Could have been so much better

Rating: 3/10 (11 November 2011)

Once again Michael Bay had a chance to redeem himself by making a plot to equal the only good part of this movie... the graphics and animation. I don't know who else liked the stupid little robot in the first movie, but it must have been Michael Bay's favorite character of the movie. Why you ask? Well, with their return to the third film, they were the true heroes of the day. I always thought it was Optimus Prime who was the hero, but no (Here's my small spoiler)while Optimus clumsily got himself tangled in some wires on a crane rigging, these two moronic little geeky robots somehow found their way into the Decepticons ship and managed to take it out virtually ending the whole battle. Seriously?!!! I like that Optimus finally kicked some butt in the end but it just didn't feel right. Kinda felt cheated by the fact that he was such a wuss earlier and then somehow all of sudden got this extra burst of power and could now kick some butt. Plus earlier in the film Optimus was the one that said, "Retreat!" If I remember correctly from the cartoons that was always Megatron's line. Yes this was far better than the second movie which I rate with the slime of the earth with it's over sex charged and immature middle school humor. It really did seem like they had a middle school kid right the script with all the stupid cheap humor and over done sensuality. Sorry to say but a movie really does have to have a good plot, you can't just throw in cool graphics, cheap humor and lots of hotties to make a movie good.
