I think it's weird that anyone goes to the movies just to make fun of the movie.

Agreed. I have the same issue with people watching TV shows they know are bad. Like there isn't a better way to spend that time.

Sometimes a terrible movie can leave the broken despair of it's world and enter a new and exciting realm of hilarity! Clearly, your not MST3000 fans.

jesus...this scene is horrible...made only worse by that damn music in the background.

she's wayyyy hotter in video than she is in still photos, that's for sure

That's not saying much. That's like saying my shit smells better in the toilet than it does in the sink. Either way it still stinks.

How great would that scene be with Megan Fox...! This chick is like someone's stand-in being asked to play the lead role. Jason Statham is hittin' that. He could do so much better.

Given all the recent PR seems centred on why Megan Fox got fired and how Rosie's so sweet her bowel movements smell like bakery fresh cinnamon rolls, anyone else get the vibe that this film might actually be a steaming pile of shit?

Speaking of shit, that clip Snake posted is horrible. Bad acting, writing, and directing. I wonder if we're seeing Bay's version of Spielberg/Capshaw.

Considering the the previous two movies (Shit and Shittier) I'm going into this assuming it's going to be awful. If it's simply crappy, that's a big step up.

'Transformers' to pump up 3D brightness
Par, Bay maximize luminosity in 2000 RealD theaters with enhanced digital prints

Was there a transformer in that scene shooting another transformer? No? Then what the fuck was the point of this scene, and it had better be deleted.

it's to showcase the amazing versatility of Bay of course! He's showing that he can suck at moronic romantic scenes right along with his usual craptacular action scenes too.

Great review of the first transformers and of Michael Bay and his shooting stype in particular. Really kicks off around the 2:30 mark.

Sounds like what Naughty Dog did to the 3D trailer for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

Ive read a few impressions here and there and they can basically be summed up as:

- BIG and LOUD
- The best out of all 3 movies
- BIG and LOUD
- Long
- Great 3D
- BIG and LOUD

Black Hawk Down action? Isn't that the opposite of "being able to recognize dudes"?

The last 40-plus minutes of Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon amount to "the mother of all battle sequences," he says. "It's truly a Battle Royale. Nonstop mayhem battle....and your mouth is open that he did this. It's really noticably epic...a big selling point.

This is going to be tedious. 40-plus minutes of Bay spewing OVER-THE-TOP-NON-STOP-ACTION ejaculate all over the screen. Ugh. It's going to be overkill. Sure it's an action movie, but this dude has no use for restraint, finesse or understatement.

I can't wait for this!

Lord help me, but I secretly enjoy how over-the-top Bay likes to make his action. I like his scenes of excessive hero worship. But I still can't drag my gf or my best friend to see this. I may be flying solo.

What the fuck are you expecting from a Michael Bay film?

This is news to my ears. I don't want a Michael Bay film with substance. The man knows how to film action and he knows how to do it well. For example, the entire 40-minute raid on Pearl Harbor is the only decent thing about that movie. It's too bad that Bay thought it had to be a lifeless Titanic clone, because it would've been better as a hard-up, straight action film.

If 40-plus minutes of 153 are that of spectacular action, then that's better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen right there.

Does anyone know if this will playing in D-Box? I am going to be in NM that weekend, and they just opened a screen, but I don't know yet if it will be playing.

I respectfully disagree.

Woo, McTiernan, Cameron, Spielberg, Friedkin and Carpenter, to name a few, are all far superior directors of action sequences. Never mind old school directors like Peckinpah, Wellman, Hawkes and Curtiz.

Bay is the king of action porn. Excessive amounts of swirling, diving 360 degree camera movement coupled with the requisite explosions, smoke, split second edits, loud, chaotic CGI fueled visual vomit.

He's certainly not bereft of talent, far from it, it's just that IMHO he lacks a certain discipline behind the camera when it comes to his action sequences.

His movies are bloated and soulless.

That said, I'm going to hope for the best with this film. I'm certainly going to see it on the big screen.

I'd love nothing more than for Bay to someday deliver a 100 minute, lean, mean well written piece of action cinema. I think he's capable of something special if he can just learn to pare it down.
