[QUOTE="F5, post: 3627154, member: 4607"] Ditto that. A scene that I would like to see would involve one of the marines (probably the army Sergeant Lennox), and one of the Autobots (Ironhide, maybe?) commiserating soldier-to-soldier. It could have been a very short scene, but would have tied the two groups of characters together better at the end. Ideally, it could have been reminiscent of the ribbing the soldiers were giving each other in the helicopter in the opening scenes. I'm not generally a Michael Bay fan, so I was really, pleasantly surprised. This was an awesome summer popcorn movie. I went in wanting to see giant robots fight each other in spectacularly destructive ways, and I was not disappointed. I did not expect any character behind the giant robots to come through at all, and it did. I was really impressed with the amount of respect that Bay had for the nostalgia elements, while still updating the story to make it more relevant and modern. To those who say "Bumblebee is supposed to be a yellow VW bug!", he gave a nod in that direction in the car dealer's scene. Some throw-away lines about "more than meets the eye". Prime actually said "Autobots, roll out!" That was enough for me…"One shall stand, One shall fall" was just icing on the cake. Did I mention the part about giant robots beating the tar out of each other? Because that was good, too. The gamer geek in me has to analyze some of the plot-holes that bugged me at the end: [SBLOCK] I missed something with the whole "I'll sacrifice myself to destroy the all-spark" bit at then end. I was not the only one leaving the theatre wondering why, if you know that inserting the thing into a robot's chest is immediately fatal, that Prime wasn't suggesting that as a last resort, stick it into MEGATRON'S chest? If you've gotta sacrifice someone for the greater good, sacrifice the BAD GUY! Unless there's something we don't know about the after-effects of absorbing the all-spark, which we will find out about in the sequels…(ps, please make sequels!) Also, why is it that all new transformers created by stray zaps from the all-spark were evil? I'm thinking the clue is how Prime said that their own race was savage and warlike in their own past, and had to overcome it…maybe he wasn't talking about their ancestors, but that they themselves started out savage and had to learn civilization? Maybe the Autobots are thousands of years old? [/SBLOCK] [/QUOTE]
