Funny vid Sir Critic.

Haven't seen the movie myself and I don't really plan to.

Loved the trap meme, the Deceptacon and Incepton jokes.

wth i liked the seconed movie because of the twins there funny.critic im not being mean but you need a theme song maybe from garbage pale kids.i havent seen the movie but odds are its sucks.but im exited about the ride at universal.

"wth i liked the seconed movie because of the twins there funny."

WHAT?!?!?! The twins were the worst part of that horrible movie! The jokes were painfully stupid. They were made out to be EXTREMELY stereotypical when it comes to the attributes of black people. It borders on racism.

It's terrible. I'm not easily offended. I'm not. However, it does piss me off when people say unfunny things are funny. I have a very broad sense of humor, so I find a lot of things funny. To say that this movie was funny is like saying that Cop Out or Mr. Popper's Penguins was funny. It's just stupid.

i always thought those 2 were Hillbillies

dude he does have theme song. it's at the end of all odf his latest reviews.

When I was a little kid I loved to watch Saturday morning cartoons. If I woke up early enough I could usually catch a rerun of Transformers or Doctor Who (Tom Baker is my Doctor). When I saw the first movie I felt like Michael Bay had just pissed all over my childhood and robbed me at CGI-point. I was really angry.

Then I decided to give Michael Bay another chance with the second one. Those twins were the salt in the gaping wound of my childhood. Their insensitive racial accents and their idiotic behavior was the last straw! I refuse to see the third one and I never want to see any other "adaptation" of ANYTHING by Michael Bay. That man can go die in a hole.

lets hope this is the last of a trilogy..

There ARE plans of making a next film without both Michael Bay and Shia LeBeouf. Even Hasbro announced this before "Dark of the Moon" ws released.

Why, you may ask? Well, I can put it like this: The Transformers films are to toy based films what Pirates of the Caribbean is to theme park attraction based films.

Incredibly successful despite being told from most boring character in the story's perspective?

Yeah, the 2nd movie wasn't far from breaking the billion dollar barrior and this movie looks to be about the same so there'll more than likely be more!

Whit all the money Michal Bay earns on these movies?.. sadly i dont think he will stop making them!

Yeah, this will be the last Transformers...

...because it only made like 500 trillion dollars.

What a great twist on your review. Funny and enjoyable to watch as always

Agreed, especially the ending reveal. Well played, sir. Well played.

I love the concept here. Excellent work Doug.

I have to ask, in your actual opinion video: Is there a skull with a hat on behind you on the book (or VHS, I can't tell) shelf?

"Objection! He's using jump cuts!"

Transformers; using the The Hangover & Home Alone method of script recycling. Wish someone would make a series on directors who self-copy. I guess Cinematic Venom does that occasionally.

Nice video, brings a lot of us back.

I've never seen the Bum be funnier; this is the first time he actually made me spit out my drink (which is in some ways not too good as I'm sure that my keyboard doesn't appreciate that).

I just rewatched the Transformers 2 review. It's still great, but it's strange, your style has changed so much- right down to the outfit- that your old Nostalgia Critic episodes seem, well, nostalgic.

Oh my god. Genius.

I loved your skit. Epic! Great work Doug!

This is great like always

:D Monkey

Nice twist of the NC/Bum video. It's been 2 years, but Chester now has his vengence ...and CHANGE!!!!!

Also, it's always good to see that you express your opinions about these films. I love all three of these films. They are fun to watch, they have good stories, and they have great action scenes. When I was little, I've always wondered what The Transformers would look and be like in live action, and Michael Bay, Steven Speilberg, and Paramount did NOT Disappoint me. The first film was great, I like the 2nd film a hair more (because like most sequels, it expanded the story), and I was blown away after seeing "Dark of the Moon." One of my favorite scenes is in the end where Carly walks up to Megatron and calls him a bitch. Why? YOU try doing the exact same thing. Hell, I don't have enough balls to do that. I love the shocker that Sentinel Prime is the film's major villain instead of Shockwave (which was stated a year ago during production). Also, I have a likeing to the cut to black bits of the movie.

So far, I've seen 9 films out of the 20 of 2011 I've plan to see, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" has earned it's place of best film of the year I have so far seen. With that said, I'd like to thank Michael Bay, Paramount Pictures, and the entire cast an crew of one of the best threequels since "Star Wars Episode III."

Aaaaaaaaaaaand here come the reply comments.

"I'd like to thank Michael Bay, Paramount Pictures, and the entire cast an crew of one of the best threequels since "Star Wars Episode III." "

Y-you're kidding, right? The Micheal Bay Transformers movies are to quality, as what a black hole is to light. They both suck them up and destroy them.

The Transformers movies are nothing but sex and guns, and, while being a guy and thus able to appreciate that...doing it for three movies over is simply treating the audience as meat with eyes and money.

Bay takes anything that is SLIGHTLY intellectual about the original concept of Transformers and simply uses it for target practice...in his toilet. He has shat on everything the original series, and hell, the second gen series was about.

