I'll admit the first movie I thought was Michael Bay's best, while the second one was okay but still entertaining. I'm sure the third one was more of Bay's way of saying he's going out with a bang and he did.
I wonder if your theater also has midnight showings of Larry Crowne and Monte Carlo, or if you're just sticking with one episode per week.

Same here, I think this is it for the Transformer movies unless Hollywood has other plans.
While my thoughts on the movie greatly differ from Brad, I will not get in a hissy fit about it. I will only say I loved it, he did not, and that is that.

Saying a movie is "Michael Bay's best" is like saying that someone's the smartest retard in the special ed class.

Oh yeah??! Well dealing with you is like dealing with an ignorant, untrained crybaby who thinks he knows what he's talking about when in reality, you just can't be satisfied enough w/ probably one of the most amazing movies ever made!! As a result, you cast blame on others for your idiotic thoughts by righting them out instead of accepting responsibility. Typical ignorance & cowardice (tell me what's new folks!). ** Sigh **
Reply to this
dude, are you serious? like really, are you making a joke I don't get or something? you come on The Cinema Snob website, to complain about people not liking Transformers 3? which you actually called: "one of the most amazing movies ever made." do you know where you are? are you lost or something? and you even cap it off with saying that not liking this movie equates to "ignorance & cowardice." cowardice really? people don't like Michael Bay movies cuz they are cowards? and you even end your statement with a "sigh" as if you are passing judgment down on us for not liking this movie, as if you are so much better than we are? cuz I can tell you this allot people on this website are going to read your comment and flat out laugh at your perceived level of intelligence...

Wow, you're being really mean to your son there, Bradiana Jones.

Okay, I will freely admit I'm only three minutes into your review. However, after the shear amount of vitriol you've thrown at this movie… I've taken a break to make some popcorn and grab some diet coke, because clearly your review of this movie is going to be more entertaining than anything Michael Bay could crap out on a good day.
Also, the way you said "So what did you guys think?" just cracked me up. Thank you for that.
Reply to this
Thanks for saving me ten bucks. Personally, I won't watch anything with Shia LaBitch without a Rifftrax.
I'm deeply sorry you felt compelled to watching this one but, thanks again.

Wow, Brad's reaction to this movie just had me laughing so hard. Still wanna see it though, just because I'm a fan of cheesy-bad movies.
Reply to this
The best part was Jerrid just sitting there holding the camera as Brad went off. That must have taken a lot of focus.
Reply to this
I had the same reaction as Brad after the first one. I've ranted about it so often that someone actually sneaked the DVD into my collection just to wind me up. I'm amazed you guys have been able to put yourself through not one, but two sequels. You're made of sterner stuff than me.

You thought this, Priest, and Green Lantern were bad, but you thought Super 8 was GOOD? You thought Hangover 2 was WATCHABLE? What the hell, you apparently have no taste in movies. Only thing you said that made any sense is your hatred of Sam. The only bad thing was that the Decepticons lost. And that the twins weren't in it, who were, you know, the only actually funny comic relief characters. And you people think COWBOYS & ALIENS looks better than Smurfs? What the hell, man?
What I don't get about the movies, though, is they clearly make the Decepticons sympathetic and show that the Autobots are lead by a psycho, yet the Decepticons still lose.
Still, how could you hate this and like Super 8? I saw Super 8 for FREE and felt ripped off.
Also, Dino/Mirage, the red robot, was ITALIAN, not Japanese. He was supposed to be called Mirage, but Ferarri insisted he be named Dino and made Italian.

The twins were knee-slappingly racist, yes. Nope, nobody missed them. Are you from another dimension or something? Where Bizarro-Super-8 was the shitty movie of the summer?
Reply to this
The Twins were about as racist as a pancake. Super 8 was boring as hell.

The only problem I actually had with the movie was that the Decepticons were killed. Left the theater crying because of that.

You actually cried in a transformer movie??? What a douchebag.

Damn, sure hope you didn't watch the animated movie as a kid, you must have been bawling your eyes out over that toy commercial too.
Reply to this
I don't think the twins were racist in any way, because... well, they're not people, they're robots.
That being said, they weren't funny either, quite the opposite in fact. Like... pretty much all the "comic relief" in Transformers 2.

Trololololol.

