What are yours?

Favorite: Scene where Optimus tears through the cons with his jetpack on.
Least favorite: It's a tie between the above mentioned scene, and the bathroom scene with Wang

Wed Aug 10, 2011 2:37 pm

Favorite: Lots- I'd have to say the best scene is when Optimus and the Autobots arrive at Chicago saving Sam and the NEST team saying "We will kill them all." Followed by saying "Today, we bring the battle to them!"- the whole scene gave me goosebumps and made me smile like a little kid. Again though, lots of scenes in DOTM had this same effect.

Least Favorite- definitely the bathroom stall scene with Wang-completely unnecessary and really the only "ROTF-like" scene in the whole movie.

Wed Aug 10, 2011 3:32 pm

Favorite: 4 scenes total for me: 1. Highway chase scene. 2. Wingsuit scene - Just seeing the behind the scene footage and knowing that scene was done in REAL LIFE is just jaw dropping amazing. 3. Original 1960's moon landing scene, still a classic. 4. Carly Spencer bedroom scene.

Least Favorite: The entire 'Wang' bathroom scene. Completely unnecessary and didn't add to story/plot what so ever.

Favorite: Bumblebee slo-mo catching Sam made me scream the first time I saw it, then the "Time to find out" line.

I admit to laughing at the Wang character, although upon the other viewings I despised all his scenes because I just wanted to see the action again. But I probably least-liked the part where Bruce comes in and plays with Bumblebee, it was just weird...

FAV: The highway chase. To me, that was the most memorable and beautifully choreographed scene of the movie.

LEAST FAV: Ken Jeong's "toilet infiltration" scene. The overacting kind of annoyed me. Conversely, the scene where Sam walks into his office was okay.

OPTIONAL 2ND LEAST FAV: Bruce "playing" with Bumblebee. Total WTF moment. Bumblebee said it best in his funniest and most appropriate quote yet--"Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?"

Favorite: when Optimus kills the Driller with his jetpack on. :APPLAUSE:

Least Favorite: the scene with Sam and Carly in the very beginning. :BOOM:

And also...I really wish they would've given Optimus a longer closing speech. :-?

Favorites:

1. Ironhide's Death (Yes, I am sick...)
2. Wheeljack's Death (I want to reenact it with tha figures

)
3. The Highway Dread Scene (Bumblebee, Mirage, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Crankcase, and Crowbar were badass)

Least Favorites:

1. Carly and Sam's Bed Scene (Yeah, man, that was creepy)
2. Soundwave's Death (NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
3. Every Driller Scene (Excluding when Shockwave Emerges. That's Awesome. But that damn worm annoys the heck out of me)

Yeah, that Bruce and Bumblebee was really awkward. People in the theater were completely silent in during the scene until Simmons spoke to Bruce asking him what he was doing. Strange scene for sure.

I didn't notice how people reacted during that scene, but I'm pretty sure the whole place was silent. The first thought that passed my mind as I watched was, "How'd a guy like that end up in such a high position in his company?"

Can i say pretty much all of the (action scenes) were my favorite? if i had to pick one, i really like the scene where sam and the soldiers are driving into the chaotic chicago w/ iridescent playing. I also really like the highway chase scene, mostly because dino is in it, i like the scene where sam kills starscream, i like the scene where bumblebee (almost) dies, then he blasts through soundwaves chest. so... yeah, pretty much the whole action part of the movie. i have to admit the scene in the stall was funny, and the other scenes w/ jerry.
Now on to the scenes i hate:
all of the scenes w/ dylan. he bugs the crap out of me.
the scene after carly gets mad and sam talks to his parents. that was stupid, and unnecessary.
when sam is talking being interviewed by the dude from R.E.D, because its stupid.
i also hate the very last scene, not because of the scene itself, just because it means the movie is over. i wish the movie was around 3 hrs. that would be awesome. im going to get crap for this, but i like the human interaction in this movie. i just wish there was more robots fighting though. there, my ridiculous post is finished.

Favorite scene: All laserbeak scenes! (Excluding the death scene of course)

Optional second: (For lawls)"Prime! Make something of yourself!" BANG! "Yup, he's pissed!"

Least Favorite scene: The Butcher Scene. you know EXACTLY wich scene I mean...

News Credits: 1 · Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:52 pm

Favorites:
-Ironhide's death.
-Laserbeak everything, especially as the pink Bumblebee.
-The highway chase/Mexican standoff.

Least:
-Ken Jeong. I like the guy, but that character in general was so over-the-top and awful. I was very happy to see him dispatched.

I have a few favorites, but I must say that the one scene which still gives me goosebumps even after seeing it 6 times (you read right!) is the scene when Optimus first appears in Chicago after Starscream shoots down the Xantium. The music probably had a lot to do with it, as well as the low angle it was shot in, but when he steps over the humans and the spent shell bounces off the ground, inside, I think "F**k yeah!" every time I see it.

My least favorite scene is when Sam is in the RV with his parents and his mom starts ranting about men and women. Stupid sexist bullshit.

And the Wang bathroom scene is relevant. It's where he tells Sam about the Decepticons' work behind the scenes and gives him all that paperwork. Sam in turn uses it to convince Director Mearing to listen to him about the Decepticons. It might have been juvenile, but it was relevant.

It's not that the scene isn't relevant, it's just way more over-the-top than it needed to be.

I don't have any least favorite scenes. That movie had the longest running time for anything I have ever seen in the theatre and I didn't even notice. I wasn't ready for it to end and can't wait for the DVD release. I have heard two different dates, does anyone know a correct one?

I agree with it being over-the-top. But it's Bayhumor. Could have been a lot worse. I was just responding to someone else posting that it was totally unnecessary. It wasn't.

Favourite - Possibly the Highway scene. Maybe also the Wingsuit scene or the scene where Sentinel activates the Pillars in DC.

Least Favourite - Anything with Jerry Wang in it.

News Credits: 37 · Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:28 pm

Favorite: Optimus coming in and killing all those Decepticons and Shockwave at the end.

Least Favorite: The opening Sam/Carly scene. The intro was freaking awesome, then they cut to crap after an epic title reveal.

Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:16 pm

Favorite: the highway chase
Least favorite: When Sam, Epps and the others were in Chicago. I'd much rather see the Autobots fighting their way through the city than watch a bunch of humans scurrying around and hiding.

Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:30 pm

Favorite: Probably the scene where Optimus Prime shows up and kills all those cons in the street. Followed by the scene of Optimus and Ratchet on the moon.

Least Favorite: Ironhide's death, Starscream's death (he shouldn't have died at the hands of humans), and Wheeljack/Que's death.

That movie has any I have ever seen in the theater, I did not even notice the longest running time. I'm not ready to end it, can not wait for the DVD release.
