I love how Jen loves the autobots 10x more then the humans how it’s suppose to be lol
That's not that difficult to do, all the humans are awful.
And that's why she's gonna hate the 4th and 5th lol
Sam is still fine, and I did like Cade as well.
@@wickedsouls3402 that’s also why those 2 happen to be the worse
@@72Guyman except for Lennox and Eps. Those two were the best human characters in the movies
Steve Jablonsky really outdid himself with the score on this one. The action was pretty epic as well and seeing the bts for this movie, I don't care if it's a good or bad movie but that must have been a ton of fun to shoot and a really memorable experience for the actors and stunt people.
Yeah fr really underrated scores. I don't think people listen to them cause the films are so bad. But I absolutely think the soundtrack on these movies are so good. My favorite being Arrival To Earth
I love the fact that "There is no plan" is just "Arrival to Earth" but slowed down and with a piano going into strings vs the triumphant horns of their arrival.
3 4 and 5 have really well done scores
@@thekidtrey1949 The 1st and 2nd have rather well done scores as well. Scorponok Attack, Arrival to Earth, Optimus, are all iconic. Then there's Prime, Einstein's Wrong, Infinite White, Forest Battle, Precious Cargo is just GOD DAMN STUNNING it's almost haunting, and Matrix of Leadership. Steve Jabalonsky did JUST A BANG UP JOB with the OST.
@@thekidtrey1949 True, but in my opinion the visuals and the score are the only redeeming qualities for 5
35:55 I never noticed Bumblebee do that move before. He transforms into his car form to dodge an attack, backs up over a ramp and then transforms back to keep fighting. It's neat to see them using their vehicle forms in combat like that.
That was raw 😭🔥
They kinda do that in prime a little. Arcee often uses her vehicle mode to attack. Nice
Those vehicle mode trick shots are so badass.
In the Fall of Cybertron game multiplayer alot of players used this move. Nice to see them add it into one of the movies.
@@astoraan6071 is fall of cyberpunk multiplayer still active on PC?
Sam gave Optimus a clue when he asked him for their plan, he said no HUMAN will know.
Yes
In Dark of the Moon the action scenes & effects were much clearer, with less shaky cam, because it was filmed and released in 3D. Too much shaking around in 3D would probably cause headaches. Because of that it has some of the best action shots in the franchise.
Best trasnformers movie to this day
I agree the effects and action scenes were so good and this was my favorite one.
@@Rushking20 1 has best overall story, 3 has best everything else
@@lord2.0works perfectly stated
still doesn't come close to the Forest Battle from Revenge of the Fallen
Everyone says "ignore the plot" and then we see these emotional responses: the Sentinel twist, the autobot exile/explosion, when Bumblebee almost died... Just saying, for "plotless action movie" there was a lot of really good plot points. People hate on these movies for no good reason, same with F&F - yeah they're terrible but they're also amazing lol
Well the large plot points are great, it's the fluff around them, building to them, that's the stuff that these movies have issues with.
Actually people annoyed with human in this movie. Nobody cares about the girl, nobody cares about military arguing with each other. We just want transformers movies, not sex and the city
@@boboboy8189 well they really missed one of the parts of Transformers that made the human conflict essential. These movies insist on giving the humans alien problems, but it should have focused on giving the transformers human problems. This, alongside the decepticon conflict would have helped us be attached to all of the autobots, not just optimus and bumblebee, and help us appreciate what the humans bring to the table. Take the first movie, where they're trying to hide in Sam's front yard, not understanding how to hide and barely managing to sneak around his parents. Imagine if we'd gotten more scenes like that, or similar. Imagine if the autobots struggled with traffic laws, human nature, and the like. There could be an analogy for war veteran immigrants, with some of them having ptsd. I always think back to the original animated movie where they were fishing.
