The Autobots and Decepticons search for a Cybertronian spacecraft on the Moon to use against each other in their final battle against each other.
Why you might not be excited about it:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Your interest in this movie probably depends heavily on your impression of the one before it. A lot of people did not approve of the second movie, whether because of the story, the pacing, or a certain pair of characters. Whatever the reason, Revenge of the Fallen was massacred by critics, reportedly becoming director Michael Bay’s worst-reviewed film. People who know this might not be jazzed (see what I did there?) for this film.
Michael Bay. Apart from this franchise, but also because of it, there are people out there who do not like Michael Bay’s films. Michael Bay has a distinct style, and as such, he is often the subject of numerous parodies and caricatures. He is often included in videos such as “What if (insert distinct director) directed this commercial?” wherein the video parodies directors such as M. Night Shyamalan, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Tony Scott, and Bay himself. Bay is notorious for being portrayed as a director who needs only copious amounts of hot women and big explosions to satisfy his own creative needs.
Why you should be excited for it:
Michael Bay. First of all, even if you believe that Bay is merely the one-dimensional human being described above, you must admit that no one does it like him. That being said, Bay is more than that. From what I’ve seen, Bay is a perfectionist who works very hard to make his movies entertaining and cohesive. I enjoy Michael Bay’s films for what they are and I am never disappointed. Face it, the reason you’re seeing this movie is to watch giant robots fight each other and blow stuff up. No one could accomplish this better than Michael Bay. He has my full support as a director.
Megan Fox is gone. Personally, I had no problem with Megan Fox, but a lot of people (even those who like the films) did. Following some below-the-belt personal shots at Michael Bay, Fox was fired by Paramount and replaced. Bet she didn’t see that coming. So for all those who did not like her character, her acting, or her character’s lack of relevance or importance to the overall story, fear not. This has changed. Her replacement is an English model and first-time actress named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who was picked above all other actresses for a reason. But honestly, is Sam’s love interest really going to affect the story as a whole?
It’s Transformers!!! For the third and final time, we can see the Autobots fight the Decepticons, complete with mid-air transformations and fight sequences. The fights were great in Transformers, and say what you will about Revenge of the Fallen, but the action sequences were amazing in that movie. It’s only logical that Dark of the Moon would go even bigger with the action, and that’s why the movie will receive my full-price admission.
This movie is going to be awesome.
