Transformers Movie


Watching the Transformers movie on DVD and enjoying it. Any part of the movie that annoys me (95% of the humans parts) can be skipped. While watching, I spotted one very glaring flaw. Bumblebee's legs are blown off, but he's been holding the Allspark in his hands. Frenzy was only near the cube and has his body restored. By accident, in Sam's hand, the Allspark creates a robot out of a car wheel and a soda machine. Somehow the Allspark can't (or won't) give BB back his legs? What kind of plot hole is that? Not that it will be rewritten, but damn if that doesn't look bad.

For that matter, why does the ethnic Autobot have to be the only Autobot that dies. It's like some old school horror movie standards were in place.

I must say anytime people don't capitalize on how cool Megatron is until the last half of the film have missed the potential the character has. How many years has Megatron been on ice? He's still able to beat the shit outta Optimus Prime. Talk about mean as hell. I was waiting for some real OP can of whoop ass, but shit had to be where he wanted to sacrifice himself for the good of the universe (UGH). Great Prime, leave that raving maniac with no one able to be a direct threat to him, while you go off to cyber Valhalla. That plan was soooo last moment, or prime has a secret Joan of Arc fetish.

I do like the explosions, and when the action was moving the film. Yaaaay x-plosions.