I don't think the plot points are good at all, the action is good but gets tiresome and even some of the action is stupid and unenjoyable, I'm not trying to be a film snob when I say that either, I used to worship these movies thinking they were the best movies ever, I loved them more then everything, then I watched some of the top rated films in existence and I even watched more ridiculous action movies that are "turn your brain off" fun and I realized how unbelievably stupid these movies are, like it's too stupid, I still like the first and this one does have some great action scenes but the first half is tough to get through and the second film, 4th and 5th are all just terrible, Steve's music is good for the most part and I'll always love the Linkin Park songs attached to the films, Bumblebee I dont even put in the same league because its better then the rest of them by far, FF is the same to me as well, I love the first still for nostalgia and a decent story with okay action for the most part and I enjoy the 5th a lot too, thats dumb action done greatly, the 6th and 7th are good too for it being Paul's last films in the series but the rest are pretty terrible, I honestly can't with these series anymore haha
In my opinion, While there is an argument or be made for some of the plot points, a lot of them come out of nowhere and that’s the problem. Like the sentinel prime twist, yes it’s a twist and it’s sad to see ironhide die, but once you get past the emotional aspect, it’s so out of left field and not in a good way. Because we only had two scenes with sentinel prior, his resurrection, and that convo with prime at the mountain. And one of them is just exposition for the pillars. So sentinel is not developed that well as a character. Or even bumblebee almost getting killed, we don’t see him get beat down and pushed to that lowest point, he just was there with that scientist transformer who died after having two scenes in the movie, which is in the same boat of it being sad but also not really that emotional when you realize the character wasn’t much of character, just fodder
Transformers should've ended right here with DoTM. This one was actually done well. Chicago battle was sick
Possibility: Michael Bay actually caring about making the fourth one good. I'd be down for that.
@@littleredruri did you see the fourth one
@@elishawilson5342 yes
@@littleredruri Actually Michael Bay was really gonna end with dark of the moon but paramount studios offered him more money to make a sequel and he made another one with age of extinction and Shia labeouf didn’t wanna come back because he felt there was no more story to tell from his character
@@Lakerfanforlife yeah you can tell he thought it was gonna end here he killed megatron starscream soundwave and shockwave
Sam’s intelligence is really underrated in some of these movies. When he asked Optimus what their plan was, he said “No HUMAN will ever know”. Optimus understood what Sam was warning and told him there was no plan. Whether it was a lie or the truth, Sam had to trust everything would work out
Ikr???
If Jen's emotional attachment to Bumblebee is any indication, it's gonna be a wild ride when we get to his standalone film.
This was slightly better than 2, at got pretty dark during the attack on Chicago when they were annihilating the humans. This also the first Transformers film to make a billion dollars at the time, making them the biggest franchise at the time, alongside Harry Potter.
Carly (Played Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Jason Statham's girl and mother to his two kids, for like 12 years), is based on an actual character from the series like how Sam was, and yet Michaela felt more natural.
Sentinel Prime being a turncoat was a legit surprise. In stories, Sentinel is usually a THE good dude, but is either apart of a storyline, dead, or in the 2007 Transformers Animated, a cocky rival to Optimus (the show is very funny, but very different).
Funny enough about Alan Tudyk, a new show Transformers Earthspark has him voicing Optimus Prime. Leonard Nimoy is no stranger to Transformers either, he voiced Galvatron (The evolved Megatron) in the 80's movie... Oh yeah, he's in a way related to Michael Bay.
Another detail, when Megatron shoots the Lincoln statue, it's a callback to a scene in the original show, where Megatron simply removes Lincoln's statue (carefully mind you) and sets in his seat.
This is still one of my favorite Transformers movies. Always loved the story, the action scenes, the effects, Sentinel Prime, and the characters. Even some of the characters were improved.
Same. The conspiracy aspect is cool. Something hit the moon so we gotta go see what it is first before the russians
Agreed. And a lot of callbacks to the cartoon, by the way.
Sentinel Prime is the best written villain from this franchise
ya i also agree that its probably the best with bumble bee being a close second
@@markibash2689 For me it's lockdown
I think this film would have worked perfectly as the wrap up to a trilogy. Megatron is now gone for good, cybertron is destroyed, and the autobots really recognize earth as being their new home.
Sentinel was also the best villain in the films in my opinion, while he was twisted and ruthless, he wasn't evil for the sake of evil. He had a goal to preserve their species from extinction no matter the cost, even if it meant killing off another race.
Like zod in man of steel
Can we just appreciate how godly the music is in every Transformers movie? Particularly the first 3 imo, but all 5 have a solid score.
