You know what. When I saw this movie something amazing happened. My brain just shut down and literally forgot I was watching this movie. I started going over my plans for the week, fanfiction ideas, anything but this movie. It had been at least a 30 minute period before my brain was able to slip back in this movie.

And I bet you hadn't missed a freakin' thing.

Micheal Bay has that effect on people. He is, somehow, magically able to make a movie wherein people are able to watch it, but at the same time, go over their income taxes with a more vested interest.

Basically, he works on the "pretty" principle. His movies only need to look pretty, have little to no substance, and thus no need for an intellectual investment, leaving the brain to do other things.

Take this little rant for example, I just wrote the entire thing without looking at my keyboard, and whilst watching Transformers 1. Amazing, in't it?

I don't know what you're all talking about. Michael Bay does excellent work! Some of the very best music videos I've seen in my life!

It's just a pity he chooses to screen them with two and a half hours of padding.

Man, this seems like it has the fixin's for a classic ragereview.

Onward good wizard!

I can understand hating movies like this but I went in to this with just the expectation of watching shit blow up. And that said, I really enjoyed this movie for what it was and it is now my favorite of the trilogy. It managed to do something I did not thing was possible, make me want to see a another Transformers movie. I hated the second one so much but this movie actually restored some of my faith in this franchise. And also IRONHIDE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well said, Bard. I recently saw "Dark of the Moon" for my 2nd time, and it's still so awesome, it has reseived it's place of best film I've seen if 2011 so far.

It was way better than RotF. Thats probably why I enjoyed it. Otherwise it was a shallow experience.

Uhm it's a Michael May movie. Transformers is a series that contains the most appealing movies ever. I'm gonna tell you why: You have shit blowing up, hot cars racing, giant robots fighting, soldiers shooting, a beautiful woman and of course shit blowing up. These are the visually most appealing movies of all time. I had a great time at the movies because I simply didn't care about the story. I was just enjoying that show and thats what these movies are ment to be.

Any relation to James May, perchance?

Normally I'm annoyed at misspellings and other posting fails, but I found that very funny!

And yet they're somehow the most boring movies I've ever seen.

its funny how people on this sit don't like the transformers movie its a movie about giant alien robots.what the fuck do you expect Oscar wining performances.yeah the acting sucks and the third movie was way to long, but its just a fun movie its not a movie you are supposed to take seriously.

Effort. How about that? Actual effort.

Hire some writers who know the ratio of actual characters to comic relief shouldn't dip below 95/5. And certainly not 5/95 percent.
Hire a director who doesn't think his target audience are 13 year-olds on a sugar binge.
The designs could have worked, just ease back on the "scrap metal/Johnny 5" look. I don't give a fuck if Michael Bay thinks "Sharp Edges are teh Hardcore!", smooth it out.
Internal continuity - "The Fallen is out to kill Optimus, he's the last of the Primes".. "Wait, there's one on the moon he ignored for decades" Huh?

Fuck the "it's a toy-line" argument. Pirates of the Carribean got much more out of a goddamn theme park ride. Why?

Effort.

Oh come on Brad, that lady in front of Roger Ebert at the water fountain called Caligula the worst piece of shit she had ever seen, yet you gush over that movie.
Don't you see this movie to a lot of us, (yours truly included) is our Caligula?

I hate how the stupid fans of these movies defend it by saying, "What do you expect? Oscar worthy story and acting?" What a lazy, copout excuse. No... I don't expect Oscar worthy. But I expect 'decent.'

You know what did Robot vs. Robot with a teen caught in the middle FAR better? Terminator 2 - one of the greatest action flicks of all time. So don't tell me you can't get both great action and story in the same movie.

Now I'm imaginging if Bay had made Terminator 2.

It would be 2 hours of John Connor hitting on mallrats at his arcade, Sarah shows up for comedy relief and then the Terminators fight for 20 minutes. Stuff blows up and Sarah makes a "munchies" joke.

