Hey guys! Time for another Transformers movie!! I have been thoroughly enjoying these! I heard that this is the last good Transformers movie and arguably the best one?! That being said, I've also heard Bumblee is really good?! What do you think? Anyway, I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for spending your time watching these videos! There is so much content outu there, and you choose to watch these videos! Means the world to me. Also, don't forget that you're a badass. Truly. Whatever problem you're dealing with, DO IT!!!! (Shia made me say it) I don't know if that applies to your problem, but I hope it helps. Lol Love you guys!
Bumblebee is great! And it's even better when you know it's a reboot and not part of that whole Michaela bay BS, Bumblebee and it's sequel Rise of the Beast are both great
Bro what's wrong with you The autobots help the humans by creating bullets.They can use in their guns to harm Decepticons😂 Are you not listening to my comments or anyone's comments Mentioning about that
You know what I only noticed later about this film? It really was written like it was supposed to truly end here. All the major Decepticon leaders get killed one after another, Starscream, Soundwave, Shockwave, and then Megatron. Then they even wrote in the idea of an Autobot traitor since they had a Decepticon traitor in the previous movie. Then it ends on a really high note as if everything is fine in the end. It felt like it attempted to wrap everything up in a neat bow.
@MarMariez ok, but the g1 timeliness and movie timeline are different. Tf3 was originally planned to be the last in the bay movies is what I was talking about.
First time I watched this movie, there were a few scenes I had to rewind just to laugh at them again - and Sam kicking the scrap out of his car was one of them. XD
And yet he looks not nearly as good as classic shockwave, + he has one line in the movie and 2 minutes of screen Time and dies like a dumbass, thanks for ruining another thing micheal
Funny thing about the subtle shots at megan fox is that, everyone still knows who megan fox is but no one even remembers the actress that replaced her lol
Sam becoming so unhinged in this movie, he put up with so much in the first two, so him snapping at all the humans for being so stupid made me so happy
Did you listen closely to what Sam asked? "I need to know how you are going to fight back! No other 'human' will ever know" So yeh Optimus knew that there was a decepticon listening
Shia labour earned $20.75 million off of the Transformers trilogy Transformers: $ 750,000 Transformers 2 : $ 5 million Transformers 3 : $ 15 million The Transformers film series is the 14 th highest grossing movie series of all time . Earning over $ 5.28 billion .
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon grossed $1.136 billion worldwide, the highest-grossing movie in the franchise to date. Paramount Pictures made a HUGE MISTAKE not offering Shia LaBeouf $55 million dollars to return for Transformers 4.
At 22:32 that's the actor who plays as Mr Ditkovitch (Peter's landlord) in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy ,Elya Baskin. How did I never notice that was him after all these years haha "Give me rent!" "You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door!" XD
Fun fact: Carly is played by Rosie Huntington-Whitely, who is married to Jason Statham. She's also a former(?) Victoria's Secret model, and that's how Michael Bay found her--he directed a couple of commercials for VS lol
Despite the criticism, the first 3 Transformers movies were the very definition of big hollywood blockbusters. Amazing action, lighter stories and overall shallow yet likeable characters. Most fans including me, started growing tired of the franchise from Transformers 4 onwards. The movies just got lazier. The story had so many plot holes, the new characters were plain annoying, the transformers themselves had even less screentime and character development and even the action scenes were less bombastic. The Bumblebee movie rectified most of problems with the Michael Bay Transformers movies but at the cost of scale. Rise of the beasts was a mix of both Michael Bay's action heavy Transformers and Travis Knight's more character driven Bumblebee movie but resulted in an overall safe and somewhat uninspiring sequel. Edit: I've just watched Transformers One and it was amazing. It was everything that I wanted from a Transformers movie. No humans, transformers centric, deep lore, action heavy movie. If only it was a full cgi movie but that would have probably cost 400 million.
Transformers One has been getting reviews varying left and right… but you, my friend, convinced me to save cash for the film’s release (though I’ll see it on a Tuesday since my theater makes tickets half the price), regardless if I can afford only the ticket and not any popcorn!
@@RustyHorizon so far ive only seen bad/mid reviews from places like IGN or any other critics but when it comes to true fans which are the only important reviews in my opinion they've been nothing but positive reviews and remember critics like ign have given shows like she hulk and the acolyte high number reviews when they are straight shit so cant trust critic reviews, only fan reviews
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. Side note: I love how Megatron stopped himself from killing Carly when she tells him 'You'll be NOTHING....but Sentinel's bitch." Like he's thinking "Primusdammit, she's right...."
