TRANSFORMERS 3:
DARK OF THE MOON(2011)
This movie was just more of the same as the last two. It
started out with great promise, having one of America's
true heroes from the past, Buzz Aldrin'! But unfortunately
it just digressed into a huge battle movie, hardly no acting
needed! Too bad too, this coulda been an awesome movie! C+
From IMDb.com:
This film is certainly an outstanding visual spectacle that
boasts some of the most impressive, fluid and stunning
cgi sequences I've ever seen. The photography is fantastic
and the 3d technology is used effectively to create stunning,
visually amazing scenes. However, that is the only aspect
of the film that I believe deserves merit at all.
Despite the continuous action, destruction and battles,
I found this film to be extremely boring, and the final
battle, which claimed the last hour of the film was far
too long and drawn out and it greatly prevented me
from appreciating the visual spectacle that is the final
battle as it's so long it becomes tedious and I couldn't
wait for it to end.
The extensive use of cgi action scenes was what ruined
the film for me, and although I never fully agree with
the typical view that modern films have too much cgi
and effects and not enough good story, this film
certainly presented a convincing case that the above
statement is true. As there is so much shooting,
exploding and fighting in this film there is relatively
little time for dialogue, which was largely, poorly
written, and full of cliches.
Finally, I didn't rate the casting of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
or her performance. She has clearly been chosen for
the role for her good looks and her great sex appeal
although I think she shines brighter as an underwear
model than blockbuster film actress. Also, It seems
unbelievable to me that Shia LaBeouf's character,
although not a bad looking guy, has been in relationships
with 2 characters played by women who have both
topped the annual FHM 100 sexiest women in the world
poll. Rosie has clearly been cast to attract more male
viewers, bring sex appeal that the film didn't really
need and throughout struck me as being far out of
Shia's league. - Freddy Cox
