Can't even be bothered to watch it. To go to the lengths to find a video to try and degrade someone shows how immature you are.

Ah just place him on ignore or report his posts. That way he either doesn't bother you or will get banned eventually.

[DarthNeil]

Alright, I had an absolute blast with this movie. I get that some just won't like it no matter what and thats cool but mattesr not to me honestly.

The opening sequence of the movie with the battle for Cybertron was pretty cool. You don't get much of it but having played the game it was neat to see even just a small bit of that on screen. Now, you get into the space race and why we did made the race for the Moon. I personally really enjoyed that part even though it was fairly short. These two bits got me into the movie pretty darn fast.

Seeing, Sam trying to get a job I thought was fine within the movie and glad they had this in. Its a part of the characters development as he grows and its a part of life. I like many know the struggles of being in job interviews and that for me hit home with trying to struggle finding a job right now even more so. Another part of it that really hit home for me was him feeling like he was important but wanting something again that made him feel that way. Again, for me I loved being a teacher and coach. It's a job I do think is important and made me feel that way and I want that again. A job that makes me feel like I'm truly contributing something to society and some of the jobs I've applied for won't give me that. His relationship with his parents was another complaint. I like that relationship to be honest because it reminds me of me and my folks. Plus they're in it for a grand total of like 3 mins so how can it be that bad.

Seeing Megatron all beat up was cool. Dude is still ____ed up from Transformers 2 and I'm glad they kept that part in this one. Before that you get a cool mini battle sequence when you see Shockwave for the first time and that was cool. Then you get the following assassinations which we're cool and helped along with the story line. Ken Jeong getting tossed out the window was awesome but his character could have been filled by someone else and the same for Malcovich.

All along the way you're getting the Autobots finding out that they gotta go back to the Moon. Since they have a spaceship there and Sentinel Prime and the additional pieces for the space bridge.They bring him back and you're thinking alright another awesome autobot to help kick Decepticon ***. Of course Sam with the help of Agent Simmons figure out that oh ____ they're being played like a fiddle. We then get a shocker when Sentinel Prime flips sides and kills Ironhide (my jaw dropped).

We then get the Autobots leaving Earth because the US Govt was being the US Govt and not thinking. Their shuttle blowing up totally made me think of watching the Challenger Explosion. This starts the final battle sequence of the movie which got me personally sitting in the front of my seat.

Sam going after his Carly (who I thought the Rosie Huntington-Whiteley did a decent job to be totally honest) get everything going. You find out of course the Autobots aren't dead and they're ready to kick ***. Which of course is a problem because Megatron, Sentinel, and Shockwave making it a real pain in the ***. I mean they want to bring Cybertron here to make us be their slaves.

You get Prime taking out Shockwaves helper as he's taking out a building. Then you get where you think Bumblebee is gonna get taken out but kills Soundwave I think. Soundwave gets his *** whooped and killed which was awesome. Sam kills Starscream again more awesomeness to the final battle.

Finally, you Optimus and Sentinel fighting. While they're fighting Sam and Patrick Dempsy's character (who is a total douche bag but played well) fight over one of the beacons. I'm thinking while Prime and Sentinel fight that this might not end well for Optimus. He gets beat up really bad losing an arm, but just when you think he's gonna die (again) Megatron steps in. He had just gotten played like a _____ and takes out Sentinel for the most part. Then Optimus kills Megatron and shows even with one arm he's a badass Autobot then for good measure takes out Sentinel.

Thats a lot of words and retells the movie kind of. :lol Maybe how I feel doesn't come across well in that. The comedy with the little robots worked for me for the most part, the storyline flowed nicely, the action kept me in it. I walked and I was pumped and ready for more Transformers. As I said if others don't like it thats cool. Thats your right but I ain't joining ya in this one.

Two 3D movie tickets... $25+
Two drinks, one bag of popcorn, and a Mars bar (it's a deal)... $17
Gas to drive over an hour for the nearest (adequate) cinema... $40+
Babysitter for watching the kids (eight hours)... $80

Respect your opinion Josh, but this was definitely not cool. Mr. Bay, I want my $150+ back please. Thanks.

Optimus gets sidetracked (again) by wires. Enough said.

This is the best summer movie of the summer. It gets an awesome out of awesome.

That's how it should be rated. :lol

[Ash Housewares]

Ouch two infractions. Didnt think it would be long before the kiddies ran off to tell the teacher.

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

I'm obviously still getting to him if he's (he is) put me on ignore and he still feels the need to chime in.

And you were busting on someone else for using the wrong form of sight. Teacher. Teacher. What's wrong here?

[DarthNeil]

Sorry Neil. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I know, I read your review-- and several other ones on here after watching it this afternoon because I was still trying to sort things out in my head. I respect your opinion-- but this movie, in my opinion, had too many misses and false notes. No amount of awesome CGI robots fighting could change that.

If anyone can explain why John Malkovich needed to be in this movie with that character I'll tip my hat to them. Wheeljack (my God, was that Wheeljack???) who looked like a 10 year old kid designed the face as a "smart" (insert Einstein's face here-- well, it worked for Yoda didn't it?) robot... I could go on and on. Very disappointing. Lots of character development for Shia's Sam-- too bad there was no development (except for hobo Megatron) for any of the Transformers.

[CelticPredator]

I'll never understand why these movies bring up so much loathing and hate....seriously, it's part 3...if you didnt know what you were going to see, then why did you watch it? It wasnt going to have a drastic change....

