Slow dull "classical" 1980's style movie

2 stars of 5 for this slow dull "classical" 1980's style movie. This movie has a young Jason Bateman in the lead. Very very very slow and dull with a few moments of bad 1980's style music. To our relief the background music (which is very annoying) is kept to a minimum. Though it attempts to be an action/suspense movie, it achieves neither. I'd suggest skipping this movie.

It was "ok" but I won't watch it again

I watched this last night. And I don't remember enough of it to give it a indepth review. But it wasn't as bad as people are letting on nor was it as great as people are letting on. If you don't like your killer to be supernatural then don't bother with this. Its about a guy that comes back from the dead. His whole storyline is kinda silly and there are plot holes all over the place. The acting wasn't bad at all, and neither were the deaths. In fact it was kinda gory. But that doesn't make a great movie. The flashbacks were a little confusing as well. I wouldn't watch it again. But its far from the worst movie I've seen.

Needed a Face Lift

This film seemed to have a bit of potential at first. It was obvious it was going to be a rehash of a lot of the old Leatherface clichés, but Nikki DeLoach's good humor was infectious and the couple launching off on their new life in the isolated old house was likeable. So I was ready to overlook the townsfolk with secret knowledge of the house's dangerous past - the gathering of frolicsome young people at the house, ready to be picked off by the killer while they were in the act - and all the other formulaic plot elements that the "Scream" series does such a good job satirizing.But then things got really dreary. Leatherface, Michael Myers, and all the other killers in that tradition might have seemed almost superhuman in their ability to rebound. But the key word with them was "almost." They might be inexorable, but it was still possible, however remotely, that they could be representing real people. A viewer could justify the time spent watching these films with the "based on a true story" rationale. After all, Ed Gein was a real person who really did drape himself in human skin.But the killer in this film seems to rise from the dead. He emerges from a mishmash of supernatural shenanigans. So there's no way I could feel I might learn anything about the heart of true evil by watching this film. And so it lost me."Mask Maker" is well-photographed and has a few scary moments. But over all, it's a false-face.

Kiosk Rating <1

Positives:None that I can think of. Really, I'm trying.Negatives:(1.) Cheap, e.g. starting with no subtitles or special features. Acting experience/filmography for the most part consists of shorts, TV videos which is typical of cheap and quick almost made for TV productions. Cheap costume store style face masks and usual cheap knife/hatchet effects stabbings.(2.) Not creative (you've seen this storyline so many times), time worn college students in a remote farm. The usual Native burial (never explained why) and the usual some sort of illicit child grows up to cause some bodily harm to some really dumb acting students. The usual towns folk have a secret about the previous occupant of the farm house which was, thinking she was a witch, they killed her with a Native spear (never explained why). One person survives, as usual, and we think the bad grown up child person is dead - but not really. Time for a cheap money making sequel.(3.) The face mask has been done before and is anatomically/physically impossible for a variety of reasons so it loses some credibility points there. Besides they were't even scary. Unlike the superior SAW they didn't even bother to show much other than one time pulling a rubber mask off of a person to make it look like it was real.

MASK OF FAMILIARITY

MASK MAKER takes us down a cinematic path often traveled and does it in a typically predictable fashion. A story of revenge with an unstoppable killer who murders his victims and uses their skinned faces to achieve some kind of beauty. Flashbacks reveal his motivation in an attempt to elicit some level of sympathy.MASK MAKER isn't the worst entry in this familiar territory but it doesn't tread new waters either. The cast performs on various levels of competence. WEEKEND AT BERNIE's Terry Kiser is an effective guilt-ridden buffoon. Treat Williams is ill-used in a cameo role. Horror vet Michael Berryman is unusually restrained in a small role. Nikki Deloach is no Jamie Lee Curtis in her leading role, giving a weak performance in a typical survivor role as the resilient resourceful female. Doomed fiance Stephen Colletti (sic) is equally flaccid.An open-ended finale paves the way for MASK MAKER II---something we definitely don't need.

Unmasked..................

Sadly, there is absolutely nothing original in this movie. The filmmakers shamelessly borrowed from practically everyone, turning out a stale formula piece that is purely by the numbers. I couldn't find a thing that elevated this movie above a 100 other like films. The plot is standard: a group of kids spend the weekend at an old house with a bad history. A standard, run of the mill maniac kills them in unimaginative ways and of course no one notices until it's too late. Everything happens exactly on cue, in order, with no surprises, and no frights. This movie is safe and boring, it really couldn't have been any better if it tried. Not even the brief appearance of horror icon Michael Berryman (playing a nice guy for a change) can help the dullness of the script.Even the title is a misnomer! Although the original title, Maskerade, isn't any better.And I had such high hopes as this is one of my favorite genres.

Horrible

This movie was horrible. It did not play right when I was watching it online. I liked how it went by old vampire styles. Such as crosses worked and you had to invite them in and such. But the ending was really bad. Do not waste your money on this one. Also the storyline did not really make much sense.

Spun Out

The best things about this heavily formula vehicle are (1) Elvis' opening production numbers (including a nicely staged "Adam And Evil"); (2) Deborah Walley's "girl drummer" role; (3) the Deusenberg; and (4) Elvis' closing production number, the medium walking blues "I'll Be Back". Everything else is redundant.

The Road To Love Is Full Of Danger Signs...

Three lovely young ladies all want Elvis' gearstick in this craptastic musical comedy that's so bad it ROCKS! I just love the title song sequence where Les and the guys 'provide' Elvis with "...lots and lots of girls." And who was that chick, the blonde with the short cropped hair who literally shoves all the other chikadees aside to get up and spinout with the King? She looks like she's out to prove she can really score, and I never saw parts move like that before! Elvis looks embarrassed. Anyway, after you've crossed those double lines and Spinout you will want to do so again and again and again. Simply awful, but I mean that in a great way.

Not the worst, but far from good

This film has the dubious honor to be included in the book "The 50 worst films of all time". It is definently not one of those, but one can hardly call it a proper film, either. It is rather a loose framework in which 12 new songs could be presented in a more or less natural manner. A great-great-grandfather of music videos, and better than some of those!

Presley's Worst Film

"Spinout" (1966) represents the nadir of Elvis Cinema - a bad sitcom without the laugh track. The only redeeming features are a few memorable songs, such as "I'll Be Back" and "Stop, Look and Listen." Buy the soundtrack and skip the movie.

The music's better than the movie

SPINOUT is another hard movie to sit through, thanks to the weak dialogue and even weaker storyline.Elvis plays a singing race car driver (for the second time), who is being chased by three women. These include a spoiled brat (Shelley Fabares), an erotic author (Diane McBain), and his own drummer (Deborah Walley).The music is actually listenable in this picture. Highlights include "Stop, Look, and Listen" and "I'll Be Back".Elvis appears to be sleepwalking through this one. His appearance is also disturbing: slightly overweight and his hair looks like a big black ball on his head.Again, not QUITE the worst, but far from the best. Buy something more worthwhile first.

NOT A GOOD SPIN FOR PRESLEY

This is not Presley's best vehicle but by this outing he was not being allowed to act anyway so he appears to be just going though the motions. The movie songs are not a real treat either, he seems to be singing to everyone including his enemies. (Where does the music come from when he sings anyway). When asked to do this movie Presley should have "JUST SAID NO"!!!

This film tried to capitalized on the previously successful Legend of Boggy Creek, and failed horribly. It's nothing but a boring home movie. Other than a shot of someone prancing around a forest in a gorilla suit, the film has no perks whatsoever. Strongly not recommended.

It's worse than the Iron Man series

I saw this anime and I thought it's better than the X-Men series, but worse than Iron Man series. This series would only be good if you're a little boy or girl, but nothing more than Wolverine on his useless quest to save the woman he loves. Pretty much you can apply this story for any character and use it. It doesn't really need to be Wolverine. For example, you can put Iron Man in this series and use him instead and there's no difference. But hey, they used Wolverine so I guess this is the guy, they want to use, so let's move on.The whole series is about Wolverine meeting a girl and she gets taken away from a mystery foe. He goes off trying to find her. He then learns who did it, Shingen, the main foe, and also the father of Wolverine love. Wolverine meets people on his quest to save his love. These people either want to help him or fight him. Wolverine also gets a partner, Yuiko, who they have a common gold to take down Shingen.What I like about the show is the animation. All the Japanese animation is great for every Marvel series there's no question about that. I liked the music as well, not over the top but fits in the story. What the series lacks is the story. I really didn't care for it. Just Wolverine in every show made out to be a dumb tough guy with no brains and all brawn. In every show he has to show he is one toughest dude there, but also the dumbest too. He never backs down on anything and always be so arrogant and pig headed. This bit gets so old so fast!I also didn't like this Wolverine look for this show. I prefer the X-Men Wolverine look. In this show he looks like a slim out Japanese guy and is wearing stylish clothes. That's Wolverine? I hardly recognized the guy. Well....when Wolverine goes to Japan - he went all out! To me, it just doesn't fit his nature. On how this shows, he just looks way too different and a total opposite of what he should be.-------Spoilers Alert---------For some strange reason, in all the Japanese Marvel series they have someone dying in their series. Well, this series is no different. Guess who? All the main characters are dead at the end of the series. Literally there no one left but Wolverine. This series is such a waste of time getting to know everyone to find out that they are all dead at the end; good guys or bad guys, it just doesn't matter in Japanese Marvel! They will all die!So, Wolverine worked so hard to find and save his love that she gets killed at the end. Everyone that helped him are dead. The villains are dead too. Now, Wolverine can go back home to America and never look back because there's no one to look back at him. No need for a second series and if they have one, I won't need to watch it.