Umm, just so know, Optimus Prime in no psycho! & for ur info bro, "Smurfs" simply sounds silly to me, even though I do agree with you that Transformers likely in fact does have a good story. So I'd choose Cowboys & Aliens over something silly like that anyday. Cowboys & Aliens is like Indiana Jones & Star Wars COMBINED!! Besides, Smurfs is a cartoon as far as I know, and like Star Wars, both Cowboys & Aliens AND all 3 Transformers movies are basically Sci-Fi/Fantasy -- & u'd settle for something less like "Smurfs"??!! Oh please bro, please! & how is it "bad" that the Decepticons lost??!! Wtf?! The Decepticons are the invaders of Earth, while the Autobots are the defenders!! Where have you been lately man??!! I don't think the twins would be good for the 3rd film since it was so serious, intense, and dark anyway. But then that's just my opinion. Twins probably wouldn't be as useful in the 3rd film as they were in Revenge of the Fallen, because they're small Autobots that like to "take things easy". Know what I mean bro?? 1 last thing: I just don't understand why the hell is there an unfavorable collection of folks sharing the same hatred for Shia Labeouf. I mean I think that he is a great actor (headstrong, brave, smart, clever, serious, etc.) Pretty much all the good things I could think of. But whatever, you guys think what you believe to be true, I suppose. "WHY, though?" is the question. That's the part that beats me.

As Brad would say, those with (evil) brains usually have power over the brainless.

I don't know if Brad & the others are likely to read this, but here's BBC Radio 5 film critic Mark Kermode's excellent first "review" of Transformers 3:

I think he didn't like it.
Reply to this
I saw this last night. Why? I had planned to see every movie at midnight this summer, like Brad, but not Transformers. Why? I hate the others, and I hate Michael Bay.
But, of course, my brother had to see this opening night, and so I went along, becaues the call of a movie theatre is something I cannot say no to.
This movie sucked. Although, I will say, if the first was a 4/10, and the second was a 0/10, that at least was a 1/10.
Reply to this
Awesome! I new you'd hate this movie and your rage would make for great comedy!
I've heard mixed reviews now for this. But, all the good review was just for the action and the finial 40-30 minutes with the robot battles.
I do wish though on this review more of the crew could've made it because ya'll are funnier when there are more opinions being thrown back and forth. Jake was greatly missed!
I'm surprised none of ya'll talked about Lenard(Spock) and the real guy from he moon landing and his real cameo!
I'm still going to go see this movie myself but like with all of these kinds of movies I'm going to the cheapest showing I can get!
I'd like to hear ya'll review the movie trailers bit by bit like I've seen some do. Just because I'd like to hear some of your comic book friends geek out of the stuff in the trailers.
Vin Deasel's back!!!
PS: I thought there was some other more commercial movie coming out this weekend too?! Like some kid's film!
Reply to this
This review, was infinitely more entertaining and clever, than the entirety of Revenge of the Fallen. I think I'll still see this one, because going to the movies for my birthday is tradition. And given the choice, I'd rather have Peter Cullen as a robot kicking robot ass, than Larry the Charity-Case Cable Guy doing whatever the fuck he calls "comedy".
Reply to this
Well I gotta see this movie now... once it's available illegally online. Because there is no way I'm giving Michael Bay any of my money.

I'll be sure to see it 3 more times to cancel out your piracy.

If fact, I may find a way to just give money right to Michael Bay. Cut out the middle man.

Well at least one entertaining thing came out of the movie, this review. Le sigh though, it makes me sad cause i really love, not like, love The Transformers since i was a kid. The toys and the awesome animated series. I've watched every series incarnation (except the new movie inspired Transformers Prime), and it saddens me that these films are what the general public are now going to think of first when they think Transformer.....fuck man. It's times like this that make me want to cry.
Oh well, at least i still have all the kick ass toys and DVD episodes. By the way, so fucking pissed more by the fact there concept art was full of crap. Last year there was fucking concept art of Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, and Alphs Trion....lies all fucking lies to get assholes like me excited for this shit. Fuck you Micheal Bay, fuck you to the lowest bowels of the worst parts of some other inter-dimensional world that is to horrible that we cannot comprehend in this life due to the fact it will make us go insane.

Oh Christ, I'm off to see this movie with some friends this weekend. Sounds like I'll need a few stiff drinks beforehand with dinner.