[Darth Snoopy]

This is pure comedy! :lol :lol :lol

I think everyone can agree that John Malkovich and Ken Jeong were completely pointless.

[DarthNeil]

Sorry it fell short for ya. :duff

Ironhide gets killed and there's not even an acknowledgement from Prime??? Or did I miss something?

[Darth Snoopy]

Wow, Darth Neil! :horror

I am never going to complain about the theater prices here again!

[The Josh]

Ironhide gets killed and there's not even an acknowledgement from Prime??? Or did I miss something?

No, he didn't say anything as far as I know but that moment made my jaw drop to the floor.

[DarthNeil]

I think everyone can agree that John Malkovich and Ken Jeong were completely pointless.

So was the Victoria Secret model. Did you notice that EVERY woman in the background was a model? Bay truly understands the term casting couch. Brutal. If you want to make it seem real don't have the office staff look like they're walking a runway.

[The Josh]

Wow, Darth Neil! :horror

I am never going to complain about the theater prices here again!

I hope thats the price for the total of two tickets. I paid $32 for two tickets for me and Dad. That was IMAX though.

[Ash Housewares]

I'm in the thread. You need a timeout.

I dont need a timeout. I'm on my IPhone and I'll Post wherever I please.

[CelticPredator]

Then banned I guess.

Over Transformers. How sad.

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Killing Ironhide was the one of the reasons it lost points for me. He was my favorite.

[Ash Housewares]

Not really. I'll probably be back with a new IP. Wouldn't be the first time.

[CelticPredator]

Me too. It was shocking. But I guess someone had to die.

[CelticPredator]

Not really. I'll probably be back with a new IP. Wouldn't be the first time.

Well, there ya go.

I cant believe you're going to get banned over an obviously idioic movie. It's just so stupid.

[Darth Snoopy]

I dont need a timeout. I'm on my IPhone and I'll Post wherever I please.

Yeah, same here. Couldn't believe they killed him off and killing Jazz in the first was reasons it lost points with me.

[DarthNeil]

I dont need a timeout. I'm on my IPhone and I'll Post wherever I please.

Post wherever-- but stop the insults or you won't have a choice.

Thanks.

[Darth Snoopy]

I didn't like them killing off Ironhide in TF3.

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

I thought she was much better then Megan Fox and enjoyed her more. Wow. . . you noticed the background actors? You must be really observant. I have to watch a movie twice just to get a keen sense of the of the score. Background is like third viewing. Bravo.

[Ash Housewares]

How on earth did you get that photo of me?

[Darth Snoopy]

Satellite. Smile! :wave

[Ash Housewares]

Post wherever-- but stop the insults or you won't have a choice.

Thanks.

Works both ways. Bet you didn't give infractions to the others who are constantly using pics and other means to try and undermine me. But you're probably all friends so I guess it's Okay.

[The Josh]

I didn't like them killing off Ironhide in TF3.

Ditto :duff I looked over to my Dad (after picking up my jaw) and told him they just killed fraking Ironhide.

[DarthNeil]

I have no friends. I'm a moderator. I ride a pale horse.

Relax and share without the namecalling and immaturity. Thanks.

[Darth Snoopy]

Ditto :duff I looked over to my Dad (after picking up my jaw) and told him they just killed fraking Ironhide.

I looked at my girl and whispered "Ironhide is dead! That sucks!"

She just rolled her eyes at me. Heartless wench. :mad: :lol

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Ditto :duff I looked over to my Dad (after picking up my jaw) and told him they just killed fraking Ironhide.

Yeah, I did the same to my friend, who already knew he died, but wouldn't confirm it exactly beforehand.

My question is did Wheelie and the crazy bot(don't remember his name) die? They never really said anything after the ship they were in crashed.

Wheelie was awesome too.

[Darth Snoopy]

Yeah, I did the same to my friend, who already knew he died, but wouldn't confirm it exactly beforehand.

Wheelie was awesome too.

His name was Brains and I think they both died in the crash.

[Natrix]

I'll never understand why these movies bring up so much loathing and hate....seriously, it's part 3...if you didnt know what you were going to see, then why did you watch it? It wasnt going to have a drastic change....

Easy, it's called "Bait and Switch".

After everyone finally acknowledged part 2 was a mess, they blamed it on the writer's strike and said they corrected all the issues for part 3...didn't happen by a long shot. I wanted to believe...

[The Josh]

Thats not right Snoop. :monkey2

I would assume they did as well since we don't see anything from them the rest of time.

[Rock83]

Just watched the movie.

What i hoped for in this one was more focus on Autobot vs Decepticon action instead of humans vs Robots in the final showdown,but to be honest i was really dissappointed.
I don't mind involving Sam and the soldiers in the battlefield but it should definitely not leave the autobots somewhat in the shadows which i kinda felt in the last battle scenes.I felt like it was 70% Humans and 30% Autobots.

[Ash Housewares]

Easy, it's called "Bait and Switch".

After everyone finally acknowledged part 2 was a mess, they blamed it on the writer's strike and said they corrected all the issues for part 3...didn't happen by a long shot. I wanted to believe...

:exactly: I didn't want to hate this movie. I wanted it to be better than 2 which it was but only just. People seem to think i'm hating on this film because of Michael Bay. I'm hating on it because he lied to us.

[CelticPredator]

How did it lie? It focused on a single plot. Space-Bridge.

Had less ****y humor. (Oh it was always going to have goofy Bay humor...that's a fact)

So...I dunno.

[DarthNeil]

We're not friends? :monkey2

I'd only hurt you.




I would assume they did as well since we don't see anything from them the rest of time.

