I haven't written a review on this movie because a part of me was avoiding it. Is one of those completely predictable movies, supported only by amazing sound and visual effects. But the thing is, that with this one, is the third time we see that.
On the top of it, there's a weak script and a two and a half hour movie. Which exceds the patience capacity on one's expectatives, particularly because the plot is neither complicated or dense. And yes, Megatron is back for the third time.
Shia LeBeuf is charismatic and fun, which probably keeps dragging people to the theater; but the screenplay is plain and Optimus Prime speech begins sounding exaclty the same every time: "And our races will fight for a better future.. together". Or something pretty similar.
I admire Michael Bay's capacity on transmitting so much grandiloquence and also, of manufacturing movies of this caliber so quickly. But his weakness lies on the comparison: Nowadays is common to watch action movies accompanied of scripts so much more propositive and solid than this one (Ironman and The dark knight are good examples). Here, it wasn't enough to have Frances McDormand and John Malkovich -both in overacted performances-, or the visual impact brought by Patrick Dempsey and model Rosie Huntington (this one ends harmless after a huge battle). In a few words, is a film suitable to authentic Transformers fans or for those who won't miss the spectacular effects it has. Besides it, it has more form than function.
