I saw Transformers back on Monday, it really came out the 4th of July though.
I’ll summarize my review:
IT KICKED SO MUCH ASS.
Ok now in-depth: It really did a great job maturing the beloved Transformers franchise, much better than TMNT did with that series. The Autobots were very well-made, though the Decepticons seemed a bit forced, their gathering scene kinda seemed like an excuse to introduce them all at the same time, and not have to develop them at all. Just a side-note: were Bonecrusher and Devastator in the original series? I don’t remember them…
There was one classic line I remember from the movie, Megatron says “You fail me yet again, Starscream.” How classic is that? And the (very) thinly veiled “more than meets the eye” lines? Clever. Very clever.
The action was good, the character development was good, Megan Fox was actually a pretty (gorgeous 😛 ) good choice for Michaela, since they made her more 3D than I thought they would.
One thing though. At the end of the movie, when Optimus is standing over the dying Megatron, one of the two says something along the lines of “I’m sorry, brother.” Did I imagine this? Are the two of them brothers?
Bothers perhaps in the sense that they both are from Cybertron? Like all men are brothers or something along those lines.