@@realJoeMavro It was a very smart move on Sentinel's part. Ironhide was established to be the top fighter among the Autobots, other than a properly motivated Optimus, and Sentinel would have had a very hard time taking him down one on one, so the best option would be to take him by surprise with a killshot.
While the new actress does a well enough job, it feels like such a shame that Megan Fox's character was replaced (I know its all because of what happened BTS). If you swapped the characters, the movie still works and actually serves as a great final act for Sam and Mikaela's relationship. TF1 they meet and fall in love. TF2 Mikaela gets jealous and feels Sam is moving on without her in College and then she has to go through the turmoil of Sam nearly dying. TF3 would be the reverse, Sam is jealous that Mikaela is becoming successful while he is down on his luck, and then he has to go through nearly losing her to learn to always keep her close.
Dude, I love your appreciation for this trilogy. Many people crap on them to try and look cool, but history was made here, Bru! The second one is still my favorite.
Not everyone shitring in the movie try to look cool. As a movie us ok. But as a fan of the actual transformere all live actiin tf movies suck just my opinion. Its ok to disagree :)
We don't crap on these movies to look cool, we crap on these movies because they are crap. Do you know how they created the sims to make the forest fight scene, they took a bag of lego, and a camera and shook it really hard. Because that is how much detail you see in that scene.
What’s even funnier is in the beginning the mini transformers he has living with him are watching Star Trek and say “wait I’ve seen this one Spock goes crazy” which is what he did in this movie hahahaha
I want to know the conversation they had with Buzz Aldrin to get him in this movie. He was one of the first people on the moon, and he had to pretend his biggest accomplishment in life was part of a giant conspiracy involving toy robots that turn into cars. Or maybe he thought the idea was really cool. Its just kind of crazy to me that they actually had him in this film.
Bro, to be an astronaut, you have to be a serious space nerd. He was probably foaming at the mouth at the opportunity to pretend he got to meet some cool aliens.
@Kjf365 probably 😆. I'd love to see how the transformers were represented during the filming process. Like what the actors were looking at while shooting their scenes.
21:56 Yeah, Carly, the new blonde girl is basically if Megan Fox was in this movie the story would be exactly the same, they just changed the actress and changed the character's name, but the script is the same, notice how Carly also likes cars just like Michaela, you can see that some of Carly's lines where she prefers Sam's war stories to stay in the past makes a lot of sense with the character Michaela since Sam almost died at the end of the second movie, and at the end of the third movie with them giving a hint of the wedding it would be the perfect ending for them.
Why couldn't they just have cast Rosie as Mikaela, because it does happen with different actors doing the same characters. Just look at the Rhodey character in the Iron-Man movies.
@@MK-sw7do Apparently, three crew members wrote an open letter to the higher ups at Paramount Pictures demanding that Megan Fox be fired for her poor work performance.
the first movie literally mentions that human weaponry is effective against Transformers lol also "throaty" is one of the ways to describe a engine sound
It's just a matter of size. Most bullets aren't going to do enough damage, but high-caliber rounds are much more effective against the smaller units. It's death-by-a-thousand-cuts philosophy or high-explosive warheads for the big ones.
@@Lakerfanforlife No, we see very clearly in this movie small arms fire being enough to injure and kill Decepticons. It's a matter of shot placement. The sniper was shooting a mid-size rifle round into their eyes and it was clearly hurting them.
They said specifically high heat sabot rounds chewed right through their armor, and we see that certain weak points are vulnerable to small arms as well.
@@Lakerfanforlife The first movie saw all the soldiers using war machines against the decepticons (i forget the actual name of the gun lol) and they found out sabot rounds melt right through their armor. I guess bay forgot about that for the next 2 movies though.
Girls name is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley she’s actually one of the highest paid supermodels in the world. She’s married to Jason Statham. She was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for a few years, Michael Bay directed some Victoria’s Secret commercials and that’s how she ended up auditioning for the movie and got the part. She was also in Mad Max
Transformers Dark of the Moon grossed $1.124 Billion dollars worldwide. That was good enough to make it the 5th highest grossing film ever (at that time)
Two movies with Mark Whalberg in the same vein as the first 3, then there's the excellent Bumblebee movie which takes a more intimate approach to storytelling, followed by the recent Rise of the Beasts movie and this year Transofmers:One will release as an animated movie. Plus if you haven't seen it, the 1986 Transformers: The Movie based on the 1980's animation. Interestingly the person who voiced Sentinel Prime (Leonard Nimoy/Spock) voices Galvatron in the 1986 movie.
