I only watched it because my friends wanted to watch it. As usual, Michael Bay’s movie gives me a headache. So I spent most of the movie watching with only one eye, as my right eyes and right head suffers migraines.
The fact that almost all decepticons looked a like didn’t help. It was very confusing near the end when there were multiple of them fighting.
The most enjoyable things are the new people and the call backs for me. Alan Tudyk, woot woot! I am almost certain that whole Alan going ninja was a Firefly tribute. For that alone I can almost forgive the movie for giving me a headache. I’ll remember to forgive it when I can see straight with my right eye. There was Jeff of Jeffster from Chuck in there too, loved it. McDreamy was very mean. I kind of wished all his antique cars were Transformers. That would have been awesome.
The new female lead is… well she didn’t do much. At least the last girl was a mechanic and she kicked ass. This girl just stood there. She literally just stood there in one slow-mo pan, where I had no idea what she was staring at… Why do we need a female lead anyway? I think the only one who would have missed a female lead is Michael Bay.
That Cybertron teleportation reminded me of the finale of Smallville when apokolips came.
The plot is alright. Serious holes exists, including how did Alan Tudyk’s neck heal so fast. Most of it was told in the first 45 minutes. The rest was a lot of CGI and explosions. As Thunder said, better than Transformer 2.