And therein lies one of the examples of the major script/logic problems. It's like they spent so much time focused on the CGI battle scenes that character development and making the audience even care about the players was put on the back burner for later-- but unfortunately never didn't work in the way Bieber preaches. It was a problem in ROTF which was laid at the door of the writers' strike...

I was optimistic going in (avoiding any and all spoilers). I liked Sentinel Prime's flip, Ironhide's death was shocking-- but it should have meant something. His death was no different than Wheeljack (again, was that actually him?????) or the two idiotbots who we're not 100% sure they even died.

[IrishJedi]

One day some of you are going to wake up and be pretty embarrassed that you publicly defended the 2nd two films in this franchise. :lol

[Kabukiman]

I felt like it was 70% Humans and 30% Autobots.

That was my problem with the first one: not enough Transformers. Transformer on-screen time is probably why I'm the only person on Earth who liked ROTF and thought the first one was just kinda okay.

[Kabukiman]

(again, was that actually him?????)

Yep, George Coe is listed as voicing him here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399103/fullcredits#cast

[CelticPredator]

One day some of you are going to wake up and be pretty embarrassed that you publicly defended the 2nd two films in this franchise. :lol

____ no. Because I KNOW what they are. 2 hours of idiotic, childish, entertainment. I'll never call these movies "good". I just call them "fun".

They remind me of playing with toys as a kid. "Pew pew!" :lol

Maybe i'll hate 'em one day...but i'm not blind here. I know what they are, and what they're ment to be. :hi5:

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

That was my problem with the first one: not enough Transformers. Transformer on-screen time is probably why I'm the only person on Earth who liked ROTF and thought the first one was just kinda okay.

You're not. I've enjoyed them all the same. People whined after the first one cause they didn't focus on the bots enough, In the second people whined the story sucked and the twins were racists despite devoting a lot of time to the bots, and now with the third we have a ton of bots, but also a simple to follow story involving to many humans, and people are still whining.

I dunno. I go to the movies for nothing more then to be entertained, and all three films did that for me.

[DarthNeil]

Yep, George Coe is listed as voicing him here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399103/fullcredits#cast

:thud:

What a complete waste of both a character and a character design.

[Darth Snoopy]

One day some of you are going to wake up and be pretty embarrassed that you publicly defended the 2nd two films in this franchise. :lol

Nope.

If saying that I enjoyed watching these movies is "publicly defending" them then so be it.

Seeing TF3 satisfied one reason I go to the movies...to have a good time. I had a good time watching it and I enjoyed sharing that good time with people I care about.

No way am I embarrassed about that. :lecture :peace

[The Josh]

I'd only hurt you.

Well, thats better than the alternative. :lol


One day some of you are going to wake up and be pretty embarrassed that you publicly defended the 2nd two films in this franchise. :lol

Not a chance in hell. I enjoyed it and have no problems stating so and stating why I liked it. I don't give a darn if you can accept it or not. Your feelings are not why I go to the movies or why I enjoy them. Sorry Carl. :duff

Edit: That goes for anyone that thinks I should feel the way they do or thinks I should feel embarrassed for any movie I like that they don't.

[Josette]

I love the movie verse more for the potential it had than what we got in the movies. The movie verse comics and books are better than the films.

The first movie is really the only solid one. DOTM improved over ROTF in some ways, but in others it was more of the same.

I've read better movie verse fan fiction than what we got in either ROTF or DOTM.

The worst thing for me in this one is Ironhide being murdered so senselessly and not even getting a mention afterward. He's my favorite, and even if the movie had been fantastic (it wasn't), I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as much because of that.

[plasmid303]

As much as I'm dismayed by how RotF and DotM turned out, I wouldn't be against a 4th film set in Bay's universe. Next time though, get a better writer.

[The Ween]

I just got back from seeing this and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing another too Plasmid, though I'm wondering if there will be one with Shia not willing to do another one and didn't Bay say he was out too?

[The Josh]

Glad you liked it ween. :duff

[Deeznutz6]

I agree 100%. People on this site are their own worst enemies because they know all about these characters. Millions of people though went to the theaters looking for a kickass action movie and they loved what they saw.

[Cryoguns]

I looked at my girl and whispered "Ironhide is dead! That sucks!"

She just rolled her eyes at me. Heartless wench. :mad: :lol

My wife rolled her eyes at me too, but more because my Dodge Challenger is named "Shockwave".

"You named your car after a villain?"

[TeXaZMsM87]

Went and saw this today and I really enjoyed it. A lot better than the 2nd film and the 3D was freakin awesome.

[The Mike]

Here is the biggest problem, its not BAY, its these ____in idiot writers.

Given that Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman were credited for both Transformers and TF: ROTF, I would say you can't hang the writers on this one especially since we've seen Orci and Kurtzman go on to write fantastic things including Star Trek and the upcoming Cowboys and Aliens. As far as I can see Ehren Kruger was solely credited (at least on IMDB and the couple of TF sites I hit) as writer and he was one of the writers on ROTF so even as people are saying that this is far better than that, the same writer had a hand in both. Bay does what he does, gives us visual candy that makes you smile and talk about when you leave the theater but nothing he has helmed is fairly deep or thought provoking and that isn't his thing.

This thing made amazing amounts of cash and look for the studio to throw everything they can at both Michael Bay and Shia LeBeouf to get them both back. Remember both Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi said after Spider-Man 2 they were done, publically, over and over again and then all of a sudden they were signed up for number 3. I wouldn't be shocked if that happens here hopefully with a better film turned out or at least in the same vein as these popcorn flicks.