Glad to see how invested Jen is in these movies though. They are the “turn off your brain” type but they do have heart too, sometimes at least.
If you didn't know, same composer as gears of war
@@DemonofHeavenXBL I didn’t know that actually. Pretty cool
Transformers 5 has an incredible score
I didn't like watching Transformers 5, but it has a track near the end called "We Have to Go" which is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
Tbh, that and "Lockdown" from 4 are two of my favorite tracks and they don't even come from this 'saga'
@@CrossOutBryce Yeah that’s why I said they all have good scores. It’s just that I remember fewer tracks from those 2. Still had incredible music, just not as much variety.
Jen: "Optimus...He's getting more and more aggressive each movie"
Oh I can't WAIT until y'all see the next two movies 😂
One of the coolest things about this movie is taking real life places and events and integrating them for its own lore. That and the entire Chicago sequence for the final hour is still one of the best looking action setpieces even now.
I probably expected that backstory more then transformers was on earth since b.c days. I remember as a kid confusing hating that
In my opinion this is what 4 and 5 lacked sam and family was such a big part and had lots of fun comedic moments don’t really see that with walberg and his cast
Exactly and these guys are complaining about the comedy, when comedy usually does it for people, like they act like folks can’t incorporate real life situations as well. I bet if this stuff happened in real life there would be a majority of people trying to still make these type of decisions in terms of getting the girl back and all that. At least in the first three movies they had that; while 4 and 5 didn’t.
@@kjiggidy5719 Exactly
For all the Transformers movies apart from Bumblebee and maybe the first one you simply have to acknowledge that its two hours of explosions, product placements and out of place shots of attractive women... Plot is a not even a secondary concern.
As far as my experience goes, that's true of the first one too.
I felt like this one had a dope plot with some twist
That’s why they’re so good. Sexy women and explosives I can’t complain
I disagree. This one actually had a cohesive story, good twist, and action. Better than all of them imo
@@wilbarnes7295 exactly man some of these nerds can never stop complaining
Holden’s increasingly chaotic nature as he reads comments of the day is simply one of my favorite things
This movie is my favourite film of all time. It’s no masterpiece but I somehow manage to love basically every aspect of this film. I think it is easily one of if not the best action film I have ever seen. Truly encapsulates my childhood and I have massive nostalgia for this film.
i respect opinions and all but man you should watch more movies
@@dankerbell well what if he does what then?
@@dankerbell I watch plenty
@@dankerbell if you truly respected his opinion you wouldn't have said that
Huge Statment and I'm all here for it! I love these films
Leonard Nimoy did an amazing job voice acting in this, he was also the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 animated movie.
Best Galvatron voice to date
I remember when the official trailer dropped for this, I watched it SO many times.
Same. I first saw it on theaters actually then came home to see if it released online and found it and Screamed of excitement
Lmao same I kept sitting at my mom's computer playing that trailer
The trailer was incredible! I was so hyped.
I still watch it to this day, even the super bowl trailer
I've always loved that "There is no plan" is almost an inverse Arrival to Earth. It's slower, there are more strings and a synthetic tone there, it goes into softer piano vs the strings into a triumphant horn. And it's a genius move on Jablonksy's part, to make this almost a funeral march like sound. Because this isn't a triumphant moment for anyone. Not for the governments of the world, not for Sam, not for the Autobots who are resorting to Deceptive behavior to make a point.
Ya'll should totally watch *The Transformers: The Movie* after the live action films.
It's fun and playful. Leonard Nemoy voices Galvatron.
Well that and.. you know..
But ya'll should definitely watch it :)
Patreon! Vote for it please!! 😂
Not to mention an amazing soundtrack
@@wyattjd1157 Darn right
You always compare it to the Avengers but the movie came out before avengers
Actually can’t wait for you guys to watch Bumblebee. I really found that movie to be shockingly good and very charming, especially with Jens love for him already. 1, 3 and Bumblebee are the best movies, but they definitely all provide good reactions!
Genuinely good stuff
Bumblebee never did it for me. I don't know what I don't see.
There’s supposed to be another transformers movie coming next year
@@jkhoover right thought i was the only 1 💯 like its overrated
@@bmgdann1023 it’s more than overrated.
