Amazing.

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2011)

It was awesome. The best movie of the summer. The acting was spot on. The robots were amazing. The music was top notch. Rosie was hot. g g g As a huge fan of the Transformers animated series, I was disappointed with first Transformers film. I didn't really like the look of the Autobots and thought it was a little annoying. When I saw Transformers 2, which is a HUGE mess of a film, I was really angry. I vowed never to see a Transformers film ever again. But when the trailer of Transformers 3 came out, I actually got a little interested. I mean the special effects were pretty much great as usual. But this time, it seemed they took off the annoying little robots and that annoying mother and replaced them with good old fashioned action.
When I went to an advanced screening yesterday, I still came in with relatively low expectations. I have to say, that Transformers 3 is an overall improvement from its predecessor, Transformers 2. The film was pretty much at level with the first film, though. The action scenes were highly extravagant and at times, pretty epic. The movie had a lot less lame scenes, which is always a plus. The acting though, has not improved at all though. Megan Fox's replacement, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was not unbearable, but she's certainly not a good actress, but a mediocre one, at the same level with Megan Fox. Although Megan Fox is definitely hotter. As usual though, the story was unremarkable and extremely abysmal at times, but not as horrible as the first film though.
Overall I rate Transformers 3, an 8/10. Don't go in expecting a Best Picture winner/nominee. With the right amount of expectations, you will probably be fulfilled. A definite improvement over Revenge of the Fallen, which doesn't say much. But at the end, the great special effects and extremely extravagant action scenes more than make up its flaws. A summer flick that rises above the usual, noisy summer blockbuster films. I definitely recommend this film if you overall liked the franchise.