Great video review, guys! Hilarious, as usual. Brad's rant at the beginning made me think of the Angry Video Game Nerd for a little bit, there.
I'm waiting for one of these vlog reviews to be just 20 seconds long. Jerrid or somebody comes out of the theater, clearly mad. Brad asks "So how was it?" and Jerrid punches him right in the face. Probably will happen with Smurfs.
Reply to this
Excellent review Brad. I love how the "Cinema Snob" part of your brain ripped another shitty Transformers to bits. My uncle and I are big Transformers stuff. When I was 11 (13 now) I went to go see #2 with him (I was staying with him for two weeks). I love my uncle to death and I had the best time before and after that fucking $13 peice of shit written by the fuckin KKK. My uncle didn't "love" it, but he liked it. I thought the movie was shit except for the fucking Optimus Prime ass kicking scenes. If this one is worse in Brad's opinion. Then for god sakes somebody kill Micheal Bay now before he has the chance to direct another one. I haven't seen the third installment of Shiah LaButFuck being the biggest doosh he can be to some cgi robots. Apparently, though you have a Transformers mark trolling your comments Brad. Who's username is OtakuX. I doubt he's serious, but Jesus Christ how can you find the second Transformers movie enjoyable? Anyways to move to a different topic I hope you guys do get the midnight showing of Monte Carlo and the "white trash lovers" are there so Jake can review 90 minute sex. Moving to a new topic. Brad, I'm a huge fan! I love almost all the reviews you put out (especially midnight showings and VLogs). Thank you, for epic reviewing. And thank you for reviewing this 150 minute peice of ass.
Reply to this
WHY would you think I'm not serious? How can I find it enjoyable? Well, more than anything, Optimus Prime died (even if he came back), the Twins were hilarious, and Devestator was amazing.
Reply to this
Yes, wishing death upon someone is so mature. Let's see if Brad, Spoony, and that Atheist dude call the fans of these movies retard sub-humans who should be sent to death camps.
Reply to this
What's it like over there in no sense of humor land? Is it dry and bitter?

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know wishing to kill someone was suppose to be humorous. I guess it depends on who you are wishing death for.