I just made my own soul shrivel a bit..

Not to mention the T-1000 would have morphed into a Mountain Dew vending machine at one point.

Oh, and the John's Dog would have tried to dry hump the T-1000's leg a few times and probably pee on him.

That or a scene in the Future would have seen a Hunter-Killer leak coolant on Reese's head, Ironhide style.

With Reese played by Dolph Lungren for the sake of making a Rocky 4 reference.. I should probably quit while my brain's intact.

As a fan of these films and a writer, from where I sit people like you say you want a descent film, you'd be looking for those aspects, which this movie had. There's was a coherent plot, it wasn't all over the place with inconsistencies, you could tell the decepti-cons apart, The Decepticons executed an elaborate plan to conquer the world, the relationship between Carly and Sam was more fleshed out than that cliched mess between Sam and McKayla in Revenge Of The Fallen. The fight scenes well done, and didn't carry as many close up angled shots, the humor wasn't as overplayed as it was in the last film.

Honestly from where I sit you truly are looking for a "Citizen Cain," or "Gone With The Wind" kind of film from an action flick that was targeted towards both the Mainstream, Justin Beiber, Lil Wayne, Twilight loving crowd along with the Transformers fandom... i.e. individuals like you and I.

Nothing you said rings even remotely true. The plot isn't coherent, and yes, was still all over the place. Not nearly as much as RoTF, but that's only saying it was slightly less shitty.

Carly and Sam were still the exact same annoyances. Carly was Megan Fox's character, only with a different face. And the humor was still aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Bay over-complicates his plot, throws in unnecessary characters and humor. Like it says in this review: There are good popcorn movies with explosions and then there are shit popcorn movies - like this.

What are simple and good action films? Batman, Predator, Aliens, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Robocop, half of Jackie Chan's library, Iron Man, True Lies, a good portion of the James Bond films, Demolition Man, or even Michael Bay's earlier film The Rock. I could keep going and going too.

I want to see my favorite robots fighting like they did in G1, Beast Wars, and Armada, not sit through 2+ hours of shit just to get to it. No thanks.

And you say you're a writer? I am too, and for you to defend this piss poor script, you must really not have any integrity whatsoever.

It must be nice to be able to simply turn one's brain off... or not have one to begin with.

You didn't understand anything I said, or rather you don't want to. This is the thing that annoys me about people, if they're burned twice by two disappointing films in a trilogy, they go into the third looking just for negatives and not both the positive and the negatives. But it's apparent that we saw two different thinks, as I was looking for what made the film descent and where it obviously needed improvement, while you went in just looking for something, anything to dislike, which clouded your judgement a bit.

My brain wasn't turned off, I'm just more understanding as to why this film was executed the way it was, and where it succeeded along with where it failed. While you only focused on where it failed...

Which is why I say people like you look for a "Citizen Kane," like performance from these types of films, because even if you are given something descent you only focus on the negatives and none of the positives...

Funny you bring up Citizen Kane when I really don't like that movie that much. I get it, and yes, it's masterfully executed. But it's no where near my favorite. That goes to "Rocky."

And I understood everything you said, and it's shit. From a few sources I trust, I heard that this Transformers was the best of the bunch, and there are still a few slivers of the first film that I manage to enjoy, so I thought I'd give it a shot. But this was just more of the exact same as RoTF.

And yeah, I understand why the film was executed the way it was as well. Michael Bay is a hack. That's all there is to it.

@TheWrittenDemon. You are of course quite entitled to your own opinion of the film. However– if I may make a suggestion– it might be an idea for you to brush up on your spelling, grammar and punctuation. It seems to me this would make people take your views on cinema, not to mention your claims to authorship, just a bit more seriously. ;)

Also, it's "Citizen Kane".

