"Brilliant!! But a rip off of the movie we REALLY wanted!!!"
This is not a review, but more my thoughts on the movie. I did not want to but this on a thread to get lost amongst comments about the Dark Knight and Harry Potter. Nor did i want to leave such a long comment.
Having had a couple of days to think more about the movie, i can't help but feel we will never see the Unicron story in a movie. If you think about ROTF, it was basically a remake of "Transformers: The Movie". I shall explain....
1:Instead of having Unicron as the bad guy, we have the Fallen.
2:The ressurrection of Megatron. But we don't get Galatron, we just get a sort of ungraded Megatron.
3:The death of Optimus Prime. But instead of the matrix being passed on to Hot Rod, we get Prime back.
They are the 3 main things in the original movie. Now they are gone. Bay had the chance to really go for it and move on with the story. But now i don't know where he could go. Yeah Megatron is still alive, but for fuck sake, he should have been killed and the ending should have left a major opening for another movie. But instead it ends just like the first, Prime talking to space. As far as i can see this will be the last movie. No point talking about the Dinobots as they would stupid in a movie. ROTF basically killed any hope of another movie. And i don't like the idea of making up a bad guy as the because then the movie doesn't mean as much to fans. As much as i like the seqeul, all it did was rip of a movie that already exsisted. Cartoon or not.

I honestly think this will be the last Transformers movie.
I honestly think this will be the last Transformers movie.
I hated the unnecessary scenes that were simply used for comic relief. The whole mom and dad at the college (unnecessary), the Alice character (unnecessary), Leo Spitz (unnecessary), and though I didn't think they were as bad and unfunny as many say, Mudflaps and Skids were also (unnecessary). And finally, the final battle scenes could have been cut by about 10 to 12 minutes.
The film was a bit too long... but still... I enjoyed it.
In the 1st movie when we here all about the cube they don't explain about the original Transformers, which they sorta did in Revenge. in actual fact, in the cartoons there is no such thing as the cube. That was created for the movie. So yes they could do and say whatever they wanted about the origin of the cube because it's not actually attached to the Transformers history.
But the matrix, which is the story they used in Revenge, IS part of the history!
In Transformers Sam's great grandaddy found Megatron like 100 years ago. So all we really know is that. What Optimus actually says at the beginning on the 1st movie is this :"Before time began, there was the cube. We know not where it comes from,only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how are race was born. For a time we lived in harmony, but like all great power. Some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war, a war that ravaged our planet untill it was consumed by death. And the cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scatered across the galaxy hoping to find it and rebuild our home. Searching every star, every world. And just when hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called earth."
It doesn't say that they where here at the beginning of time. Just that the cube was here.
Hope you understand that.
