That said, I'm not sure the casual viewer will care about all that stuff.

Personally, I thought the action was cool though, and I liked how Drift used Liam Neeson's official French voice in the French dub (the one I saw). I would have liked it better if it would have taken longer for Optimus to find his Autobot companions (one by one?), and the discovery of the Dinobots should have been more epic.

Oh, and Jablonsky's score was probably the weakest of the franchise. Nothing memorable there.

Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

The Autobot dialogue was awful. Prime saying "kill this" or "they are all going to die" was very out of character. Crosshairs was an asshole, and so was Drift.

Speaking of which, he was a damn triple changer. Could have done way more with that.

Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!

Where the hell was Galvatron in that last battle? If he was in it may be the vehicons would have had a shot. Speaking of them, I really hated the whole building block transformation of Galvatron and his vehicons. Uber lame block swarms and horrible dialog. I didn't think prime could get more murdery after dotm but he really did. I liked the 3d better in dotm. Aoe had some great action scenes, lots of explosions and upward panning to a teenage girls butt like all bay movies. You really have to shut your brain off at the door again. Some really great action/battle scenes.

They should have called this movie
Tf4: autonomous robotic murder porn.

Personally I think this film was better than all the other three films combined! Yes it did have a lot of flaws, Galvatron was a big disappointment for me and not having a real point in film only just to be there, the whole meeting of the dinobots felt random and rushed. Everything else like all the action scenes were awesome as hell except the constant explosions from Bay which was to be expected. The gravity beam from lockdown's ship was a complete cluster fuck of a scene but everything else in film was epic! My rating: 7.5/10

What a terrible, terrible movie. Although I dislike bay, I don't say that because of bay, I say that because of the lazy plot, script holes and general overall what the hell of the entire movie. And Prime is a serial killer.