@Adnarim I apologize for that. I tend to be rather lazy when typing out a response... I understand it's clearly my opinion, but my pet peeve is that it seems that what I say falls on deaf ears... I'm not only a writer, but a self-appointed study of the entertainment industry and their marketing techniques... I do find it idiotic that we were given the impression that Shockwave was the new lead antagonist when in actuality he was just another decepti-con soldier... Yes the plot itself could've been better executed, but it was descent in the fact that it wasn't a clusterf***, as the characters were equally involved in the battle with the decepti-cons, the romantic subplot between Carly and Sam was better executed in the since that she reached out to him in his time of need only to be ignored, leading her to leave him, causing him to realize what an idiot he was so he decided to get her back, only to end up saving her...

I can understand if everything I've said goes ignored, because I've come to expect that much...

There's no excuse for lazy writing. What happened here, is that Michael Bay figured out a formula for making the most money possible out of a franchise and is milking it for all it's worth. It's embarrassing to humans, to writers all over the world who take serious time to challenge themselves and their audience, and to the once respectable (and kid-friendly) Transformers franchise. The fact that it aims to lowest common denominator and succeeds via children is the most disgraceful thing of all!

I'm not saying movies can't be over the top, with action, sex and violence... but they've tried to legitimize this series with some fairly serious acting and mild drama, and then the very next scene is showing a woman's ass bordering on gynecological viewing... you can't make concessions for that! If it were a porno, fine... but there is no consistency in tone. NONE.

Cars 2 is a much better movie and it itself a fucking mess! But it's exciting, stimulating, funny without gross-out humor and isn't degrading to women or minorities in any way! So you can't tell me that they couldn't have worked even the slightest bit harder on this film to make it a good movie. It's goals aren't clear because it's more of a corporate machine than a genuine film and shame on you for defending something so rooted in the degradation of humankind and destruction of common decency.

It was a coherent plot (I could follow it without any problems at least, even though i would probably look for another writer for future installments), the visuals are really stunning and Bay has really learned how to direct an action-scene now.
I've seen the cartoon TF:s (classic, armada, energon etc.) and I can say that they're far from masterpieces in plot... It was a show about fighting toys!
I'd take it a little more lightly than crying for a fricken hour and a half about a movie that's pretty much a standard action flick with, admittedly, a C-grade main(human) cast. (They ought to have gone all-out with replacing Shia LaBleu and Megan 2 with someone from the military cast).

I really don't hate these movies because I don't think it makes you dumber by watching it and it's a decent action flick to pop out when you're a recovering VFX junkie (former 3D-artist/compositor) and enjoy it like you do with Commando or Highlander.

No, they weren't masterpieces, but they were far more coherent than Bay's films and they actually focused on the robots. Imagine that...

Armada had a strong human focus... the coherency issue is something i'm a little confused by though. It wasn't that jumbled O_o

Completely agree. It's the equivalent of looking at the screen and saying, "Big robots change form and go boom boom, YAY!! Not bad $10."

And people wonder why Hollywood keeps making shitty films. It's cause people keep giving movies like this a pass because they are overhyped and have nice effects. Who needs a decent story and characters to actually like? It's got big fighting robots!

Oh, and yes, these films will win awards. Razzies!

Sure DotM was not very good but least it was better than awful RotF and in my book thats actually a good thing.

Think about that statement. . . "It's better than RotF". . . That's an incredibly low bar.

In total bullshit news, Micheal Bay will direct Harry and the Hendersons 2, it will features 7 control room scenes, 23 minutes of explosions, the US military running around in front of a waving American flag, and a CGI bigfoot that shoots lazers out its hairy anus, a black bigfoot that only speaks in bigfoot ebonics as well as has a weave.

Instant 150 Million dollar movie!

I just watched Todd and NChick's rant on this same movie and they made a great point about "The Line" from Nimoy. In that context, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! The needs of WHICH many outweigh WHICH few? There are a whole bunch of humans compared to the small number of robots. The line doesn't even make any sense. I'm more surprised that Todd and NChick brought it up before Spoony and Brad, but the point still stands. Having "The Line" in was just stupid.

where's that review at?