Thank you SO MUCH for reacting to this! I’ll never forget when my dad and I saw this movie when it first came out…in IMAX…AT CAPE KENNEDY…such a fantastic experience. I mean, as a fan of space stuff, going to Cape Kennedy itself was AWESOME, but when OP says “For today in the name of freedom…we take the battle to THEM!!!” I just about leapt up and cheered! Cherry on top of such an unforgettable life experience. Side note: in my opinion, the Michael Bay Transformers movies should have ended here, the fourth and fifth ones are GODAWFUL in comparison to the first three. If you wanted to watch more TF movies, I’d skip ahead to Bumblebee(2018), if I were you. Please, thanks, and enjoy!
It was called dark side of the moon in the first year trailer then it changed to just dark. I have no idea why because darkside of the moon sounds better
@@Caigga900 I can guarantee you that the first teaser trailer in the Super Bowl of 2011 said dark side of the moon. This is my favorite movie of all time so I am 100% positive.
So, a few things. The reason that sentinel shoots ironhide is because he is basically the toughest auto bot to kill. Weapons expert, insanely durable, and incredibly smart. Secondly, this ending is not the original. The original movie ending got leaked due to a novel that released online that showed a bit too much. Word got out and they had to change the ending. Originally, megatron teams up with Optimus, and the reason there’s so much space in the shot with Optimus throwing down the shotgun is because megatron is supposed to be next to him. Also the reason for bumblebee and Sam’s reactions. Sentinel also isn’t executed, he is killed in combat by his rust cannon. The battle also isn’t as easy as it was in the end of this film. Honestly my favorite in the series. However, due to this movie making 1.1 billion dollars, Michael bay got greedy and made Age Of Extinction, which also made over 1 billion dollars. Then TLK was made, and bayverse transformers ended. Also, shockwave was shown in the 2nd movie briefly on a newspaper while devastator was sucking up all the stuff in the quarry, and was originally gonna be the main villain for this movie.
I love the spectacle of the third so much, although the first is the most grounded and best written. So glad to have watched these with you! The next two are both downhill from here...
1st movie: Boy gets his first car, and there's an alien invasion 2nd movie: Boy goes to college, and there's an alien invasion 3rd movie: Boy gets his first job out of college, and there's an alien invasion You always have to ground a sci-fi movie in something relatable. I understand why Shia would not want to keep acting in the franchise, but the movies really lost me after the third.
@@pierceisyoung Man made transformers can't replicate the complexity of a natural one lol, no matter how many infos Megs spoon feeds ya. Funnily enough that transformation is hella OP and the CGI had to construct a truck and robot out of nothing lmao.
45:19 there’s a little detail in this scene When Soundwave is about to kill Bumblebee, the decepticon Barricade looks away, bc Bumblebee spared his life in the first movie
So something I’ve thought about with this movie. If you look at the rifles in the POV shot in the climax of the film and a few other scenes you can see additional little wires and gadgets on the rifles that I always thought were to show that they’ve upgraded their rifles with autobot tech.
From Kitten calendars Kitten calendars Kitten calendars to Sam just kicking in his engine nonstop, Shia really was one of the great parts of the movies and had some of the best comedic bits
@@LtColonelMoody Fired because she got tired of dealing with Michael Bay. Seems reasonable, since he's pretty much always been said to be difficult to work with.
Fun Fact: The scene where Megatron sits on the Lincoln Memorial is a reference to the G1 series in the 80's where instead of shooting the statue, he literally picks him up sits him down calmly and sits down on it.
Steve Jablonsky's score is personally one of the best highlights for DOTM and really the franchise in general. The fact he stayed committed to composing all the 5 films and consistently maintained the musical identity of the Transformers throughout, while elevating through each film with newer and impactful melodies and motifs for certain characters like Sentinel Prime is where I have a great appreciation for him fr. He never missed from any of his scores and this film especially is my most favorite. Thanks for watching these films, man 💯
This is my favorite movie of all time. Not only did Michael Bay change my life with these Transformers movies, but this also started my obsession with citywide destruction. After this movie I was blessed with 2012 Avengers, 2013 Man of Steel, 2014 Pacific Rim, 2014 Godzilla
My favorite of the Bayformers movies!!! The first time I watched DOTM was in a hotel room in Boston. My mom, my brother and I had just woken up after seeing a late night concert, and since we weren't in a hurry and wanted to relax, we turned on the hotel TV and started watching this movie.... Hands down, it was the best sci-fi/action movie we watched that year! Even my mom, who's not that big on the franchise, admitted that she loved the movie! After that, we got to watch the first two movies, and to this day the trilogy has a special place in our hearts. :D
I saw that this reaction was posted at the same time I saw The Pink Popcast had posted their Lemonade Mouth reaction, and it was a tough decision, but I decided to watch this one first. I'm looking forward to it!
