Worst film of the year...

Rating: 2/10 (19 July 2011)

Well, I went into the theater with low expectations. Even then, this film disappointed me beyond belief. It was even worse than the previous two. Wait, maybe that was because it was almost exactly the same as the previous two.
Now, if you're someone who goes to a movie and looks for nothing but action, I have four words for you: GO SEE THIS MOVIE. You'll love it. The whole thing is action, and I must admit the action is top-notch.
However, if you're someone who actually appreciates the art of cinema, and looks for emotions and good plot line when watching a picture, you will probably agree that Transformers 3 sucks. That's because there is no emotional buildup, no climax, no real characters, no meaning, and overall no point. It's robots fighting. That's it.
Firstly, the characters, which are arguably the most important factor of a movie, are not developed AT ALL. I guess you could say that they developed them in the first two, and so we're already supposed to know who they are. Well, we do know who they are, but that's about it. Many of the characters have about ten lines of dialogue throughout the whole thing, or so it seems. This means that whenever something really "climatic" happens, no one cares anyway since we barely know the characters. Frankly, I didn't even care if a main character was about to die, because the film didn't touch on the character's personalities at all. Instead, the whole thing is constant action with a FEW dialogue scenes, which are pretty pathetic as well.
Secondly, if you find pointless action boring, you will bored the hell out of this movie. The final battle in Chicago takes, I'd say, a good 45 minutes. The first 15 were actually really entertaining. If it would've stopped there, I actually would've given the movie a better rating. But no... it drags on for several eternities. Each time you think it's going to end, they trick you and add in another obstacle and another cheesy, slow motion thing that's supposed to be climactic and emotional. Well, like I said, no one cares anyway because everyone's going, "Who is this guy again?"
The bottom line is, this movie sucks. If you want a good, modern action series with an equal amount of good story, I would suggest the Pirates of the Caribbean or the Batman movies. Also check out Source Code and Inception, two of the most innovative movies that have come out for awhile.
With love,
