This movie I'd say is second best. I know everybody else hates Revenge of the Fallen, but that is my favorite and before you flame the crap out of me let me explain. ROF is probably the truest Transformers movie out there. Megatron has the most lines in this film, including several scenes of him bitching out Starscream for failing him. The relationship between Megs and screamy is one of the most important in all of Transformers and this movie expanded upon it more than any of the others.
The Matrix and Optimus's miracle revival: Every incarnation of Transformers involves Optimus dying and being reborn.
Optimus heroically taking on all the Decepticons is another thing that is not seen in any other Transformers film. It almost reminds me of that scene in the G1 movie when the autobots are getting crushed then Optimus flies out of truck mode and starts kicking major butt with the Touch song playing.
Combiners: They are also another important part of Transformers mythos. Devastator and Wingblade Optimus were amazing to watch
I think everybody hates this movie because of the human's. It's the same gags from the first Transformers and we expected something different and refreshing, and by the time Dark of the moon came out, we were like 'yeah whatever' and they didn't bother us very much. Also the Twins kind of stunk, but the introduction of the Fallen aka Megatronis was hard for some people to swallow, cuz Megatron is supposed to lead, not some Prime reject, but seeing Megatron devastated after the fallen is killed, I think concludes how important the character himself was to Megatron and concludes that chapter.
Dark of the moon: Sentinel was interesting, but stole the villainous spotlight from Megatron. Also Soundwave got played down quite a bit, wish Shockwave was more than just the operator of a planetary driller. I loved that Wheeljack character, wish he didn't die... what's his name... brain, James bond guy... Was it Q?
Age of Extinction: I am a huge fan of TF Animated and the way Megatron revived himself by manipulating an inventor to build him a new body is exactly what happened in Animated and made me so happy to see. Also Lockdown, another nice character from Animated. Hated the way the human transformers Transformed by digivolving. Mark is better than Shia, even the inventing guy was a decent character. You start the movie by hating him, then you learn he's not really the villain. Again... Megatron's villainous spotlight is stolen for a third time by Lockdown, but I prefer him over Sentinel and the Fallen. Hints of Quintessons!!!!! ^___^ Showing dinosaurs die was pointless. Something else that bugged me, Hound's lines just seemed like John Goodman mocking his own involvement in the movie, I'm probably over thinking that, but he called himself like a bad ass robot or something along those lines... Who ya trying to convince, The cons or the cast writers? How disorganized the bots were without Optimus was also quite interesting to see.
Who knows what'll happen in 'Transformers: chumps of the box office' (TF5) since all the titles have 'of the' in them, but hopefully we will get Quintesson's, or Ultra Magnus. whether it sucks or not, I still like seeing my favorite bots on the big screen.