Yeah, after seeing this review and numerous other ones, I'm glad more than EVER that I have refused to see Transformers 3. If there are people who could shut off their brain and enjoy this movie, that's great. But not me. After seeing Transformers 2 (which I hated) and Transformers 1 (which I was really disappointed with), I swore to myself I wouldn't waste the money on this franchise again. If I ever see it, its going to be by watching a friend's DVD copy (thus I won't personally be putting money into that hack's Bay's wallet), and we'll be drunk off our asses and playing our own version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 if not using the Rifftrax.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Michael Bay is the abusive ex-boyfriend of nerd movies. You are drawn into a relationship with his films at first because they look exciting and dangerous and cool. But then he starts abusing your intellect with bad stories, massive plot holes and offensive characters. You manage to walk away from, swearing "its over! I'll never go back to that again!", but then he shows up with a new trailer swearing "This time will be difference baby! I promise, I'll treat your right!" And so you go back, but are horrified to see him repeat the same cycle as before.
I'll admit, I was tempted to see this movie after seeing the first trailer. But after reading/watching reviews, and hearing my so many of my friends talk about how terrible this flick was, I'm glad I walked away when I did.
Reply to this
I kinda figured this is where the conversation was gonna go, considering what Brad likes and what Michael Bay is, lol. But WOW, I can't say I've seen Brad fly off the handle as much as he did towards this movie.
I certainly agree with the general consensus that when the Transformers are the back-up characters in your film, there is a serious problem to be had. It's also nice to hear that Optimus Prime is finally laying down the law in this movie, maybe not as much as he could, but the simple fact that he is, very much a redeemer for me and this franchise.
I plan to see this movie, if only out of sheer curiosity and because I saw the other 2 at their premieres. As far as any potential for a sequel goes, and I'm guessing based off the projected money making this is getting, its certainly likely. I just hope that Michael Bay will just walk away and that whomever takes the helm the next time around, I hope they will put a far greater emphasis on the robots and their story, other then the humans and theirs because the series was never initially about them, it was about the Transformers.
Reply to this
I loved the recurring formula of this review. Brad goes on an obscenity filled rant, then the other two laugh awkwardly for a minute while the words sink in. Rinse and repeat. Too fucking funny.
Reply to this
I'm glad the three of you brought up how cold-blooded they made Optimus Prime in this movie. Spoony didn't really touch on that in his review, so it was nice to see it here. But it seriously bothered me.
Coming so soon after Decepticons were just executing Autobots for fun, Optimus is a merciless SOB who kills people he's already defeated or who SAVED HIS FREAKING LIFE a minute earlier.
Fine, dirty him up a little, but he's still supposed to be a hero. I have a five-year-old and I don't want her to see this movie. The other one was just bad, but this... I don't want her to think this is what the good guys do.
If you want badass antihero robots, don't pick a kid's cartoon. It's basically the Revenge of the Sith/Clone Wars thing backwards. Kid-friendly cartoon character/stone cold killer of children.
Between Bay and Lucas, I've had enough hacks raping my childhood for one lifetime.
Reply to this
Um, it's a PG-13 movie isn't it? If you have concerns about your 5 year old seeing violence, you shouldn't be taking her to movies with that rating. Please don't be one of those parents that shows your kid something they shouldn't then complain about it warping them.
Also.. are you defending Megatron.. a guy who's tried to kill Prime on 3 occasions between 2 movies and succeeded once? Do you really think Megatron was gonna let him limp away this time?
Reply to this
PG-13 is pretty clearly "13 and under allowed but may need guidance from a parent." Which in a movie based on children's toys and cartoons is already a little bit of a stretch. It's marketed toward kids, the toys are being sold to kids, and I'm going to level with you--I don't even care about violence in a kid's movie. I care about the context. The original animated movie had plenty of violence, but I don't remember any scenes where the good robots murdered any bad robots while they were crippled and weak... the bad robots did that a lot, though.
Defending Megatron? WTF. Seriously, ripping someone's head off while they're asking for a truce after they just saved your life seems okay under any circumstances? This was the same Prime who regretted having to take Megatron's life in the first movie. I'm not asking for them to hold hands, but some character consistency would be nice. Heroic characters we're supposed to look up to(the ones who get applause every time they show up) shouldn't murder their enemies. In a straight up fight, kill or be killed, but ignoring a flag of truce and then killing a prisoner(yeah, he beat him, he wasn't fighting back, blow his brains out just like a Decepticon did twenty minutes earlier, that's heroic).
This is not an edgy R-rated action movie. If it was, I wouldn't care. It's a family entertainment popcorn flick that turned the cartoon characters of my childhood into Michael Bay's personal wank material. It pisses me off because unlike a lot of Bay-haters, I actually liked the first movie and this could have been a decent sequel(unlike the godawful Revenge of the Fallen). But since Bay doesn't give a shit about the characters(or even keeping them consistent from one movie to the next), instead we get Dirty Harry Optimus, Megatron who's always got to be somebody's bitch(from 2 onward), and Autobots who used to debate how primitive we are but now act as our personal international hit squad.
Reply to this
I haven't seen any of these movies. I have no desire to see any of these movies. I think I'm more entertained by the sheer rage of Brad and Spoony (who did an hour long vlog with his brother) than I would be if I watched these movies. And I liked the Transformers cartoons as a kid.
I'm sorry you had to sit through that movie, but your vitriol made me laugh almost as hard as the Mr. Popper's Penguins video. Nothing's going to top that, but this was great, too.
Though, now I'm wondering what would happen if Brad, Jake and Spoony were ever in a room together with this level of hate. I'd pay money to see that.
Reply to this
I kind of ad fun at first,until I realized how dumb it was.
I think it was when Sam's boss playfight with bublebee....
Way to many huumans,we barely follow the autobos,wait,we dont follow them at all.
And what was up with all the drolling robots?
The nascar's and Starscream.
A lot of them where drolling and spitting when talking.
Great review,your always very funny.
Reply to this
Thanks for saving me the money! I will wait until it comes out on Rifftrax or something, if I even do watch it. LOL. It's hilarious how Brad opened his eyes so wide when Jerrid said that it looked "less like Transformers and more like Call of Duty".
Reply to this
One Problem with Transformers all together! Who the fuck is who as the robots when they are fighting? On screen it looks like a 2 big pieces of metal fucking each other. *singing* Transfuckers! More than meets the eye! Yeah, more than meets the eye cause I cant figure out who the fuck is who! Fuck Michael Bay!
Reply to this
I actually found it pretty easy to follow who was who in the movie. I think the problem is that if the movie doesn't really capture your attention, you're not going to figure out who is who when the battles start. I liked the movie, so I was able to figure out most of the robots.

