I went and saw Transformers 3 yesterday, and I liked it. But instead of writing paragraph after paragraph explaining who would benefit most from paying $8.50 (or whatever it costs to see a movie where you live), a simple list seemed like the best option. So, without further ado:
See it if you like:
– Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
– Fighting Robots
– Good 3D
– To laugh (Ken Jeong (Jerry Wang), Julie White (Judy Witwicky), John Malkovich (Bruce Brazos), Alan Tudyk (Dutch), random sayings peppered throughout the film by Autobot and Decepticon alike)
– Explosions
– Leonard Nemoy
– More explosions
– Wingsuits
– Even more explosions
– Good CGI
– Autobots blowing up an illegal Iranian nuclear plant
– Freedom!
Don’t see it if:
– You’re looking for an extensive and well thought out plot.
– You hate explosions
Really, it’s mindless Summer action cinema at its best. If you’re looking for that, then you might just enjoy Dark of the Moon. For everyone else, go see Cars 2.