[EXOTICLEX]

final battle scene just in case you want to watch it again....

[sifu74]

Any fool can direct this and it would make money. Bay is not that special, and Shia? Did we go to see TF movies for him, nope. They can get any other actors too.

[Rock83]

Im talking the last battle scenes ONLY here,everything before that was good.I think fans,including myself would appreciate the movie more if the Autobots got more time in the final battle scenes and a epic final showdown between Optimus and Megatron rather than humans trying to save the world again,which i had zero interest in,i just wanted the human scenes to end as they were given more time than the autobots.

You still are a kid. probably why you feel this way.

And what is up with people trying to play down the atrocity of these types of movies?

I grew up with G1 and I'd want nothing more than awesome TF movies with good action, good story/dialogue, and decent acting (im not asking for academy award winning level stuff, i just said "good").

Imo it is a fricken shame that some of you have so little respect for an awesome franchise that you have resigned to saying that these movies were meant to be "fun" and not good movies. Why CAN'T these movies be good??! please explain that to me because I really wanted the TF trilogy to be so much more than what it turned out to be.

Imagine a semi-serious TF movie with the same type of tone of say perhaps District 9 or something of that nature. maybe one day you will all get a clue.

I think People say that because people have little faith in Bay,not Transformers in general.It can be better if done right.

[fosing]

i really felt for those birdmen/commandos on board those ospreys. sacrificing their lives to divert the enemy's attention. that was like D-Day on Normanby beachfront.

and poor que/wheeljack (http://faculty.smu.edu/dsimon/viet/headshot3.jpg)...

Imo it is a fricken shame that some of you have so little respect for an awesome franchise that you have resigned to saying that these movies were meant to be "fun" and not good movies. Why CAN'T these movies be good??! please explain that to me because I really wanted the TF trilogy to be so much more than what it turned out to be.

Imagine a semi-serious TF movie with the same type of tone of say perhaps District 9 or something of that nature. maybe one day you will all get a clue.
Because your idea of good and my idea of good are 2 different things. I don't know why people can't get that. I wasn't expecting some deep storyline. I realize this is a Bay film and I got what I expected. For me this was a "good" movie.

This franchise exists to sell toys to kids.

Uh yeah, because im sure the major target audience is kids who probably dont even know transformers as it is not their generation. But hey, lets throw in cheesey adult humor and some nice **** and *** for those kiddies to look at so we can sell 'em some toys!

And those who grew up in the 80's with the original series are all grown up now aren't what these movies are meant for. :slap

You sir are a genius.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that a franchise owned by a toy company exists to sell toys.

[DarthNeil]

It doesn't take a genius to understand that a franchise owned by a toy company exists to sell toys.

Both the cartoon and the comics in the 80's of course were Hasbro toy commercials-- The key difference is while the cartoon remains (for the most part) dated (especially the horrible stuff that came out post-cartoon Unicron movie) the comic had some wonderfully written storylines and some moving characters that G1 enthusiasts (of which I'm one) will never see on the big screen-- much in a similar fashion to the gritty realism of the G.I. Joe comics (when they weren't introducing a new amazing character every issue to sell action figures) which we'll also never see.

It would be great if a true filmmaker, who grew up in the 80's as a fan of both, would take charge of these properties and a studio (which will never happen) gave the funds without interference for a final product. That'll never happen and so we're left with Bay's trilogy and a G.I. Joe fanchise that's now going to be guided by Bieber's director.

Despite all of Nash's bluntness, I agree with him pretty much 99.99999%... I went to see T3 DOTM expecting something and settling for what was given, which is a shame. My wife loves the films (one of the reasons it was a great date opportunity, besides her beloved Mr. Potter there are few movies that I want to see that fully interest her as well and vice versa-- for example she's going with friends to see The Help later this month, if you don't know what I'm talking about you didn't read the book either and you're probably a dude) so we went and enjoyed an adult day away from our kids-- but I wish it would have been a movie experience that made this late 30's guy who has every issue of Transformers from #1 through to the late #50's feel like a kid.

All of us, that are a certain age, know what could have been on the screen and that's probably why the final result is so disappointing. Did I like the action scenes? Sure. Did I enjoy the film experience? To a degree-- but no where near what I had hoped. One hour into the film and you've seen Shockwave for the briefest of moments (with a giant snake appendage that really makes no sense), Megatron as a hobo in the desert with Starscream as his usual lackey (damn it, not seeing those two interact more on screen is painful for a G1 fan), and Sam's comedic attempt to become a man. That's a full hour into this mess. Ironhide dies shortly after that first abyssmal hour (with no nod by anyone about his death-- at least Jazz in the first movie died dramatically and was mourned for at the end by Prime) and then you've got the action--- too many puny humans (to quote a certain green guy) and not enough Autobot versus Decepticon fighting-- but maybe that's because there were too many cables hanging around.

:gah: "OPTIMUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

:dunno "Sorry Sam, stuck in these cables. Give me a sec."

Transformers 4 Greenlighted; Jason Statham Set To Take Over From Shia LaBeouf?

According to Showbiz Spy, Jason Statham is being lined up to take over as lead character in the next Transformers movie. Apparently, the fantastic box office takings since the movie opened last Wednesday have convinced Paramount to move ahead with a fourth instalment, and the British star is their top pick! As usual, take the following (along with the apparent plans for a fourth movie) with a pinch of salt...

"One of the stars being mentioned is Rosie’s boyfriend Jason Statham," says a Hollywood insider.