Very poor vision of Wolverine

I have seen an episode of this show and all I could say is WOW, what a travesty. This show is completely not Wolverine. First Logan is Canadian not Japanese, short not tall, older looks middle aged even though much older not like a teenager. Voice acting is poor. This show is the William Shatner of Wolverine, extreme over acting and over dramatized action sequences. This is supposed to be Marvel Comics Wolverine not a Wolverine DragonBall Z. If they want to make a good Wolverine Cartoon keep it on par with the comics both in the character models and story, and use voice actors that have worked in the past, and if you really want to do Wolverine Justice make it a Mature rated cartoon and show Blood in the battles.

Waste of time.

I bought this video while thinking to myself, "hot chicks beating the crap out of each other, sweet". Well, none of these things turned out to be the case. The chicks aren't hot, in fact one either used to be a man, or still is a man. The violence is limp to say the least. Imagine an episode of cops where neighbors at the trailer park are in a domestic disturbance. The problem is that the girls aren't athletes, nor do they seem to care much if they win. Stay away, this is just some dude with a camcorder attempting to get you to part with your money.

Well, it's alright, and it plays off some pretty stupid principles....

Spoiler Alert!!!! Why did Ashley die? To give us scenes in which the male characters, highly testosterone driven all, could actually show emotion. Aah, women are so useful in this context...there is no other reasonable, feasible reason for her death. A WAAAY too obvious dramatic vehicle. While this video has a reasonable premise, ALWAYS, stupidity reigns. If all ten characters can exit the safety of the vehicle, instead of one or two, well by all means, let's have all ten do it. If caution and normal intelligence would predict one course of action...well, by all means,let us take whatever other course of action is available. So despite some of the characters purported survival for three months or more, what we have is a group of characters behaving badly....acting like 15 or 16 year olds, despite their obvious maturity...an interesting story line, interesting characters, fairly well acted, yet the stupid script drives it ALL way downtown...and that is unfortunate. And come on! Some of the bites...as in "Have to Bite the Lesbian"...never mind the aggessive black woman who loves her white woman must DIE...this is just stupid! A woman that aware could NEVER be sneaked upon by a zombie...please! IF you must portray both homophobia and racism, PLEASE!!! Kill the eternally stupid white boys first.

Probably the Worst Movie I've Ever Seen

I have a relatively high tolerance level for bad flicks, but this one is beyond tolerable. If you check the credits after the movie it appears as if the producer hired his family and friends as the actors. Summary (no pun intended): Horrific acting (I could have acted those scenes better than the so called actors; Frightful script (who talks like that anyway "The zombies are breaching our stronghold, I would advise that we seek an alternative egress route in order to address the impending conflict"; Brain Blending effects: Nothing like a karate kick to the face that missed by about 6 inches yet knocks the zombie through the window. My review is more interesting than this movie. Give me a camcorder and an Amazon makeup kit (shameless plug) and I could have done this movie. There is nothing redeeming about this... NOTHING!

You figure zombie movies have been out for at least 20 years and to this date we still can't produce a low budget zombie movie with better actors. The dialogue was good the presentation sucked. it was like they were reading the dialogue instead of experiencing it. The plot was good as well. This movie had all the elements of a well made zombie flick but no one was chomped only the token Lesbian Black chick. Good try but I wanted more.

Can I get a refund for my time spent watching this?

It's a low budget indie film-what did you expect? If you are a collector of zombie movies or low budget indie films you may or may not want to waste your money on this one. Keep in mind that the music is a bit funky(reminded me of 70's porn) as well as the acting, editing and directing. The concept is typical "zombie-like" with nothing new,the writing (if that's what you want to call it) is basic storyline with no real character development and the zombies are laughable with less than spectacular death scenes.Storyline is as follows: people mysteriously turn into zombies on an island, there are a handful of survivors (you know, 1 old guy, 1 smart guy, 1 hot guy, 1 bimbo,1 ugly woman, 2 lesbians, 1 token black guy and 2 orphaned kids), they run from place to place, some get eaten, some do not, they are tricked by some "bad guys" promising safe harbor and then hijacked for their food only to be killed by their own zombies, they get away but no one cares because there is no character development and at this point you want them ALL to be eaten anyway just to end the movie, but of course,most escape only to drive from place to place once again and blah, blah, blah...Maybe there will be a sequal? Oh boy!

The Toxic Avenger 4

When he is unable to diffuse a bomb from destroying Tromaville's school for the gifted, Toxie is sent spiraling into a bizarro universe, where his evil doppelganger rules the crime-ridden town of Amortville. Meanwhile, The Noxious Offender has taken his place back in Tromaville, where he begins to spread his vile hate and corruption. How will Toxie ever get home to stop this terrible new threat? After two lackluster sequels, Lloyd Kaufman returns with what he claims to be the one true sequel to the 80's cult-classic THE TOXIC AVENGER, and depending on your personal taste, this will be either the best or the worst film you have ever seen in your entire life. We, for one, side with the latter. THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV: CITIZEN TOXIE is one of the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity. It is s*** smeared on 108-minutes of celluloid waste. Kaufman needs to return the script to the group of immature high school freshman that wrote it and demand his $15 back. To quote BILLY MADISON: "What you've just [made] is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever [seen]. At no point in your rambling, incoherent [film] were you even close to anything that could be considered [art]. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having [watched] it." With the cunning humor far removed, the only thing that links THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV to the original (besides a few measly cameos) is the absurd amount of splatter. If you enjoy movies that are drenched in rancid feces, semen, and stupidity, look no further! THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV will meet all of your delicate sensibilities, and more!-Carl ManesI Like Horror Movies

Beyond reproach, even for Troma

I love the Toxic avenger. I found the original to be a classic example of how to make a fun, clever and extremely gory laugh fest on a shoestring budget. I actually own the film on dvd. And, yes, I am aware that Troma is not the place to go if you're looking for class or fine art. This is a company that deliberately panders to the basest impulses of the filmgoing experience- sort of the home video version of "grindhouse cinema". But this time they've gone too far. Billed as the "real" sequel to the original film, "Citizen Toxie" manages to be boring, disgusting, loathsome, cheap ( I'm not kidding..even by Troma's low standards the effects are just awful in this film...and Toxie's makeup is the worst in the series..so bad that the design of this character from the original film looks oscar-worthy by comparison) and unredeemingly brazen as it revels in the most disgusting images put to film since "Pink Flamingoes". The "plot" involves Toxie being transported to an alternate dimension where everything is evil, while at the same time an evil Toxie from said dimension pops up in our world to terrorize Tromaville. I am a guy who can usually laugh off any image a movie has to throw at me, but this flick had moments that honestly made me sick. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one like the plague that it is. You'd be better of just watching the original again. Way to corrupt your one legitmately interesting franchise, Troma. If this is your idea of stellar entertainment, your day has definitely passed.