I'm sorry (well, not really) but again, I have to point out that there is ZERO intelligence in the Transformers movies. There's little to no creative effort, and, basically, it's like Bay just told a bunch of SFX artists to animate giant robots, guns, and battles, and see what comes out the other end. As an aspiring SFX artist myself, I can appreciate the technical beauty of the films, but as someone that also likes some damn story with his SFX, these film deliver about as well as the US postal service on holiday.

At least the Star Wars prequels, bad as they were compared to the originals, still had some damn story and effort put into them. The politics in Ep.s 1 & 2 were annoying, but we understood why they were there.

Why the fuck Bay decided to have two racially stereotypical robots in Transformers 2...we'll never know. Why they focused ANY time on a Chihuahua with a drug problem and a broken leg in the first one....fuck if I know. And those damn parents....in all three movies it's like an unfunny joke that refuses to die.

The Transformers movies as done by Bay are 30% shit, 40% super shit, 20% droll, 5% fan service, and 5% mindless shit. To like them at all, it takes the profound ability of being able to completely shut off one's brain.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnn nd.....let the counter comments roll in.

I'm still sticking with my opinion, and everyone is entitled to theirs. These films a popcorn entertainment, and that's one of the reasons why I love these films.

One of them might be popcorn entertainment. But three of them? I'm sorry, but three of them simply requires brain death for that statement to still stand.

It's pretty much truth when someone says "Transformers (Michael Bay), you've seen one, you've seen them all"

Honestly, AndrewDeLong, can't we just agree to disagree? This Transformers love/hate feud is getting really, REALLY out of had.

End of discussion.

Meh, but if I did that, then I'd have nothing to argue about. *Sigh* Fine. Agree to disagree it is...NOW KNEEL!!!!

^Good for you bro.

Only seen the second one. Was boring. Don't plan to see this.

I only liked the frist movie... found the second one crap, and i am not too sure i want to see this one... but ^_^ everyone to there own... glad you enjoyed them... everyone is different, we dont all have the same tastes, i did like the frist movie... not too keen on the second... found it too boring and mushy...


Great review Critic... and i agree with you on quite a few things ^_^

Oh God the second one was just awful... Megan Fox managed to annoy me.

XD General Zord!!!

*Zod

KNEEL!

Awesome Review Doug:D

this is epic

i didn't actually expect them to kneel

Club a

"I have to ask, in your actual opinion video: Is there a skull with a hat on behind you on the book (or VHS, I can't tell) shelf?"

... is that seriously a skull wearing a baseball cap? ohmygod.

DISAPPOINTING. I really hated the ending of this episode. It pissed me off that Nostalgia Critic got such an unhappy ending.

Chester winning the case was not entertaining at all.

Why?

Because Bum is not a likeable person.

He's annoying, stupid, and he lacks moods. So there's no sentimental value in knowing him personally.

The Nostalgia Critic is a much better person. He's intelligent, charismatic, and his personality varies in moods.

As I watched this episode I was just waiting for the judge to throw Chester out of the building for his stupidity.

That's what should've happened, because Bum deserves no credibility. He never does.

Do you expect me to believe that a Bum review is so great that it could sway a judge against the Nostalgia Critic? NO WAY, Bum reviews are intentionally stupid, and Bum as a person should've lost that case.

You could've easily had BOTH characters do their reviews of the movie, so that we could see their different personalities. But instead you only had Bum do it. That sucks, big time. I wanted to see a NOSTALGIA CRITIC finale for the Transformers trilogy, and you didn't give us that. That sucks.

I have to disagree. Chester is likable in his own messed-up way, and the ending was probably Doug's way of saying that he doesn't intend to do Bum-style NCs anymore. Also, Bum reviews aren't supposed to be stupid so much as they're supposed to be entertaining. Why be upset that the Bum won what has essentially been his domain for years anyway?

The Critic is portrayed as an emotionally damaged manchild with anger management problems and the mental age of 12. Chester is at least good-natured. (I still love NC, though.)

Besides, if this hyperactive style of reviews was technically the Critic's domain, then why didn't he keep doing that? Why create Bum at all? NC started the style, but as Chester it was perfected.

So did you bring Mati back or not?

I guess we'll just have to buy the DVD, won't we? ;D

Mati should be called as a character witness

Wouldn't he be evil though? I mean, if they resurrected Ma-Ti, wouldn't he be "Dark Ma-Ti"?

