Saw this and thought it was good. Definitely better than the second, I thought it was as good as the first, but others have said the first is better.

Heard it was horrendous and only redeeming quality was a lack of Megan Fox ...

Need more info.

As long as it has Optimus Prime being Optimus Prime, I don't give a **** about anything else.

Khross, I heard it had it's problems, but that it was also the best of the three. Take that as you will.

I went, I watched, I loved it. Had a great time.

I want to see it so I can post at length about how much I hate it, but I don't want to pay theater prices. I hated the the 2nd one more than I hated the first one, but I hated them both. I felt zero nostalgia from the first two, where I felt GI Joe delivered. I find it hard to believe that the second sequel actually made this train-wreck better.

Wow that was in a different league than the other two. As a huge TF fan I approve!

Watching the third one actually made the second one make more sense.

Was a good movie, throughly enjoyed it... picked up on all the small snide remarks made about the ex-gf.

Plus the little ex-decepticon robots were just cute enough to eat up.

You will SO not be disappointed. He kicks all kinds of *** in this movie.

Best Transformers movie yet, by a long shot. I enjoyed the first one, but I think it was more from nostalgia than anything else. Couldn't stand the second one. Absolutely hated it. But this new one, is what the first 2 movies should have been.

Had the best quote out of all 3 movies:

Optimus Prime wrote:
"Time to find out!"


Unfortunately you'll have to see the movie to understand it. :P

Green Lantern was better.

That's the biggest weakness of Transformers III - that it
Spoiler:
tries to setup that Megatron is on Earth for slave labor and free parking for one plot while another plot has him on Earth to basically destroy it and our sun.


However, the ***** about Megan Fox was uncalled for/unprofessional at some level, too.

Watch 2 for the action but turn your brain off. There are some cool fights in it.

Spoiler:
I don't see these being conflicting storylines as I see Megatron being impatient and having multiple plans, both of which would **** over the Autobots.

Plan 1) Continue with Sentinel Prime's plan of transporting Cybertron to Earth, enslaving its people and using its resources to rebuild.

Plan 2) Kill all life in the solar system and gain revenge on the Autobots, plus be able to harvest resources from planets after native life had died. Rebuild Cybertron from the ground up.

If you assume, in part two, that Megatron does not know about the Autobot spaceship, his plan with Sentinel could never work out. Prime had no method, that Megatron knew of, for getting to the moon.

Watched this, Thor, and Capt. America. This was by far the worst of the three.

By a long way. Terrible, terrible movie.

Which isn't to say that I didn't kinda like the last hour or so. As always, the Transformers parts were pretty cool, but I don't think there was *one* human I liked. Except for maybe Black Soldier Guy, and White Colonel Dude.

Sam's job hunt? Annoying. Intelligence Director Woman? Annoying. Sam's parents? Gah, please.

I know it can't be two and a half hours of solid, wall to wall robot kicking robot ***, but for ****'s sake can we not have such an insipid script?

If I was playing the Michael Bay Drinking Game... I would have died from alcohol poisoning.

You definitely can't watch this in close proximity to Captain America, that movie was awesome! If you watch it around the other tripe that was out this summer though it wasn't bad.

I have a bruise on my forehead from all the /facepalming this movie was making me do for the first hour and a half.

The only reason Transformers should have humans in the movies is so they have someone around to wash them at the end. They can bring back Fox for that.

I'd rather they didn't. So not a fan.

Also, Michael Bay has no concept of physics. But this is a revelation only in the same vein as water being somewhat wet and good for drinking.

Most Hollywood movies have no concept of physics, so that really isn't a scathing indictment of Michael Bay.

If you are concerned with the laws of physics during a TF movie, you have no reason to begin in the first place.