It's Bad When Ron Jeremy Provides The Taste And Decorum

This film was sent to me by a friend who also appreciates movies so bad they're good. At the end of the day though, this movie is so bad it's, well, bad. I love grade-Z cinema as much as the next person, although I am not amazingly fond of pointless gore (that's problem number one in this case), but the real problem here is that Lloyd Kaufman has taken what had the potential to be an amusing premise at the beginning of the series and gone out of his way to attempt to offend everyone. He does so, but mostly because of his lame attempts at satire. Question: is it absolutely hilarious to mock and parody brilliant theoretical physicist Steven Hawking? Apparently Kaufman thinks so, although I don't know anybody else who does. Likewise the premise of the "Diaper Mafia" taking over the "Tromaville School for the Very Special" leaves something to be desired in the taste department. I will skip the details of the extreme requisite flatulence, blind girlfriend forced lesbianism (with translator), and inter-uterine evil-twin mop fight, and just suffice it to say that at no time did this film rise from the gutter to attempt humor: in the gutter is where it should stay.I love bad movies, I love parodies, and I love satire, but this film fails on more levels than most other films even attempt. Like I said in the title, when Ron Jeremy provides the taste, refinement, and decorum in a movie, you know there is a flaw in the film.In attempting to be fair to the film I will say that people who actually do like the movie (for whatever reason) will love this packaging. There are multiple audio commentaries, a 95 minute long (it seems like forever) "making of" feature, outtakes, behind the scenes stuff, etc. The whole thing takes two DVDs, and in this case I can definitely say that the extras are more enjoyable viewing than the feature.The premise of Toxie having an evil twin ("The Noxious Offender", or "Noxie") is actually a good one. This could have been a good B-movie satire; it's a shame that it became a cheap exploitation piece, and an un-funny one at that.

The filmakers trying so hard to be shocking they forget to give this flick anything that a decent human being could find enjoyable.

Plot? What Plot?

The usual action scenes, but ridiculous plot holes. The vast majority of the plot points made no sense whatsoever, I think Michael Bay is trying to make the worst possible movie that still makes millions of dollars.

Just Not Worthwhile

I wish I hadn't spent the money . . .It follows in the same style as the other two Transformers movies, but it turns the formula up a bit. There's more action and more bickering between characters, but plot, story and character development, drama, and any semblance of intelligence are sacrificed for it.Yes, the special effects are cool, but the dialog and interaction between characters is downright painful, which kept suspension of disbelief from kicking in.If I had it to do over again, I'd rent this one.

Absolute trash.

I went into this movie hoping it could be better than TF2. It is, but not by much. I'm going to be honest. I think Transformers 2 is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I don't know why I saw the 3rd one, but the Chicago part looked interesting. Little did I know it would take 2 long boring hours to get that part. On top of that. It wasn't even that impressive. I hate Shia's parents. I hate his new girlfriend. I hate Michael Bay humor. I hate this movie and I hate the fact I spent 12 bucks to go see it. I don't think Michael Bay understand that everything gets boring without a plot or some kind of tension going on. It's so BORING. I literally sat in the theater hoping it was over only to look at my watch and see that only 10 minutes had passed.

Wait for Special Edition

I made the mistake of buying this version. But luckily I didn't open it once I got home, so I was able to return it today. I'm not going to fall for the same money trap again(Avatar). I'll just wait a few months and get the Special Edition one with all the extra features.Now me just ranting here for a bit. But what the hell Paramount, I know times are tough for everyone but do you have to do this to us. Trying to rip off the loyal customers is not good business.

Disappointed to say the least

First off, DIE HARD Transformers fan.First transformers movie from a character development, plot, story telling and CGI standpoint one of the best movies in last 10 years for the genre.Second one lacked many of those facets as the first had, but still produced a quality albeit flawed story. Plus the action was better.Third one lacked nearly any character development, story was poorly told with huge plot holes within the movie itself (not to mention tying any consistency with the previous two).The action scene was almost to long while being non-linear and really not very epic. Basically you sit through an hour and half of some comedic wit, tons of useless cameos, and watch Sam whine about how much his life sucks. Also Michael Bay fails miserably in replacing Megan Fox. I am not a huge fan of her as an actress but I found myself rooting for the decepticons to kill her replacement off often but to no avail.Finally "Spoiler alert"We are to believe that this advanced alien race takes over the city of Chicago, and the primary reason they do this is to enslave mankind to rebuild their home world. Yet in order to do this they go on a killing spree reminiscent of Mars Attacks on the city. I don't know about you, but if the Egyptians had vaporized their slaves those pyramids would not have been built as quick... Then we are forced to watch a movie called "Transformers" show us the epic struggle of mankind for another 30 minutes while a building is falling (physics and common sense aside). Finally to have mankind's struggle really mean nothing when Optimus just owns everyone with a splash of help from Megatron. Then the movie just ends... Thats it, no closure, don't bother to tie any plot strings together let alone insert a plot.I give the movie 2 stars to be generous because as I said, I am a Die Hard Transformers fan. But this movie was a greater disappointment then Green Latern and superman returns combined in my humble opinion.

Not as bad as the previous, but not all that great

One thing that baffles me, is how someone who was never a fan of the original cartoon and an almost 70 year old producer are somehow qualified to revamp a franchise and cater it to the same kids-now adults that will wonder if they ever watched the series, researched the series or have a clue as to why kids liked it in the first place. Somehow I can't find the answer and that has been the biggest problem with this franchise. Besides Prime, nothing is relatable to the original series to tie these same adults to it in a manner that will have longevity. Basically they got it wrong, when sometimes people get it right and satisfy the youth locked into the 20-30 something adult much like some goof-off movie like Fanboys or recently Iron Man. Still, all nostalgia aside even as a casual fan, the last two movie totally sucked. The story's were lame and the dialogue was horrible and almost embarrassing, I would never tell someone to watch it out of feeling shame when they thought it sucked.I walked into this movie expecting it to be worse, as usually the middle act of a trilogy is the best and thus I had no inclination that this could be drug out of the gutter. I was surprised. The movie still suffers from the usual nonsense however. Steven Spielberg has this penchant for always adding wise cracking "Gremlin" style characters to his movies and they are in abundance here. Laserbeak looks like a robotic reject puppet part from the movie "The Dark Crystal" without the puppet cast and has the most annoying, cliche' 80's sultress cartoon voice. Imagine a evil female villian from any Disney film and there you go. These characters use social dialogue which will only date a film years past and are annoying in present day as it is, adding horrible top 40 music doesn't help either. How can I get into a movie with that girlie guy from American Idol singing in the background, its impossible. The script is a little better this time around but for a movie targeted at kids and to sell kids toys and other stuff, its laced with adult themes and slander. I would not take a child to this movie under 10, maybe 13. When gremlin mini robot says "this is a cluster" at which time the scene changes everyone knows what they are implying. So whats the point of that? To be clever? This movie is dumbed down like a comedy, but uses adult themes like a drama, but has hardcore action scenes like a "R" action movie, autobots getting their heads blown off execution style. Who is this catered too? Kids? Adults? Again I am lost. The action scenes were well done, way better than the previous films inwhich the director is so impressed with the CGI that they slow it down and ram it down your throats while ignoring the reason they are in the scene to begin with. I once knew someone that said they thought it was awesome because the affects were so neat. Thats a sad thing to say about a movie. This time they ace all the close-ups of the gears and constant motion and use longer shots and more character driven scenes, such as between Bumblebee and that kid who isn't called Spike. There are some throwbacks in this film, unlike the others that avoided them. Megatron is still nothing like the character people rememeber. They debut Shockwave but give no explaination of where he came from, however he is at least similar to the origianl. They break out a new "Prime" using Leonard Nimoy, who voiced Galvatron in the animated cult classic. He is moreless Ronimus Prime gone bad. The movie imploys the storyline losely of the episode "The Ultimate Doom" from the 84 season. Bringing Cybertron to earth. Cybertron by the way is a desolate shell of a planet with no life...why bring it to Earth via a space bridge is never explained. Another thing never explained is how this kid picks up hot chicks like his love interest. That is more unbelievable that anything in the movie.

Forrest Gump to Michael Bay: "Sometimes we do things that just don't make no sense"

