I just saw this movie today. I agree to some extent with uber.
This movie is just a Decepticon beatdown fest. Megatron is a serious loser still, and him and his buddies still can\'t aim, they still fall apart to primitive weaponry, they still cant fight, they still cant plan an offensive to save their lives, and I was just waiting for Megatron\'s favorite line, RETREAT!
They pretty much ruined characters like Devastator and Jetfire, Devastator showing up at the last minute and getting beat up by the wretched Jar Jar bots. And somehow Jetfire is an old decrepit robot with metal plates to make a beard and a walking stick. Jetfire is supposed to be the badass of all badass Autobots, and they just had some other poser robot in his place using his name.
Jar Jar Autobots and no name Decepticons add to this empty movie, with poor humor with robots humping legs and robot balls.
I don\'t blame Bay for the shortcomings of this movie, just the very poor script writing.
2 out of 5 stars from me!
Oh and they could have at least thrown a bone or two for the super fanboys out there, I was hoping Soundwave would have been really cool, but they ruined him too, at least he could have said \"Ravage, eject!\" ><