Great review, as always. One thing I have to disagree with. I don't think it would be a good idea to make one in Hawaii. Don't you remember what happened the last time Bay made a film set there!?!?
Reply to this
The worst part of this movie isn't even in the movie itself. Patrick Dempsey had to skip a Grand-am event to attend the premiere of this...THING. The fans at Road America were DENIED his presence by this thing!
I liked the first Transformers movie, but I kinda knew it was gonna go WAY downhill afterward. I'd hoped for better than what these last two flicks had given us. And I was willing to give Michael Bay another chance because he recognized that Revenge of the Fallen was bad enough to warrant A PUBLIC APOLOGY. Well, he ain't getting another chance from me, that's for sure. If this franchise is to continue, it's time to remove him. Let Spielberg actually do something, maybe we'll get something good.

The island is one of the worst fucking movies of all time.
and this was so stupid I liked it. It's just stupid as fuck. You watch it just to go "ooooh shit exploded" and that's about it. And it satisfies that (and I get a boner over the sound design as a sound engineering student)
and I thought you were supposed to hate Shia Lebouf right?
Reply to this
Also, it's a total ripoff of another movie! I don't recall the title but I remember seeing a movie with the exact same plot as The Island! If I think right it was on an episode of MST3! The only difference between this old movie and The Island was the magical place the clones thought they were suppose to go(when they were being harvested for their organs and what not) In the old movie it was America and in The Island it was the aforementioned Island!

Thanks for confirming my fears on this film Brad. However since I unfortunately own both DVDs (Granted I haven't seen either of them in years) I will have to see this movie when it comes out on HBO just to fill the trinity of horror. I sat through Battlefield Earth and The Room so I do know about pure pain. However, if you want to see a in my opinion a good movie, go see "Midnight in Paris". You may like it you might not, but it is certainly is better than anything made by Michael Bay.
Reply to this
Of all the midnight screenings you been going to and all the reviews you've posted, this is the one I've been looking forward to the most. And I have to say, you did not disappoint.
I still can't believe I paid full ticket price to see Revenge of the Fallen back in theaters. After that grotesque mockery of all that the Tranformers had going for it, I didn't want to shell out the dough to see this one unless I heard some really great reviews. And for the most part, the reviews have been decent-- they all share the common theme of "it's better than the second one", but I wasn't really sure if that meant it was good or not. So I decided to wait and see what you and Spoony would say.
Well, thanks for clearing THAT one up! You just saved me $15 and 2 1/2 hours.

I did not waste my time with the first movie or second i heard alot of bad shit come out of that movie......there is one reason why .....no matter how much of a fan i am to transformers..-which i am not- but i like beast wars i would not see a fucking shai labouf fucking piece of shit fucker movie to save my life he ruins every fucking movie he is in he plays the same douche cocky arrogent young dip shit ...and i am tired of him ....
so i am not going to see this movie pirates was a much better movie than this tripe sorry fans if you were good fans of a franchise you would let fail and demand quality out of your favorite product and ban shia ...fast and yea from what i heard from brad and the guys there is barely any transformers...so what is the point of this movie? oh yea leech more money from the morons that go see that crap ugh i felt the same brad when i watch x- men three the anger that filled my mind and soul was never really the same again ...
so thanks for ripping micheal bay's piece of shit movie a new asshole
also the three musketters movie ..feels like resident evil ..can't that mia lady get job unless her husband is directing ? fuck! they made orlando look fucking fruity and stupid this movie is going to be fuck ..just ...ugh!!! son of bitch why doesn't he go away stop making movies or better yet stop ruining my childhood ass and his stupid ass wife too ugh!
i ah sorry ...i fucking hate these movies so much and people pay to see them thus giving them more money to make that shit
Reply to this
I liked it.
It was propably the best action movie of the three. Maybe. I mean the last hour, or whatever, was really good and there was fun stuff before that. I liked John Malcovich with his weird tan and teeth and I really liked Ken Jeong. They were funny. But I was also pretty much the only one at the packed screening laughing at them... But yeah, the third one is probaply the best action movie of the three, but overall I still prefer the first two. I don't know, there was much more of a sense of joy to them. Or like you could kinda see Shia having fun and everybody was just having a good time, but in this one, almost everyone kinda looked like they didn't want to be there. Exept Malkovich and Ken Jeong, who should have a sitcom together.

Looks like the guys Boyd and Jerrid where afraid to admit they liked the movie otherwise Brad would have exploded like a volcano.

