Best Transfomers movie yet!

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2011)

I must first say that going into this movie I expected nothing more than a fireworks show; lots of explosions and carnage without much plot. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was, indeed, a good plot (for an action movie anyway), and a refreshing sequel after seeing the horrible "Revenge of the Fallen". The scenes were a little jumbled, but not enough that you couldn't follow the movie.
I'll list the pros and cons, and warn you of spoilers.
PROS:

Best Transformers movie in the series in terms of plot

Really, really, REALLY good special effects. Almost all of them very convincing.

Good acting by the main characters, with the exception of the "Megan Fox Replacement"

It WILL keep you on the edge of your seat, especially through the hour-long final battle.

They have removed all of the annoying characters, with the exception of the 2 small "toy car" transformers.

The transformers actually had weapons! Maybe I'm just forgetting, but I never remember the Transformers carrying large guns before. Most of it was hand-to-hand.

CONS:

As with all transformer movies, the humans think that shooting pistols will take down a huge Deceptacon. Really??

CRAZY PRODUCT PLACEMENT!! I'm not kidding when I say they stopped the movie to have a car commercial, not to mention that everyone in the movie owned a Levono computer.

//////////SPOILER ALERT//////////////////////

Megatron destroyed Sintenel right before he defeated Optimist Prime, who then killed him. Why didn't he just wait 5 seconds? This climaxed the movie 5 minutes before it ended, so it was "kind of" vital.

The 2 small annoying robots took down the Decepticon's mother ship, which was heavily fortified, without much trouble.

Well, cons aside, I think this was a very good movie and I recommend that you see it if you love action movies. 8/10 stars!
