Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011
Saw this last night in 3D. A mixed bag at best.
The scenes where Bumblebee transforms and ejects Sam on the freeway, Optimus flying through the city, and the descent of the guys in the flying suits were eye poppingly awesome.
Rosie was terrible, the non-action humor subplots felt forced, and the final battle was too long for not having a real rhythm and flow. I can't ever recall in my life watching a no holds barred knock down drag out effects bonanza final battle in a movie and...checking my watch (which I literally did about halfway through the finale.)
The second (or was it the third?) time Optimus entered the fray and was spinning around slicing everyone up I was pretty much numb to the whole proceedings. I realized that it looked cool and was marginally exciting but I just couldn't get past how long the whole damn affair was.
I'd rate the films:
TF: 8/10
TF2: 4/10
TF3: 5.5/10
At least they actually had a reason for all fighting in the city this time.