Originally, at the end, Optimus actually accepted Megatron's truce. And he and his remaining deception forces went back to Cybertron to rebuild their home. But apparently, the ending was leaked, so Micheal Bay changed the ending altogether with having Optimus refuse Megatron's truce and kill him instead. Also the first time we see Megatron in this movie in Africa he actually shot one of the elephants which is why the others left quickly. Though this was cut from the movie i believe the reason was because they thought it was too dark and gruesome.
@@tmac731I mean, the other one would be more memorable as they actually work together and rebuild cyberton rather than Optimus just very quickly murdering him in less than a minute
The reason why there was a Star trek reference I think it's cause Leonard Nimoy, who voiced Sentinel played Spock in Star Trek. Also fun fact: Carly was Witwicky's girlfirend in the og cartoon too.And between her and Mikaela, I have to choose her, cause she's way more humble, and likeable(and she's blonde).This was one year before Avengers, so the floaty spaceships were here first.
“Pink pajamas, penguins on the bottom. Pink pajamas, penguins on the bottom…(repeat). I cooooome from Philadelphia, far-far away! ” - The Lion King’s “Circle Of Life” Go ahead listen to the opening. Crank the volume. Change my mind.
I think I liked Megan Fox more, I a bit more spice and overall I prefer her look I guess. And yeah she just didn’t seem like a real person or completely unrealistic to be his girlfriend.
Megan fox didnt leave the series, after her comments apparently spielberg who is the producer for these movies freak out on a melt down level, he contacted bay and told him he had to get rid of megan fox. It came out that bay didnt care what she said cause he admits he runs his set like a dictator.
Steven Spielberg's father fought in WW2 & he probably got PTSD due to the war so i kinda understand why SS would freak out over Fox comparing Bay to Hitler.
Its funny you say Starscream in this movie reinds you of Fred (the MY LEG! guy from Spongebob), because in the Animated TV Show from the same year as the first movie (2007), Tom Kenney (Voice of Spongebob himself) voices that version of Starscream XD
He got to watch the cartoons at some point specially prime, animated, the unicron trilogy, beast wars, G1, maybe cyber verse and rid 2015 since he likes bee so much lol.
@@brandonspeagle9950 It'd be cool as hell if he did. More people need to, I think. I need to watch those myself at some point I've only watched Cyberverse, Animated, and Prime.
Was looking forward to this one. I agree with a lot of what you had to say about the length, but I will say you’re in for a tough couple of films with the next 2 for that reason 😬
Shia LaBeouf reportedly made around $15 million for the first three "Transformers" movies combined. His pay increased with each film, with estimates suggesting he earned about $10 million for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and around $5 million for the first movie, while his salary for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" was also in the millions. However, exact figures can vary based on contracts and bonuses. I asked ChatGPT about all this lol
40:02 Actually the most common complaint is that the movies focus too much on the human characters and not enough on the Transformers themselves. Plus, you know, lots of action and explosions to mask the relatively weak story and characters
26:42 OMG!!!! "Just got John Wilkes Boothed Again." . . . . . I've watched these movies so oooo many times and that hadn't even crossed my mind. That had me laughing
Only reason I dislike the 3rd one is becouse they swaped the girl and made it all to be like his "true love" when the entire point of the first 2 was for them to fall for eachother and falling deeper for eachother. Like it just became "forced"
26:41 This is a reference to a scene from the Transformers G1 (the 1980s TV show) where Megatron just lifts up Lincoln, puts him aside, and sits on the chair
The epicness of Optimus flying and shooting that drilling wormlike bot feels the same as in Robocop 3 fly scene when Murphy flew with his jetpack and shot baddies
Pretty sure somewhere someone has already said it, since it’s been said many times in other reaction videos for this movie: When Sam put emphasis on the word “human” when talking to Optimus before they departed and were thought to have been destroyed, Optimus himself was able to confirm that Sam was being monitored in some way, leading to him not even telling Sam, their most trusted ally and friend the plan. Give some great credit right their for Sam’s ingenuity.
@@ThaBeatConductor y'all have no idea what censorship even means. If anything, the video would be demonetized, that's not censorship that's corporations setting rules swinging their money and power around. TH-cam answers to advertisers for their bottom line and advertisers make the rules here and decide what content they don't want their product associated with. So get that "censorship" fear mongering out of here when you should just be blaming profit margins and capitalism.