We need Transformers 4 and 5 reaction
The OSTs of these movies are Top notch, still listen to them. My go-to when working and just want instrumentals!
Steve Jablonsky is the man!!!
People always compare this movie to the Avengers, but they all forget that this movie actually came out a year before the Avengers, so maybe that movie was copying off this one. Think about it.
Production, filming and editing is a thing, while DOTM is at theaters The Avengers are probably at post filming stage meaning they cant copy it because theyre in the middle of DOTM release
@@MeteoraFigure.09 no. The avengers director said they were inspired
I think this is the best movie in the live action franchise and there's a lot to appreciate here, from them bringing in Sentinel's OG voice actor, to the moon coverup plotline, the Sentinel twist, the focus on Transformers action, and the tugging of heart strings for these characters we've come to know and enjoy watching...
Sidenote, you could say that the OG Avengers took inspiration from this movie for the battle of New York since this came out 1yr before Avengers and the two films have very similar final battle set pieces
Meh, I kind of liked the first one better because the story is less complicated, but everyone has their opinions
Galvatron in the 1986 movie was also voiced by Leonard Nimoy did you mean Leonard Nimoy?
Edit: Ok I just got past the part where Holden mentions Leonard Nimoy
Not to trash your sidenote😅😅 but I'm pretty sure the avengers was over halfway done shooting when dark of the moon came out... so idk if they would have enough time to change their final battle scene to line up with theirs 😅 ☮️💟
No, Avengers did not take inspiration from this film. The fact they’re similar is just a coincidence. There are multiple films that came out at the time that had also a similar climax. That movie was planned far in advance and they don’t wait for other films to get inspired from. That’s now how filmmaking works.
In my opinion the next one, Age of Extinction was the best. Mark is a better lead cast. Shia was too cringe and whatever drama happened with Megan Fox made recasting her feel so off. Shia is just magically dating a model now? He was a geeky social outcast in the first one. It's just not believable. If they did need to remove Megan's character, they should've made Shia stay single and maybe heartbroken that Mikayla broke it off or something. They could've introduced a new love interest that Shia could've met in this movie. But to have him just in this new relationship and all this clout and extravagance just seemed to unbelievable to me.
“In the first movie, Optimus was sweet as pie!”
That line killed me 😂
i can already see her her face when she sees the Knight of the roundtable transformers as this damn series descends into madness
i have no idea how holden's going to explain the copious retcons and contradictions the later films bring in
@@dankerbell that bumblebee been on earth for so long?
They should watch bumblebee first
I loved this movie more than the others but I watched the 2nd one a lot on TV, I was always fascinated on how they managed to make these transformers look soo good.
Age of Extinction is my favorite even though Rotten Tomatoes puts it at a 17%. The audience score is 50% though. It's my favorite because of the villain, Lockdown. He has the best theme song in my opinion.
Battles were the only thing i enjoyed in aoe,rest was pretty Bad and Imo Even CGI was pretty wonky compared to dotm.
And holy shit the all new human Characters were fkin annoying.
The Last Knight is my favorite of the movies. 5 has the most intense fight scenes in the saga. 5 brings back Lennox, Simmons, & General Moreshower from the 1st 3 movies. Not to mention that 5 was filmed @ Hogwarts from the PHENOMENAL Harry Potter saga.
Sentinel Prime is voice by Leonard Nimoy, who also voiced Galvatron in the animated Transformers movie. For those who knew that, his casting was something of a hint that Sentinel Prime couldn't be trusted.
Guys you should watch Transformers Prime series its the most loved one by transformers fans. It has a great story and incredible fights
Ima have to let u know Holden that transformers 4(age of extinction=aoe) is more to the lore of Optimus and transformers 5 continues it but also adding sprinkles of plots
I got to say that it is great to see Jen being an empathetic person that can humanize fictional mechanical species. Expressing these emotions for fictional stories is what makes this channel stand out for the rest and makes me stoked when you and Holden have new uploads every week. Keep them coming!!
