I had high hopes for Transformers 3. I hoped Michael Bay would reduce the amount of pointless explosions and mindless dialogue. While that was done to a degree, the third and hopefully final installment of Transformers did not live up to my expectations. Yes, it was better than the second film, a feat not too challenging, but it was not better or as good as the first film. A major issue that I have with this film was its length; it seemed to drag on for way too long and I began to become restless. While the visuals were undeniably astonishing, the storyline was just too dry. The film seemed to try and go in a Terminator like direction but failed because even the killing of people in a Transformer's movie just cannot be taken seriously. Transformers 3 went all out with its casting, including the likes of Buzz Aldrin and Bill O’Rielly. Not to mention Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who makes Megan Fox look ordinary. While those aspects added more spice to the film, especially Huntington-Whiteley, in the end Transformers 3 will be remembered as a mediocre ending to a seemingly mediocre blockbuster trilogy.
The good: The action and visuals of Transformers 3 are second to none.
The bad: You will most likely get to the point where you just want the movie to end, and there will still be a good 30 minutes left of it.
Rating: 4.4 out of 10