@@button9 Censorship is real and it's happening more and more often. Google censors so much stuff it's not even a reliable search engine anymore unless you're searching for purely technical things. Also, there's a German guy I watch who was doing a video on WW2 and he couldn't say H*tl*r because it would get his video blocked. Not demonetized. Blocked. Don't try and tell me something that is happening right in front of me isn't real.
@@button9 So I wrote a 5 paragraph essay about censorship, and youtube deleted it. The irony? I guess? It had no bad words of any kind in it, besides saying g*ogl* sucks as a search engine because it c*nsors so much.

Not everyone shitring in the movie try to look cool. As a movie us ok. But as a fan of the actual transformere all live actiin tf movies suck just my opinion. Its ok to disagree :)
The Second one is my favorite too ❤
We don't crap on these movies to look cool, we crap on these movies because they are crap. Do you know how they created the sims to make the forest fight scene, they took a bag of lego, and a camera and shook it really hard. Because that is how much detail you see in that scene.
You're reactions are CLASSIC!!! I love watching you see a movie for the first time that I've already seen...look forward to more of these as always
Yea he is great! Probably one of the most enjoyable reactors!!
Fact: Sentinel Prime's face was based on Sean Connery, but he was voiced by Leonard Nimoy.
What’s even funnier is in the beginning the mini transformers he has living with him are watching Star Trek and say “wait I’ve seen this one Spock goes crazy” which is what he did in this movie hahahaha
@@_lodeanmusic_4478 OMG! I never made that connection!
I want to know the conversation they had with Buzz Aldrin to get him in this movie. He was one of the first people on the moon, and he had to pretend his biggest accomplishment in life was part of a giant conspiracy involving toy robots that turn into cars. Or maybe he thought the idea was really cool. Its just kind of crazy to me that they actually had him in this film.
Bro, to be an astronaut, you have to be a serious space nerd. He was probably foaming at the mouth at the opportunity to pretend he got to meet some cool aliens.
@Kjf365 probably 😆. I'd love to see how the transformers were represented during the filming process. Like what the actors were looking at while shooting their scenes.
Buzz was on an episode of 30 Rock, I don't think he says no often
Usually it's a tennis ball or any other object on a pole just so they know where the head is @@gamerguy19981
21:56 Yeah, Carly, the new blonde girl is basically if Megan Fox was in this movie the story would be exactly the same, they just changed the actress and changed the character's name, but the script is the same, notice how Carly also likes cars just like Michaela, you can see that some of Carly's lines where she prefers Sam's war stories to stay in the past makes a lot of sense with the character Michaela since Sam almost died at the end of the second movie, and at the end of the third movie with them giving a hint of the wedding it would be the perfect ending for them.
Why couldn't they just have cast Rosie as Mikaela, because it does happen with different actors doing the same characters. Just look at the Rhodey character in the Iron-Man movies.
@@MK-sw7do Apparently, three crew members wrote an open letter to the higher ups at Paramount Pictures demanding that Megan Fox be fired for her poor work performance.
the first movie literally mentions that human weaponry is effective against Transformers lol
also "throaty" is one of the ways to describe a engine sound
It's just a matter of size. Most bullets aren't going to do enough damage, but high-caliber rounds are much more effective against the smaller units. It's death-by-a-thousand-cuts philosophy or high-explosive warheads for the big ones.
Depends what weapon you use cause guns almost do no damage unless you’re using a tank or some sort of rocket launcher
@@Lakerfanforlife No, we see very clearly in this movie small arms fire being enough to injure and kill Decepticons. It's a matter of shot placement. The sniper was shooting a mid-size rifle round into their eyes and it was clearly hurting them.
They said specifically high heat sabot rounds chewed right through their armor, and we see that certain weak points are vulnerable to small arms as well.
@@Lakerfanforlife The first movie saw all the soldiers using war machines against the decepticons (i forget the actual name of the gun lol) and they found out sabot rounds melt right through their armor. I guess bay forgot about that for the next 2 movies though.
Girls name is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley she’s actually one of the highest paid supermodels in the world. She’s married to Jason Statham. She was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for a few years, Michael Bay directed some Victoria’s Secret commercials and that’s how she ended up auditioning for the movie and got the part. She was also in Mad Max
She is way better in mad max, at least believable as a character.
Damn Jason is a lucky man.
@@pietro6032well yeah, transformers was her first time acting ever
He filmed something without explosions?! Crazy.
