Nah, the first one was okay. ROTF was godawfully boring.

I'd say it got a little slow when Jetfire spacebridged them to Egypt and they were trying to figure out where the Matrix was, but other than that... I didn't find the movie boring at all.138 Scourge wrote:ROTF was godawfully boring.

A project that's honest or personal is going to be so much more interesting than something that's just trying so hard to be awesome. Bay's Transformers are devoid of honesty or heart for sake of being cool. I don't see any honesty in them, just dumb fake posturing.
kinda drunk and can't think up other words for honest or cool

I don't think it was boring, but I do think it was a little too long. Round the time of the forest battle I checked my watch and thought "wow this is a long movie and we've still got all of this other stuff to go." I just wish there weren't so many glaring plot holes.138 Scourge wrote:Nah, the first one was okay. ROTF was godawfully boring.
"Joy and whimsy" can be dangerously close to "mastering the idiom" though, indulging the worst elements of the writer's personality, or audience members who want a show how pointless the story is.joy and whimsy
The forest battle was one of the highlights of the movie for me. Watching Optimus Prime fight off Megatron, Starscream and redshirt Decepticon #72 was good stuff. The movie needed more of that and less of the crap with the Twins and Simmons.Shockwave wrote:I don't think it was boring, but I do think it was a little too long.

About as much as it takes for me to type that I agree with you. Except for the Devastator merge sequence. I freakin' loved that. And the part where Megs beats Starscream with his own severed arm.138 Scourge wrote:You see how wrong that last sentence is? It takes a lot to get me to type that out.