Ok whoever did the voice over acting as Peter Cullen saying “Holden drank from his mug” was SPOT ON! Well done
Thank you! That was me, his editor lol. Thought I'd have a bit of fun with it haha
I remember the teaser trailer for this movie very vividly it was one of the best 3-D Things I ever watched my life That trailer is mesmerizing me a lot
Dude!!!!! Same this may sound crazy but I sometimes listen to the trailer music of this movie because it's one of the most iconic music pieces I've heard for a trailer
Mesmerizing?you need help lol
@@freshoftheoven965 shut it hater
Dark of the Moon is definitely my favorite of the Sam Witwicky trilogy. the 2007 film has a special place in my heart but i loved DOTM so much. The action, the robots, just everything was so cool, especially when I watched in theaters in 3D
One thing I really admire about these movies is they know which characters are comedic and which ones aren't. Like even though the movies are insane and filled with jokes you don't see Optimus Prime cracking jokes as he's fighting. I think it's pretty crazy that Michael Bay understands that not all characters have to be cracking jokes but almost all of the directors the MCU hires doesn't understand that.
Realistically, people crack jokes…
Exactly the transformers are serious in comparison to some of the humans and that’s what people don’t get
Wow you managed to shoehorn in a unnecessary MCU complaint amazing.
@@dd-ye2zq an*
@@mr.malgual6892 oh no my entire point is invalid
Dark Of The Moon is one of my favorite films in the franchise, I have a soft spot for this movie because it was the first transformers movie I saw in theaters and I still remember my 6 year old me enjoying every minute of it.
Reaction Transformers 4
Shia says "YOU UNDERSTAND?" in his dialog more times in this movie than all his other films.
My friends and I take a shot every time he says "you understand?". I believe there's a scene in this movie where he says it 4 times in just 15 seconds. It's amazing.
These movies are incredibly underrated
Sure there is a lot of weird stuff in them but I am incredibly nostalgic for them
Dark of the moon is my personal favourite of the 6 movies and is honestly a top 10 movie for me :)
I feel you 💯
The first one is the best one by far ,and if is on your top 10 boy you don't know movies kid,
@@freshoftheoven965 I do know movies it’s called an opinion
@@Harris_the_Nerd u don't
@@freshoftheoven965 just cuz I really enjoy a movie? Bro get outta here
If you want transformers content that focuses heavily on the actual robots. I highly recommend watching the tv show Transformers: Prime
This movie is fucking awesome. I also love how the transformers and humans fight against slavery together. While we don't offer much help at all it's still beautiful to see.
I really enjoyed this movie 🤷🏼♂️. Forest scene was next level.
This is my favourite Transformers movie. So much action. Watching it in 3D in the cinema was a treat, particularly the final hour. Leonard Nimoy is fantastic as Sentinel Prime.
46:22 In my opinion, this is the Transformers movie I most like to rewatch. The plot line is more heavily Cybertronic and action driven in nature, with historical fiction mixed into it. Yeah, you start to notice the science loosing touch with reality when the teleporting device is introduced, but the character interaction, action, drama and comedy is better than the last two for me. I rate it at a 7 (7.5 on a good day).
Dark of the Moon is actually my favorite from the bayverse : incredible action and score, actual good plot and Sentinel Prime who's actually showed some respect
Holden saying both "I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going" and "Forgive them, they know not what they do" (quoting Jesus!) all within a few minutes is why I love this man. So much chaos Holden Thomas Hardman!
35:07 By far the best scene in the entire movie. The music, the visuals, the battle, Optimus killing at least 20 Decepticons at once, is just pure badassery. Goosebumps.
37:34 Also this scene in the books, it ended differently. After Megatron assists Optimus with killing Sentinel, he actually just leaves the place afterwards, he walks away after exchanging a final look at Optimus. And that marked the end of the TF movies. Until of course, Age of Extinction happened, which ruined alot of things.
for 37:34, apparently that is also the ending that they initially going to use because that will leave a clear window for another sequel, it was Michael Bay's decision to kill of every major Decepticons here in the third movie because he doesn't really want another sequel. Ultimately, because this movie made way more money than the previous 2 movies, a sequel is greenlit, and the studio basically told Bay that the 4th movie will happen with or without him. This is also why the 4th and 5th movie felt so disconnected from the rest of the franchise, and Bumblebee's origin story were scrapped and turned into a soft reboot for the franchise altogether, and giving the director's chair into someone else
Bay wanted to stop at DoTM
@@ariqsyafwan4987 He didn't want to make a fourth one, so when he's forced to he stops caring and makes it shit. Checks out.