Probably going up later, but you can find it off Todd's Twitter feed. (@ShadowTodd)

Even if it is a shit-blows-up-movie we as paying spectators can expect certain quality that every movie has to have.
If I want to see robots beating the shit out of each other, then I want to see robots beating the shit out of each other, not humans complaining about their lifes, stupid parents, Megan Fox clone and a bunch of clichee figures doing nothing but stupid jokes which aren't funny.
This movie concentrated too much on the humans. It's like the robots, who are in the freaking title, are only sidekicks!
Don't get me wrong, the film needs humans as supporting cast. They are fighting on earth and interaction between humans and Bots is interesting, but this was just ridiculous.
So many characters who didn't contribute an Iota for the plot. Most of them were self references to the previous two movies.

[quote]There's was a coherent plot, it wasn't all over the place with inconsistencies[/quote]
So what is with the two huge plotholes: Ironhide's death and the Decepticons on the moon? Ironhide doesn't die, he begins to rost and vanishes into dust. Why? Why was he the only one to die this way? Is it so the Allspark can't bring him back?
And what about the Decepticons on the moon? Were they hiding there? Were they dead? To revive them you need the Spark, so they must have been alive. But why didn't they get to the earth and fight together with Megatron in the first two movies? They were just waiting for the portal?

Thinking Transformers is actually entertaining... that's a paddlin'.

heres a thought perhaps the reason these movies are the way they are is basic in the end THEY ARE STILL BASED OFFF OF A TOYLINE. so yeah its a very weak plot. but i can enjoy the first and hopefully the third at least for some good giant robot fighthing. sure not the best but to be honest i don't go for story or characters I go because i want giant robots killing each is that really too hard for hollywood to do?

I agree with everything you said. Now, granted, I only watched this shit to make fun of it. I can't tell you the number of times my sides were splitting and my bro and I were the only ones laughing loudly in the theatre. The things that really really really pissed me off though was the Khan line from Nimoy and the very disrespectful destruction of the Lincoln memorial. I guess Nimoy went with it b/c he thought Trekkies like myself would be pleased. We were not. However, I did like the short clip from "Amok Time." That was cool.

@FieldMarshalPatton^3

I'm so fucking sick of that argument. Have you seen the original 1986 film? Have you watched the shows? G1 is good, but cheesy. But the later ones were actually pretty well written. So don't give us that "based on toy" or "made to sell products" crap. So was GI Joe, He-Man, Thundercats, etc. The list goes on. You can still have a quality story. Period.

No, no, no. You don't understand. There's a difference between a bad movie and a bad movie with a FUCKING AWESOME toyline.

To be honest i dont think transformers 3 was that bad. It´s an okay average movie, a typical blockbuster.

You cant compare all movies to schindlers list.

If I wanted a movie I can compare to Schinler's List, I wouldn't watch Transformers. The genre is completely different and therefore also the intention. Just because it's action, doesn't mean the makers don't have to put effort in it.
If you want an example for a good actin movie, go watch Die Hard or Terminator.
We don't expect much, but at least a minimum of effort put into script, character development and for fucks sake, transformers!
The idea is not that every movie has to be compared with classics, it hast to stand for itself and proove its quality regardless other movies. And this doesn't.

But you can compare any director to Steven Spielberg. And Bay doesn't deserve the opportunities he's got and keeps getting.

Bay is an asshole. Sorry for my language, but he makes me hate Transformers, and for that I hate him. It's the same with Star Wars. Those movies are iconic but thanks to the prequels everytime I think of Star Wars something in my heart stinges.
And yes, Bay doesn't deserve those opportunities.

Transformers is supposed to be about robots. The Michael Day movies are not.

