Transformes 3 review

I had the chance to watched Transformers: Dark Side of The Moon with the family yesterday. So here's my take on the movie.

First of all, it's a simple 4/5 stars, easy, because of this reason, the action, explosive, battle scenes was AWESOME. The original cast was great as always, funny and entertaining, thanks to the great dialog, and good acting. The storyline although good written, seems kinda long, but it's to put in all the important part in, so no harm there.

Why didn't I gave it a 5 stars? Because of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and her acting. Here's proving a point that being good looking, does not necessarily mean you can act. Although, she did get more dialog that Megan Fox ever get in the 2 movies, kudos to the writer for that. But her acting was so bad, that you wish Megan Fox would come back. The worst part for me, is her facial expression, it is kinda the same whether she's mad, or scared, or happy, God woman, did you took botox or something?!

If you saw the movie, you would agreed what Megan Fox said about Michael Bay trying to exploit woman, making things sexy and hot, while degrading them. You could see from the camera angle, and some scene that it does really make one think WTF was that for?! Like the scene when she standing in the road try to look sexy while things blowing up around her.

Micheal Bay's view to appease the 16 years old with making Rosie Huntington-Whiteley a sexy symbol does work, it's a good strategy if you're don't care much about acting though. I for one am.

If you thinking, "I am watching the movie for the robots", well, you would be disappointed. The robots, only fight for a few times, and most of the times, the fight last like 10 minutes top, Optimus Prime has the worst role in the 3rd sequel, not to put any spoiler, but he is not feeling his mojo in this movie.

The whole movie was overpowered by the human armies, which is not bad, since the action was superb, but the movie is call Transformers, so it's kinda miss the mark there. Plus, the juvenile-like love scene can be cut down a lil bit more, it's just too yucky.

So, all and all, the movie was a 4/5 stars. Action scene was AWESOME. Robot fight scene was brief, and make you want more! Especially when the story is near 3 hours long! Optimus Prime loss its mojo. Human armies definitely rules! Love story is kinda overpowering for me. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can't act, but has much more dialog than Megan Fox. If you want to see some great action and sexiness, this is definitely great movie to watch, just bring extra popcorn or drinks.