Megatron was going after the Cube on earth AND meeting up with Spock (aka Sentinel) for making the ultimate bad-ass portal? How many other things will they tack on to that moment in history? Transformers 4 anyone?The Soviets took pictures in 1963 of the Pillars drag marks and stockpiled on the moon. Who were these Decepticons that did this and why didn't they attack Earth for resources if they had nothing else to do?Soviets never bothered to tell anyone about those early pictures they took? Sure would have been helpful to the Autobots years ago huh? Another story spoiler the writers couldn't afford.Sam's hot model girlfriend (who cares what her name is) has her opening scene showing a close-up of her perfect a_ss in panties. Can we get back to the robots now and schedule her p_orn movie later? -And let me know the title for that moviePoor Sam having it tough getting a job....that storyline took too long and got annoying fast.Sam just happens to get a job where one of the few human worshiper-spies for the Decepticons works? That sure was convenient. And what was up with that psycho Asian guy's attitude? Were they desperate for the underwear-disgusting, gay-like comedy?The Autobots revive Sentinel and speak to him in English when they try to calm him down. I sure hope he had been to earth in the past otherwise I can understand why he's so freaked out by the Autobots' voices.Sam's parents camp out near Sam's hot model girlfriend's house and give him woman advice....creepy.Sam tells his mom that his hot model girl is "the one". Really? If Mikaela dumped him after two big adventures and years together....how long can he last with a hot model who doesn't like him risking his life?Just after Sentinel reveals he's really with the Decepticons and all h_ell breaks loose and Ironhide is killed, Sam goes back to visit his folks to have the girlfriend chat to change the pace of the movie??I'm not sure which is worse: McDreamy as the traitorous bad guy, or Spock doing Sentinel's voice.The Autobots' ship is destroyed in true shuttle-Challenger-explosion fashion....double creepy.Sam can't shoot McDreamy from 10 feet away before getting b_itch-slapped? Of course not, we need McDreamy to turn the Pillar back on again later in the movie...and how did McDreamy know what to push?Sam basically ruins the Autobots desperately needed surprise attack with his bungled rescue of the hot model. Nothing like risking the fate of the world on a guy who's jealous-hot for a potential porn star and can't shoot a gun.They spent a lot of movie time with human strike teams trying to get close to the Trump building but never did...Optimus shot at it via Shockwave's gun. They could have made a mini-movie of the tipped-building scenes....and I have to say that was the toughest building to destroy I've ever seen.The humans did "deceptively" well battling Decepticons with assault rifles. Remember how Vortex (the Decepticon helicoptor) obliterated the military base in the first Transformers?Spock gives his Vulcan line for "The needs of the many outweigh...." - that was my first clue that the film hit rock bottom. There's already enough homage to Star Trek in this movie - don't mess with Star Trek II.I'm sure Spock's plan to enslave us little fragile humans to work on the huge Cybertron metal planet will work just fine......was I the only one skeptical about this the moment he said it?I'm also sure that bringing Cybertron into close proximity would have NO effect on the Earth.Hot model girl saves the world by using her feminine wiles on Megatron?? That was my second clue that the film hit rock bottom.Megatron can see Spock about to destroy Optimus, so he doesn't wait a few seconds first before shooting Spock? And then Optimus takes the opportunity to kill Megatron.....see Megaton, that's what you get.I was very happy that Optimus wasted no time killing Megatron and Spock....unlike Sam who when handed a pistol from Epps, grabs it like a little girl grabbing an icky worm with her fingers.The film apparently had very obvious product placements, but I was too busy trying to find reasons to like the movie to notice.What's the best parts?1. Opening scene on Cybertron.2. Whenever Optimus is fighting.3. Any scenes of the hot model in panties or sexy outfits. And to think, when she was a kid her classmates made fun of her big lips and no b_oobs....where are those loser classmates now?(It should be noted - the "Transporter" dude is bangin her now and he's 20 years older than her. Now that's a REAL hero.)

no speacial features

This is a good movie. Just stay away from this version. I was excited and bought it on release day only to find out that it is just the feature film. I was really disappointed. I would never have purchased this movie if I had known that it was the feature only. Yes, I know, in my excitement to get the movie, it was my own fault for not looking carefully at the back of the box, although, nowhere could I find that it says feature film only. I used to download movies illegally. I stopped and started buying them legit again because the special features are really enjoyable. When the companies charge full price for the feature only (which i can get from netflix anyway), I feel cheated. Maybe everyone should start downloading illegally and really send hollywood or whoever a message that if they want our hard earned money they need to work a little harder for it. This is just my rant.

Bogus - no special features - rent it, don't buy.

(SORRY...THIS IS FOR BLU-RAY, NOT AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO) Would have given 4 stars for the movie/blu-ray, but I was very disappointed there were no special features at all - not even notes. That's the main reason I like DVDs and blu-rays so much...for the special features that may contain commentary, interviews, behind the scenes and show how some of the FX were done - explosions and such. I'm sure they will release another version in the near future with the special features movie buffs enjoy and spend more cash$ Who the hell comes out with a new release Blu-ray in this day & age with ZERO special features??? DO NOT BUY - RENT FROM RED BOX.

Ok so I heard that this was better than the last Transformers (didn't see that one), so I thought it must be ok. It's got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Horrible acting, not sure why Shia LaBeouf is an actor...think Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck, but without the charisma. If you are into cartoons,explosions and superficial story telling then it might be palatable for you....otherwise you'd be better off watching the grass grow.

Love 3D hate the Price.

who is on crack that they think any movie is worth 42 dollars 3D or not. This is just another scam like with cell companies and internet providers charging for data like there is some limited amount that isnt self imposed. The technology is not so overwhelming in RD to cost 4 times that of dvd and twice that of blu ray.Dont get me wrong love 3D and this was one of the best 3D movies I have seen but honestly 42 dollars just is taking advantage of consumers in a market that has no where else to go. If this disk was 30 bucks Id by it hesitantly but thats the problem with blu ray they charge way to much for the theatre experience. Sad too cause this movie and captain america are ones i would have bought but i refuse to let them think this is a good going price for the gimmick.

They rushed this out to trick us all. This is worth 5$ not 20$! For 20$ I bought the extended edition blu ray/DVD combo edition of suckerpunch and it came with over 4 hours of extras! WAIT FOR THE BETTER VERISON! THIS MOVIE IS SO INCREDIBLE save your money and wait to see it with the extras! trust me!!! I returned this the day I got it, and will be saving up for the deluxe edition and maybe even the box set with tons of extras!

Worst movie of the year so far...

I had heard that the movie was bad before going in,but I was surprised to know just how bad.The first few minutes were interesting. The 3D was good and the story was entertaining. And I pitied Bay when Sam wasn't able to find a job. People have said that Bay was sad after people hated Falled so much,and so he tried to make Sam feal like him. Why is Bay so greedy for money anyway? He shouldn't have made this one,it is horrible to say that Megan Fox's character dumped Sam. After all they have been through??? I mean seriously! Can you imagine going back to watch the first two where the relationship was built knowing that it would be torn dow in the third?But then it transformed faster than Magatron can into a comedy which can be compared to the Muppets. The jokes are insane and sick. I was surprised and started to worry that the whole movie would be like that.Nope. Then came part two. Optimus Prime allows an ENTIRE city of people to die just to prove a point.Then comes part three. BOOM! SMASH! PUNCH! BOOM! SMASH! PUNCH!,wait a moment,I thought I just watched that! It went on forever! There was a moment where I was just sitting there staring at the screen and allowing my attention to wander. I was just waiting for it to end...And then it did end:The battle was all too fast and short.

TransAmers: Darkside of the Moon bluray is worthless plea for common sense

There's just no point to it. The movie sucks, it's pure garbage. The bluray sucks, there are no special features, just the movie. Not worth the price. Save your money for something worthwhile, it's a tough economy right now and this film doesn't deserve any of your hard earned money. The fact that they're releasing a bluray of the film without any supplements with the intent of releasing another bluray later this year with everything is just plain selfish business. This movie was so absolutely terrible, and if you honestly liked this and thought it was anything more than what it is, going so far as to say it was a 'good movie' then that's just sad. There are thousands of movies already out on bluray and still coming that deserve your $20 more than this one. If I may recommend it, spend your money on Tree of Life when it comes out just a week later on bluray. It's not the greatest film ever made, but it's the best to come out this year and the bluray is going to be so amazing. That movie alone is more rewarding in one viewing than this film could ever be. But regardless, please just don't buy this movie, especially not this version of the bluray. If you want to spend $20, give it to a charity or something, or keep saving up because the economy could nosedive again at any moment and this movie isn't worth the risk. Tree of Life is, but not this. NOT THIS MOVIE. YOUR MONEY IS WORTH MORE. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS. NOT THIS MOVIE.

MORE MINDLESS GARBAGE FROM THE BAY TRASH FACTORY.....