Good to hear ya'll talking like this. It was enjoyable.
I'm still going to see the movie but I'm going to see the cheapest showing I can see a Sunday afternoon showing when I should be one of the only people there.
I do agree this movies are nothing like what they should be. Bay's an asshole with too much power for his own good. Spielberg should have made these movies himself as his name is already all over it. He'd at least try to develop the characters human and robot to be likable and not all be comedy reliefs. His original vision for the 1st movie was basically the same as ET but with a giant mute robot alien car. That actually would've been a lot better then what did happen.
I do wonder if this could save the franchise I heard that Bay didn't' want to do anymore of these he's really wanting to do another Bad Boys movie and I'm hoping the studio will be just greedy enough to hire a different guy to take the helm because they want to bang out a new sequel as fast as possible. And, I believe Spielberg's other favorite secret lovechild A.J.Abrams will take over. Ok, now listen he has the same style as Bay with the over use of lenses flares and explosions but he can piece a more coherent story and film together than Bay ever could look at Star Trek and Super 8(ya'll really seem to dig those movies of his a lot).
The 2 things I want to see in a Transformers movie are the freaking Dinobots and Unicron as the villain and I've said that since I saw part 1. I believe this continuity can be salvaged if they do a sequel and just drop the Sam character completely. The only human characters in these movies that might and I mean might be more interesting to fallow would be the freaking NEST team as they work with the Audobot on a daily basis so you'd defiantly see the supposed main characters more as they actually work in the same place.
Ya'll mentioned human characters that Bay thinks we liked thew ones I did like were in the 1st movie and they dropped them after it. John Voit character was more likable than freaking John Tertorores(Sorry I can't spell their names but I ain't good with names) he could've played the exposition guy and done it a lot better. Or that blond girl from the 1st movie the one that found the... whatever it was in the computers that shown that the Decepticons were hacking the US defense computers looking for Megatron and the Allspark. She was played fairly strait with no dumb jokes.
Also, before I wrap this up I do agree with you both totally. Spielberg has a weird hard-on for Shia LaPoof! Also, I did know a girl that was a huge fan of his and she thought he was hot for some reason. Enough so that her cell phone's ring tone was her singing, "Shia Labauf is hot" over and over... GOD, WAS THAT SHIT ANNOYING!!!
After movie Comment:
Ok, I got to watch it today finally and I agree with a lot of your points completely.
I totally agree that pretty much all the scenes with...

I totally agree that pretty much all the scenes with Shia and his "problems" could've been completely cut out and nothing would've changed outside you'd saved everyone an hour and a half of annoying crap. And his parents did nothing but make me wish they'd been shown on screen being War of the Worlds style killed off like all those people at the end.
My biggest compliant is with all the plot holes that are from the last movie. Apparently the Transformers are still a top secret thing in this world. You'd figure everyone in the world would know about them when the Fallen did a worldwide broadcast telling the world of their excistince and what they're doing there and what they want. If they do manage to pull another sequal out of this franchise and they still try playing the government is hiding giant alien robots plot after they litterally invaded Earth and destroyed an intire city full of people and killed hundreds of thousands of people I'll be freaking shocked at their stupidity.
But, as I said earlier in my 1st post to this review/crossover I dought there'll be a sequal as the lasy 5-10 minutes seem to me at least like Bay was just like Quick we got to kill off all the villains some how because I don't want to have to come back to this crap. there was for once ZERO sequal baiting here. Starscream was killed off in the lamest way possible, Soundwave... he at least got a few good scenes and a decent sendoff but I'd liked to seen him more as he was my favorite character from the 80s series, Megatron was just strait up MURDERED! He was injured and asking for a truce to end the war(and unlike his animated counterpart he seemed t actually be serious) and Optimus just axed him in the head and ripped his face off. Now if they'd shown that he had something in his hand that he was going to use to try and kill Optimus when they I don't know went to shake hands or something then it'd make sense but no Optimus just outright chops his head off. and Sentanel Prime was even worse he was litterally begging him and he got shot exicution style in the back of the head and that was just wrong for the characters. and the biggest one of them all every one of the invading Decepticons were just magically sucked up into the exsploding Cybertron for no aprent reason outside, "Oh shit this movie is the end of this shit and we don't want to leave any villains left for a sequal!"
But, I can still see how a sequal can be sqeezed out if the studio's so desire another just for greed's sake aloan. The whole Unicron thing could still be wedged in. And since the3y didn't just have Optimus piss on and burn up all that remain of Megatron's corpse he could still be turned into Galvatron just because!
I just hop if there is another as I said before they drop Bay and his characters that aren't robots!