@@dylanstankewicz850 actually some of the commercials have explosions lol they are really extra
19:39 Alex trying to avoid a future argument with the missus 😅😂
Transformers Dark of the Moon grossed $1.124 Billion dollars worldwide. That was good enough to make it the 5th highest grossing film ever (at that time)
This was the first movie where the killing of humans was so blatant. You knew it was happening before, but here they are exploding into dust.
I was literally just thinking “I wonder when Alex is gonna put up another Transformers movie?” and tada!
13:01 - IS THE ABSOLUTE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS MOVIE LMAO
Two movies with Mark Whalberg in the same vein as the first 3, then there's the excellent Bumblebee movie which takes a more intimate approach to storytelling, followed by the recent Rise of the Beasts movie and this year Transofmers:One will release as an animated movie. Plus if you haven't seen it, the 1986 Transformers: The Movie based on the 1980's animation. Interestingly the person who voiced Sentinel Prime (Leonard Nimoy/Spock) voices Galvatron in the 1986 movie.
Not based on. The 80's movie was legitimately the bridge between season 2 and 3, it doesn't make sense without that movie
Alan Tudyk is a treasure
19:38 nice save buddy 😂
Thank you SO MUCH for reacting to this! I’ll never forget when my dad and I saw this movie when it first came out…in IMAX…AT CAPE KENNEDY…such a fantastic experience. I mean, as a fan of space stuff, going to Cape Kennedy itself was AWESOME, but when OP says “For today in the name of freedom…we take the battle to THEM!!!” I just about leapt up and cheered! Cherry on top of such an unforgettable life experience.
Side note: in my opinion, the Michael Bay Transformers movies should have ended here, the fourth and fifth ones are GODAWFUL in comparison to the first three. If you wanted to watch more TF movies, I’d skip ahead to Bumblebee(2018), if I were you. Please, thanks, and enjoy!
Welp, time to plan my trip to Hawaii for that free slap to the gooch. Appreciate the invite Alex! 😂
Wait what? I’ve always called this film Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon. Never realised it is only ‘dark of the moon’.
It was called dark side of the moon in the first year trailer then it changed to just dark. I have no idea why because darkside of the moon sounds better
@@tmac731 I don't believe there's a trailer that has dark "SIDE" of the moon. It's always been in promotional material dark of the moon.
@@Caigga900 I can guarantee you that the first teaser trailer in the Super Bowl of 2011 said dark side of the moon. This is my favorite movie of all time so I am 100% positive.
@@tmac731 Please link it.
probably cos dark side of the moon is trademarked by Pink Floyd
So, a few things. The reason that sentinel shoots ironhide is because he is basically the toughest auto bot to kill. Weapons expert, insanely durable, and incredibly smart. Secondly, this ending is not the original. The original movie ending got leaked due to a novel that released online that showed a bit too much. Word got out and they had to change the ending. Originally, megatron teams up with Optimus, and the reason there’s so much space in the shot with Optimus throwing down the shotgun is because megatron is supposed to be next to him. Also the reason for bumblebee and Sam’s reactions. Sentinel also isn’t executed, he is killed in combat by his rust cannon. The battle also isn’t as easy as it was in the end of this film. Honestly my favorite in the series. However, due to this movie making 1.1 billion dollars, Michael bay got greedy and made Age Of Extinction, which also made over 1 billion dollars. Then TLK was made, and bayverse transformers ended. Also, shockwave was shown in the 2nd movie briefly on a newspaper while devastator was sucking up all the stuff in the quarry, and was originally gonna be the main villain for this movie.
I love the spectacle of the third so much, although the first is the most grounded and best written. So glad to have watched these with you! The next two are both downhill from here...
1st movie: Boy gets his first car, and there's an alien invasion
2nd movie: Boy goes to college, and there's an alien invasion
3rd movie: Boy gets his first job out of college, and there's an alien invasion
You always have to ground a sci-fi movie in something relatable. I understand why Shia would not want to keep acting in the franchise, but the movies really lost me after the third.
@@johnnybraccia452 Agreed! Shia pulled out just in time.
Nah AOE was good
@@Super-7327 even with the shitty transforming? They got lazy, looks like the movie pixels after this lmao
@@pierceisyoung Man made transformers can't replicate the complexity of a natural one lol, no matter how many infos Megs spoon feeds ya.
Funnily enough that transformation is hella OP and the CGI had to construct a truck and robot out of nothing lmao.
