So apparently Michael Bay recently admitted that Transformers 2 was a steaming pile of worthlessness and promised that third installment, Transformers: Dark of the Moon would put him back in good standing with fans. Well, Mikey, it's no looking so good for you.
Critics are slamming the movie, which is no surprise, but I don't expect a 50 year-old critic to enjoy a movie based on a line of toys he didn't grow up with. So the real quality of the movie lies in the hands of the fans and the fans are saying that the effects are amazing, but that the movie lacks heart.
Wait a second...do robots have hearts? Oh, wait, you're talking about Optimus Prime's Matrix of Leadership, right? Well, I guess that's LIKE a heart. I mean, he did die in the animated movie when it was removed from his...sorry, I was having a nerd moment. I'm back.
Anyways, I supposed it is what it is. It's a movie about robots who transform into vehicles (and sometimes dinosaurs!) and it's guaranteed to have lots of explosions. So, as long as you go with that expectation, you should come away happy- which is the same way I watched the first two. Plus, they had this.
