terrible, waste of time and money

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2011)

OMG, this was one of the worst movies I've seen in years. I loved the 1st movie and like the 2nd one, this one was a huge disappointment. It had 2 things going for it.
1) the 3D was great because it wasn't all about things popping out of the screen. It created good depth and was always present but not in a bothersome way.
2) some good special effects - the snakey bot was cool, and the long fight at the end was good, but ....
by then I was so bored by the bad dialog and plot that I didn't care. The supermodel chose unemployed Sam over rich, famous, good looking CEO. Right. The entire sub plot involving John Malkovich didn't need to be in the movie. Ditto for crazy oriental guy, Russian cosmonauts and the whole scene in the Russian bar. And what was up w/Turturro's sidekick? Sentinel Prime, voiced by Leonard Nimoy did get to repeat some lines from Mr. Spock. That was a cool homage.
3rd good thing - Sam's parents. They crack me up.
All in all, a waste of time and money. Most reviews I've read say this one is better than the second one, I disagree strongly. Such a disappointment!