45:19 there’s a little detail in this scene
When Soundwave is about to kill Bumblebee, the decepticon Barricade looks away, bc Bumblebee spared his life in the first movie
So something I’ve thought about with this movie. If you look at the rifles in the POV shot in the climax of the film and a few other scenes you can see additional little wires and gadgets on the rifles that I always thought were to show that they’ve upgraded their rifles with autobot tech.
Gotta upgrade with the alien tech else your x-com soldiers will fall behind
@@accywacky2699 HELL yeah!
From Kitten calendars Kitten calendars Kitten calendars to Sam just kicking in his engine nonstop, Shia really was one of the great parts of the movies and had some of the best comedic bits
Michael Bay held a world record in the second transformers movie for having the largest explosion on a film set.
at the time yes, obviously not anymore :P
@@NotmyHouse That's what "held" means
"Her or Meggan Fox" - What about a trio!?
Megan left and Bay was like "fuck it! make it double and prepare for trouble"
And omg I loved the magic treehouse back in elschool
Left? She was fired lol
@@LtColonelMoody True.
@@LtColonelMoody Fired because she got tired of dealing with Michael Bay. Seems reasonable, since he's pretty much always been said to be difficult to work with.
@@RoninSkye24
Didn't they said the opposite lol? I remember everyone had a great time with him lol
I've heard people commenting they loved working with him while others said he's a nuisance. Sounds like a normal director to be honest lol.
Fun Fact: The scene where Megatron sits on the Lincoln Memorial is a reference to the G1 series in the 80's where instead of shooting the statue, he literally picks him up sits him down calmly and sits down on it.
Steve Jablonsky's score is personally one of the best highlights for DOTM and really the franchise in general. The fact he stayed committed to composing all the 5 films and consistently maintained the musical identity of the Transformers throughout, while elevating through each film with newer and impactful melodies and motifs for certain characters like Sentinel Prime is where I have a great appreciation for him fr. He never missed from any of his scores and this film especially is my most favorite. Thanks for watching these films, man 💯
Ironhide’s death always makes me sad because he is such a cool character. Two characters I wish we could’ve seen more of him and Sideswipe.
This one used to be my least favorite but watching it now i can appreciate this masterpiece
Hey bro! Great reaction! Found out in your last video that you're from The Woodlands! I'm from Spring! Great job man, keep it up.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Not only did Michael Bay change my life with these Transformers movies, but this also started my obsession with citywide destruction. After this movie I was blessed with 2012 Avengers, 2013 Man of Steel, 2014 Pacific Rim, 2014 Godzilla
My favorite of the Bayformers movies!!! The first time I watched DOTM was in a hotel room in Boston. My mom, my brother and I had just woken up after seeing a late night concert, and since we weren't in a hurry and wanted to relax, we turned on the hotel TV and started watching this movie.... Hands down, it was the best sci-fi/action movie we watched that year! Even my mom, who's not that big on the franchise, admitted that she loved the movie! After that, we got to watch the first two movies, and to this day the trilogy has a special place in our hearts. :D
I saw that this reaction was posted at the same time I saw The Pink Popcast had posted their Lemonade Mouth reaction, and it was a tough decision, but I decided to watch this one first. I'm looking forward to it!
I’m so happy to hear him complimenting the score! Steve Jablonsky did such an amazing job with the scores for these films. He is an amazing composer.
Originally, at the end, Optimus actually accepted Megatron's truce. And he and his remaining deception forces went back to Cybertron to rebuild their home.
But apparently, the ending was leaked, so Micheal Bay changed the ending altogether with having Optimus refuse Megatron's truce and kill him instead.
Also the first time we see Megatron in this movie in Africa he actually shot one of the elephants which is why the others left quickly. Though this was cut from the movie i believe the reason was because they thought it was too dark and gruesome.
That would’ve been a terrible ending, prime ripping Megatron a head off with 1 arm is more memorable
RiP the truce. Such rare occasion in this franchise.
@@tmac731I mean, the other one would be more memorable as they actually work together and rebuild cyberton rather than Optimus just very quickly murdering him in less than a minute
@@BIGD-cc7ru it wouldn’t be believable. There no way Megatron is offering a real truce and Prime would be a fool to trust him
That debate IS STILL GOING ON even after 11 years
4:58 MB said “damn I can’t get Megan fox, time for hot British blonde!
Absolutely shout out to Jeff from Chuck
The reason why there was a Star trek reference I think it's cause Leonard Nimoy, who voiced Sentinel played Spock in Star Trek.
Also fun fact: Carly was Witwicky's girlfirend in the og cartoon too.And between her and Mikaela, I have to choose her, cause she's way more humble, and likeable(and she's blonde).This was one year before Avengers, so the floaty spaceships were here first.