I'll even chalkup all the stuff I understood/liked about this movie was the crap I read on wiki! That's got to be the best way to get out all that character develipment.
I just relized some stuff I forgot about the movie. And this is stuff I relized ya'll should have figured out and mentioned. Like mst of the personalities of the other robots were ripoffs too of known characters ike Dino(Mirage) is just Inigo Montoya, but suppose to be Italian. One of the Wreckers the Red Target car one who was never named in the movie(wiki said his name is Leadfoot) is freaking Fat Bastard from Austin Powers! He even got a fat stomach or I think his hood was suppose to be a stomach... for all I know that was suppose to be a kilt. Also, just some triva learned from Wiki that Igor robot was supose to be the still surving head of Long Haul(one of the Constructicons from the 2nd movie)
Also, other movies it was rpping off that just came back to me were Star Wars. Alot of the sound effcts were ones from from th origion Star Wars like the sounds the lasers make and engions.
Also, something ya'll were semi lucky when ya'll seen it was late at night it might've been a packed theater full of teens but my showing wasn't packed but it was full of kids and I some how wound up sitting 2-3 seats away from a 4 year old that kept yelling a the screen. At least ya'll were spared that much.
Also, you gotta love the stuff put in the movie soully for the sake of marketing a new toy. Like that "Grappling Glove" because that thing didn't need to excist. the whole thing with it and Starscream's eye could've been done with just some random other iteam, but no it's the new toy that kid'll want for Christmas this year!
Also, something I just liked about the movie was it actually shown Megatron doing something to make him likable. Him feed "baby" transformers in that scene in Africa. For some reason I liked that and for some reason make you think his plans actauly do sound like he's got the right things in mind for his species. Because if you look at this from the POV of if they were humans and the Earth was dead or dying and the only way for us to survive is to attack another planet or move to one but a bunch of eco-terrorist/moralist were trying to stop us because it's wrong to them... basically this is more a rip off of Avatar or the movie that came out a year before that but no one has seen, Battle for Terra!
Ok, I hink I'm out of things to say again! sorry if I'm doing this waaaaaay too much!

I'm not kidding but I did the exact same thing when the audience was applauding, I turned around and said "Really?!"

To be honest, I liked this movie much better than the second movie more now, after seeing it in cinemas 3 mornings ago. :) Sure there were some stupid moments with the parents and at the work place, but it later went better though in my opnion. I loved the fight scenes.

Ah well, the 3D for me was okay-ish. Nothing to impressive either, still I want some of the figures like Shockwave, despite the fact he ain't voiced by either Corey Burton or David Warner.... :?

Hello, im new in these chanel and i dont speak english so im sorry if something is off or misspelled.

I never liked the michael bay transformers saga :/

I like some "shit blows up" movies but these one It was plain borring all the time...just borring...Sorry but i dont have and argument i just find it really really REALLY dull.

But im really looking forward to see michael bay "terrance and philip movie" and the next multiple oscar winner movie "Ass".

I almost forgot two things that pissed me off.
While the battle in Chicago is going on, we follow Sam and the others. But why? Optimus has to get his wings back. He goes out to fight, but everything happens OFFSCREEN! Why?!
Or Bee and the others get caught offscreen. How did this happen? What were they doing? And why did Bay waste so much time with Sam screaming while hanging on the hook while he was tearing Starscreams eye out of the socket? Why?
I don't care for Sam, I'd rather see Optimus get his wings back and see how Bee got caught, and not Sam screaming like a sissy.

