Besides too much human storyline, I had to hit rewind so many times to see who's who and who got killed. If you blink you miss certain characters that only have one or two cameos. Still have no idea who the large Einstein looking robot that got killed was. And was it Soundwave that killed him ??? Was that the mercedes bot Bumblebee killed or Soundwave ??? Who was the Ferarri autobot ??? I couldnt make out the name the one time they told him to report to a bay for weapon check. What was the little Einstein looking robots name that hung out with Wheelie ??? It sounded like Brains I think. So much, Im gonna have to watch it a few more times to catch on. But im gonna be the devils advocate and say that part 2 was the best. It had the best combination of action and chance to see the characters robot modes without having to press pause on the DVD. And I do plan on buying the collectors edition when it comes out to show my support. But for now I stay away from theatres to avoid screaming children and cellphone wielding teenagers which ruin any movie.
u watch a crappy bootleg and judge it off that? DOTM had some of the clearest pictures and robot definition of all the films. Soundeave was a Mercedes, there was a whole scene with Carly getting tormented by him revealing that.

But there's a whole scene about midway through the film where Soundwave and Laserbeak are the only big robots around, and Dylan even addresses Soundwave by name.Rated X wrote:And no I did not know the Mercedes was Soundwave because everything moves so quickly and every Decepticon robot appeared to be silver in the quick glances they offered making it hard to tell who’s who.

I grew up in the 80's when we didn’t have none of that and learned how to enjoy a movie the old fashioned way: WATCH THE MOVIE !!! I love AVI's just like I love KO’s. When it comes to my support for the movie, best believe ill be getting the deluxe edition when it comes out. But that could be in months and this is now. If you want a crying baby on your right, a facebook addict texting on your left, and are willing to miss good scenes just to take a 2 minute piss break, then go to the theater. Ill be at home watching it on my flat screen, feet up with an ice cold beer, pause button, and no distractions.

Fact: AVI's aka Bootlegs suck! Suck bigtime. There is no quality to them, they are poor copies. Not even copies, they're crap cam vids from some dudes phone. Always too dark, NEVER showing any form of definition, lucky if you get sound, and that crying baby and crazy FBer usually pop up as a black silhouette on an AVI and walk across the screen.
I dont see any "FACTS" here. Just a bunch of opinions from someone who prefers "hi-tech" stuff.
The scene with Soundwave lasted a good 5 plus minutes so he didn't blur by, you just couldn't tell who he was cause your bootlegs quality was horrible and you couldn't hear Patrick Dempsey tell Soundwave, by name mind you, to leave Carly alone.
So yeah, I went to the theatre, twice, to see the movie how it was meant to be seen, in all its IMAX 3D and 2D high definition glory and guess what, I saw every Transformers clearly, I knew who everyone was regardless of screen time, I say battle scenes that surpassed that of ROTF in clarity and definition and I got to cheer with everyone else when the Autobots kicked some Decepticon tail.
Im not knocking you for liking an ice cold brew and the comfort of your own home, but you cant tell me an 8 track is as good as and mp3 player, so theres no way an AVI beats a theatre screening. Sorry.
For the majority of his screentime, Soundwave stood still. And, again, he was referred to by name ("clearly", I might add) by both Megatron and Patrick Dempsey.Rated X wrote:And for the last time, it wasn’t my picture quality that kept me from identifying the Mercedes as Soundwave. It was the speed of motion and the “all silver” Decepticon cast that had me puzzled. It was real easy to identify the Autobots no matter how quick they moved because most of them could be identified by their different color schemes.

What about when Patrick Dempsey said, "Soundwave, please," in clear legible dialogue?Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:For the majority of his screentime, Soundwave stood still.

I saw Soundwave standing still (when laserbeak flew on his arm)
But the one time the Benz transformed it was so quick (and silver) that it was hard to tell who it was. And the tentacles that tormented Carly when she was trapped insife the Benz didnt really clue me in cause it seemed like everything in the movie had tentacles or dreads or something else swinging around. Maybe it was the beer. Ill watch it again right now.

ingenieur wrote:Yo, long time listener, first time caller. Enjoying this podcast thus far, I'll be sure to listen to the rest. Just a thought, though: Doesn't it seem like you find yourself rationalizing the characterizations in the TF movies? For example, Prime's rationale in killing Sentinel & Megatron. IMO, it's obvious that the choices of the filmmakers (The director? The writers?) do a disservice to Prime, as they do to the other Transformers, & we're left to rationalize them as best we can, e.g. "Prime needed to kill them because they'd never stop, they'd murder every human." A better writer and/or director would've found a better denouement, e.g. Prime stopping Sentinel, Megatron submitting to Prime, & Starscream betraying Megatron. That's Transformers 101, but that's not what we got.