@@littleredruri yes, i know that, which is why Bay changed the original script of DOTM and decided to kill off Megatron, Barricade and Starscream (three Decepticons that usually survives) here
@@ariqsyafwan4987 that’s not why the script was changed lol. Amazon leaked the ending which pissed Bay and the others off, thus Bay had the ending changed and why AOE and TLK had no tie in comics to explain their events
I will never forget as a kid my family took a trip to chicago. Little did we know a huge area downtown was shut off and set up for filming dark of the moon
I remember nobody having a clue what happened but from our dumb tourist brains we thought the giant destroyed bridge and area was a terrorist attack or something.
Wasnt until that night we read. About the movie.
One of the coolest things to see in person, so many practical things in the movie.
Oh wow that's crazy. Wish I was there to see the filming lol
Those movies are trash lol,
I was in Chicago for my 13th birthday when they were filming the final act of this film and got to watch some of the filming. It's crazy how these actors can stand in the streets for hours and record dozens or even hundreds of takes of the same 5 seconds of action over and over. I saw Shia LaBeouf swinging that pipe at Mcdreamy probably 80 times before I moved on to look at more of the set pieces. Seeing all the iconic flashy cars in places I was familiar with was super cool. The Wreckers were especially insane to see on the streets and I assumed that they would be Decepticons at a glance. I also had the opportunity to meet Shia and his agent while grabbing pizza right after I left Millenium Park the previous day. What a week that was. With that said, my favorite scene in this film is easily Sam attempting to tip off everyone that he was compromised and that the Decepticons were listening in on him. The level of desperation and loyalty that Shia conveyed was incredible.
I always thought that them making a new character replacement for Mikaela was the biggest mistake they made, I believe it would've been a lot better if they straight up just recast for Megan Fox and not explain why she has a new face but is still Mikaela... lesser of two evils kind of thing, and hindsight...
I agree 100% concerning “Moonfall”, almost empty when we watched in theaters but just plain fun kind of movie to watch, emmerich’s got that ‘end of the world’ disaster flick down just as Bay has got summertime popcorn flick, can’t help but enjoy
I forgot how good this movie was just because I really missed Megan Fox's character. I did not care for Carly and like Jen said she was 'baggage.' Besides that, the action scenes were 10/10.
This one is my absolute favourite, the action, the story, the score. It's silly and fun and I love it.
Definitely should react to the next one soon
27:55 my guess is because Sam said "no other human will ever know" which indicates Optimus may have known they were being watched.
Optimus had to have known something was sus
Really enjoyed your guys' reaction. To me Dark of the Moon is probably my favorite film out of the 5. But I do love all of them. The first one probably is the better movie and nostalgic wise. I give Dark of The Moon a 9.5/10 I love it. I'm really curious on what you both will think of 4 and 5. Those are where they really start to downfall badly. Even tho I like them. I'm just basing others opinions on them. Still excited to see them tho and Bumblebee
@@novustalks7525 Oh fr? I like Age Of Extinction but not my fav but Bumblebee is a step in the right direction with its heart and storytelling. Kinda surprised but its your opinion and that's ok.. 5 tho is cool with its Knights stuff and Megatrons design is so bada$$ but not my fav
@@TFmotionMaker I think the problem with 5 is they tried to incorporate too much storyline into 1 movie and they rehashed the humans vs transformer storyline from aoe. Also there was a lack of dinobots and lack of robot fight scenes compared to the other movies. The battles were mostly just robots shooting at the screen. Compare the battles in TLK and the battles in the other transformer movies and you will see they are subpar.
It was fun having Leonard Nimoy return to the franchise, as he played a character in the very first Transformers movie. I think I read that the discussion started at a family picnic or something. Apparently Michael Bay and Leonard Nimoy are something like cousins through marriage.
