Even the exciting
aspect of the
story, the search for Ellsberg (played by Matthew Rhys) and the cloak - and - dagger transportation
of the documents to the Post building, is subverted when Ellsberg suddenly appears on TV after a
crucial Supreme Court ruling is delivered.
Good: Starscream is a lot cooler in this movie, Best computer - graphics for any movie to date, Original Optimus voice, Bumblebee vs. Barricade scene was awesome, Decent
story, but the Unicron
story is a million times better Bad: No Hot Rod or Soundwave, Shia LeBeouf, Ending, Futile attempts to connect to classic scenes, lines and concepts, No Stan Bush soundtrack, Some immature humor ruined a lot
of the movie for me, Poor dialogue I really expected a lot from this movie and am very critical about my feelings towards it - Overall Michael Bay made a good movie, but he made it appeal to the masses (immature jokes and a lot
of action) and it gave up a lot
of other
crucial aspects to the
story and quality
of the Transformers franchise.
But looking inward, one
crucial aspect is missing, what with its Wicked-esque revisionist angle
of a «misunderstood» antiheroine, the «this is the true
story of the familiar tale» framing narration borrowed from Ever After, and a climactic plot point lifted wholesale from the Mouse's own Frozen: true imagination.
