And that’s something I never expected from Mr. A large part of this movie was, to be honest, brutally boring. Michael Bay even surprised us with the introduction of a new flaw for series: god-awful pacing. Yet, it also serves up a healthy platter of all the faults we’ve come to expect from the franchise: terrible writing, a nonsensical plot, and stale characters. It would be hardly a spoiler to say that the third installment follows this formula, and with a budget rumors swirling between $200 and a ludicrous $400 million dollars, Dark of the Moon provides all the whizzes and bangs one would expect. If by some happenstance you don’t know what the Transformers movies are about, here’s a quick summary: good alien robots and bad alien robots descend on Earth, lots of explosions happen, and Shia LaBeouf somehow saves the world and gets impossibly attractive women to fall in love with him even though he’s a sickeningly entitled underachiever who isn’t terribly brave, smart, strong, or charismatic. However which way you cut it, Transformers 3 is flat out terrible. Or perhaps it wasn’t from sheer laziness and greed perhaps there was a secret writers’ strike that no one knew of. And why not, when Transformers 2 made over $800 million on its way to becoming the highest grossing movie of the year. Bay seems to have tried the same method for Transformers 3. ![]() Perhaps that’s why Transformers 2 swept the awards season for worst movie of 2009. You were apparently forced to make a movie with no script and fill in the story line afterwards. I was prepping a movie for months where I only had 14 pages of some idea of what the movie was.” Well, okay Michael. It was just terrible to do a movie where you’ve got to have a story in three weeks. Yet for the second movie, Michael Bay had excuses: “The writers’ strike was coming hard and fast. Unfortunately, Transformers: Dark of the Moon falls under the latter.įollowing in the footsteps of Transformers 2, the third installment can be described as nothing else but ‘crap’. Then there are movies that exhibit the depths humanity will go to make some money. ![]() ![]() There are movies that plumb the depths of humanity.