How could anyone watch any of these Transformers movies and consider them to be anything but garbage of the lowest order? Michael Bay is without a doubt a brainless juvenile delinquent. Bayformers 3 might not be filled with as much cross burning racism and military propaganda as part 2, but it's still an insultingly stupid movie. Now, I know this is based on a cartoon about robots that turn into vehicles, but Thor/X-Men: First Class/Captain America were based on comic books and all three of those movies were very well made for the types of films that they were. Popcorn movies don't have to be dumb and when audiences flock to see crap like Bayformers they're practically paying to be treated as though they were mentally deficient.Michael Bay's Transformers movies are to Science Fiction as the Twilight movies are to the Horror genre and it's truly sad to see that both franchises have made soo much money as it proves that I.Q.'s are dropping across the board. Bayformers is to cinema what The Jersey Shore is to television as Justin Bieber is to music; the lowest common denominator.

kind of a pathetic dvd

I guess i should have done more research before i bought this. I enjoy the transformers franchise and even though i feel like the 2nd and 3rd movie will never live up to the quality of the 1st I enjoyed this one enough to decide to buy this bluray/dvd hoping that the blu ray format and additional special features would keep me entertained. Well when you put the movie in you are treated to; the movie, different audio languages, and nothing no commentary, behind the scenes, deleted scenes,etc.......If you want nothing but a movie buy it off itunes or something, I'd recommend getting the other special edition version that i learned about after I already bought this one

I feel as if I got scammed by Paramount

Let's start out with the film. I would say that this Transformers film rivals the first one in quality. It's really that good. I would give it a solid four out of five. This was the first film that I had seen in IMAX 3-D after returning to the states from being stationed overseas. I was completely blown away with the 3-D effects and sound. However, I feel as if I have been duped by Paramount in that when I opened my blu-ray combo pack there was a 5 or 10 dollar off coupon for the Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3-D, Blu-ray/DVD+ Digital Copy! I know that the studio is trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of us, but come on! They probably had the 3-D version ready but wanted to milk us some more. I would not recommend buying this version and waiting on the newer one scheduled to release soon.So to summarize:Film- 4Shady Blu-ray release business practices- 1 (negative if I could)

Uggh, such a waste of potential!

I really liked the first one, and the second one was okay too. But Dark of the Moon was difficult to sit through for me. Endless dialogue with minimal action sequences, I found myself looking at the time far too often. They dropped Meghan Fox, who despite her controversial reputation, definitely added to the cast. The special effects are still amazing, but there just wasn't enough action. BORING!!! If they are going to continue with this franchise they had better turn it up a few notches.

As long as MIchael Bay will see his fans as cavemen, this will not stop.

Sorry with my english for i am from Montréal.I still do not want to give up on Michael Bay. When i see him in interviews, underneath his condescending tone and his obvious self-love, i see an educated and intelligent man. I still have hope that he will mature eventually and direct a genuine great film. But right now, he is a teenager. He obviously thinks that most of his audience is dumb, sexually depraved and uneducated. The way he films women, the way he portrays the adults, the things he makes them say and do, the "comedy" that he puts in there and that he thinks will make us laugh, all of this makes me think that Michael Bay simply sees his fans as cavemen. And by reading some of the comments here, well my God, he's about right!It is not a question of putting your brain to neutral in order to enjoy a good old "pop corn" movie. Not all "pop corn" movies are good. "Transformers 3" is a bad movie. Just like the second one. Probably even more. The characters are stupid. The dialog is corny. The intentions are childish. And we just don't care about anything. And why, oh why, do incredible and sexy women fall so much in love with Sam? It is so obvious that Bay was a shy and rejected teenager and that he couldn't get... well, nevermind. I don't know how Michael Bay and his team can watch a movie like that knowing that other people will witness such a disgraceful work of art. How can they be proud?God knows i enjoy all sort of films. Pop corn movies and art films. I loved the first "Transformers". But it is clear to me now that Steven Spielberg had more of a word to say in the first one.And when i hear people calling this third film "Excellent" or "Perfect"... it's beyond me.The first part of the film, the prologue that is, when it deals with the missions on the Moon, well that part is truly fun. Those small parts are the ones that make me think that Bay will, one day, make a great "Pop Corn" movie. But the more i see him going and the more i hear him talk, i'm starting to think that he won't be able to do it on his own, that he'll need someone else to help him along the way, like Spielberg in the first "Transformers".Again, i'm all for "Pop Corn" movies. I enjoy them. But the directors must respect the viewer's intelligence. Michael Bay does not. He is clearly saying that you are dumb. And some of you are worshiping him.Well you get the movies you diserve.

Don't wait for ANY version of this unbelievably terrible movie.

A lot had been said by Michael Bay before this movie came out that he recognized the multitudes of problems with Transformers 2 and they were all going to be fixed for Transformers 3.He lied. The only problem Michael Bay saw with Transformers 2 was that Transformers 2, at two and a half hours long, wasn't long enough.Before I begin totally railing against this abomination, I'll say some nice things. Transformers 2 had no overarching story. This one kind of does, in that stuff that happens at the beginning factors into stuff that occasionally happens for the rest of the movie. Also, you can kind of make out what's going on in these action scenes, for perhaps the first time in this series. I dunno if that's due to Bay shooting for 3D or what, but you can actually see these action scenes.Unfortunately, none of that matters. While we finally may be able to tell WHAT is going on on screen, there's still no way to decipher WHY any of it is going on on screen. Characters remain the bane of Bay's career, in that none of them are interesting in any way and none of them have arcs. What the hell have Tyrese or Josh Duhamel done in ANY of these movies? John Turturro? Shia's Parents? Half of the transformers whose names I can't remember because there's nothing memorable about them? I could go on. There are so many characters that serve no purpose and are only in there because Michael Bay thinks they're amusing. They're not amusing and the movie would be much better off without the lot of them. I must also pause and make special mention of Ken Jeong in this movie. His character and performance are surreal. I dunno if Bay let him run wild with the role or directed him that way, but he is the worst thing about this whole movie.And then there's Shia. Maybe he kind of has an arc in this movie. He occasionally whines about growing up and being a man, but that's all he does. There's no resolution or moment of growth, he just talks about it every now and again. And Shia's acting is downright grating. He seemingly alternates between extreme emotions at random. Remember when Spielberg thought this guy was a big deal? Those times have passed. Even worse is Shia's new girlfriend. If you can find me a more bland leading woman in a film, I'd be shocked. I was no fan of Megan Fox, but she is leagues better than Rosie Big Lips. At least she had a personality.It'd all be fine if the action was cool, but it's not. Everyone raves about the hour long action scene in Chicago. It's a terrible hour that never ends. There are action scenes that work within this scene (most notably the building falling set piece) but the rest take place for no reason. There's no objective for most of the action scenes and therefore nothing is ever accomplished. The wing suit scene? What the hell did those jerks do once they landed? Nothing! They land and are never heard from again. These action scenes carry all the weight of a screensaver.I also must bring something else up. In said long action scene in Chicago, there is a good seventeen minutes of screen time where Optimus Prime is caught in wires. Optimus Prime, in case you don't know, is a giant robot who can fly and has a giant gun and carries a sword. And he's caught in wires. For seventeen minutes. Other Transformers even try to come and help him, and he's still caught IN F#@$ING WIRES for seventeen minutes. This is some of the laziest writing I've ever seen. It's also a very good indication that a) Optimus Prime is a terrible character and b) that action scene goes on for far too long.I don't know why I watched either Transformers sequel. Morbid curiosity, I suppose. I just don't understand why this franchise makes a billion dollars every time out when we have plenty of blockbusters that bring the spectacle without forgoing basic filmmaking/storytelling competency. This summer alone we got Harry Potter, Captain America, X-Men First Class, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. All of those movies are wildly better than this trash heap. Hell, even Fast Five puts this movie to shame.To put it shortly, the Transformers trilogy is the worst trilogy ever made.

AVOID at all costs!!!

If you like any special features at all do not buy this version. They are doing the same thing as Avatar. This release gets a full price but absolutely zero special features. Not so much as a trailer. They will be putting out deluxe versions toward the end of the year including a 3D combo pack, blu ray combo pack & dvd. ALL will be packed & you will kick yourself for having to buy this a second time. Many people don't care about features but if you do consider yourself forewarned. And it's not like they're giving you a cut on the price for a "movie only" release.

Michael Bay, you have ruined my childhood!

Why would you take a franchise that had so much promise, and turn it into a monstrosity of a movie?When the first Transformers film was released back in 2007 as an `80s child I was highly anticipating my shape shifting robots on the big screen. When I found out that they took the time to gather Peter Cullen to go back to his roots and voice Optimus Prime I was awestruck. After a fantastic film that didn't really give me enough robots that I anticipated I was eager for more. Then came `Revenge of the Fallen' More robots, intense action, but unfortunately more humans and horrible acting in a over 2 hour film. After that a promise was made by Michael Bay that the third film was going to be one of the greatest action films ever and yes there would be more robots and more character development.`Dark of the Moon' came, there were some amazing action sequences, and yes more robots...BUT...no plot, no acting skill and just a bunch of special effects and explosions to cover the mess all up. This movie has the word fail written all over it I don't even want to purchase this DVD. Hell, this movie makes `Revenge of the Fallen' look good and that says a lot! At this point I am devastated after 4 years of what could have been one of the greatest stories ever told on film based on a true animation revolution, I was left with disgust and sheer disappointment. Take these movies...maybe not the first and bury them deep underground and let's never speak of them again. If there is a Transformers 4 or a Transformers reboot, you can bet your money that I will not be sitting in that theater.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen - I mean ever...