That is a real shame actually since it is quite common now with movies these days. People judge each other so much these days I am surprised we have devolved in society. But I am sure Brad deals with those two liking this movie much like Jillian likes the Twilight series.
Reply to this
I would like to take this opportunity to kindly say, I am NOT a fan of the Twilight movies. I was playing a character in those reviews. The rifftrax versions are great however. I will admit I enjoyed the books prior to the movies being made and the crazy fad that ensued - but the characters in the books did not read as nearly ridiculously annoying as they are portrayed in the movies.
Reply to this
Well, thank you for clearing things up about that.
Reply to this
Come on lighten up. Transformers is big robots smashing stuff and a cute girl to keep dad's watching between explosions. Has this one got big robots smashing things? Is the girl cute? Well yes. Will I watch it? Well, again, yes, because I've got a kid and it's this or something that lacks big robots.
I will miss Megan Fox. I liked her, more than this new blond one. But I will probably still sit there with with a slightly odd smile on my face.

I completely agree with Brad, transformers 3 was terrible, I would even go as far as to say its the worst film of the year, great midnight review though.

Unfortunately I am going to see this, but I am going to boo when people cheer. But the guy on the left's head looks like it is disembodied cuz of the lighting, and it made me laugh the whole time. Keep up the good work, you are a greater man than I for putting yourself through this shit.

To be honest, Brad has already made better movies than Bay... :p

You have the same anger towards bad movies as I do towards politics. I love seeing these reviews. It's nice to see the average man's take on movies instead of the die-hard fans and die-hard critics (I guess you are a critic...)
Whats wrong with Paul W.S. Anderson? Though I haven't seen them, 'Love Letters to Milla Jovovich' aka 'Resident Evil' looks ok (Ha ha, I'm joking. That should be an alternate title on IMD

Jerrid's a NASCAR fan?
Sorry, we can't be friends anymore.
Reply to this
Wait, did Jerrid just say he was an Ass-car fan? ... Oh, NASCAR! ... I'm not sure which one is worse.

I think the reason why they called it "Dark of the Moon" is because they wanted to keep a "four word limit" on the subtitle. Dumb, I know, but whatever.

The sad thing is that the biggest that is the movie that is promoted for the up coming Comic Con is Reel Steel...The place where the biggest thing was Avatar two years ago, now is promoting Reel Steel.

Wait, you guys think that the twins from the last movie were racist stereotypes? Really that says more about you than it does about the movie.
To me they were dorky ass white kids - the kind that would be playing Halo and trying to talk like ghetto black youth.
ROTF was absolutely awful, but racist it was not.

Even if you take the joke-bots out of the equation and give the rest of the movie a pass, what was up with that joke in the deli about the black guy saving up to buy new teeth? That was just... WTF.
I didn't see the robot thing myself at first, but I have to ask, which is the bigger leap--robots pretending to be white kids pretending to talk like black youth or Michael Bay thinking it would be funny to make two googley-eyed robots sound like black youth and get cheap laughs from mostly white audiences? Actually, both are a logical leap. I don't think Bay puts that level of thought into his work. Question withdrawn.

Take into consideration the names of the characters: Skids and Mudflap. They sound like nicknames you'd give to retarded rednecks. Then look at their idiotic faces - they look they were somehow inbred. I mean, think about it; "Don't really do much reading"? They're redneck robots trying to be white kids trying to be black kids.
It doesn't really matter much anyway. Stupid characters, stupid plot, stupid movie. Racism? Doubt it. Dogs humping? You bet, because THAT is the kind of person Michael Bay is. Also Devastator's balls.
*sigh*

I went into this movie knowing that the plot was going to be dumb and full of holes. i did not pay nearly enough attention to the movies dialog to tell you anything that led up to why the autobots were fighting the decepticons. and im pretty sure thats why i liked it. i turned my brain off and just waited for the next action scene to start. and it was awesome! hahahahaha the first hour of the movie was very boring and i payed little to no attention to it. but when the shit hit the fan and robots started blowing each other up, it turned into a good movie. i especialy enjoyed the part where Leonard Nimoy was showing off his Buster Sword!
im actualy suprised how angry brad was though. i thought it would have just been another blah blah movie to him that he thought was "okay" and nothing special. but he hated it! hahahahaha which works out well because this was a fuckin great review! hahahahaha
im sure that if i were to dissect this movie like brad did i would have hated it just as much. but i knew it was gunna be weak and thus came out of it with exactly what a wanted. a couple hours of entertainment.

