Movies in the 21st Century: Transformers 3

After Paramount fired Megan Fox, everyone was wondering how Transformers 3 will deliver without her.  Many expected this movie to not hold a candle to the first movie like the second one did, but some were also pleasantly surprised.

The story picks up after 2 when Sam is out of college and looking for a job.  He has a new girlfriend he is living with, who is acted by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and suffers through living life as a regular person after saving the world twice.  While Megatron is still out and about, a disturbing secret behind the moon landing came out as soon as the Autobots find evidence of an object that is able to connect a portal bridge that was found in a mission in Russia.  The Autobots go to the moon to find another Prime asleep for years when he should have been sent on a cargo to Cybertron during the war against the Decepticons.

Many big name actors are in this movie compared to previous installments such as John Malkovich and Alan Tudyk.  During the first half of the movie, it was a straight up comedy.  Many of the scenes were brillantly written while some of the humor was just downright odd.  But when the second half rolls around, it turns into a huge bash of robot killing and an apocalyptic Chicago. 

Overall many viewers were not interested in seeing this movie because of the failed expectations of the sequel.  But still sales are going well and so far but the movie has been given average grades.  For those of you who are interested in humor, semi-brainless action, and seeing other reoccuring characters such as Starscream from the original show, this might be in your best interest to see how this ends.  While the ending gave closure, it does leave an opening for another movie to possibly be made.