totally with Doug on this one. I went to a midnight showing too (sort of, 11:45) and I agree. I was really freaking bored for a good percentage of the movie. Until the first robot battle (which is the only reason I watch these movies). I was also a bit confused at parts of the film (like some of the cuts, which were just bad). And also--how the HELL did the government cover up the transformers AGAIN? I mean, they have destroyed LA and Shang-Hai, not to mention several desert towns. I mean, in the last film, the Deceptacons came out on International Television! How do you cover that up? The governments in these films don't have a flashy thing (neurolizer thing) like the men in black do.
Though when the soldier said "how come all the deceptacons get all the cool shit" I had the exact same reaction as Doug. I leaned over to my friend and said "that is actually a legitimate question" And one I have had myself since the first movie. And I didn't notice to much of a difference between blond and british and Megan Fox. Except, you know, obvious hair and accent differences. And Blondie's penchant for standing around with her lips pooched out like a duck.
(and if anyone suspected that the autobots were actually dead, I have to wonder just how many brain cells you are missing).
I also agree with Doug that this movie would be disorienting in 3D, though I have heard otherwise.
Basically, it was a boring movie. Some of the action scenes were pretty awesome, I actually kind of liked the little robots, I laughed when Starscream truly showed just how much of a pansy he was, and I wish I had counted all the times where I am pretty sure sound bytes were recycled from movies 1 and 2.
Anyway, good review Doug, and one of the first I have agreed with you on every point.

It has been confermed that Bay actually used footage he'd shot from other films in this one mostly destruction scenes like from the Island and Bad Boys!

Damn ! I wanted a real episode of the Nostalgia Critic ! Not a Bum review ! :(

Seriously ? :(

You're new around here, aren't you? It's a Transformers tradition; you'll get a regular NC again soon enough.

Even though Michael Bay has said this is the end of the trilogy, it is by no means the end of the transformers movie franchise. When a new character is introduced whom we've never seen before (I am not talking about the girlfriend) it leads the way for a new film. Yes the first two films had characters in it who we have never seen in any subsequent films, but they were characters who had more than 5 minutes screen time, and were part of the thin plots.

This one minor military character that was introduced during the final act could end up being a main character I think in subsequent films, and getting rid of Shia Lebouf's character entirely a la 'Pirates of the Caribbean.'

I believe a new director and lead would make these movies even better! I say A.J.Abrims would do very well! I'm basing that off Star Trek and Super 8 not his other works!

Abrams would be okay to direct the Transformers movies...so long as he lays off the lens flares in every other shot. In Super 8 and Star Trek, he pretty much used either a real or CG lens flare effect for every scene that had something shiny in it. Other than his SFX issues (which, truly, are minor) Abrams would be a decent director (MUCH BETTER than Bay, for sure) for any newer Movies to the franchise.

AHHHHH... AHHHHH... AHHHHH... monkey... AHHHHH! priceless

I am no critic but Michael Bay knows how to do 1 thing and 1 thing only; make a movie with explosions and kick ass special affects.
Okay, if anyone has seen BEHIND THE SCENES of the first 2 movies you'll see what actually happens to Shia Labouf. I mean he is literately tortured through every action scene.
In the first movie he is chased by dogs who do get off the leash and CHASE him, not to mention when he's thrown onto a car and has 5 seconds to get off it. Or even when he's on the edge of that tall building he was literately nearly pissing himself, he didn't want to do it.
In the second movie he had broken bones, bruises, cuts, hit with shrapnel and yet still continued acting. I've yet to see the 3rd one but, being able to film in MOSCOW, Russia, was actually a HUGE deal in Hollywood. The thing i don't like is the Linkin Park song for it; it was okay in the first, awesome in the second, but it seems they've run out of monotones as well as material.

Anyway, there will definitely be more Transformers movies. Already there are 4 ideas around but what will most likely happen is they will make it more child friendly. I mean if you watched the original series then you'll see just 2 plots with the stories; protecting Earth and Defeating Decepticons. In the cartoons there were many deaths, alot of battles, and barely any dialect in half the episodes. Mainly Just shooting.

Also, for those that don't know, when Michael Bay did the first Transformers movie he had NO IDEA what the Transformers were, yet he made a cool movie based on what he saw. True he changed characters' appearances like Bumble-Bee but he brought it into the 21st century. Once again he doesn't know much about Transformers.


Anyway, Doug, as much as i love nearly all the things you've done, The Bum review was funny and your take on the new movie is just AWESOME. I do hope you'll atleast upgrade your range of movies from before 2000 to atleast 2005. There have been WAY too many bad movies made that cannot be passed up.

Your green screening has really improved, great job!

Also, have you lost weight?

The 1st movie had a huge whole in it. Ok so Shia Labeouf grandpa had the glasses that were suppose to be a map to the energy cube thing that all the transformers were looking for right? So they made a huge deal about the glasses and Shia Labeouf's character being the only one to save the planets cuz he knew where they were. Well they didnt even use the glasses to find the cube and the government had it the hole time and practically gave it to them. Plus the the secret military guys said that the energy of the cube was hidden so well that no one on earth or alien would be able to find it which was true cuz they couldn't find it. so even if they used the glasses it would have been useless anyway making Shia back story A big hole in the story all together.

Im a highschooler and me and my friends laughed on our way out of seeing LOTR extended at all the transformer noobs

It shows you're a noob for using the term 'noob' for movie watchers. I'm sure they had a good laugh at you for calling them noobs not knowing the definition has nothing to do with watching a movie. Your comment made me laugh almost as much as this review, thanks!

p.s. the bandwagon 'noob' term is pretty dated now.

All kneel for the Court of Houston, honorable Judge Zod presiding.
