    I'd give it an 8. The action of robots kicking each other's asses was awesome, but the "love" scenes between Shia and Megan felt too stupid to be really believeable (especialy towards the end), we REALLY could have done without the humping scenes (twice with the dogs, once with Wheelie, although to be fair to him it was funny in a way), and I feel Jolt should have done a little more outside of combining Prime and Jetfire (he's a guy with electric whips, surely a 3 second clip of him taking down a 'Con protoform in the backrgound ala the ghosts taking down a giant war elephant in the background in Return of the King). Oh, and while the Pot Brownie incident was humorus, I was really getting sick of Mrs. Witwicky at that point (although the next time we saw her involved Soundwave calling her cellphone was a riot for me, as she had no clue who Soundwave was!:lol )

    Outside of those things and a few other already mentioned gripes, the movie was a solid edge-of-your-seat thrill ride with one or two lapses into dullness, thus an 8.

    While I'm not exactly defending the film in this respect, and certainly think like so many things it could have been done clearer/better, he did not go to 'Autobot Heaven' per se, he was summoned into the Matrix. Traveling into the Matrix, and human interaction with the Matrix are both nothing new in Transformers.

    A little above average. The crudeness had a whiplash effect and just didn't sit well with me. And so much happened that it was hard to absorb it all at first, or second or third.

    I gave it a 3. It was disappointing to see all this money going up in smokes, wasted in scenes i didn't even want to see. All i wanted were a couple of good transformation scenes. Nope, these were either too fast or so closeup i couldn't see anything. Jetfire's was cool though, i give em that.

    The pretender chick, nonhominid robots and Ravage's marblebots were money- and timesinks. Stupid concepts out of nowhere. All that cash could have been used elsewhere. Such a waste of potential.
    If i wanted to see a CGI metalwoman with a tentacle i'd watch Beowulf instead.

    Here is my blockbuster rating scale for comparison:

    10 - Reserved.
    9 - The Dark Knight
    8 - Iron Man
    7 - Transformers 1
    6 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
    5 - Death Proof
    4 - Battlefield Earth
    3 - Revenge of the Fallen
    2 - Escape 2000
    1 - Santa Clause conquers the martians (LOL, "blockbuster")

    Not perfect, but REALLY good. A lot of non Tf fans that I saw loved it. One even ventured to say it was the best movie ever made over Facebook. Don't know if he meant it but it wasn't sarcastic. He really did like it.

    I thought that ROTF was awesome. There were a few minor things that I wish wasn't in the film, but as a whole I thought ROTF rocked!
