Transformers DSOTM is a good movie. There, I said it. Starting off slowly and gently, it introduces the story, the characters and the humor. The 1st hour of the movie is surprisingly funny. The entire audience laughed together many times. Another thing I'm surprised to say... Shia is excellent in this film. He delivers several well delivered laughs, while managing to also pull of his seriously important character. The new GF is also a huge winner. The introduce her, via her ASS, which is am amazingly clear message to the male viewers that says, DON'T WORRY, THE NEW GF IS HOT TOO, and then they introduce the rest of her. A MUCH better, sweeter, more likable, character, played surprisingly well, by a smokin' hot lady. She is incredibly likeable, and is a refreshing surprise in todays world of trash talking, tough girl bitches that beat up the hulk with their bare hands. The actress, and the character she plays, are a big win in this film. She looks more amazing with each passing scene, while sweetly playing her character, a sweet, everyday girl, who loves her BF, and just wants him to be safe and happy, and with her. Megan Fox should be digging the bullets out of her foot with a spoon right now. The new girl is easily the best thing to happen to the new and improved Transformers. Plus, they, of course, already have a super powerful tough girl in the film. Obviously....
Optimus is also much improved. No longer a wuss, Optimus kicks ass and takes names, like the bad ass leader of a race of massive alien robots that he is. Peter Cullen as Optimus is pure gold. As always. The instant he starts speaking. You listen, period.
The interesting thing about the movie, is that after a first half of story and laughs, it developes into an all out war between the autobots, deceptacons, and the humans. The movie starts to feel long, but this is the massive battle that everyone who supports the series deserved, and they got it.
Don't be shy of TF3. No matter how bad TF2 was, this film is very enjoyable, and you gotta see it on a big screen. Transform and Roll out!
