Can we have a reboot now?

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2011)

Hurrah! 3 transformers movies, and that third one is quite better then the precedent ( and since it was rise of the fallen was one of the worst movie of 2009, its was not very difficult to top). But here we are, it was a fun brainless ride and I really like it, mister Bay finally was able to create actions sequences that wasn't just scraps metals shaking on the screen. By making the Autobots in brighter colours the fight scene now make sense and are quite enjoyable, two or three time i just had to turn toward my girlfriend and exclaim, ''whoa! I just understand what happened!'' But it leave me a bit bitter.
It took me time to figure out what was so wrong with dark side of the moon (and the trilogy in general) and here goes, I wont rehash what have been said a thousand time about the bad script and mindless explosion, no, I will just say that Micheal Bay don't understand is source material but more importantly he got a lousy moral compass. We have a movie where heroes (yes, the heroes) MUTILATE, DISMEMBER, EXECUTE and are hellbent on GENOCIDE and the list goes on, the malaise begin when Optimus put a bullet in the head of a random Decepticon in the second movie like it was nothing.
And that, beyond anything else show that Bay doesn't care, its okay for the heroic character to dismember opponent for fun, for Optimus to kill brutally is mentor and none of them seem to raise and eyebrow when their home(cybertron, who look like a huge, ugly, planetoid, hive) got seemingly destroyed, because they are NOT characters, they are NOT heroic sentient machine, they are special effect pure and simple. I wouldn't mind if the movie was called Marines VS Machines or something, but hey its the Transformers where talking about here.
So it was okay,in a dumb and fun kind of way, buts its time to move on, lets someone with real audacity and imagination take a shot, awesome thing could be done with that property other then selling Bud light and GM truck.
Oh and as far as pointless insertion of useless token babe goes, Megan Fox was better, at least she as some real acting skill.
