More than meets the eye!!

Tranformers 3 was a movie that was a real enigma to me. Now the story wasn't too bad though predictable. Then again, this is Transformers not Sherlock Holmes' detective hour. So there aren't going to be any last second twist to the plot. Bad guy gets technology that humans don't understand and bad guy tries to bring Cybertron (Transformers' home) to earth. It is up to the robots and good guys to stop them.

Keeping with the theme of the movie, the humans are fringe players and don't do very much. They don't even have weapons that can do real harm to the robots! You mean to tell me that the Autobots didn't have the decency to share their weaponry knowledge so that they can do some serious damage and contribute to the battle?! What we had were some sad excuse of ex-Marines being scared to go into battle.

That was my problem with this sequel. There were too many fringe players. Roles that were not necessary at all. The biggest of them all was John Malkovich. Really!! Do you really need that whiny, stupidly stereotyped role??? Then there was the team of ex-Marines that Epps went to ask for help. Of course they would need help but just use the extras. No need to give them lines. No need for comic relief (they weren't even close).

I am not sure about the girl as well. At least Megan Fox was hot, could hot wire cars and bikes and could run and fight. This one only had a set of extremely long legs and the sausage lips. She can't act, fight, talk back, no humour and she wasn't even seductive. Seriously, if she wasn't in the movie, will she be missed? I tell you who would be missed.....Megan Fox!! Patrick Dempsey also played more of a cameo role than a main. So it was like a cameo for some big stars except for the girl, which only has big lips.

Even Shia was not as active. Didn't do much or anything that directly helped with saving the world. This was an Optimus Prime movie. While it was not as bad as some made it to be, it was a very poorly executed movie. This is a movie, you will see no matter what....so good luck and don't be too anal about the historical details.