This movie pulls a lot of plot points from the first season of the G1 animation, such as transporting Cybertron into Earth's orbit and the Autobots being banished from Earth, so I guess this would make this the most direct adaptation of the source material
Of the first three live action TF movies I did enjoy this one the most, but I agree with the criticism of Carly. It's pretty clear her character was originally Mikaela, and that Carly was just transplanted in with minimal effort to work her into the story
The highway chase scene was so epic in The Island, that Michael Bay had to use it again in this movie
I love how Jen looks at Holden whenever she tries an accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As much as I love this movie, and as much as I deeply respect Leonard Nimoy, I have an eternal beef with Sentinel Prime for killing Ironhide.
I remember watching this in cinema as a kid and still to this day I get a little heated that Ironhide was killed he was 2nd favourite behind Prime. Ironhide was under-utilised in my opinion was great in the 1st one tho
@@Jacoc323 Dude, I'm the same way. Ironhide is my favorite after Optimus, as well.
You know Jen invested when most of her sentences end with "Ah"
"Oh my God-ah"
"No-ah'
'what is happening-ah'
Like a female triple H 😂😂😂
Dark of the Moon is One of the Best Transformers Movies! So Much Better than ROTF. DOTM has Great and Epic Action Scenes, as well as the Plot Twist. I Enjoyed this One so Much!
I love that Soundwave just has a lot of pets. The bird in this movie, the jaguar in the last. Cool guy.
Both Soundwave and Shockwave are cool looking mf's too. Hell, I always thought these two alone could reign over Megatron and Starscream
The bird is lazerbreak from the og transformers and Ravage aswell!
“Ravage eject”
“Lazerbreak eject”
@@Tanknuggets217 Yeah bud.
Ironhide's death was the one thing restraining me from watching DOTM. Because I really wanted him to be in the battle of Chicago he would've a lot of fun if he lived to fight with the other autobots. Everything else is perfect and has the best action out of all 6 transformers movies, except why did they have kill of Ironhide, he was literally my favorite autobot. Sometimes I even pretend that he lived by using my imagination.
Besides Bumblebee, Dark of the Moon is my favorite of the Bay movies. I feel that this one drew more from the comics and cartoon than the others. There's a character named Carlie from the cartoon,the ship is called the Ark, Leonard Nimoy voices Sentinel Prime and was the voice in Galvatron,the space bridge plot is something similar done in the cartoon,etc.
I would have preferred the original ending for this movie, with Megatron teaming up with Optimus and defeating Sentiel and Megatron wishing to just go back to Cybertron to rebuild and ending the war between them.
The critiques on these movies so far has been interesting to me. I’ve now picked up on more with what y’all have brought up but it has also been a while since I’ve seen them myself. Jen’s reaction to the Sentinel betrayal and the rocket being blown up with the hero’s in it, and then their return was simply classic.
Looking forward to the next two, I love the concept of the 4th one, but it was a little too long in my opinion.
I am curious to see if y’all would be interested in doing the Godzilla ‘14 series. I grew up with the Toho stuff and have loved every one if the new installments more and more as they progress. Makes me feel like a kid again.
You mentioned a cameo by Buzz Aldrin. Did you recognize Sentinel Prime's voice actor? That was legendary Leonard Nimoy.
What a coincidence, I randomly got the urge to watch the transformers series again, and I’m already up to TF3 and I see this video in my recommended! Great video!! Love the content
Yess, my favourite Autobots Sideswipe and Mirage/Dino got more screentime in this movie, and the Wreckers finally made a live action appearance. RIP the Arcees in last movie tho
love how the editing has been getting better over time. Keep up the good work!
Just want to shout out the increase in content from you guys recently! It’s been great!
36:18 that "my dog got stung by a bee" reference made me cacklin not going to lie lol
I love that Spock(Leonard Nimoy) was the voice actor for Sentinal. Love his voice
Love the editing Holden! Especially the comment of the day part 😂
Jen, I highly suggest you read the book Transformers: Exodus; it will give you a great backstory of how the Autobots and Decepticons came to be on Cybertron. I really like this third film. Jen, I've seen Moonfall once, got the dvd. Leonard Nimoy was perfect as Sentinel Prime.
This is my favorite Transformers movie. People forget that this was shot in 3D and was absolutely incredible in IMAX 3D. I loved it.