If you don't think the moon is far away, remember this, you can fit every planet in our solar system in the space between earth & our moon. 4:09

Not sure I have seen a Lord of the Rings reaction. If Alex has never seen them, then it’s a MUST!!
There’s quite a few out there… buuuut idk alex would have a interesting one if dune is anything to go off hmmmm, I second this!!
He absolutely should
No transformers 4 is a must
My favorite line is
Megatron: " who would you be without me? "
Optimus: " time to find out.. " and then the mask.
I think I liked Megan Fox more, I a bit more spice and overall I prefer her look I guess.
And yeah she just didn’t seem like a real person or completely unrealistic to be his girlfriend.
Aaron, a man of culture with the Jeff from Chuck shoutout there.
As I watch this wearing my Megan fox tshirt I will confidently say I choose Megan fox ! I always will❤
No way just after I discover your channel and get into your transformers reaction this one comes out just in time
PERFECT:)
Megan fox didnt leave the series, after her comments apparently spielberg who is the producer for these movies freak out on a melt down level, he contacted bay and told him he had to get rid of megan fox. It came out that bay didnt care what she said cause he admits he runs his set like a dictator.
Yep, and he made it up to her by casting her as April O Neil in his Ninja Turtle movies.
Steven Spielberg's father fought in WW2 & he probably got PTSD due to the war so i kinda understand why SS would freak out over Fox comparing Bay to Hitler.
20:32 Alan Tudyk & John Turtorro, what a badass mix I thought i'd never see haha
Also, Megan Fox is an actress.. this girl is a Victoria Secret model.. her lines just suck sometimes lol
Its funny you say Starscream in this movie reinds you of Fred (the MY LEG! guy from Spongebob), because in the Animated TV Show from the same year as the first movie (2007), Tom Kenney (Voice of Spongebob himself) voices that version of Starscream XD
And voiced wheelie in here too
He got to watch the cartoons at some point specially prime, animated, the unicron trilogy, beast wars, G1, maybe cyber verse and rid 2015 since he likes bee so much lol.
@@brandonspeagle9950 It'd be cool as hell if he did. More people need to, I think. I need to watch those myself at some point I've only watched Cyberverse, Animated, and Prime.
@@SlicerJackie I watched all of them except rid 2001, rescue bots, and rescue bots academy
Well I did watch some episodes
Was looking forward to this one. I agree with a lot of what you had to say about the length, but I will say you’re in for a tough couple of films with the next 2 for that reason 😬

Nah the other girl more fire🙏
Shia LaBeouf reportedly made around $15 million for the first three "Transformers" movies combined. His pay increased with each film, with estimates suggesting he earned about $10 million for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and around $5 million for the first movie, while his salary for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" was also in the millions. However, exact figures can vary based on contracts and bonuses.
I asked ChatGPT about all this lol
The funny thing about Megan's firing is that Bay didn't fire her, it was Spielberg who fired her.
40:02 Actually the most common complaint is that the movies focus too much on the human characters and not enough on the Transformers themselves. Plus, you know, lots of action and explosions to mask the relatively weak story and characters
Also a lot of fans disliked how far it strays from the source material. But Hollywood always does that.
And here comes tf one in a couple days to change all of that
@@justsomebody-1665 That's also Transformers in general though? The characters and story are never completely the same or canon.
26:42 OMG!!!! "Just got John Wilkes Boothed Again." . . . . . I've watched these movies so oooo many times and that hadn't even crossed my mind.
That had me laughing
Only reason I dislike the 3rd one is becouse they swaped the girl and made it all to be like his "true love" when the entire point of the first 2 was for them to fall for eachother and falling deeper for eachother. Like it just became "forced"
i love watching movies with ppl it helps me past time so fucking much especially you alex i thank you good sir

No why did you take the holy grail one down
The epicness of Optimus flying and shooting that drilling wormlike bot feels the same as in Robocop 3 fly scene when Murphy flew with his jetpack and shot baddies
Pretty sure somewhere someone has already said it, since it’s been said many times in other reaction videos for this movie:
When Sam put emphasis on the word “human” when talking to Optimus before they departed and were thought to have been destroyed, Optimus himself was able to confirm that Sam was being monitored in some way, leading to him not even telling Sam, their most trusted ally and friend the plan. Give some great credit right their for Sam’s ingenuity.
11:13 I can assure you that this was the real Buz Aldrin. I worked on this movie for 3 weeks. We shot this scene at an airport in Long Beach Ca.