"It’s clear the franchise still has huge potential but with a new leading man capable of taking Transformers in a new, darker direction. Jason could be just the man to do that and his relationship with Rosie would be an added bonus in marketing the movie."

[Kuzeh]

Obviously fake...

If it's a reboot they should leave it 5 or 6 years. Problem for you guys wanting a reboot is; look at the money DOTM is making at the box office. It will enter the £1 billion club which will probably guarantee another film within the next two years. Michael Bay's Transformers are what Transformers are to this generation. I wonder what percentage of the people seeing this know what G1 is...

[The Mike]

I would say the chances of a reboot are slim to none. As much money as this thing is raking in, they'll sign a new director if they can't convince Bay to return and simply replace Shia without question. There is no way they'll screw with anything at this point and you'll see Optimus and Bumblebee back looking just like they did on their last jaunt out.

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

It honestly is a Great Trilogy IMO, Im one of the few who actually like ROTF. The twins were annoying and there was no reason to see John Tutturos a$$ but other than that its a badass movie with epic action. I also am prob in the few who LIKE Michael Bay, hes cocky but he can put on a production for shure. And i love all the Transformers but unless they can get Bay & Shia back for an Epic 4th, i say let this be the last and Reboot it in about 3-5 Years. Make it more about the Robots, the war on Cybertron, cut out all the human bolgna and get to the compelling storytelling. Beast Wars was a cool Reboot way to look at it, not that i want that as a film franchise but they can reinvent the look.

I did love DOTM though, Epic action, they did good.

Don't need no stinkin' reboot.

Transformers: Revenge of the Giant Robot Moon.

Set 20-30 years in the future -- Earth has become an advanced civilization which lives with Autobots as one. Adult Sam is the logistics head of a new space program where humans and Transformers aim to build space colonies to aid with the growing population. Sam's teenage daughter, Mikarly, dates a young engineer working on Sam's team. Old Lennox is a general and head of the UN military forces. The bitter Decepticons still attack Earth from time to time, but are mostly hiding on other planets and asteroids in our solar system.

That would be the setting. The movie itself would be about how the Decepticons seem to think they have found another planet like Cybertron, at the edge of our system. Some of the more liberal Decepticons approach Optimus for help, and feeling somewhat guilty over his responsibility in killing Megatron and destroying Cybertron, he agrees to help put together a human and Autobot team investigate this, and makes a truce with the Decepticons.

The investigation team finds a dead machine planet, and investigates it like Event Horizon, only to end up waking Unicron and everyone gets killed. By eating the team, Unicron learns the location of Earth, and starts moving towards it. Optimus, Sam, and Lennox must prepare Earth for the most deadly invasion ever. Meanwhile an insane Decepticon cult following the call of Unicron, breaks into Megatron's tomb to recover his body, so he can be revived as... Galvatron.

Sam and Mikarly's engineer boyfriend develop an artificial Matrix-of-Leadership which acts as a bomb to destroy Unicron. Since no one else knows how to actually use it, the engineer boyfriend has to sacrifice himself to go into the heart of Unicron at the end to save humanity. At the last moment Sam switches places with him and locks himself in the one-way shuttle, because he realizes that his daughter really loves the guy. Aerosmith will compose a new original song for the movie's climax.

[Grange Wallis]

So i finally saw the film last night... Unfortunately I overwhelmed my expectations. I was hoping for a better film than the second with better fights... The action in the second film was awesome. But this one was too much story/buildup for the ending which never really hit the mark. But I did enjoy it overall but I was expecting more. But Sentinel Prime being the villain of the film was totally unexpected for me... poor Iron-Hide :(

But I am now completely done with 3D... I blame the cinema framerate standard and the lack of Screen brightness to compensate the dark lenses of the glasses. I'm done until I hear better tech as be developed.

Also... Im not sure what I want in terms of reboot, prequel or 4th film. But I do think this Bayformers Universe has become tired and needs fresh creative eye brought to the film. One with confidence in its composition FX shots to not have the Machines 2cm away from the camera lens.

[Khev]

Saw this last night in 3D. A mixed bag at best.

The scenes where Bumblebee transforms and ejects Sam on the freeway, Optimus flying through the city, and the descent of the guys in the flying suits were eye poppingly awesome.

Rosie was terrible, the non-action humor subplots felt forced, and the final battle was too long for not having a real rhythm and flow. I can't ever recall in my life watching a no holds barred knock down drag out effects bonanza final battle in a movie and...checking my watch (which I literally did about halfway through the finale.)

The second (or was it the third?) time Optimus entered the fray and was spinning around slicing everyone up I was pretty much numb to the whole proceedings. I realized that it looked cool and was marginally exciting but I just couldn't get past how long the whole damn affair was.

I'd rate the films:

TF: 8/10
TF2: 4/10
TF3: 5.5/10

At least they actually had a reason for all fighting in the city this time.

Nothing against Bay, he does his thing and he does it well, but he can do it somewhere other than TMNT thankyouverymuch.

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

Bays a powerful producer and i dont think the Transformers film franchise would be as Epic and grand scale without him apart of him. He has made mistakes but he delivers iconic action everytime. Im proud of the Transformers movies, all have faults, but all great movies IMO

In terms of the Platnum Dunes TMNT film, i do hope Bay is a REAL producer on the movie, at least to give it some kind of money for the production, I have high expectations for that movie.