This movie is terrible. It is the kind of movie that you could dissect frame by frame and explain why literally EVERYTHING that is happening is stupid. Everything. There is nothing redeeming about this film. There is nothing memorable about this film. There is nothing original, creative, or imaginative about this film. Watching this film is like being chocked to death by having roadkill jammed down your throat.Join me my friends on a journey of explanation - together we will walk the yellow brick road of why this film sucks.The plot makes no sense. None. A ship escapes Cybertron during the last days of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The ship is caring some "Prime" guy and a technological wonder - some sort of teleportation machine. Apparently the Prime guy is a tech wiz and he is the only one that can make this teleportation apparatus work... and it is special because it could have "ended the war." How? Who knows. Nevermind.Well, the ship gets damaged and miraculously crosses half the known universe to crash on the dark side of the Moon. Apparently, the Decepticons discover the ship at some point and they take most of the columns that make up the teleportation device. However, they leave the Prime and 4 of the columns - because Prime is the only one that can operate the machine and they are going to trick the Autobots many years in the future into traveling to the moon to find the ship, and the Prime, bring him back to Earth with the 4 remaining columns, and use the Matirx to reactive him (because the Matrix is the only way to do it), then Prime will betray the Autobots and work with Megatron to reactivate the teleportation machine to "bring" Cybertron into Earth space for some reason that would actually make a difference but we really aren't sure of.Got all that?Hey Moondonkey? You ask. How are the Autbots going to learn about the ship on the moon?Weeeelllllllll... for some reason the Autobots are going to attack an underground Russian installation and find a piece of the ship. Except that the Decepticons will also have a big worm-like robot there fighting to get the piece of the ship as well (sort of like a metal sandworm from Dune). The Autobots need to defeat the worm in order to find the ship part so that they can discover the existence of the ship so that they can rescue Prime so that that can reactivate Prime so that Prime can betray the Autobots so that Prime can activate the teleportation machine so that a bunch of Decepticons can jump into Earth space (from where?) so that the decepticons can take over a big city (I forget which one it was) so that they can activate the machine from the top of a sky scraper so that they can teleport Cybertron into Earth space.Again - got all that.Soooo... what if the Decepticon worm had "won" and gotten away with the spacechip part? What then? Then the Autobots wouldn't realize the ship was on the moon and the Decepticon plot to activate the machine would fail. Ok... So why the F is a damn Decepticon worm fighting the Autobots for the ship part? Huh? Why not just let the Autobots find the damn thing? What sense does this make?And this is just one example of how stupid this movie is.Another brief example:Skip back for a minute - recall how the Autobots went to the moon to find the ship. They used a spaceship, right? Later in the movie the Autobots get kicked off of Earth by the humans and they have to rig up a spaceship using shuttle parts because they don't have a ship capable of space travel. Uhhhh... wait a minute, then what the heck did they use to travel to the moon in the first place? Why doesn't that ship work?Another example:When the Decepticons take over the city, where do the giant Decepticon ships come from? There are these giant alien Decepticon ships flying around. Where did they come from? When the Prime opens the teleportation gate for the first time, a FEW Decepticons slip through. Ok, fine. But there sure as heck weren't any giant Decepticon ships that came through the gate. The next thing we know there is some sort of Decepticon space navy flying around.Unfortunately, I can't go into every detail of how this movie sucks because it would probably take 20 pages. I'm serious. You can dissect every single scene in this film and explain how and why it is stupid. Every scene.Oh - final point. Who is the moron that came up with the idea of making some of the autobots into stupid little comedy relief robots? Any why would some robots have "old" looking robot hair like balding old men? S...T...U...P...I...D.

Michael Bay should be barred from making more movies.

This film was by far, the most mediocre, melodramatic, hackneyed, and banal piece of work that Bay has ever put on screen.If you have the mentality of a ten-year-old, then yes, you'll find this film entertaining, but for all adults out there, you should best skip this thing.

Even Amazon Prime can't Save Optimus Prime this time

Ugh! What a steaming pile of predictability this movie was. At least I didn't pay to see it and was able to read a software tech manual while "watching" this. The plot is thinner than the paper it was written on and the acting, well its typical Michael Bay which means you can see more believable productions at you local high school. It was easily an hour too long and the special effect have been used hundreds before. I think the saddest part was hearing Lenard Nimoy as Optimus Sentimental, I mean Sentinel. Gratuitous sci-fi pandering at it's lowest.

A blatant ripoff to force you to buy the "real" version.

Look, I understand that with big-name films, there's going to be multiple home versions of it on any given format. Usually there's the basic version that includes the film and maybe one or two features, like a commentary or some deleted scenes or something, but otherwise pretty minimal stuff. That's fine, considering that they often charge only about $20-30 for that kind of version, and usually release the "real" special features-heavy version very close to or at the same time as that version. It makes sense, since we think we're getting the "real" version by paying more money for something that should be there to begin with. But the existence of the basic version tricks us into buying the "real" version, like it's some ultra-special edition, and to own the basic edition is a mark of shame. It makes sense, really. I mean, would you want the crap version of the film with nothing on it but the basic theater version? Of course you wouldn't. But we'll still charge you $10 extra for the "real" version under the pretext that it's a special edition of some kind, instead of the reality that it's the only version they expect you to buy at some point if you're a fan of the film.So, you can see where I'm going here. This is the absolute bare-bones version of the film, with absolutely *zero* special features. No commentaries, no deleted scenes or outtakes, no featurettes, nothing. You get the film. No more.We'll still charge you $30-40 for it, though. And the special edition, which will be released several months later, will cost just as much if not more than this version. So, what are you going to do? Spend the cash now for the basic version, or be the last to own it at home while waiting months for the real version with all the cool stuff? It puts you in an impossible dilemma that you can't escape. See, production companies have found that people often buy the basic version if they release it at the same time as the special edition, since people often don't care about anything but the film, and will gladly take the reduced price. That changes when they're spread out this far apart. This adds a whole new dimension of what's worth what--and I guarantee you that people are trading in their old editions for the new one right now, and in bundles, just as the studio always planned.It's great marketing, sure, but it's also an obvious ripoff that doesn't even bother to hide that it's a ripoff. We could have at the very least been given some kind of commentary, bare minimum. Anything, really. Just...Anything. I mean, this is a full-price Blu-ray with a pretty moot digital copy, but it doesn't include what that often entails.This, in a word, sucks. Hard. They threw out the Blu-ray as fast as humanly possible, while planning the entire time to release a real edition with special features out the whazoo. Studios are always trying to cash in on big-name films with their home releases, especially considering how awful box offices are doing these days (with the insane ticket prices and ridiculous emphasis on no-effort 3D effects, they should have seen that coming), but while I think this deserves no stars for being downright deceptive (no pun intended), you can't blame the studios for pulling off what works to get the most money for the least effort. So, here you go: Transformers 3 on Blu-ray, with all the audio and visual bells and whistles, just without any special features to speak of. And they know that by the time the "real" edition comes out, this'll drop in price so much that it'll have the image of being the bad version. Many of you will trade in the original for the new one, and I don't blame you. If you want those special features, you have no choice. This is how they operate, and it works. You don't have to like it, since money speaks for itself in this kind of massive industry.As a final note, I remember the days when DVDs basically always had two versions that came out at the same time: The basic single-disc version, and the "2-disc special edition" version. Almost all movies with any impact did that. The key difference is that both came out at the same time, so you had a reasonable choice to make. One was typically $10 more than the other, maybe even less. The decision was clear, and everything was laid out. Not so here, not anymore. Now you don't even know what the special features are going to be ahead of time, and you're gambling that you can live with the basic version many months after the basic version is released. This kind of trend is very disturbing with the studios taking advantage of this, but again, it just works. The studios are frothing with excitement as people trade in their old Blu-rays for the new special one, just as they always wanted. They're getting literally more than double than what they would normally get if they did it the traditional way, since you're basically buying the movie twice if you fell into this trap.This version sucks, and cons you into buying it anyway. Maybe you're the type who simply does not care at all about anything except the film, and special features and maybe some video and audio corrections aren't a big deal. Well, then you can probably live with this. If not, then, well, they've got the problem and the solution right here.

Be careful when searching for "3-D movies"

I used the search window using "3-d movies" as the criteria and this movie popped up along with dozens of other 3-d movies, but when I received it, I realized I had not read the description close enough to see that this movie was NOT 3-d. Amazon-please don't place 2-d movies selections in with the 3-d ones! I had to pay $2.98 to return an item that shouldn't have been offered in a search of 3-d movie selections. Ouch. All in all I love Amazon, but I'll be more careful in the future. My bad.

Better than "Fallen" But Still Not Great...

