@RottenTomatoes: Roger Ebert gives Transformers 1 star. "One of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies." http://t.co/Kt3bi9D

:rofl:

the guy seems to hate everything :p...everytime I see his name mentioned its always because a review or controversy over a tweet

I thought she was Scottish. I didn't think they were one and the same.

She is Scottish.

The English, Welsh and Scottish are all technically British, regardless of if any might moan about being put under the label that has anything to do with being part of the UK but that is usually just some angry Scots, lol.

But isn't Irish not = Scottish. Don't they get twisted if someone confuses the two, I thought the same thing goes with British and Scottish.

What do you mean by twisted?

And ignoring the double negative, :p, Irish aren't Scottish, those from Northern Ireland iirc can be Irish and British because northern island is governed and part of the UK, just like the Scottish are Scottish and British, the same goes for the rest.

The point being, lol, Karen Gillan is Scottish, but that doesn't mean she isn't British, the same would go for anyone from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

He's a ****ing dip****, I hate him and his reviews :angry: Going to see it Thursday with my girl and not expecting a A+ storyline because that's not what Transformers is about in my opinion, it's all about the fighting :woot: We were going to see it in IMAX but our IMAX decided Cars 2 was a better movie to show :blink: From all of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes I think people are going in to this movie expecting Schindler's List or something..... This movie is supposed to be dark, gritty and high octane action which I am sure this delivers in every way and I am sure the majority of the people who see it are expecting the same thing I am. Movie critics are just that, I would love for them to make a movie so we can all cut them down and call there stuff ****! :laugh:

Yeah, the 3D was so worth it. Saw it last night, and it was incredible. Only the second time I've ever enjoyed 3D, and I feel like it really added to the experience. It made Michael Bay really slow down his cuts so we could understand and take in what was going on more. See it in 3D for sure.

P.S - Avatar wasn't the other 3D film I enjoyed, it was Tron: Legacy. It's all about value added, not just random 3D... Avatar just felt like 3D for the sake of 3D.

I really want to see it in 3D but my first time is going to be with my family and 3D makes my mom sick as a dog so that's a no go. Maybe next weekend I will take my little brother again for 3D :cool:

Just got back from seeing it, 3D is amazing, never been a huge fan of 3D, didnt even like the 3D in avatar but for Transformers i loved it. While the script i didnt feel was great (not so much the story but the speech) it was a great action film. The CGI effects i thought were amazing, possibly the best iv seen, the fight scenes were awesome. Its defo the best of the 3 films.

Possibly my only complaints would be that the start felt very rushed (felt that if you blinked you'd miss it all) then the middle slowed right right down which made it feel a very long film. You could also tell that alot of the budget went into the effects rather than the script which is a bit annoying, but was a good story line i felt none the less.

Seeing it again at the imax though as the 3D was that good in my opinion

Response to bold and underline: Welp, it's not, it's bright and explosions take place every other thirty seconds.

Response to underline: That's about all it is... brainless action..

Sad to say, the bad acting and cheesiness is still there.. and so are the paid advertisements for products. I can't count how many times you see a Lenovo monitor in shot.

It might be I'm a douchebag *******, but the gay jokes made me laugh. Going to convince the wife to go see it this weekend if she ever stops working. But now, I'm back and might as well stay awake another hour then go for my run, expected I would get bacl earlier from a midnight showing than 330. And I was more annoyed by the blatant Nokia N9 advertising at the end of the movie. It was fun, and that's what movies should be while you watch them, especially the summer blockbuster variety. To me it was well worth the money, especially loved ones.

Shia LaBeouf has revealed that he hooked up with Megan Fox while filming the first two Transformers films.

The actor cautiously nodded in agreement when asked whether the two had developed any romantic feelings during their time together on the film set.

"Look, you're on the set for six months with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them," the actor explained to Details magazine.

"I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry on screen."

When asked whether Fox had been dating her now-husband Brian Austin Green at the time, LaBeouf repeated the phrase "I don't know" 12 times over with different intonations, before adding: "It was what it was."

LaBeouf recently described Fox's absence from Transformers: Dark of the Moon as "a blessing", as it allowed his character Sam Witwicky to have more of a story arc.

can't blame him :p

got a question for you guys about 3D.. i've never actually been to see a 3d movie yet, but wanted to see TF3 in 3D, however i wear glasses and was always worried that wearing another pair of glasses over mine would be uncomfortable and generally mess up the 3D experience, anyone with glasses have experience with 3D?

They bother me, and I don't wear glasses. I normally don't go to 3D movies, but the screening for this was free, so I did.

I've seen a few 3D movies this way & tbh it doesn't bother me at all. Within minutes I forget about the annoyance.

About the girl, you guy's expectancy must be high. She's no godess but she ain't no dog either. It wouldn't make or break movie for me.

^^ Yes, I wear glasses too (my left eye is short sighted and my right is not =P) and it didn't feel too uncomfortable imo.

Just came back from watching Transformers 3 also and I cried when

Sentinel shot Ironhide

and it made me cry :'( He is my favourite Transformer alongside Bumblebee. Overall I thought the movie was really good and heaps better than the second one. I still prefer the first one though since it has a nice amount of comedy, action and seriousness to it than the other 2. Overall 7/10 for the action and story stuff despite the ending felt really rushed imo.

one things that seam to bother me while watching it

  • Blood (c'mon when do robots bleed lol)
  • Headshots to kill (i always thought u killed the robots via the spark they had)...
    They seam to focus on headshots in the third film, even mention it a few times in the fighting scenes at the end etc...

oh and i wear glasses, they dont really affect the 3D'ness but more of the fact they sit slighty uncomfy on the bridge of my nose but you kinda get use it.

Hot british chicks = Rachel Hurd-Wood, Naomi Watts, Kate Beckinsdale, Elizabeth Hurley (there are more this is just a short list)

And I'd certainly add Rachel Aldana to that list.

Not british but hot = Karen Gillan

Oh hell yeah, give me Amy Pond any day!! My wife (also named Amy) even thinks she's hot!

That being said, we are going to see TF3 in 3D tomorrow afternoon. That's my anniversary present this year (will be married 11 years tomorrow).

Headshots to kill (i always thought u killed the robots via the spark they had)

Optimus used headshots nearly every time he killed another character in the other movies, so that isn't much of a change at all.

And I'd certainly add Rachel Aldana to that list.

I didn't go pron for a reason. There are quite a few adult stars I like. Faith Nelson being one of them.

As far as head shots go, the ROTF video game gave extra bonus for headshots. Headshots is nothing new for the franchise.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more.

Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
