1) when The Fallen is at the top of the pyramid and 'magnetizes' his staff -wicked sound and scene

2) on the deck of the freighter -Longhaul right before he jumps off. First time really seeing the constructicons in bot mode. Just a hulking mass of metal. A beast. Didn't know it was him, till i thought about it after seein it a 2nd time. (Too bad there were no one on one battles with him. Ironhide would have his hands full!!)

3) i know it's Bay cheesiness - but the slo-mo shot of the medical chopper flying in when Sam was down. Really dramatic. Wonder how they shot that? A crane overhead or another helicopter above? Pure eye candy.

I liked your third pick too. Alot of people in the audience thought it was a cool scene.

Also the shot of the first Jordanian helicopter going down, and you can see the pilots, was a well executed scene!

ya, that first chopper crash was sick. That was pretty well done.

Speaking of the overhead medical chopper shot -how do u think they did that??

Thinkin about it more - Ironhide woulda got his &$$ kicked by Longhaul. A dumptruck is way bigger than a GMC Topkick.

You know what I loved about that shot? The tank firing a round under the helicopter in slow motion. You could see the tank just shake and dust going up. Awesome. Then they cut to Megan's face and I started shaking...equally awesome.

I love when Sideswipe takes out Sideswipe in Shanghai. The only thing that could have made that scene better is a little more of Sideways fighting instead of just running.

I was gonna say the forest scene but everyone else got bagsies on that. Who can blame you though, it was Amazing. The bit where Prime rips Grindors face apart with his energon hooks and jumps off him then just kinda swings him to the floor was awesome. And when Prime took starscreams arm and batted him with it? I Fricking loved that bit. Bumblebee's fight with Rampage and Ravage was pretty sweet to, although I'm annoyed that rampaged died, How he died was wicked but it's a shame anyway.

My top 3:

3. Starscream landing in the forest

2. Prime taking on Grindor, Megs, and Starscream.

1. Devastator combining.

Thats tuff for the best shot...
i think its between when Optimus drives out of the plane and Transforms into the Robot mode.sky dives then hits the ground and transforms into truck again sparks everywhere then drives on.
that was sick graphics.

And when megatron says IS NOT THE FUTURE OF OUR RACE NOT WORTH A SINGLE HUMAN LIFE?
and optimus says you wont stop at one then kick some Deception butt.

One of my favorite scenes is toward the end in the desert. The Decepticons are advancing through the city ruins and there are large dust clouds. At one point, you see a huge manacing Megatron walking in slow motion from behind one of the clouds with glowing red eyes. It was freaking awesome. Shortly after that in the same scene, you see Long Haul making a similar walk through the dust.

I also have a question about this very scene. For a split second, you see a tan Decepticon that looks insanely huge. I've seen the movie three times and it's always too fast to get a really good look. I'm not sure if he's really that huge or if it's just a perspective issue. He doesn't look like any of the other Decepticons we've seen up to that point. Anyone?

Three words:

Damn. I'm. Good.

prime dies but then comes back to life bigger, stronger, and undeafetable. and ya he owns megatron in this one, in fact three decepticons at once lol....

anyways, among the scenes..this is what I love..
Optimus in the forest..

When Megatron stabbed Prime

I prefer Megatron to Prime, so hate me. I knew he would come back in the end.

Also the scene with Starscream and Megatron on the roof after killing Optimus.

I agree about the tank shot. Very nice! I could care less one way or another about Meagan Fox, but I guess it was a surreal scene with her looking down on Sam with the chopper above. I also thought the music in that scene was well done.

Sideswipe cutting up Sideways. It was good.

When Bumblebee pulled Ravage's spine out using nothing but his brute strength (not that I condone such acts of violence in real life, haha). And, basically all of the other scenes mentioned previously .

I apologize to all Ravage fans.

I don't know about you all but Optimus Prime had some good scenes. I mean we all know it so just give it up he's the man. I personally liked where Optimus totally humiliated Megs and Starscream. But like people have mentioned earlier there were so many good scenes. But by far my absolute favorite scene in the movie was where Optimus Prime took The Fallen's own staff and wrapped it around The Fallen's throat. That was pretty boss right there. The audience actually gets to see just how bad ass Optimus is.

I think my OP is misunderstood. I wasn't asking about scenes. I was asking about shots. One single image such as



instead of a sequence of moving images, which constitutes a scene.

one more cool shot -- in the beginning when OP jumps off the bridge onto Demolishor's (name?) head!! That's one sick freeze frame.

There has to be someone else who likes Long Haul gettin ready to jump off the cargo ship. Looks so cool --he's huge!

Always liked the shot of Sam meeting the Primes as he's unconscious, also the shot of the Twins and Bumblebee entering the Temple at Petra was pretty cool.

I understood you perfectly. Almost every movie has at least one that makes you go "WHOA!" or "Holy $h!t!" Unfortunately, most of the cool shots revolve around an action sequence.

One of my personal favorite "shots" in any film, would be in Jurassic Park, during the Road scene, where you see the Tyrannosaur look in the kid's car, and her pupil reacts to the light of the flashlight. Incredible scene, especially considering it's one of the very first movies to incorporate CGI.

My favourite shot in ROTF is any scene with Arcee in it

I shot that takes place during the intro,all those transformers fighting each other was the greatest(shortest) battle seen in the movie!
