<<Explainable though. All Earth computer technology was based on reverese engineering Megatron's systems. Therefore firmware programming would have been Decepticon by default.>>

That makes sense; there was never any talk of the Autobots using the cube to create an army of *good* robots...

plus those would have been pretty boring scenes if the newly awakened machines just sat there once they came to life.

Just seen this (it only came out on Friday here in the UK), so here are some thoughts.

It was better than I had expected. Not much better, but nohere near as bad as part of me was half expecting to endure. My biggest criticism of it is not specific to the film but rather the way action films are now being produced in general, it seems. Everything has to be highly mobile, shot at great speed, zipping in real close, so that what you end up with is a whirlwind of stuff that goes by so quick you're not really sure what's going on until it all slows down at the last second and you can see that actually someone's just taken out one of the bad guys. This is especially irritating to me in this case because they went to some great efforts to make the transformers really visually complex, then made them move so fast in the action scenes it all got a bit lost.

Optimus Prime is Optimus Prime. Getting Peter Cullen back was great. To be honest, had he not been in it I don't think it would have had half the success it has. No-one else does Prime the way he does.

I loved the autobots trying to hide in the graden, accidentally trashing it despite their best efforts.

The part that made no sense whatsoever, though, was when Bumblebee shrunk the Allspark and made it transportable, and the military guy, knowing that a bunch of massive, near-unstoppable robot life forms with no regard for life or property are after this thing, decides to take it to a city! Surely you'd want to take it away from a populated area? This just seems too much like an arbitrary decision taken by a character to justify the 'cool' sights of the climactic battle taking place in a city block. And then at the end they dump the remains in the ocean, leaving 'no evidence'. Apart from a trail of destruction in a major population centre, witnessed by hundreds of people, of course....

So there we have it. Not all that bad, and perhaps the sequels will be even better.

Oh, and Megan Fox is hot!

Did Ben Stiller produce/direct this movie? I fully expected Optimus to have a few spit takes and prat falls, especially after the ridiculous garden scene. Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if the dog 'Mojo' (a chihuahua with a bandaged foot, on painkillers) jumped 30 feet and latched onto Optimus' crotch...
In the arena of dumb action movies, this was the star bull.
Michael Bay should not be in charge of any visual media, period.

The worst part I saw was that the writers had obviously never been to Qatar and had very little knowledge of the military. They mentioned a Predator (a small prop powered UAV) and then showed a jet engine UAV that looked closer to a global hawk.