[dsokyra]

Just saw the latest steaming turd to come from Mr. Bay...and I want my money back...IMO the Transformer films are rubbish...weak on plot, over-complicated, lousy acting and over-the-top. The only semi-decent one was the first. I'm a fan and grew up watching the cartoon and buying all of the toys...and I love movies...just not Bay's version of Transformers...now before everyone who loves these films gets their panties all in a wad, It's just my opinion and I respect all of you who liked these films...and no doubt they have made box office cash...I'm just sayin

Saw it. Liked it 10x more than the second one, half as much as the first and a bagillion times more than Green Lanturd.

For me, I just see alot of holes in the series myself. :wink1:

:lol:exactly:

[King Darkness]

:lol

I take it that's in reference to the "Green Lanturd"?

Sorry, Mike.

I cant say why exactly, but I absolutely hated that movie. There was SO much potential and it felt empty and half assed. It was a 90 minute hero movie cliche. Whoever is in charge of DC movie making, or at least in the captains seat of Lanturd should be kicked squarely in the nuts for 90 minutes straight.

I think I was more insulted than anything. I think Marvel has shown us that a hero movie can be more than just a polished turd with some fancy CGI. There is enough in 30 years of comics to pull from to make a quality, well told story first, then put some fancy CGI in.

Something like Transformers I don't expect much from cause all it is is a vehicle to sell toys, pulled from an older vehicle to sell toys. Transformers has never been, in my opinion, as source of great story telling or well thought out plot lines.

Comic/hero movies can be that, but Lanturd felt like a craptastic trip back to the 90s, when Hollywood treated comic movies and the fan base with little to no respect.

So you do agree that Legend sucked more than TF3. High five!! :hi5:

[King Darkness]

Sure nash, whatever you say. :hi5:

[Khev]

One thing that TF3 did do pretty nicely was mostly allow for a clean "erasing" of TF2. Other than Sam talking about having saved the world twice and the obvious return of Megatron (though you could assume that the Decepticons dredged him from the depths and pieced him together with those chains he was wearing) it makes for a pretty seamless continuation of TF1.

It would be very easy to assume that Michaela dumped him shortly after the buzz of life threatening events of the first film subsided. Then its just two movies of sweet freeway and downtown battles and none of that silliness about a supermodel begging a nerd to say he loves her.

My thoughts on the Cameo.

What do you all think of Buzz Aldrin's cameo? ..i thought it was ridiculous putting him in there!:dunno I just buried my face in my hand when the scene started!:slap ..i mean it felt like a complete disrespect to what he actually achieved, and i'm not even american, surely it must have pissed off some of you guys even more..right?:dunno

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

^^^
It's a work of fiction. I Don't see the fuss.

Not as bad as the millions that truly believe the moon landing was a hox anyway.

I'm sure Buzz would be more upset over those "special" people, than a fictional movie.

I thought it was fantastic to see him there. What about it did you find disrespectful? I think it would have been disrespectful *not* to have offered any of the Apollo crew a cameo.

Seeing Buzz Aldrin was cool to me. I found nothing about it disrespectful. :dunno

Seeing Buzz punch that guy in the face that asked him if he really landed on the moon was much cooler :lol

Buzz got props from Optimus Prime himself! I thought the movie made a special effort to show him respect, not the other way around.

Did you guys know that Michael Bay has his own forum where he posts about Transformers? Its fascinating to see his responses on some of the threads, and a tad amusing to watch him take issue with certain comments.

Apparently him and Shia are both done with the series.

Here's a full list of his posts for the curious:

Thank GOD! :clap:yess:

[Khev]

It's sad, because somewhere in this bloated, rickety mess is a decent film. Really! The tone in this one is much different than RotF's or the first's, and I liked it! Sam's more like an adult than ever. The Autobots seem more distanced from the humans, doing their own things. Life moves on. It's at times sombre, melancholy, and then grows steadily more brutal as the film progresses. Humans getting blown to bits on screen? Dark. Robot executions? Optimus' transformation into a genocidal, murdering bot? Cool. And as the dust clears and fighting stops, it doesn't feel like a heroic victory. No rah-rah, no optimistic speech from Optimus at the end. It just ends. And there's lies the film's biggest and most warped juxtoposition. As humans are getting (visibly) vaporized on screen and the call to arms feels desperate and urgent, every other scene grasps for a laugh. The tone is terribly inconsistent. I'm supposed to take the situation seriously when you have Ken Jeong, John Malkovich, John Turturro (once again), and Alan Tudyk (breaks my heart) acting like buffoons? Thankfully, none of it is as egregious as the ____ in RotF.

The whole experience felt odd to me. Confusing. Makes my head hurt.

I agree with your assessment. The tone is so screwy, yet strangely compelling. The movie was just a fascinating mess, and I'm finding myself oddly looking forward to seeing how it plays at home (no way I'm going to devote an entire sitting in a theater to it again.) I'd still probably rate it last among all the movies I've seen this year though.

I'm surprised some people took issue with Optimus shooting the main bad guy while he was begging for his life. He had just killed Ironhide and was trying to doom the entire human race! IIRC Megatron did the same thing at the beginning of the 1986 TF movie (killed Ironhide and was trying to take over the world, then begged for mercy on his knees.) Optimus commented on how odd it was to hear Megatron grovel but I was under the impression that he was still planning on blowing him away until the idiotic Hot Rod showed up.

But now Prime's a "douche" for killing the murderous bad guy? That kind of thinking is what led to the whole Greedo fiasco in SW:SE!

[hoodonit00]

Movie has now made 645 Million dollars worldwide in a little over a week and a half. Many people must have been entertained.:clap

Time to reboot the franchise now.

