This is easily the best and the most epic...

Yes, it was easily the best of the trilogy for me, too.

A well deserved 5/10. Because I feel generous lately.

Agreed! Best of the trilogy, I don't understand the hate.

Yeah, absolutely the best one.. I don't know why the film is hated so much...it's a perfectly good action film and a great ride..

I thought this was a great movie too. And a HUGE improvement over the incredibly awful Revenge of the Fallen. There was an actual effort with the story and there's some good action and tension in the film. I also loved the scene where Sam said goodbye to the Autobots, and when they came back to save the world from the Decepticons. I loved how the stakes were raised and I was actually engrossed with what was happening too.

I think people cannot get pass their hatred of Michael Bay. Sure he's made some trashy movies, but he still makes entertaining trash. He's made some decent films and a lot of my guilty pleasures. I can't see why a Transformers 4 is needed though, since I felt this one had some sense of closure to it.

Also, am I the only one who likes the girl that replaced Megan Fox? I felt she was a better actress and somehow I couldn't buy that Mikeala/Megan actually liked Sam, unlike Rosie.

But overall, I think this was every bit as awesome as the first film, probably even more so.

i like the first one better..

Since you don't understand the hate, allow me to explain why I gave this a 1/10, and would have given it a -13 if that was possible. This movie is arguably the most incomprehensible film I've ever seen. And I've seen Alone in the Dark, The Room, Birdemic, Highlander 2, Zardoz, etc. And I'm not replaying to this to troll anyone--let's just get that out there right now before the mindless peons who don't know how to politely debate come out of the woodwork.

I won't even get into the awful first and second movies. I'll focus solely on this one. Here is my list of problems with this movie:

1.) First and foremost, Sam Witwicky saved the world (for a second time) and received a hero medal from Obama, but no one knows who he is??? He would be on a different talk show every single day for the rest of his life. He wouldn't be able to go outside to get his mail without dozens of people running up to him and thanking him or wanting an autograph or something. Despite this, he can't get a job anywhere??? And then, Patrick Dempsey puts in a good word for him to get...a mail room job? At another company? Why didn't he just get him a job at Accuretta, where HE WORKS??? Surely, he was trying to keep tabs on Sam for his grand plan later, right? And overall, Sam is so damned insufferable, I wanted Starscream or Megatron or Sentinel or Itchy or Sweet Tooth or Earthworm Jim to just blow the little peon's head off.

2.) So, Patrick Dempsey was in cahoots with the Decepticons all along, huh? Why didn't he (or his predecessors from 1970 onward) ever come to the aid of Megatron or the Fallen in the previous movies? It would have at least given the useless human soldiers (who do virtually nothing this whole series) someone to fight.

3.) Optimus Prime is once again a careless and sadistic murderer. He flat out KILLS Megatron even after Megatron saved his life. He then walks over to his former mentor who is barely alive and shoots him in the face to finish him off, despite the fact that Sentinel was begging for his life and remorseful for his actions. And before any of this, he allows the Decepticons to conquer Earth and kill who knows how many people for a ruse he doesn't even utilize! Wow. Your wonderful hero of freedom, ladies and gentlemen.

4.) Sam Witwicky not only has killed Megatron, but he also kills Starscream in this one. So, let's recap all the things Starscream did in this trilogy--he shoots at the streets in the final battle of the first movie and flies into space after Megatron is b****ed out by Sam. He does absolutely nothing in the second movie. And in the third movie, he shoots down the Autobots rocket (that didn't have them in it) and gets his eye rips out and his head blown off by Sam.

5.) Michael Bay tried to leech off the popularity of Star Trek by having the Leonard Nimoy-voiced Sentinel quote "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Not only is it an insult to Star Trek fans, but in the context it was used in this film, it makes absolutely ZERO sense. Sentinel had the Decepticons murder thousands (maybe millions?) of human beings to try to make a home for a few thousand robots. Quoting that line there makes as much sense as Jimmy Cuervo quoting "The Raven" in The Crow: Wicked Prayer".

6.) You do not get rich from writing ONE conspiracy book. It does not happen. And how was Simmons allowed to write this book in the first place? Wouldn't NEST or some other wing of the government be keeping stricter tabs on him than almost anyone in the country, given his former status?

7.) The guards at NEST don't know who Sam is? Okay, even if I turn myself gullible and buy the nonsense that the human race doesn't know who Sam is...how the hell do the NEST guys not know who he is???

8.) Why haven't we heard of Charlotte Mearing before now? If she is the big ma'am in charge and has to okay every single thing these idiots at NEST or any other government agency do, then why have we not heard of her up to this point?

9.) So, if Sentinel Prime was supposed to rendezvous with Megatron on Earth or the moon, then how and when did Megatron become subservient to The Fallen?

10.) Speaking of which, considering that Sentinel and Megatron were the leaders of their respective factions, then why did they have to meet secretly in order to end the war on Cybertron? They have power over everyone there. How hard is it to say, "TROOPS! STAND DOWN!"?? War over!

11.) Who shot at Sentinel's rocket in the beginning? This was after he had defected to the Decepticons. Wouldn't Megatron have told his troops to let it go? And if the Autobots shot at it, that would mean they already knew he was a traitor.

12.) Cybertron is being brought into our atmosphere...because??? And Cybertron being that close to Earth would knock the entire planet out of orbit due to the gravitational imbalance. We'd be floating off into space.

13.) The entire last hour of the movie is one gigantic gunfight. Seeing endless gunfire and explosions really gets dull after twenty minutes. Especially when no one involved can act. Or direct. (Hi, Michael Bay!)


I know there are more problems I can't even remember (they probably involve Bill O'Reilly), but yeah--THAT is why this movie is so awful. In my opinion.

It gots 6/10 for me.

The story isn't much....

It's got plot holes big enough to fly the Enterprise through.

It's a fun movie but I can't get past the glitches in the story. Having said that it is a fun movie to watch on its own.

That's about it.
