I thought the establishing scenes in Shanghai was very novel, I'm mesmerized by the oversaturation of neon in these Hollywood films set in China [see <i>Push</i>]. The script was very sharp, there was a lot of funny humour, which was really appreciated. What I didn't appreciate was the editing. It seemed that this is where the traditional Hollywood pitfall came: they couldn't sacrifice expensive scenes, just because they were expensive. Never mind if the last 30 minutes was such a boring drag of 10-ton robots fighting each other while Optimus Prime laid there and Sam taking ages to get to our fallen hero. But that's just my complain. Part of it was that I was hungry. But that's just me. Ever consider if Transformers are personal property [IE, Bumblebee]? But then again, are they subject to appropriation? =P Buti pa ako, I was judging it cinematically, even if it was a mainstream Hollywood film.
