He's gotten a lot of flack in his previous 'two films for the fight scenes just looking like unorganized clashes clash-es of metal. Also on the upside, he proved just how irrelevant Megan Me-gan Fox was to the series as he replaced her with equally irrelevant irrel-evant Victoria Secret bombshell Rosie Whiteley. But on the downside, he thinks his movies matter much more than they do and has decided, once again, to wear out his welcome with another an-other al most-three-hour film. He also miscast Patrick Dempsey as the film's villain. Dempsey as the bad guy is about as scary as it would be to find one of the Smurf 's burglarizing burglar-izing your house. In spite of all this negativity negativ-ity I'm putting out though, it's ironic how easy it is to actually ignore all of these and other holes in Bay's movies. The dude creates a finished product that is extraordinarily entertaining, entertain-ing, and just like last summer's "Piranha 3D," you find yourself brimming with silly satisfaction at the end result. Content: Rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence, language and mild sensuality. Other Opinions: 46.601 "Average Joes" give "Transformers: "Trans-formers: Dark of the Moon" a rating of 6.7 out of 10 while 227 professional film critics give it an average score of 36 percent out of 100 percent.

Let's face it people, Director Direc-tor Michael Bay may be the king of one box office smash after another, but he does not strive to make movies that matter. mat-ter. And when you get right down to it, a film that is based on a child's action figure is not striving to inspire you very much. He simply knows how to introduce hot women to the big screen, overload you with CGI, and blow things up. Yet, in spite of his threadbare thread-bare plots and downright silly scripts, he gets all of us (including (includ-ing me) pumped up about the idea of his latest "masterpiece" to the point where we are willing will-ing to scurry on down to the local lo-cal theatre and flash our plastic. Transformers 3 doesn't disappoint dis-appoint in the special effects department, de-partment, the action sequences, or in overall entertainment value. val-ue.