Agreed
I could only image how it look in imqx 3d. Only saw it in regular format
26:13 actually the avengers copied this movie for their final battle scene, the designs of the ships with aliens taking over city. The portal being destroyed having the army being killed. Avenger came out after dark of the moon one year later
The Avengers' production/taping/writing started way before Dark Of The Moon releases, they dont just make a movie within one year
I honestly adore this film. When this came out I was getting bullied at school because of liking the films , been a fan for 19 years nearly and these guys mean so much to me. Peter Cullen is my idol and I cried like a girl when the film ended (due to it was supposed to be the last one originally) this film certainly changed my life! I’d give it a 100% I really appreciate her personal connection with Bee, she’s a keeper bro .
I remember a friend of mine asking me about transformers dark of the moon in high school which I kept to myself I saw in in cinema somehow. So I told him about megetron save Optimus prime in return he waxe his head apart. I remember he was pissed but why
With three “comment of the day”s
I think it might be time to call the segment “commentS of the day”
Transformers 4 is almost Optimus solo film in my opinion while 5 focuses on bumblebee
Y’all should definitely watch the TransFormers the Movie 1986
Kinda shocked Holden didnt mention the significance of Leonard Nimoy voicing Sentinel Prime,,, but that may come after mentioning possibly viewing the 86 animated movie... however that might take Jen getting familiar with the animated show... and that's a whole childhood of material to get through
“I’ve seen enough hentia to know where this is going”. The way she slowly turns and looks 🤣🤣🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
I think Dark of the Moon is pretty okay. I don't LOVE it like so many others do, but it has really good action.
Tbh, I enjoy 4 more than 3 because it's so damn GOOFY and Optimus is SUPER jaded, pissed, and violent because he devoted himself to saving humans in 3 and they turn against the Autobots in 4.
Fun Fact: “We will Kill them all” line almost didn’t make it because Peter Cullen (The guy who voiced Optimus) said he won’t say that line, because it isn’t a word that Optimus Prime would say. But the Producers keep pressure him to said that exact line.
Which I agree on Cullen’s idea of Optimus. TF3 Optimus was too brutal. Bro just committed a warcrime. Megatron ask for truce according to the Art of War. Optimus must listen to the truce. But bro just straight up kill Meg.
Everyone says “This reminds me of Avengers.” But DOTM came out a year before. Avengers copied it.
The definitely did copy tf3
29:00 For this scene you can actually see Sam jump down before the ship crashed.
31:06 It's not shown here, but I'v always found it funny how in that scene they clearly show Stone fall off the building but in the later scenes he's still alive lol
Fun fact, someone I used to work with at an Electrical company actually sat next to the actor who played Sams girlfriend in this film in maths class in school, she ended up taking up Drama class (acting class) as a GCSE (qualification) and moved to America
Dark of The Moon is my favorite at of all the bay films, I loved the action, while the human parts are hit or miss, This Movie was amazing. Optimus always has the best lines in the Movies, Steve Jablonsky really did well with the soundtrack in this movie, Also I would love it if you guy's could react react the Transformers The movie from 1986, also i would recommend you guys watching Transformers Prime, It's one of the best if not the best Transformers show out there, they combine both aspects from Bayverse and stuff from G1!
One thing that would've made this movie even better was if they used the original ending where Megatron and Optimus call a truce. Other than that I still very much love this movie
Shockwave is easily one of my top 10. Along with G1 Skylinx and TFP Predaking.
I honestly love all of transformers movies. Maybe with the exception of the fifth film.
Imo Dark Of The Moon and Age Of Extinction were great!
I recommend watching and enjoying these films for what they are. Don't look for what they lack, simply enjoy what they do have to offer.
Oh and btw, this film came out before Avengers. It's pretty obvious who inspired who. (;
It seems like after this movie came out everybody is doing it now
Megan Fox sucks. She called Michael Bay a Nazi and Steven Spielburg ordered Bay to fire her from the third film for being a rude offensive ungrateful "beep". I much preferred Carly. The actress, technically Model, felt more real here than Mikala ever did. Not to mention in Transformers lore, Sam and Carly are an item in the cartoons so this was...accuracy?
ALSO...The Avengers 1 Final Battle in New York was pretty much inspired by the Final Battle in Chicago from this film. Whedon said he wanted to make a better version of that with his film.
