I kid you not. For me, best movie of the year. Though I love dramas, I also love me some action, so if your the person that needs high levels of plot development and A-level acting in a Michael Bay Transformers movie, then I suppose stay away. Party poopers.
But I literally. Literally. Had an Epicgasm. You know your about to blow, but you can hold in a little longer, longer than you anticipated, and when you finish, is it is just fantastic? Yeah it was like that.
There is this fight in the forest, where Optimus prime is taking on (spoiler? They showed him in the previews) Megatron and Starscream, and like 1 or 2 more Deceptions. And it's not generic smash bash, it's carefully thought out choreography and I'm sitting there with my eyes wide and grinning from cheek to cheek as Optimus fights these guys. I think it's almost over, than the fight will come to an end, but even more badass stuff happens. I laughed out of joy.
But why you should see it? There is at *least* 3 or 4 times more robot fighting action. They said they had the animation nailed down better in this one, and it definitely shows, because there is a lot more transforming and more advanced fight scenes. Like I remember when Megatron and Optimus fought in the last one at the end and felt it was kind of anticlimatic because of how boring they were fighting and how Optimus was getting his ass handed to him. It was the complete opposite this time around, and I am talking about the MIDDLE of the movie.
Megan Fox. Yes. I get it. She's not the hottest thing since sliced bread. But still. Megan Fox. Had more of a purpose in this one than just to look pretty.
It was actually pretty hilarious. It really is not a kids movie, considering the jokes and language. Even one scene with Sam and the Deceptions seemed a little too detailed for kids under 9.
Spongebob's voice actor is in it. Come on.
It did slow down the second half, which it needed to drive the plot, and I think it could have been done more gracefully, but it's very short and is understandable. The ending scenes I did not see coming actually. Seriously. I thought it would have been a lot more generic. But YES. BUT. BUT. It was very abrupt. They did what they needed to do and it was like "oh, it's the end now". The first half, I'll admit, was better than the second half. Not just because of the action, just overall I suppose. But the second half is still cool, just not *as* cool. The length was good though.
Of course there is cheese. I like cheese when done right and for the most part it was. I saw it on IMAX too and hopefully get to see it another time (not on IMAX).
