Pure Awesome

That's what the new Transformers movie is: 100% pure awesome. Ok, that's not really true, but damn I enjoyed the hell out of the movie. It's got your very Michael Bay comedy and drama (which is to say, it can be incredibly painful to watch), but it works overall, and shit, the fights, the transformation sequences, the cheesy nostalgia throwbacks, are all very cool. And I have to admit, that new Camaro is a pretty sexy beast. And Megan Fox, goddamn.

The bad? Frenzy feels like the new Jar Jar, I've already mentioned the Michael Bay comedy and drama, and Jazz was trying a little too hard. Beyond that, I'd say the biggest disappointment is that there wasn't more. I want a sequel. With Soundwave. And more Constructicons.

Sidenote: the new Optimus Prime toy is pretty badass. I'm tempted to pick it up. ^^

Oh, and yes, the movie premiered here a week before everyone else. Suck it. ^^
