<em>'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'</em> is an absolute drag. The ending felt like it took hours to complete, then to make it worse (what am I chatting, more like better) it just ends on a dime without any true reaction to the mass brawl that had ensued. Bit abrupt, I thought.
A lot of what I can say about this could be taken from my review of the preceding <em>'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'</em>, just a little bit more definitive and debilitating. I'm all for full action only, I literally love <em>'Fast & Furious'</em>, but even I need some characters to connect with so I can forge a desire to watch 'em - no-one here gives me that.
The cast, if only on paper, is more interesting to look at, mind you. I wasn't expecting to see John Malkovich and Frances McDormand appear, the former's part fits fairly well in fairness but the latter is incredibly wasted with a rubbish character. Tyrese Gibson (eventually) features more, something I did actually wish for in the 2009 predecessor.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has a slightly better character to portray, at least when compared to what Megan Fox had to work with. Elsewhere, Ken Jeong is genuinely good in this - in fact, I'd say he is responsible for any pleasant reactions that I got during this movie, funny guy.
I just caught a glimpse of the box office takings... $1.124 billion?! Bloody hell. I'm now curious to see if that translated into a positive reception from websites like this. (<i>edit: not really, but it evidently won over the average moviegoer though, so fair enough)</i>.
If only you could see my face when I realised that the next installment goes on for even closer to three (!) hours. I best load up on the snacks! Hey, who knows, maybe <em>'Transformers: Age of Extinction'</em> is the <em>'Fast Five'</em> of this franchise? <i>*nervous chuckle*</i>
