Solid action but can do without the weak romance and comedy

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2011)

So this latest installment has turned the transformers franchise into a trilogy. The 1st one is still the best for one single reason - pure action. This one, much like the second, has become watered down by Michael Bay as he attempts to reach a wider audience while hardcore transformer fans (like myself) now have to suffer! The two annoying mini-autobots from the 2nd part make a return appearance and are still very annoying. Also the romance dialogue between Sam and his gf is quite weak and actually takes away rather than adds to the movie. I hope in the 4th installment that Bay sticks to pure action (a la Terminator 2) and stop trying to appease different demographics!
