If this is more like 3 than 2, I'm cool with it. I thought Michael Bay had said he was done with Transformers, though.

After the disappointment of 1, the WTF of 2 and boredom of 3, I think I'm done putting money on this franchise.
I am, though, wondering what kind of racial stereotype will be presented in the Autobots next. They've already done funky black guys, uneducated black people and working-class Brits. My guess is that the next in line is a math-enthusiast Autobot who transforms into a calculator and speaks like Short Round.

If you saw Transformers 3 in IMAX 3D and weren't just completely fucking blown away by the last 45 minutes / the entirety of the sequence in Chicago / climax of the movie, then I don't know what to tell you.

Amazing special effects a good movie does not make.
It wasn't just special effects. It was a long, coherent action scene with huge stakes and crazy setpieces and sequences.
So was the entirety of 2012 (Kevin Spacey film). Were you awed by it too?
Psst, John Cusack.
Adammon, ruining jokes since 6 minutes ago.
I liked 2012. That mad dash limo drive through the collapsing Los Angeles was fucking awe-inspiring.
I just accepted the movies as nothing more than giant robots beating the crap out of each other and enjoyed all three. Knowing I'll get flamed on this I enjoyed the first one the most. The highway chase scene was great. The second was my least favorite. I'll gladly drop my money on a fourth film.
And this scene in IMAX 3D was pretty spectacular:

Fixed that for you.
cough...Star Wars.. Cough
This is an example of shooting yourself in the foot.
BIG LOUD DUMB POPCORN MOVIE... I'll pay my $3 matinee ticket and come out thinking that it was almost worth the money.
I paid to see the first one. I learned my lesson. This one won't get my money, either.
This. So much this. Unless they have Simon Furman write it or something, I'm out.
Liked the first one, didn't like the second time I saw it. Didn't like the second one at all. I admit I still get a kick out of the third one. I just wish Sam would die and it would concentrate more on the robots, but I know that is asking a lot of "general audiences"
Was wondering how they could even make a forth one since Megatron is dead, but then I realized they already brought him back once, and this would be a good setup for Unicron to show up and make him Galvatron.

I dug it more than the second one because I could what was happening most of the time. Something the second one was fucking guilty of. Also because the main non-job related plot was cribbed from two episodes of the original cartoon, which made me a little warm inside (funnily enough, the physics in the stupid children's cartoon were more thought out than the ones used in the movie for adults). It was still a shitty movie with neat special effects, but it was a less shitty movie than Transformers: Revenge of the Dark Fallen.
I love my local aVX theatre.
Fuck, I can reserve and book my seats online..

I have to suck no one's dick for that.
Never got around to seeing the third one, should do that. I think the problem I had with the first two more than anything was how centered it gets on Sam and the humans as opposed to the Transformers themselves. I mean I guess you need some form of human element to keep it relatable to some degree, but really. It's not like the various cartoons were more than toy vehicles about robots kicking the shit out of each other, I don't need DEEP, I just need some well-shot robot violence.
I read somewhere that the first movie was human-centric rather than robot-centric due to budget limitations. They couldn't have too many shots of the robots.
For the second and third movies though, I don't think they can use the same excuse. I guess Michael Bay just likes going "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!"