**1/2The original "Transformers" film was clearly a fluke.After a lot of initial skepticism, I went to see the original "Transformers" film and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Funny characters, exciting action scenes, really cool special effects thrown into Michael Bay's blender to produce a very enjoyable summer movie experience. In the inevitable sequel, "Revenge of the Fallen", Bay heaps on the characters, the special effects, the so-called 'funny moments' and a particularly jarring Jar-Jar Binks-esque pair of characters to create a loud mishmash that completely loses any humanity, any character the first film has. So, when I heard they were doing a third "Transformers" film, the eternal optimist in me hoped that Bay would learn from the mistakes of the second film and create something closer to the first.But he seems to consider the huge box office of "Fallen" as license for more of the same."Dark of the Moon" begins with an interesting premise. The entire Apollo Space program was a ruse, a cover-up to get to the moon and find and investigate a strange space craft. The space craft crashed many years ago when Sentinel Prime (voiced by Leonard Nimoy) managed to escape the destruction of the Transformers home planet carrying precious cargo. The United States and Russia begin the Space Race to find out what crash landed on the moon. Flash forward to present day. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his girlfriend Carly (British supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whitely) are living in Washington and Sam is trying to get a job. He is more than a little pissed that he helped to save humanity twice, but can't get a job. His parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White) pop up for a surprise visit and Sam manages to get a job with an accounting firm run by Bruce Brazos (John Malkovich). At the same time, Lennox (Josh Duhamel) is still running the unit with the Transformers, traveling around the world to put a stop to the various Decepticons. But Optimus Prime is concerned about Mearing's (Frances McDormand) handling of the unit. Then he begins to realize the Decepticons are about to try and retrieve the cargo Sentinel Prime has on his ship. They race to the moon and bring the dormant Transformer back. Eventually, the Opticons and the Decepticons begin to battle in Chicago. And Sam, Carly, Lennox and Epps (Tyrese Gibson) are all back in the center of the action."Dark of the Moon" is a little better than the last film. And this can be contributed to the pretty impressive battle in Chicago, which closes the film. It also lasts a long time, making it a little more impressive and also a little excessive. But it is still fun nonetheless.But let's talk more about that in a minute.The best summer films contain the most interesting characters, the most interesting character development. Without believable, or at least interesting, characters, why should we care about all of the special effects, explosions, car chases, etc. In "Dark of the Moon", the actors seem to be in a contest to see who can out mug each other. Each actor creates a human cartoon character with broad gestures, bugged out eyes, flailing hands, and the like. And the winner of this contest would have to be Shia LaBeouf. He starts screaming at people and yelling and overacting for little or no reason. And he does this throughout the film, basically at the drop of a hat. The whole idea wears thin quickly. Basically, his performance is nothing like what an actual human would do in the same situations. John Malkovich is also so broad, his performance is almost unwatchable. Generally, Malkovich plays strange, unusual people, but Brazos is just a strange, strange creation. Worse it is difficult to figure out why he is acting like this. He doesn't really seem to be a part of the plot. Kevin Dunn and Julie White seem to be comic relief because they appear to be used simply to make Sam cringe and start yelling. Frances McDormand (really?) is also pretty bad, doing very little to create a believable persona. Patrick Dempsey pops up a few times. His performance only prompts me again to wonder why he is working with such a bad agent. After making such an impact in "Grey's Anatomy", Dempsey has appeared in a number of films and all but one has not provided him with the opportunity to create a memorable character. But the worst is easily Ken Jeong, who made such an impact in "The Hangover". Because of the success of that role, he seems to be getting additional work in which the filmmakers simply want him to recreate that character, only broader. Yikes. Broader than "The Hangover"? In "Dark of the Moon", he never utters a word in anything that could be considered a normal voice. He is always yelling, whispering in a loud voice, flailing his arms, the like. Basically, it is a repeat of his performance in "The Hangover 2".On the opposite side of the coin, Josh Duhamel seems to be in a different film altogether. If the other characters are broad and over-the-top, Lennox is downright sedate. He is always serious, always has an eye on the situation at hand. In other words, he is in an action film and tries to figure out how to get out of the situations created by the Transformers.When the action shifts to Chicago and the Decepticons begin to put their plan into motion, the film picks up a bit. Maybe this is because everyone is running around and fighting and there simply isn't any time to try and act.Why this battle takes place in Chicago is still lost on me. For some reason, the Decepticons have chosen to use Chicago as Ground Zero for their plan. Their plan is to use these machines to... Well, if that is really that important to you, you should find out what their plan is by watching the film. But why they choose Chicago is vague.The climatic battle is long, a little excessive and fun to watch. It's even a little corny because the Decepticons raise the bridges completely hampers the progress of the humans and this becomes the main thrust of their efforts for a while. "We have to get the bridges lowered". People are trying to hack into computers, soldiers are trying to get close to auxiliary switches, everyone wants to get close to the bridges because "We have to get the bridges lowered." I guess they can't use boats, swim, use the El tunnels, get close enough to use missile launchers, etc.Once the fighting gets under way, everyone gets together to come up with a plan. They have to take out a certain tower, because the Decepticons have set up this machine that will... Again, see the movie. But to take out this tower, they have to get close to the tower. How do you do that when all of the bridges are up? Well, they decide to do a dangerous sky dive. This is really the centerpiece of the entire sequence and it is pretty impressive. A large group of soldiers drops into the sky and flies towards their target, small wings attached between their arms and bodies. It is a visually stunning stunt and pretty exciting to watch. Bay seems to realize this because he includes the stunt twice. Normally, doing something twice in a row would point out the lack of original ideas, but I didn't care because it was fun to watch.At one point, all of the humans are trying to get to a floor in the building directly across from the Decepticons machine. Apparently, they can only disable the machine by shooting at it in a straight line, directly across from it. The Decepticons learn they are in the building and send Shock Wave to take them out. Shock Wave is a large Transformer with large extensions, tentacles, that appear to extend from the main body and can wind and tunnel into anything, in a more fluid manner. Shock Wave is introduced early in the film, but the true terror of the Decepticon doesn't come into play until this sequence.And it also provides an opportunity for Sam and Carly to get in the way of danger. Repeatedly. And it provides an opportunity for Sam to save his pouty lipped girlfriend more than once.The most impressive thing about the "Transformers" films is the special effects. Sure, CGI can let most filmmakers accomplish some pretty impressive stuff, but when your special effects move as fast as the Transformers do, that adds another degree of difficulty, another degree of interest and it really holds your attention.The least impressive thing about the "Transformers" films (and any Michael Bay film for that matter) is the acting. But in the first film, the acting seemed to be sweet, somewhat genuine and even a little plausible. Sure, there was a lot of shouting and John Turturro was pretty over-the-top, but these moments seemed justified by the unique nature of the threat. In "Fallen", the balance shifted and the acting grew exponentially cartoonish. In "Dark of the Moon", I can't say the acting has improved, in fact, I think Shia LaBeouf is even worse in this film, but the balance has shifted again, just slightly. The unique and interesting nature of the special effects and some of the action scenes outweighs the arm flailing and histrionics from Sam.Based on the enormous success of this film, there will be a sequel. Yawn. I want to say I won't be in the theater, waiting to get my money's worth. But by that point, I probably will have bought into the hype again and parked my but in a seat on the aisle, waiting for the silver screen to come to life.

One of THOSE Threequels...

