Transformers III now being pummeled by critics...

[Hector]

I'm with the critics on this one.

I watched the first one...and I have no more need to watch it again...and I HATED the second one...so the odds are that this one is gonna blow too.

[Hector]

I walked out about 10 minutes before the end of the first Transformers movie. It showed no signs of ending and a didn't care who won.

Exactly...lol.

Hell...I couldn't tell which robot was which...

[Hector]

IAnd Michael Bay makes crap films.

Amen, brother...amen.

[Hector]

Thor had mostly positive reviews...it received an overall 78% fresh rating...so it's not about critics hating these types of films...it's about hating bad films, period. Thor was a good film...directed by a fine filmmaker...Kenneth Branagh.

Michael Bay on the other hand is a hack.

I think Captain America has a good shot of being well received.

I may go check it out next week on 1/2 price day at the local theatre. I heard how bad #2 was and have not seen it or rented it. Saw #1 in the theaters and even tho it was a tad long I liked it's epic scope. There was a lot of ground to cover and you needed a long film for #1 to satisfy.

My kids watched the midnight show and LOVED it! They said it was the best in the series. Well, we'll see if that's a minority opinion or if it holds with others.

I saw #1 Could not make out the good guy from the bad ones during a fight, This factor was worse for #2. I thought #1 was at best ok. Number #2 I thought was really sucky, liked the Species like alien girl, which by the way made no sense. I dont expect much from this one as well. plus, I miss Megan Fox. I like her, she is a looker. One of the problems I have with this series. is that they changed the look of the robots a bit to much, I believe the faces and bodies should resemble the Cartoons. What ya all think?

saw it last night great fun. Lots of robots beating each other up and mayhem abounds. Bay true to form has lots of city drestroying explosions but it is fun and after all he's Michael Bay.
Might be a bit scary/violent for younger kids - people get trampled and incinerated in the film at times
what I did find a bit dissapointing was that they never show why the new autobots adopted NASCAR racecar forms - a missed backtory scene but maybe it was covered in a graphic novel I was unaware of

Peter Cullen was excellent as always as optimus and Frank Welker (cartoon megatron) voices soundwave
got exactly what i expected and it's way better than the 2nd one, PLot is thinner than #1 but more robots and fights so who cares
the VS model is smoking hot but really does even less to move the plot that Megan Fox did in #1 or 2 so she is eye candy for it's own purpose
no spoliers per se but a long time TF fan may see the sting coming early on. I make it a point not to read advances on the plot or cast to keep these films enjoyable for me but i guessed what was coming about half way through

Seen it already. Pure garbage. So was Green Lantern... Both were absolutely painful. I want the late 70's and early 80's back... Give me "Alien", "The Thing", "Blade Runner", "Predator", "Conan", "ET", "Star Wars", "Halloween" and "The Terminator" over any of today's crap any day.

I saw the first one. It felt like Michael Bay's explosive CG diarreah attack.
Other than that, I loved it...

which cartoon remember the classic sunbow 84-89 show's characters were loosely based on the g1 deisgns the first year bots were originally designed in the late 70's. The designs for the film bots are alot closer to what hasbro and takara were doing with TF designs in the late 90's and 2000's especially the alternator and BINALTECH ones

I almost have no interest. I thought the first one was bad. The second one was abysmal, I believe Michael Bay even admitted the 2nd one was horrible. I honestly wish they would have siphoned a bit more from the 80s canon of toys and the cartoon.

The mixing up and complete redesign of every single character in both movies, and making Devastator a doglike robot with testicles and "Transformer Heaven"was unspeakably bad on another level.

I hope the tickets were free for Green Latern and Transformers.Im boycotting all these stupid films except for Super 8 its the best summer film Ive seen to so far. but bring on Capt America Im ready-Joe Johnston rocks!

[Thor]

As long as it was better than the second movie I don't care. Then again is should not be hard to top the 2nd train wreck.
