Transformers 3.....the worst film ever?

I must have done something horrible because I just punished myself by watching Transformers 3. It was the most GOD AWFUL thing I've ever seen on film and I've seen "The Room", "Birdemic", "Battlefield Earth" and "Avatar".

Let me start off with what was good about the movie...and that part is done. That isn't true. Patrick Dempsey was good as was Alan Tudyk even though his part was horrible. Okay that really was the best part of this abomination called a movie.

Now to the bad....where to begin....I really don't know. I'll start with the horrible HORRIBLE acting. It was god awful. Shia LaBeouf should NEVER be allowed to 'act' again. Instead of his usual bumbling in the first two he now is a 'tough' guy which made me miss his bumbling! His parents, who I usually like in...especially Kevin Dunn, are horrible. John Turturro, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich I just felt sorry for. How can talented people like that say the horrible lines they were given. It was written like like I would have wrote a movie as a teenager...and probably now...which isn't a good thing!

Lets move onto the writings. They quote Spock and they have Leonard Nimoy say it. Yeah that is where this movies writing goes. You have Sam's mom talking to him about his girlfriends orgasms. You have the usual horrible things said by the Autobots which I have already forgotten.

Now to the point that really angers me, much like the first two films, the way the Autobots act. I grew up with Transformers. I feel like some of these characters are almost family. I remember crying as kid when Prime died in the animated film. Watching Prowl and Ironhide die gave me nightmares! I've known these characters my whole life and the way they act in the films are not the characters I know. Yes i know this makes me sound like a fan boy but that is because I am. I get the comics still (which by the way are awesome). I still collect the toys, not those from the movie, but those based on the old series and the comics. I own the entire original TV series and the movie. I am one of the ultimate transformers fans out there. Optimus Prime, in my opinion, was one of the true good characters out there. Prime often did the right thing even when he shouldn't have. In the movies you have Prime taking trash while ripping Decepticon apart. You have him killing in this movie when he never would. I am going to give spoilers here so stop reading if you haven't seen this movie and think you might...



In this movie Prime fakes leaving the Earth to teach the leaders of Earth that they can't trust the Decepticon. By doing this Chicago is all but destroyed. Really? REALLY!!

I just realized the Transformers portion of the storyline is basically ripped off from two stories from the old cartoon. The first three episodes, a mini-series, is about Megatron bring Cybertron to Earth. There is also an episode where Megatron and a human trick the government into exiling the Autobots.

In the cartoon of course Prime actually leaves because he is honorable and doesn't sacrifice tens of thousands of humans.

Anyway this would be like George Lucas basically taking a character from Star Wars and making him into a whiny baby....oh wait that happened. I know that this is a new 'universe' as it were but man they didn't get anything right.

There is a scene where Soundwave, with the correct voice that made me smile, is about to execute Bumblebee after killing Wheeljack and I wanted him to do it. I wanted Bumblebee to die. I wanted my favorite character to die. My dream car is an old beetle because of Bumblebee and I waned to see his head blown off. I was glad to see Ironhide die. I wanted to see them all die because then there wouldn't be a chance of another movie.

Yes this is a rant from a fan boy. However it is also a rant from a fan of movies. I can stand the first movie, especially if I pretend it isn't a Transformers movie. It was okay. The second was just bad no matter what. This one though, it was horrible. The special effects are okay. The acting and writing are the worst I've seen for some time.

I give this 0 stars. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch. I would watch all those movies mentioned above over and over again before EVER watching this again. May god have mercy on Michael Bay's soul for this movie.
