Just came home from seeing it. It was good times -- much better than Spiderman 3 in my opinion, as far as summer hits go.
Megatron could have been done better. Okay, so they didn't want him to turn into a pistol for Starscream, fine. But he really just looked like a heap of scrap metal with a face on it.
I also have a hard time imagining Starscream going out of his way to rescue Megatron since Starscream ambitions were always to rule the Decepticons. Truer to for, Starscream would subtlely try to sabotage the Megatron rescue, fail, then be all "Oh! Hey! Megatron! I was... uh... just on my way to rescue you! Glad you're okay, boss!" Then Megatron would threaten to kick his *** and stuff.
And, no, that didn't affect my enjoyment of the film. But you can't not do a compare and contrast if you grew up with the cartoon and playing with the toys.
