Even the title gives away what the movie is. Boring and predictable. There are a lot of elements that contribute to it's flop in the movies. A movie that the world population predicted to be a success, disappointed it's fans. Well at least it disappointed me.
First of all, the producers' decision to totally cut off Mikaela (Megan Fox) was bad move. Yeah she might be a little too honest in interviews but a movie is a movie. It's just lame how experienced filmakers like Michael Bay would act a little childish and hold a grudge to some teenagers' rebel. Her absence was too obvious. -in a bad way. I was already attached to her character in the previous movie and when she was replaced by fish-faced Carly... it was a whole other second-class film. A body-arching pose leading to over exposure and an offense to feminism.
Secondly, The storyline was soo... predictable. Boy has problems in life. Boy wannabe a hero. Girl is too hot for him. Boy is jealous. Some robot wanna rule the world. Other robots wanna stop it... Honestly i was dozing off for the whole 1.5 hours of the movie, and only woke up during robotic fights.
Thirdly, the movie as a package. Everything is the same as the two previous movie. (CGI, scripts...so cliche!) I was expecting something crazier. Something outstanding but the whole movie was filled with Optimus's speeches. Oh and yes the other prime, Sentinel who stood on a building giving a speech while people are fighting a battle. (i figured the Primes were toastmasters back in Cybertron)
However, i wouldnt say i totally regret paying to see this movie. It was after all an anticipation. (the trailer itself bored me having shown in EVERY movie i went to)I'd give it a 3.5 star rating. I just dont think i look forward to a Tranformers 4.
So, Michael Bay, Bring back Mikaela, kill off Carly and make more Autobots!
