Transformers 3 Review 6/10

I know... technically this is cheating as it's neither masterchef or chai lattes- but, thats ok!

Not sure how many of you are Transformers fans, but I'll have to warn you. There are slight spoilers ahead (not big plot reveals, but slight spoilers) 

iheartchai reviews Transformers:


I did enjoy the first movie, but it seems to have gone downhill since unfortunately : <.

The movie felt like 3 hrs of shinies (which i normally like) and product placements. You had 3 seconds of screen time going to the Head of National security changing into Nike shoes, Decepticons and Autobots changing into Panasonic TVs, Sony Vaios and the Mercedes SLR. Vossa Water in convenient camera angles and Double A paper flying everywhere.
Rosie did her part of selling too with lots of screen time. I'm sure Megan Fox won't be pleased.

Amongst all the selling of shiny cars and Victoria Secret models, there just wasn't enough space for story line, plot, character development and most importantly - Transformers.
What made the first movie so great was the introduction of the bots and awesome special effects. There were new concepts, new characters, everything was fantastically new and it took a whole movie to take a bot down. Transformers 3 however did not deliver in this area, and big bad decepticons take a few minutes to take down.

Oh and apparently Accountants are evil.

In summary people who like shiny cars, lots of special effects, victoria secret models and hate Patrick Dempsey might enjoy this.
People going in to see a movie *about* Transformers might not enjoy this.

Pic included, it would have been great to see a female autobot.
It was also a bad attempt at drawing Rosie, but that’s ok.
I also can't draw droids/robot things, but that’s ok too.


>>Will review movies badly and draw for clicks! if you'd like to show some heart to a graphic design student click on the ads on your way out : )! It'd be much appreciated!