Okay... for starters, I liked the first two Transformers movies; they're what got me BACK into Transformers. I know the second one had some serious flaws, but I enjoyed it for the mindless action Bay-film that it was.Now, as I said, Michael Bay's movies got me back into Transformers. As a result, I watched some of the shows, did some research on characters and backstory, and played the High Moon Studios games. I made myself a die-hard Transformers fan, and when I saw MORE classic characters were going to be in THIS, Dark of the Moon, I was thrilled...Then I saw it and ranted the next few days.To sum up, pros and cons;PROS:*Apollo 11 references were cool*The epic, tragic feel of the attack on Chicago and the havoc wrought on humanity*Less of Bay's racial-based humor, though not entirely absent.CONS (oh boy):*Decepticons STILL suck; Megatron, Starscream and the other Decepticons can barely so much as scratch a HUMAN, let alone an Autobot. Very anti-climatic and a betrayal to their characters; Decepticons, especially Megatron, are supposed to be BAD-@$$. I was hoping they'd make Starscream and Megatron better, like in the first movie opposed to the second, but they just suck MORE.*The new chick. I wasn't biased because I was a die-hard Megan Fox fan, but this new chick was pointless. She doesn't do ANYTHING to help other than irk a useless Megatron, and the first shot of her is her tush. Basically, Bay was like "OH CRAP, our hot girl's gone, gotta get another- OH LOOK A VICTORIAN SECRET MODEL GET HER @$$ IN HERE!" What the hell? I don't go to Transformers for the ditsy, useless hot chicks. Make her a strong character, at least Megan Fox helped FIGHT!*Annoying, "Original" Transformers. Needed something to replace the racially insentive duo from the second one, didn't we?*New villains. Shockwave was marketed as a major villain in this movie, but he has one line, does very little, and dies pathetically. Doesn't even get an actual fight, he just gets shot a bunch, stabbed and dies. Sentinel Prime, ANOTHER betrayal of the character Bay was basing him off, took Shockwave's spotlight and this was totally pointless.*Not really a Transformers movie. Very few Autobot vs Decepticon fights. Most of it is just our Bay-glorified military flying in to save the day. I wouldn't have a problem with that if that's what I was EXPECTING, but this is FREAKING TRANSFORMERS!!!Hate this movie, despite the few and far between good bits. Won't see Transformers 4, if there is one. The way Bay threw away Shockwave and other classic characters shows he doesn't care for their potential epic impact as he does their marketability. This movie showed me the kind of director Michael Bay is; an exploitative, money-grubbing director.

unwatchable

The first few Transformers movies had awful dialog, bad acting, and substituted explosions for plot. And still I actually managed to sit all the way through them. I got about 45 minutes into this one and couldn't go on. Awful.

Horrible

It isn't very often that I turn off a movie and walk away before it has ended but this movie was deserving of such behavior. Damn you Michael Bay for killing my childhood memories about Transformers. I believed that you were sincere when apologizing for the previous embarrassment that netted you a lot of money and wanted to believe that this movie would be better. No, it wasn't. Where is your pride? Better yet, where is your soul. Wait, I can see it circling the drain ready to disappear forever. I will never watch any of your movies again and hope the same for others. you. sick. bastard.

Dreadful

It's marginally better than the second of the series, with action sequences that border on coherent, but just a few minutes in it's already pointlessly foolish, and doesn't do much to redeem itself over the next few hours. Big robots, smash smash smash. Whatever.

Awful movie.

Standard Michael Bay garbage. Totally removed from the original idea, especially concerning Optimus Prime's character. The ideals the character originally stood for are completely ignored in favor of kill shots and 'Murican tough guy crap.

Unremarkable, but not as bad as the previous installment

I don't even remember the plot, the resolution, or much else about this. However, I also don't remember it being painfully bad as the previous installment was. You should not go out of your way to watch this, but there are worse movies.

I got dizzy watching the machines transform. I only watched the movie to see Chicago, because I live there. Needless to say, I did not like this movie.

One of the worst movies ever.

The acting is horrible. The story is nonexistent. This is a movie that is surely not worth your time.The special effects are its one redeeming factor, but they can't redeem this movie. The only good thing about this compared to Transformers 2 is that there is less screaming in this one.

Utterly stupid - don't waste your time

As another reviewer wrote, I watched this partly out of morbid curiosity (while trapped on an 8-hour trans-Atlantic flight): How low could Michael Bay go? Or could he somehow redeem the embarrassment that was "Revenge of the Fallen" and re-capture the excitement and solid sci-fi/action spirit of the first movie? Well, the answer is no. At the risk of repeating other disappointed reviewers, "Dark of the Moon" is an utterly lazy, mind-numbingly stupid re-hash of cliches, offensive potty humor, and implausible "action" scenes that insult the intelligence even of fans willing to go to great lengths to suspend disbelief for the sake of this movie (a dozen mostly-retired soldiers with 21st century firearms and 6-8 Autobots wipe out hundreds (or thousands...it's not really clear since they position themselves around the whole planet) of Decepticons armed with futuristic lasers?? The idiocy just goes on and on and on. More pointless blather from Sam's parents; more offensive sterotypes in the form of bit-part Autobots; lots of blurry action that is so close-up you can't even tell what's happening. It's as if Michael Bay decided since he did a decent job the first time, there was no need wasting good animation on the point of the WHOLE FRANCHISE: robots that "Transform" into vehicles! The first film actually put some effort into depicting these scenes in CG. In Dark of the Moon, the machines just pop in-and-out of vehicle or robot mode so fast you hardly notice. Short story way too long: while I really enjoyed the first Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.

Longest Action Sequence in the history of film

Man, where do I even begin with this disaster of a movie? First of all, it starts off with Optimus Prime narrating about how the Transformers came to be, as if we didn't hear any of that in the first 2 films. Very bizarre way to open the movie.Hardly a mention of Megan Fox's character, after being the love of Sam's life for the first 2 movies, and knowing vital information about the Autobots. Now this new girl is all of a sudden privy to the information, just like that? Weird, didn't make sense. She could have been written in better. Sam's relationship is a very important aspect of these movies, but this transition was ridiculously done. Horrible job by the writers on that one.There were WAY too many action sequences in this movie. Michael Bay, true to his character, just enjoys blowing things up in Transformers movie. He took it to ridiculous extremes with this one. The final HOUR of the movie was a straight fight sequence! I've never seen anything like it, in over 30 years of watching movies. Sam narrowly avoided being killed about 760 times during the movie. Yawn.This movie was a complete and utter disaster. The CGI effects were pretty good, but you just didn't care this time around. No character build-ups, too much action, storyline was hurried, just wasn't a good movie at all. Please don't make a Transformers 4!

Micheal Bay is the new Uwe Bolle.

I don't want to spoil anything up front(though there's not much to spoil), so I will not debate any plot points until the end, marked by the big "*********". If you want to see this movie, please don't read past that point.Here's a few things to consider, though. In 2 1/2 hours of movie, I felt like I got about 10 minutes of Transformer fighting in. Seriously. Pretty bad for something billed "The Greatest Action Movie of All Time." There was more action of humans running to and from battles, but that was about it.There's probably about 30 minutes of those slow motion scenes where someone's walking to or from something exploding, or that slow-motion "dramatic pause".10 Minutes of Action does not make an Action Movie! I would have settled for ten minutes of good plot.On to the spoilers (DO NOT GO PAST THIS POINT IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE)****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************So let me get this right, Sentinel Prime is a traitor, but gives the life spark back to Optimus when it's offered to him. Ummm, bad guy Prime, that was game, set, and match. Would have made winning that war pretty easy. This scene is so bad when you see in the very next scene Sentinel shows he's a traitor.And the second unbelievable point: Sentinal makes a deal with the Decepticons, but they Shoot Down His Ship while he's making a getaway to them? Really?And the most powerful Transformer ever, Optimus Prime, can't fight his way out of a few cables? Doesn't even try?Bumblebee and the others are fighting. Prime says "it ends here!" Literally 2 seconds later, in the next scene, they're all capture except for Prime and getting executed one by one.Umm, Michael Bay, what's up with having two Autobots that just toss jokes back and forth? Were the ice-cream trucks lesson enough, or do you have to your own Jar-jar Binks in every movie?As powerful as Soundwave is, why isn't he king of the Transformers? Seriously. You might have overpowered that guy.And the guy who's saved the world twice can't even get a job recommendation from the government? Or even talk to the Autobots? Really?I was so frustrated with this movie I got on just to write this review. I wish it made more sense, but hopefully it conveyed a complete and total frustration with the lack of quality directing and script-writing Hollywood is putting out. A big name or two, some special effects, and they hope we'll all drool through the movie.

Bleh

It takes more than special effects to make a movie. The first film was good, the 2nd one mostly decent, but this was unadulterated, predictable, garbage, full of bad acting eye candy. The heroine of this tale couldn't find a coherent sentence with a conjunctive map. Should have stuck with Megan Fox. At least she had some real attitude.

Unwatchably boring

~40 minutes in, so bored I quit. Seriously, unintertained to the extent that I closed the browser. Honestly, though I've stopped watching a movie from lack of interest before, it's never been this bad. Also, the first forty minutes did not start up any comprehensible plot.

1 was a sin, 2 was an atrocity, 3 lacks a word to describe its awfulness

When I saw a review giving this movie 0 out of 5 (the 3rd time this respected source has ever done so), I should have listened. If 2 had plot holes, 3 has plot chasms. There is no story. A few special effects can not redeem such gaping wounds that make up the rest of the film (plot, charisma, fan service). Michael Bay really needs to stop raping people's childhoods (a la South Park George Lucas style).Go watch the '86 animated film instead and save yourself the excruciating pain that is The Dark Side of the Moon (and I'm not talking Pink Floyd).

and a complete waste of electricity. Michael Bay has not been hungry for years, therein lies the problem. Let's see what happens in the inevitable sequel.
