Best Transformers Movie Yet

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2011)

Another transformers movie, another record amount of explosions. This sums up Transformers 3 in a nutshell and fans of the series wouldn't have it any other way.
If your looking for a movie with an in depth story and interesting, well developed characters then this is not the movie for you but if your looking a summer blockbusters full of mind boggling action then grab Bumblebee and take him for a drive down to your nearest cinema.
However, compared to the previous instalments the story is more developed, with Shia Labeouf and the new love interest Rosie Huntington- Whiteley both providing a decent backdrop to the action. There are a few twists but they are easy to see coming and you certainly wont be remembering the movie for the story. On the whole, the story is the best in the series but this wasn't difficult to accomplish, but the real reason you see Transformers is for the action which doesn't disappoint.
Just like the previous entries, Michael Bay has directed a movie with special effects so extraordinary that your eyes will be glued to the screen and the hairs standing on the back of your neck. As you would expect, the action in this movie surpasses the previous films which is evident in a skyscraper scene which is just spectacular. The transformer sound effects sound recycled from before but the music which plays during some of the action scenes is very impressive and adds to the movie as a whole.
There are only two things that disappointed me, and considering there were an issue in the previous two films it is disappointing to see them persist. As mentioned the story is decent but I would still like to see it developed. Secondly, with so much action on the screen it becomes difficult to work out who is actually fighting each other which can become as issue in the latter parts of the movie but these two issues don't detract from the spectacle.
Lets just get this out of the way, if your wanting a deep story in your films then avoid this movie. For everyone else, this is a must see just for the action alone. If this really is the last in the series then its a fitting conclusion to a ground breaking trilogy, and if not then the next director has got one hell of a job to improve the action, but not the story.
