I’m just sorting through some old Moleskines (making sure that I’ve copied up all the blog posts that I’ve made in them etc before I crack on with the new one) and I stumbled upon this short review of Transformers 3 – aka Dark of the Moon.
It’s old, I know. But I fancied sharing it.
In short: the best Transformers film to date*
*Not exactly a hard thing
High points
- 1960s!
- OMFG! BEST TRANSFORMING SCENE… EVER!

Low points
- THE END IS HORRIFIC
- WHY IS MEGATRON IN A SCARF?
- MEGATRON / NEW GF SCENE OF FAIL
Going to the NYC premiere was fun (as was the Michael Bay screening in Miami), but the film – although featuring several rather spectacular set pieces – was not awesome. Figured the best way to illustrate this was through the above ‘interest curve’ idea that I nicked borrowed from Total Film.
S’all I got.
Transformers 3 was filmed mostly in Chicago, and when you come here later this year I will have to show you some of the scene locations, including my back alley! It was interesting watching the filming as it was going on.
