I'm a big fan of the original blah blah....... Make no mistake - as per the first two Bay-Em-ups, this is not G1 Cartoon - and why should it be? I loved the originals, the comics, the books, the toys – I'm 31 and lived through it all in the 80's. I don't consider myself a fan-boy, but I would have liked things to have been a little closer to the cartoon/toys. Michael Bay has access to cutting edge 3D and CGI tech, and all of the latest military hardware on tap to make this a massive summer blockbuster - and for me, it did not disappoint. Importantly the errors from the second film have been eradicated, Yes - a few clichés may be in there, and a couple of superfluous characters, and it may not be intellectually challenging (Just in case you were wondering – some reviewers have scored it on this basis) - but who cares? It's not an Intellectual subject matter...... Alien Robots have a war on earth....... enough said. Do I want to see Optimus with his trailer?......yes. Do I want to see massive robots smackdowns?...........yes. The fit new bird in tight her panties and tight fitting dresses?.....er - hell yes! Lots of awesome supercars?... of course, and what about a bunch of army dudes with flying squirrel suits being chased by a Decepticon and then smashing the sh@t out of it when the all crash land???......your damn right I do!! And that my friends, is exactly what this film delivered - lots of cool 'laugh out loud - it's that amazing, action stuff!' There is bit of light relief from silly (but still amusing) small robots and Sam's parents again, but nowhere near as much as previous - and thank god - no Jive Talking Autobots!. Turturro is funny as hell – and so are John Malkovich's teeth! I didn't want to see this film, as I was disappointed by the second film. But this is awesome!! Best of the three by a country mile! In fact, I honestly can't think of a better big budget sci-fi actioner. The 3D is amazing too! Seriously guys – Don't believe the negatives!
