If it wasn't for the whole eating the sun thing, I'd be firmly on Megatron's side.
Technically, it's entirely the fact that we're human that we're supposed to side with Prime in these movies. Because of Megatron's disreguard for life. The problem is, the movie doesn't properly portray why we're supposed to want him to be defeated otherwise. His tyranny and such. I think movie Megs honestly thinks he's a freedom fighter in this one.
He's nuts.
But. At the same time. If there's not enough energy to get that device off the planet. If there's a way for Cybertronians to obtain energon and then move on from there and be able to go on living instead of the path to extinction that Prime was talking in the end of the first movie?
Can you really fault that? Humankind. If it was endangered. We would stomp on whatever we needed to in order to survive.
Not that I think Megatron is right. But ignoring the comics and the books. Looking at only what information the movies give us. We're really expected to go against the Decepticons for being callous, warrior like jerks who are willing to destroy Earth in order to survive.
Sam's mom did more than Mikaela in this movie. At least she had the good sense to go and get high. In the first half of the movie, all Mikaela did was hump her motorbike so we could watch.
Bumblebee.
Hrmm. I think he technically 'said' Sam. I forgot he didn't technically speak. Which still makes no sense to me. Yes, it was part of what made him endearing. But it's a trick that could STILL be used when he's in carmode and having to play inanimate.
He didn't get enough screentime to save this movie. Bumblebee is part of what made the first movie so adorable. And in this one, he was just a lost, pathetic puppy running after a master who doesn't want him anymore.
And those damn twins upstaged him so that he was the quiet background ornament while they wouldn't shut up. While adding absolutely nothing but ebonics and slapstick to the movie. I don't mind a little of that. But they got tiring.
