Now understand, I have been ITCHING to show her this movie since I saw it. TF is just about the only one of my "geek fandom/hobbie" that she actually digs. She enjoys the movies and loves Beast Wars/Beast Machines. Anyways, I showed her the movie and this is what she (as a casual TF fan who happens to be married to a REAL TF fan like me) thought of it in no particular order:
1. She thought it was better than ROTF but not TF07
2. She was surprised at how much the raunchy content had been reduced
3. She thought Shia did a great job
4. She liked Dylan Gould's character and his feud with Sam
5. She thought Rosie Huntington-Whitely was light years better than Megan Fox as well as Carly being better than Mikaela
6. She thought the Chernobyl scene with Optimus and Shockwave's intro was SWEET
7. She was confused on who Dino and Que were(after explaining it to her she agreed it was dumb to change the names) and she didn't like that they were barely in it
8. She thought Agent Simmons was funny and enjoyed his little backstory with Mearing
9. She thought it was really cool that they got Buzz Aldrin to show up
10. She agreed that the scene on the highway where Bumblebee and Sam are flying through the air and Bumblebee grabs Sam and puts him in his chest as he transforms was the greatest special effect she's ever seen
11. She liked the scene where Optimus takes out the Driller
12. She thought more time should have been devoted to Sam and Bumblebee's relationship, especially when the Autobots return to Chicago
13. She argued with me over whether or not the Soldiers gliding into Chicago scene was real (parts of it was)
14. She commented on long it was taking the NEST team to get to Trump Tower
15. She thought Starscream's death scene was silly (not in a good way)
16. She was disappointed that Ultimate Optimus doesn't look like his power up mode in the movie
17. She thought the scene where Carly talks Megatron into attacking Sentinel Prime was ridiculous
18. She didn't laugh at about 2/3's of the movies "jokes"
19. She did think Brains and Wheelie were funny
20. She wondered why the Decepticons hiding on the moon hadn't invaded sooner
21. She was confused on the fate of Cybertron
22. Over all she was a bit disappointed- though she admitted it was okay. Nothing really WOWED her about it.
Okay- so let us know what experiences/thoughts/impressions your first time viewers had of DOTM. It could be family, friends, etc. I'm interested to know. Blessings all!
