Who Shot First? - Starscream or Greedo!
Okay Peons, here's where I give my honest, completely subjective on some of this summers blockbusters, So Spoilers Ahoy
>>> You're Fucking Retarded if you think I'm gonna make all the possible spoiling material invisible unless highlighted like this!! You've had your warning, So Act like an Adult and initiate some Damn Impulse Control! <<< style="font-weight: bold;">Transformers. As an O.G. Robots in Disguise fan I went into this movie with a mixture of elation and dread. Elation that my childhood heroes were coming to live action and Dread that it could turn out to be very horrible. Mostly it was a very very enjoyable movie and heres a few pro's and cons I'd like to point out:
Pros:
- I actually liked the human characters! The army guys were likable and well portrayed. Shia LeBeouf as Sam Witwicky was funny and well played throughout the movie and a perfect foil for the outlandish events happening around him. Turturro plays a winner to comedy effect with Sector 7's Simmons. All the human cast were likable and well used with the exception of maybe Glen the Hacker.
- The Autobots were spot on. Bumblebee was lovable and emotive (the scene where he was captured by Sector 7 was so well done!). Peter Cullen (the original voice actor in the 80's cartoon) brought Optimus Prime to life not only as a character but as noble and just hero. The driving scenes, especially the chase between 'Bee and Barricade were very exciting!
-The opening with Blackout and Skorponok attacking the airbase was brilliant, easily making him the most badass Decepticon next to Megatron.
- All the little detail put in - like the 'Bots battle stances when the Sector 7 reinforcements arrive, Frenzy's goldfish fear and Jazz deploying his shield when 'Bee dicides to 'ahem' lubricate Simmons. This and touches like Prime's Axe Sword arm (which he completely massacred Bonecrusher with! He then went to have Bad Muthafucka stitched into his wallet!) and Megatron's Morningstar Mace will make this a compulsive DVD view.
Cons:
- Could been a little more characterisation for The Decepticons. Sure it was was told from the Autobot and human perspective and Devestator (or Brawl as he meant to called) was meant as cannon fodder for the final battle. Barricade and Blackout kinda work as mysterious and Badass so the real victim here is Starscream. One of the biggest characters is Transformers history, defacto leader of the Decepticons before Megs is unfrozen and the only confirmed Decepticon survivor (Barricade mysteriously disappears after the highway chase) has TWO LINES, WHAT!! Instead of this we had to have Glen the Hacker and his plate of Donuts!!
This of course leads me to the controversy over whether or not Starscream joined the F22 's in gunning down Megatron. I think from the clues given, Yes he did, but as it isn't clear cut in the movie I'll wait to see If its confirmed in a sequel.
Did Starscream take Megatron up the ass?
Photo submitted as evidence. Notice the sloppy Reach Around.
Soundwave, You voyeuristic Pervert!!
- Also to a much smaller degree a) we didn't need Glen the Hacker in the movie and his part was done to a far better and more useful degree by Kevin Smith in Die Hard 4.0 and b) How about a little more grief over poor Jazz, It was like "He was a good friend but we have new friends, Yay!"
Overall whilst its not a thoughtful masterpiece (I mean was it ever going to be!) it is a big, often funny, highly paced and action packed movie that I throughly enjoyed (twice!)

Me in The Simpsons, That Unpossible !!
Your Capitan as resident of SpringfieldClose I suppose, I don't know about that tee though and I would most likely have a cigar. Also that goofy assed smile was the only one I could find with a decent beard.
If you want one of these login to www.simpsonsmovie.com/
or for a slightly more accurate yet harder to achieve (you need to upload a really good headshot) check out www.simpsonizeme.com.