[Khev]

Time to reboot the franchise now.

As crappy as TF2 was and with the mixed bag we got with TF3 I'm still game for seeing this universe of characters face Unicron.

Since dumping him in the ocean didn't work the Autobots can jetison the corpses of Megatron and the other Decepticons into outer space where they're picked up and transformed by Unicron. Then they can come to earth and wreak all kinds of havoc.

[CollectorNC]

Wow, what a waste of an afternoon. This one is equal or worse depending on whether you think one pile of dog ____ in your front yard is worse than the other. Oh, don't get me wrong, this is a much prettier and louder pile of ____ and looooooooooong. Oh man, there should be a law against a 2hr and 30min. movie (with 20 min. of trailers) of this sort. I was in a packed theater and people's a__es were going numb and everyone was fidgeting. When the end credits came up, no one stayed in case there were after credits sequences. There was no enthusiasm in the audience. It was like the movie was 2 1/2 hours of torture and everyone was making a mad dash for the exit. I didn't see it in 3D and at least I didn't have a headache or more money ripped from my wallet. I can't even begin to say what the movie was really about. It was like 3 movie plots pieced flimsily together and no one cared because they spent 50 min. CGI-destroying Chicago, USA. Honestly, for CGI, the movie should win an award. Shia sleepwalked his way through this movie and Rosie, while pretty, was only marginally better than Fox in the acting department but had less chemistry than Megan and Shia. Most of the Autobots had no real characterization this time. It's like they figured the audience knew them and for the new ones, they figured the audience couldn't care even to know some of their names. The whole lack of detail between the end of TF2 and TF3 is weird. And the end is abrupt, like in that they ran out of budget or digital room on their cameras hard drive. Man, I feel like a sucker for being reeled into seeing thing based on interviews with Shia about him wanting to make up for TF2, etc. This movie started with serious potential with it tying into history, like "X-Men: First Class" but then it just went nuts with effects over substance and left me feeling numb and disappointed...

I like the abrupt ending. Reminds me of the Robocop movies. No celebration, no spoils, just a brutal smackdown and then its over. "Nice job Optimus." "Call me Prime." Bam, end credits. :)

[CollectorNC]

You .

I was on the Don Murphy forum during the pre-Transformers 2007 timeframe and got a lot of insight as to how they were going to alter G1 Transformers. Many didn't agree and I felt they were doing an unnecessary revisionist history and look, but I could see some merit in the changes. I was not expecting anything that good. I was surprised with TF1 as it captured a lot of the awe and excitement of the old series and comics without the characters looking just like those old designs. It was a mystery and suspense and action movie. I think the lack of mystery in TF2 and TF3 are why they just don't hold a candle to TF1. There was a lot more characterization in TF1. More explosions and effects in TF2 and TF3. I mean when Prime dies in TF2 and the movie really spends little time mourning him (unlike the original TF cartoon movie) that says a lot. Bay's sense of teen humor wasn't as noticeable to me in TF1, but was abundant in the absurd "comic relief" characters of TF2 and TF3. TF1 was just a well-rounded movie that gave me hope for future installments.

[Reinhardt]

Looks like between CollectorNC and Fingaz's comments, there is no need for me to see this. Going to try to see a movie later this week, and my choices are Green Lantern, Super 8, X-Men or Transformers.

Looks like X-Men is the one to see.

[galactiboy]

Saw it over the weekend... nothing special to be honest. I enjoyed parts of it and felt like the story idea had a lot of potential. But they just stretched the hell out of it... if the movie was abut 30 minutes shorter I think it would have been a winner.

3D was pretty annoying as well... definitely should have saved a few bucks and saw it in 2D :lol

Sorry khev, I dont know the episode name, but that is part of season 1 I think if not there must be 2 episodes where they use the "space bridge" to bring supplies or soldiers or what not to Earth. I thought the same thing during the movie.

I actually enjoyed the movie and had a good time, but again I did think of the cartoon as far as the whole space bridge concept. I told another guy, I guess I just have low expectations for a movie about giant transforming robots. I thought it kicked *** and was happy with what I had seen.

[Khev]

Yeah, as much of a mess as T3 was I'm warming up to it more and more in retrospect. Even just thinking back to that one stupid little robot watching Star Trek in the beginning. "This is the one where Spock goes crazy." That's actually pretty funny considering who the villain was in this one. :lol

“Transport to Oblivion”
US Airdate: 10-6-84
Japan Airdate: 7-27-85
Japan Title: “Operation: Spacebridge!”
Animation: Toei Studio

Synopsis: The Autobots are content to believe that the Decepticons were killed when their starship crashed into the ocean, however, that’s not actually the case. The Decepticons have built the remains of their ship into an underwater headquarters. Back on Cybertron, Shockwave has finally run low on Energon. He contacts Megatron and together they plot to build a “spacebridge” to transport Megatron’s plundered Energon back to Cybertron.

Megatron attacks a power plant, causing a city-wide blackout, and the Autobots mobilize to deal with him. After a skirmish, the Decepticons escape with their energy and wound Ironhide. The Autobots repair themselves and then send Spike and Bumblebee out to track down Megatron. The Decepticons have constructed their spacebridge in a dried-up riverbed but are having trouble getting it to work. Apparently, without manual guidance, the Energon cubes can’t get from Earth to Cybertron effectively. Megatron spots Spike and Bumblebee and the Decepticons attack. Spike is taken prisoner. Megatron becomes determined to use Spike as a guinea pig for the next spacebridge delivery. Bumblebee attempts to escape, but is eventually caught and his memory chips hacked into.

