My thoughts are 'Wow, I want more' because I loved it. I fully agree with Hursticon that this movie is full of awesome. Action, humour, characters.
This movie delivered alot and without a doubt is the best out of all. I love the homage to G1 episodes, and how this was darker and more doomsday. Of course I'm upset Wave got killed by Bee, but more battle scenes and the twist with Sentinel more than made up for this.
My thoughts on characters:
Soundwave & Laserbeak was nice homage, and were the perfect loyal spies.(really makes me want to see a leader soundwave for obvious size class combination of toys).
Megatron true to his character came up with another plan and caved to his own greed (could have flicked her though).
Starscream cowered to megs like normal and was 'overshadowed by his stupidity' in the end.
Shockwave a stone-cold con, flying solo as he always has. Would have seen him perfectly fit into the plot as the one who commands the decepticons through the space bridge but still great to have him in the movie.
And I'm assuming Bumblebee was the one who got all the autobots caught towards the end lol.
I've noticed people complaining about human parts, but we must remember this is a movie for everyone, not just fans. I think it is an important component to the movie, I would like to think humans would have some contribution considering it is our planet.
Also the movie had a great story behind it. Whilst it may not link up with the book fully, does any book/movie. And also somewhat link with G1 episodes for us fans was great. The movieverse should not have to be placed in comparison with the cartoon, but should be an inspired evolution which this movie was.
You could easily follow up this movie, with Unicron coming because of cybertron wormhole, galvatron rising, ghost scream existing on the world wide web. My imagination is running away.. the magic of money always has a way of making a sequel.
But to close.... Very impressed- 99% because nothing is ever perfect
