Should you go see Michael Bay
I loved it – nearly all of it. The only part I really didn’t like was replacing Miss Fox with a Victoria Secret model (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). I am glad they replaced Fox (she had little acting ability and was merely eye-candy for the male movie-goer) but this new gal is vacuous (at best). I did enjoy the inside jokes made at the expense of Fox, she really shot herself in the foot by giving up this franchise (the only movies she has been in which made money). Considering Bay has made several movies with strong females (see any Pirate movie) I cannot understand why he seems incapable in this franchise. I don’t care if the character is beautiful but I do care if she is an idiot. Oh, continuity issue…as she runs through Chicago
Regardless - the movie is cool, awesome, tubular (what other 80’s slang can I fit in), like totally awesome. Yes, the movie is 2 hours and 40 minutes, but there was so much action I did not notice. There are insane special effect, non-stop action, and a lesson to be learned (in between explosions). As with the other movies, conspiracy nuts will find much to enjoy. This time the government conspiracy is the real reason for the race to the moon in the 1960s and what we really found on the dark side of the moon. There are so many inside jokes – especially Spock and Star Trek references. .
We have our favorite cast of characters – including Optimus Prime, BumbleBee and Megatron. We have Shia LeBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, and Tyrese Gibson all returning. The cast’s prestige bumps up with such notables as Leonard Nimoy, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, and Patrick Dempsey. Plus cameos by Buzz Aldrin and Bill O'Reilly.
I would recommend this movie for anyone over 13 who likes action movies, comic books, or sci fi J
