Just a short insight for the third film of the Transformers franchise. (Spoiler alert!) “Dark of the Moon received generally mixed to negative reviews from film critics, with many praising the film’s visual effects and 3D action sequences, but criticizing the below average acting and script; film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives Dark of the Moon a score of 38% based on 186 reviews and a rating average of 4.9/10, saying “Its special effects — and 3D shots — are undeniably impressive, but they aren’t enough to fill up its loud, bloated running time, or mask its thin, indifferent script”.” (via) One of the many reasons why I wanted to watch this film was because of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. (If you follow my Tumblr for reblogs, you’ll see how much Victoria’s Secret Angels I reblog in a day.) All biases aside, she did great for a first time actress; her facial expressions were there (which I realized, was never seen in Megan Fox’s face). Although I don’t think action movies are for her. What I disliked was the lack of explanation why Mikaela (Fox) left. First scene and Carly (Huntington-Whiteley) was already there and has a close relationship with Sam (Labeouf). They could’ve done better. What I really loved was the amazing visual effects that gets better every movie. What I hated, though, was how the concept of the movie was quite unique and intriguing but fell flat on how it was delivered. The scenes were obviously cut and had no connection at all. (And I wonder why all the Transformers movies have to involve politics?) But I have to admit, some parts got me teary-eyed. Particularly when Ironhide was executed and when Bumblebee was saying goodbye because the Autobots are “leaving” the earth. Definitely not a favorite, but wouldn’t mind watching it again (for the love of Bumblebee). The first movie is still the best. Always.