I gotta say, I don't care about these movies enough to feel an hour and a half rant is necessary (thought the first one was ok, what I saw of second one was annoying, third one would be the first one I see in theaters if I do) but that was funny.

"Autobots, Roll out, eh?!"

Wow, nobody ever applauds at the cinema in Ireland, maybe as a people we are more cynical than most but we do not show emotions in public places, that is a major faux pas, Michael bay has a lot to answer for these abominations of a transformers franchise, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the producer of this movie should have his ass shitcanned for negligence for letting Bay direct for the third time let alone the second, that would have to be the dictionary definition of incompetence in my book

That I like these movies to a certain degree even with how bad they are.
But yeah, it's hard to tell which Decepticons are which since they all look the same & even when they choose an Earth vehicle, it doesn't affect their color scheme or how they look like when the Autobots do. I did like that they had the 3 different Decepticons on the highway even though they all turned into the same SUV's. Then there was Soundwave, I recognized him in the desert, but when you see him pick up Carly at the rich pricks house & in Chicago his face seemed completely different & he did take parts of his car into account when he transformed which makes even less sense since the others don't.
Starscream stands out to me because of how he moves & crouches when he shows up & his voice is recognizable to me as Buster Bunny.
I didn't know any of the new Autobots since they said their names once & it was so fast that I couldn't catch em. I remember Sideswipe from the last movie cause he had those bad ass blades on his arms & wheels for feet & all the guys from the first movie since they were staple by now, but the red bot & the smart bot? I have no idea who they are.
This movies Climax did seem more tolerable than the previous one. But the ending with Optimus blowing both Megatron & Sentinal away seemed incredibly out of character.
I think this is the best of the 3. But that's mostly because of Shockwave, Soundwave, Laserbeak & Starscream being my favorite characters from the series, & then they all died.
& the thing about it having Transformers on it hits me straight in the head, I love this Universe so much that I have to keep viewing these movies, I'm gonna buy the thing when it comes out on DVD like the last 2... Fortunately(?) I can view how bad it is.
McDormand does send Turturro to jail for what he did at the end.
They also basically tell you Sentinal is gonna turn at the beginning of the movie.
"I've seen this one before; it's where Spock goes nuts."
Not only where did Shockwave come from, but what/where did the worm come from & why weren't they tearing shit up with it since he showed up?
I'm the type where if I don't think I can stand a movie, I don't go in the first place. The only movie I've had the urge to was Last Airbender, I stayed, but I REALLY wanted to walk out on it.
I was okay with Shia for the first & even the second movie, but he was just way to loud, stupid & full of himself by this time around.
If Michael is thinking of doing a 4th, the only way I can see it happening is if Unicron comes to Earth or some macguffin that brings everyone or at least Megatron back...
Goddamnit, How can you be a true fan of the Transformers Series & have an encyclopedic knowledge of the series & make such utter mistakes & crap!?
If it were about the robots, it would have been infinitely better...

The Smart Bot and Red bot were Wheeljack and Mirage or thier movie names are Dino and Que.

You got the same idea as me about a 4th sequal would hae to be!

Spoony & Brad kickass! KEEP AT IT!

Thought it was the best of the Bay'Formers movie- but that is damning with faint praise. The whole movie comes off as a live action remake of the old cartoon's "Ultimate Doom" 3 parter.

I foresee them introducing and following the Go-Bots for most of the film.

I have seen the first movie, and that's as far as I think I will bother going. I've always intended to see 2, even though I knew it was going to be bad...Especially when I was like, "Ah crap, another sequel. Well, if I want to see it I have to watch the other one I guess." But, I just don't think I can do it, these movies sound fucking terrible...I have pretty violent reactions to movies that sound like this, so for my mental health and the welfare of those around me I probably shouldn't watch these movies lol.
