See that BLUE area? Those are giant fucking mountians that look just like the movie fight scene int he forest. And dulles is on the east side of them in northern VA about 5-10 miles from the base of them. I am unsure why you needed a Geography lesson. Like these mountians don't exist or something?
He is referencing a wrong facility. There actually *IS* a boneyard and a full airport right out the back of this particular facility. The museum is nothing more than an airplane hangar so when he tore the doors open and walked onto the tarmac, that is exactly what it looks like. They even had the actual layout and planes that are kept in that museum. But even if it wasn't 100% authentic even though it appears they filmed on location, That doesn't mean it is 'shoddy' shooting. I see movies all the time that are considered great that are set to be in DC but actually living here I see clearly it is not DC. Our Metro system is a prime example, I love seeing them get on the metro subway and it looks like new york as ours looks nothing like that. If this is what it has sunk to in order to determine what a good movie is or not, then any movie that does not shoot 100% on location is now shoddy filmanship.
The line's in there... when the Twins reformat you can hear Skids say it before they start fighting over color. The trailer just dubbed that on top of the night scene, instead of the actual dialog that was in the film.
There are plenty of legitimate things to Nitpick than to be making up false bullcrap. If people are going to nitpick extreme minutia, then at least be right about it. I think when you actually begin trying to make plotholes, you begin tos ee it really doesn't impact the movie as bad as we are pretending it does. Giant robots take time to get places, so if they cut down an hour 'en route' scene to 5 minutes, I am not sure they are destroying the art of moviemaking or anything.
I have a question. Why do you get so upset? believe me, cursing and getting upset is not going to change peoples minds about this movie. just agree to disagree on the level of suckness and be cool man. besides, with the money this thing is going to pull in, your probabaly going to get a tf3 with just as many plot holes and lack of character development as this one, if not more, just like you like your "summer popcon" movies. Then, the series will be rebooted by a good director and we on the other side of the argument will have a couple of movies to be proud of. that, or the eventual gobots live action movie, which I am calling it right now, will be a better overall movie that tf, tf2, and tf3. I know it hasn't come out yet!
I blame the editing less and more on the fact that you weren't paying attention. Prime rescues Sam and Bumblebee rescues Leon and Mikaela. And there's an establishing shot of the airfield when Jetfire breaks open the hanger door.
Sam didnt appear out of thin air in the forest, he was taken there by Prime, Leo and Miakela were with Bumblebee, Prime took Sam. Also, Jetfire opens a door and we can see that the aircraft yard is right outside, so no teleport. I saw Long Haul, Rampage, Mixmaster and Scrapper fighting WHILE Devastator was merged, he never separated. I believe someone has posted that in botcon they stated that there where 15 + constructicons and Devastator could be made from any one of them, or if he loses a lim, he could use another one to replace it.
