Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Announced For 2011

Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011

Devin nails it here, imho:

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is the Michele Bachmann of cinema. Despite all of its staggering flaws it will have its supporters, and its success is part of a trend of accepting less and pretending it’s more. Just because someone is loud doesn’t mean they’re smart and just because a movie has a lot of action doesn’t mean it’s fun. Fun isn’t just calculated in pixels on screen but in actor charisma and character warmth, in stories that surprise and thrill, and in action that is motivated and has a point that is either narrative or emotional.

Whoever told you that is a crazy person. She's horrific.

I've read comments on both sides, some saying she is a lot better, and some saying she makes Megan Fox look like an Oscar winning actress.

Finally some sensible people ( non Bay fanboys ) have chimed in. Its a shame they made more than one movie because I think the first one is great, especially for Bay. He may have style but not in a good way. He over compensates his lack of coherent story telling with OTT action that will make kiddies scream with joy and leave most other people wondering WTF is going on. He is essentially a little boy trapped in a mans body. Still he makes money and that's what these films are for. They certainly aren't made out of love and respect to the source material.

Mindless flicks, big explosions, hot chicks
dumb movies or what not...
I like... BUT
my nitpicks with Bayformers is:

- The DON'T look like Transformers
- Toilet/Teenage humor DOESN'T belong with Transformers
- Transformers is not suppose to be an Army commercial... there's G.I. Joe for that
- Profiling personalities DON'T belong with Transformers
- Jetfire is old and uses a cane??? WTF...

List goes on and on...

Now, the action is there, the effects are awesome...
it just F.Ed up the source material so bad, that it's almost impossible to relate it to
Transformers at all...

IF I see this movie in theaters, it'll be for free...
and hopefully don't need to walk out...

I'm all for a reebot, by a competent director who can at least respect the source material...

She's not very good imo. They are both bad.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011

Eh if I enjoy it that's my main concern. If others do great and I hope my friends do but if not that's alright. I know what these movies are going in and I've enjoyed them for that.

People have been saying the 3D is pretty good. And from seeing the trailers in 3D, it looked pretty fantastic.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011

The 3D is good
The Storyline is awful
The action with the Transformers is much, much better than the second one, and a lot of scenes look pretty stunning.
The "comedy" is on the same level as Epic Movie and other crap movies like that.
The movie should have been an hour shorter, and they should have cut out most of Shia's story and scenes. I do not care about him, his mum and dad, and the girlfriend whatever her name is.
Doctor McDreamy's character is stupid and the Chinese guy from the Hangover seemed to not have a script because his scenes were just bizarre.
4 out of 10

Wow Dino, after your glowing reviews and love of the series so far I really expected you to love this one too.

But look what I said about the Action scenes.
I thought that is all people wanted from this film anyway?

Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011

I've heard that megatron still goes out like a punk in this one. What the hell happened to the main villian being more menacing than the hero. i hear optimus is very brutal at the end. I hate when they make the main hero unbeatable. Seriously i thought megatron was stronger.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011

RottenTomatoes has 100 reviews at this point, and 35 of them view Transformers positively. For what that's worth. Still time for that rating to change slightly, but 100 is a pretty decent sample size, so I wouldn't expect it to change too drastically.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_dark_of_the_moon/

and here's what they consider a "positive" review:

It's a momentous achievement and it will make untold amounts of money and you should see it even though it's hateful and empty and preaches the worst kind of reactionary violence without even really meaning it.
