I'm usually all for reading a whole topic before posting but I don't feel like reading 102 posts or so.

At any rate, I saw ROTF last night and found it mostly awful with very few highlights. I don't know why, but I always expected this film would fall short of the previous one, but I didn't expect by so far. The jokes were childish and dull, that Leo character or whatever his name is was uneccessary and didn't require half the screen time he had. I don't like the idea of Megatron answering to another person who he calls master, and Starscream was reduced to some sort of sniveling Igor character. I think 2 and a half hours was really too long for this movie, it felt like the majority of it was just drawn out and didn't do much to push the story along. The Transformers were still not featured nearly enough, if I want to see a movie about humans, I'll go watch a movie about humans, you know, every other movie in the world.

On the other hand, the fight scenes between the Transformers were good, although there was a little too much Michael Bay here and there, but we just have to accept that. The little remote controlled truck character was good for a few laughs, although it was odd how he just disappeared near the end and was never mentioned again, and it was good to hear Frank Welker doing Soundwave even if it didn't have the filters it should have.

Overall I was far from impressed. I just hope they correct all these problems for the third film.

*Rant over*

Thanks for your time anyway, I needed to vent somewhere.