Bumblebee returns to Autobot headquarters with faulty news that Spike is being held prisoner in a cave. The Autobots go to rescue their friend but are ambushed in the cave by the Decepticons. The Decepticons make short work of the Autobots and leave them buried inside the cavern. Back at the spacebridge, Megatron prepares Spike for his voyage. Before he can send him on his way, the Autobots escape from the cave and show up in the nick of time.

They free Spike and stop the Energon cargo from making it into the spacebridge. Megatron attempts to toss the Energon cubes into the bridge by hand but is instead shot by Optimus and knocked into the teleportation spiral. Megatron gets blasted off into oblivion and the Autobots head home. Starscream, assuming Megatron’s death, takes command of the Decepticons. However, back on Cybertron, Megatron has managed to make it through the spacebridge successfully.

“The Ultimate Doom, Part 1”
US Airdate: 11-3-84
Japan Airdate: 11-7-86
Japan Title: “Day of Destruction, Part 1”
Animation: Toei Studio

Synopsis: Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker attack a Maharaja’s solar energy plant in India and the Autobots respond by rallying a large number of troops, leaving their base largely unguarded. At Decepticon headquarters, Megatron has joined forces with a half-man/half-machine mad scientist named Dr. Arkeville, who needs a guinea pig for his evil scheme. While the Autobot base is under-manned, Soundwave and his Cassettes kidnap Sparkplug. With their true mission a success, Starscream and the other Seekers retreat from the solar energy plant, as it was all just a diversion.

Meanwhile, Dr, Arkeville installs his “hypno-chip” into Sparkplug, reducing him to a mindless slave of the Decepticons’ whims. At the same time, Megatron is finishing up plans to create a massive spacebridge to Earth in order to transport a secret cargo. Optimus rallies the Autobots and they proceed to attack the underwater Decepticon base. While the others engage in battle, Brawn, Cliffjumper and Windcharger sneak in and rescue Sparkplug. The Autobots retreat with their rescued comrade, though Megatron and Dr. Arkeville don’t seem too concerned.

Back at Autobot HQ, Sparkplug is acting strangely, “repairing” all the Autobots. Before they can figure out what’s wrong, Megatron attacks without warning. The Autobots attempt to fight back but their weapons malfunction. During the fight, Spike notices Sparkplug’s wrench next to a disabled Teletran-1 and puts two and two together. Before the Decepticons can administer the final blow, Spike instructs Teletran to hose them down with a fire-retardant foam which damages their circuitry. The Decepticons, along with Sparkplug, retreat.

Later, Megatron reveals his full plan to Dr. Arkevill; he intends to use a massive spacebridge to bring Cybertron into Earth’s orbit and harvest the resulting chaotic energies caused by Cybertron’s gravitational pull. Megatron uses Arkevill’s hypno-chips to gather an army of slaves to build the spacebridge device, which the Autobots discover using one of Teletran’s Skyspies. The Autobots show up to stop the Decepticons, but most of their forces are subdued by an army of mind-controlled slaves. Sparkplug and Thundercracker activate the first two spacebridge pylons, as Megatron and Optimus do battle next to the third and final one. Megatron tells Optimus to flip the switch himself, because if he doesn’t, Cybertron will be destroyed. Optimus, fearing for the lives of all the Transformers on his home planet, flips the switch and Cybertron materializes in Earth’s orbit. Optimus laments that by saving Cybertron he may have doomed the Earth.

“The Ultimate Doom, Part 2”
US Airdate: 11-10-17
Japan Airdate: 11-7-86
Japan Title: “Day of Destruction, Part 2”
Animation: Toei Studio

Synopsis: Cybertron’s orbital gravity causes natural disasters all over the planet, including earthquakes and tidal waves. The Decepticons, using Soundwave’s sonic disrupter waves, force the Autobots to retreat. However, the sonic disrupter waves short out the hypno-chips in the human slaves. The Decepticons return to base with their only remaining slave, Sparkplug, and send Laserbeak to gather more humans.

While retreating, Spike and Bumblebee fall into a deep crevice created by a sudden earthquake. The Autobots rescue the pair and return to the Ark. The Decepticons begin producing Energon cubes from the geological chaos and send Skywarp and Sparkplug to deliver the first load to Cybertron. Dr. Arkevill protests, not wanting his slaves to leave the planet, but Megatron informs him that his hypno-chip control mainframe has been duplicated on Cybertron, slimming-down the mad scientist’s usefulness.

Back at the Ark, The Autobots deploy the reluctant Dinobots to help fight the most devastating natural disasters around the world, including a massive tidal wave. Optimus tries to cheer up the depressed Spike, promising to rescue Sparkplug. Suddenly, the volcano the Ark is situated in becomes active and erupts. Most of the Autobots make it out safely, with Skyfire rescuing those caught in the eruption. Ironhide races into the core of the Volcano and smothers the lava pit in a rockslide. The Autobots regroup and learn that Sparkplug has been taken to Cybertron. Spike demands to accompany the rescue party, much to Optimus’ refusal. Wheeljack vouches for Spike, and along with Skyfire, Trailbreaker, Brawn and Bumblebee, head to Cybertron. After landing, Brawn, Bumblebee and Spike fall into a trap and become separated from the rest of the group. They stumble upon the hypno-chip mainframe and discover how Megatron has been controlling the slaves. Sparkplug shows up and Spike tries to reason with him. Sparkplug fights the hypno-chip controlling his brain, only to lose and sounds the intruder alert.
