Michael Bay's
TRANSFORMERS franchise has become an enormous commercial success, and
although the second installment received terrible reviews, it ain't
gonna avoid people from rushing to see the third one. Now, it looks and
feels exactly the other two films, in reality very little is changed
upon so what we're given is a semi-mixed version of the first two, and
that's sadly not a good thing. TRANSFORMERS 3 involves some spectacular
CGI effects, and the more time director Bay shares with the robots not
involved, the better the film is, which is kind of surprising given his
experience. Megan Fox has been replaced by a high-heeled beauty which
gives the teenage boys an alternate run for their money, and Shia
LeBeouf in the leading part does a moderately good job, and as for the
rest of the cast, it's not very much to say except that John Malkovich
is funny in his scenes. The plot is as always very confusing and badly
told, and the climax is long and noisy, which one can say is positive,
though again - I felt tired at the end, being the film is very loud and
way too long (a huge Michael Bay issue). It's way better than the second
one, though not nearly as good as the first, so what we're stuck with
is something in between.
