Movie Rant (Rovie)

So, I meant to do this a little while ago, but never got to do it. I want to rant about movies I have seen. I'll call it a movie rant, or 'rovie' for short. ( When you pronounce it, think Scooby Doo. Love that Great Dane)
Anywho, since I recently re-watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I decided to critque that. So here goes.

First off, ( and this gets me every time) when Josh Duhamel who plays Major Lennox is watching his comrades' coffin being  carried into the plane, he turns abrubtly to watch a Black Hawk Helicopter fly over the base. I am not even in the military, and I know this basic fact- You DO NOT turn your back on your comrades or dishonor them in ANYWAY when they are being CARRIED OFF IN A COFFIN!!!! Let me say that again...YOU JUST DON'T DO IT!! I know it is for dramatic effect, but you Do. Not. Do. That. It is a breach of etiqute of enourmous magnitude.

Second, Jetfire. He's cool, as a Blackbird, and even cooler as an old guy. However, the old guy is played over way too much. It was funny, then it became dragging. More dragging, and you got tired of the guy. Then he redeemed himself....Then got killed. My Advice is less crochety old man, more of the 'retired commando' vibe. Would've made it so much better.

Okay, the ending of the movie. I'm not the first to comment on this, but the ending fight....kinda sucked. The heart crushing manuever was really cool, and the fight, neat, but seriously? Devastator was made up of 7, count'em, 7 robots. And he gets deystroyed with a single shot. Granted, a rail gun shot, but ONE SHOT. And the doomsday device? If all it takes is a flying semi truck shooting two shots into it to destroy it, it is not a doomsday weapon I respect. On the flying semi truck note- Optimus Jet Fire was cool , and Jetfire was really noble to give his parts, but what would Optimus transform into?  A Stealthy  Semi Truck, or a Semi Truck that Could Fly? Mmm, real creative, Hasbro.

Fourth, I am ninety five percent sure that the Decepticons must have a magical reincarnation decive. I saw some Decepticons that were DEFINETELY destroyed in the first movie- one even in a five minute battle scene with Optimus Prime. Yet there they were, trundling into battle. Mabye they could hook Optimus up to that device, instead of a sissy sand-key.

Speaking of the sand-key, how did it stay in the sock for that entire time? At least some of it must've leaked out.

Also, if the cold ocean was specifically chosen to inhibit Megatron, shouldn't the other Decepticons shut down approaching the depth and the cold?

Finally, and this note is more about the Tranformers in general, why don't the Autobots have more kick-ass alternative modes? I mean, the Decepticons have tanks, F-22's and things that don't have a name. But they have spikes and guns out the wazoo. I get the fact that Autobots are all peacy-lovey types, and they don't fight unless drawn into it. ( And Rachet's new off road rescue vehicle is pretty sweet.) But can't you keep the peace AND kick ass at the same time? I mean, the dispariety between the coolness factor of the Decepticons and the Autobots is huge. I mean, helicopters can be life saving. So can tracked vehicles .That's all I am saying in regard to the coolness factor.

That's all I have to say (for now) on the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
