Me the wife and the mother and law saw it last night.

This is the first movie Ive seen that I honestly cant give an overall consensus for. It was like it was two movies that they crammed into one movie. OR it was like one movie that they stretched out too long. Also there were brilliant spots of humour, acting and action. But there were downright stupid parts that even kids and adults alike remained silent during. It was as if they simply didnt edit the movie at all. I really got annoyed with the countless scenes of slowmotion Shia Lebouf and Megan fox running at the camera. I think I counted about 10 scenes that looked exactly the same. But then they would have several scenes that were incredible and blew my mind.....

Im still confused lol.

Pros:
- Explains alot more about where Decepticons and Autobots came from, including some exciting info about Optimus Prime.
-Some of the Humour is downright belly busting, tear bringing laughter.
-Some of the battle scenes actually pull an emotional response and are downright epic.
-Some of the military hardware is quite simply incredible, even if it doesnt exist.

Cons:
-While explaining alot, its so fast paced that you wish you had a rewind button, but even moreso, wished the producer would slow down on the speed and crack. I felt my nose bleeding a couple of times from information overload followed by confusion when they all of a sudden STOPPED explaining without finishing....
-The rest of the humour quite simply wasnt tastefull, got no response from the audience and looked like it was "stuffed in" for the teenage/skeptical audience.
-The rest of the battle scenes were incredibly difficult to see and sometimes I confused robots. At one point of the movie I had no idea that Megatron was even there, unill the camera panned out and OMG, the last 10 minutes of battle was megatron....wtf...lame.
-Somtimes the humans just looked like decorations.....why were they there lol??

One last thought- I will have to wait untill this is out on bluray and Ill try to watch this in another theater, but good lord the quality of the film was awfull. There were lines through the screen at times, there wasnt enough definition on the robots, when the camera panned all I saw was multi-color blur. I never saw any of that watching the first one on HDDVD.