Am I the only one who thinks that "Shia LaPoof" is a better nickname?

I don´t get why this movie is applauded. I recently went to see Tree of Life, which was a beutiful masterpiece to say the least, but no applause there. Not even after the 15 minutes of beautiful imagery. But show Optimus Prime on scene, and there you have it, applause... Jeebus...

People have different taste in movies and people will applaud to different things. I understand this isn't your cup of tea but it is for others.
What I am getting at is maybe we should all try to tolerate each other's different tastes.

or lack of taste

That was delicious Brad... let's just say you don't exactly have to be Palpatine to feel the hate flowing through you!
And much like Spoony, I appreciate how you suffer for us and thank you for saving me $12.

Aaron Kruger didn't write Scream 4. Kevin Williamson did.
Reply to this
Ehren Kruger was confirmed as doing an uncredited rewrite. That's why Kevin Williamson was disappointed in the script.

Just going to risk being flamed here and say I really, really liked this movie. It was about a billion times better than Revenge of the Fallen, and was remarkably restrained for a Michael Bay film. I'm willing to have a polite discussion debating the pros and cons of this movie with anyone who's interested.
Reply to this
Good luck with that but it is nice to know there a few people on here who not afraid to share their opinions even if it is at the risk of being flamed and ridiculed. Just know you have my support.

I'm with Brad, this movie fucking sucks.

Why the fuck doesn't Mikey just make a Call of Duty movie? You can tell he wants to.
Reply to this
honestly, that would probably be amazing, since modern warfare is basically a michael bay movie in game form. if any body made a call of duty movie (which you know is going to happen) i would want him to do it, i'd bet he could even do a decent job with the eventual halo movie (but i still want peter jackson for that one)

I have to agree. In every one of these movies I forgot that I was watching a movie about Transformers. I get into arguments with my hardcore transformer friends over this and they say there is a perfect amount. I think people are blinded by past sentiment of the series and just miss having transformers around so they latch onto this garbage. Plus that philistine Megan Fox didn't made it popular.

great review Brad, as always. I feel sorry for your friend who has to see the smurfs. I want to tear my eyes out everytime I see the smurfs commercial on tv. My sympathies.
Reply to this
im going to admit that i actually really liked this movie. the 3d was a lot better than i thought it was going to be, and i saw it in imax so that helped. the plot was stupid, the jokes were juvenile and the fight scenes were long, but thats exactly what i expected.
Reply to this
Another thing, this was not a kids movie. people were getting murdered left in right on screen and they killed a couple kids off screen. so why do people take their 5-10 year olds to this?
you cant call it dark side of the moon because the moment you think about it Roger waters sues you
dont trust cowboys and aliens, avatar aang is a main supporting character

Hate to tell you Brad but there is word that they want to get Jason Statham to replace Shia La (Butt-Fuck) for Transformers 4 Man everytime you think you're out...."They Pull You Back In!!" Here os the article: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/21090/statham-wanted-for-transformers-4

this movie was just plain boring almost nothing was new with this movie and the ending was just plain bad

Awww, c'mon, Brad! Why the whole "Boo, O'Reilly!" crack?
O'Reilly's gotten a lot better over the years and he was pretty damn funny, at least in the Adam Westing sense, in this movie...
He was funny in Iron Man 2, too.

Michael Bay was likely invoking 9/11 with the repeated line of "Let's Roll", since it was the last phrase heard by one of the passengers on Flight 93. If he is tasteless enough to invoke images of the terrorist attacks in his movie, it's pretty likely that he let a murder victim's dying war cry be used as a leitmotif in his shitty-ass script.
Reply to this
Honestly, I think a Michael Bay movie is like eating a whole tub of icecream. It might be an awesome idea at the time, but a few hours later you realize it was NOT an awesome idea as you're leaning over the toilet spilling your guts out.

Wow... That was beautiful. The ranting was so awesome! Not as awesome as Snob's ranting but it's still badass.
You may not like this next part but this movie is a guilty pleasure for me. Mostly because of Optimus, Bumblebee, John Tuturro and the action... Everything else I agree was shit
My brother has a really funny way of calling Shila's last name. He calls him "Shila LaBoob" XD
Oh and loved Jerrid's story of you saying Indiana Jones quotes

I was attending Anime Expo in Los Angeles. The main reason I saw "Transformers 3" was because the Hatsune Miku concert was sold out. ? I decided to go all over the convention warning everybody else not to go see it.
