Hi, i'm Adam. Back then, I was an idiot who knew nothing about movie reviewing whatsoever and I was a lazy and butthurt bastard but right now I will be more mature and better than before. Before I beging the review I will talking about the first two movies. The first one was good, it's not a masterpiece but it is a good film despite some flaws fans were complaining about. The second film... well, it took me three tries to actully hate it. The first time I saw it I thought it owned everything but I saw a couple reviews and watched the film again and said it's not as bad as people make it out to be and then I watched the Bad Movie Beatdown episode and watched it again and finally understood everything, I HATE THAT FILM!. So when the third film was released, I was expecting Michael Bay to redeem himself by replacing the crappy humor with the dark and gritty tone we all wanted. I was right at the start but critics seemed to hate it but not as much as they hated the second film. There is a fanbase consisting of Transformers 2 haters which I thought was a pleasure to see.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE FILM?:

-Peter Cullen, Hugo Weaving and Leonard Nimoy as the three main Autobots and Decepticons.

-The CG effects are better than ever.

-The plot has improved.

-Rosie Huntington Whitley is a better actress than Megan Fox despite it being her feature film debut.

-Brains and Wheely are funnier than most of the humor from the first two films.

-The action scenes are badass.

-The scene with the driller wrapping around the building was the most suspensful scene in the movie.

-The addition of Shockwave and chance to make him more badass than ever.

WHAT I HATE ABOUT THE FILM?:

-Some of the humor is still present but at least it's toned down... alot.

-Shia Labeouf's acting has'nt improved much.

Megatron and Shockwave being a bit underused.

-The first half may have some entertaining sequences, it does drag on until Sentinel Prime betrays the Autobots.

-Ironhide's death never being mentioned again.

-A few continuity errors like the scene where Bumblebee rescues Sam but then a minute later he gets captured and threatened by Barricade.

-The final confrontation could've gone on a bit longer.

-The addition of Sam's parents but at least they're not as annoying as before.

-Since the movie made so much money at the box office, another film is announced despite the fact this film is supposed to be THE FINAL MOVIE!!!.

OVERALL: It has it's flaws but overall it's the best film in the trilogy and a great way for Michael Bay to please most of the haters. It was a fun movie... nothing more.
