Yeah, just got back.
Huge improvement from the first film, pretty good plot tooplus Decepticon Moonbase FTW
, Although for having it's origin from an 80's kid cartoon, there's a lot more language then I cared for. I expect that from persay G.I. Joe, but not Transformers. The human aspect of the film tended to drag at some spots, but they made up for that with funny so I didn't mind much. I recommend catching this at the movies, don't wait for a dollar movie or DVD.
needed...much less of the twins.
Hated the fact that the twins had more action scenes and more screen time than important transformers like Sideswipe, Ironhide, Starscream & Ratchet... I mean WTF!!! :-??
so where did barricade ever go?
QFT
I thought the movie was pretty good... I really found this movie more child oriented because of the reduction in screen time for the humans and the ten time increase in robot battles. I thought they took the swearing a little too far though and attempt of humor with the "comic relief" twins. I swear they were one frikkin scene away from making the movie completely cheesy. Sideswipe needed way more screen time because that Corvette was SICK!!! But I liked the way they made Soundwave the communication jammer like he was in the cartoon and I thought Ravage was pretty sweet, just sucks being the little Transformer though always getting ripped up...
They clearly tried to relate more to the animated series (i.e. Matrix of Leadership, Jetfire changing sides, Optimus getting killed by Megatron
) and the scence were Optimus gets Jetfire's parts TOTALLY reminded me of Beast Wars when Primal gets Prime's spark and became Optimal Optimus.
so where did barricade ever go?
the guy disappeared before the bonecrusher fight in the first film, unexplained, and never came back. Dead guys like scorponok, blackout, and even bonerusher made it back for at least a scene, but no barricade.
that was Grindor and not blackout. He's the same type of chopper but with a lighter paint job and his head is different.
