Not worth the ticket nor the time if you're free riding

Rating: 3/10 (7 January 2012)

I liked the first film. I didn't desperately love it, but I liked it. I thought that film had some heart and soul in it. I think this sums it up pretty well: I felt shivers down my bones (I get that easily) when the Autobots revealed themselves.
The 3rd installment is just as bad as the second was. Don't pay much attention to those who say it's better - it's just as bad but in a different way. The 2nd was way too packed with action and mindless scenes where we were supposed to care. The 3rd has much less action, which should not be a bad thing. However, the lack of action is replaced by meaningless characters doing, well, pretty much nothing of any consequence.
I'd just like films like these to have characters with some level of dignity. Why is John Malkovich such an ass? He's like crawling on the floor ranting something incomprehensibly stupid when seeing the Autobots. John: Walk in the room, have a look and have some dignity and grandeur about yourself.
A very very poor film indeed. With this budget, what could you have made... oh my. I give it 3/10 - which 2 points more than some films have gotten from me, because at least I could watch this one to the end without falling asleep.
