I've noticed there's been an onslaught of DOTM spots this week & VH-1 will have a sneak peak on Monday.

I know I can't wait!!

I'm already bracing for the bi-yearly storm of hate and rage each films brings. Got a few bets placed on how venemous the reviewers are this time.

That said I'm ready to go for when the film hits in the 28th.

I'm seeing the midnight release. Actually looking forward to it because I love this one's plot. It looks so much better then that other one.

I don't know if I have the on-line movie review site name right. but that "ROTTEN TOMATOES" site is a sure bet to mock the DOTM movie. as they hardly praise any movie in theathres. and they mocked the first 2 live action TF movies.

They're also owned by Warner Bros. so any film that's not by them will have a biased score.

I know, right?! It's going to be awesome!

There'll be screaming and death and blood and nobody listening to a damn thing anyone else is saying! Glorious chaos! Praise be to Michael Bay!

I was at the Oakley Store today and they were playing on the big screen a special 3min preview of TF3 in 3D. They had their own 3D Oakley sunglasses and they let us put them on and watch. It was really cool. Looking forward to it!

Even you gotta admit you walked right into it. Besides, if he's able to top RotF and work out what some people saw as kinks in the film then you just might be saying that in a non-snarky context.

I admit, I'm liking what I've seen so far aside from the Sam/Carly bit. The truth of the movie's quality remains to be seen however. So far I've liked 50% of Movie 1, 0% of Movie 2, and I'm holding out hope for this final offering.

I'm full of positive thoughts, ya know.

For me the first film was too all over the place plotwise and very slow to start while RotF was trying to tell too big a story in not enough time. My only worry about DotM is that it'll have both problems since it seems like a more complex plot and also try to fit in an epic Decepticon invasion and Autobot counterattack in there, and also has loads of characters (one of RotF's faults in my eyes was too many characters, leading to not enough development).

However I still liked both films, and have high hopes for the third regardless. Even if it's not perfect, if it can entertain me that's what matters.

As long as the grotty dogsecks and other assorted toilet humour stay far away, I'll be happy enough. Shockwave alone has already given me something to like about the movie.

Then again I'm not sure if the 3D glasses can be worn atop normal glasses. Hence why I'm sticking to the 2D version.

3D glasses can be worn over normal glasses with no problems, but despite all the hype, the 3D effect adds nothing at all to movies and at best makes the visual detail harder to perceive. In my opinion, of course.

Eh, not big loss. If the movie's still good the dimensions don't bother me.

*facepalm*

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't rate films, they display the average scores based on all reviews. There scores aren't biased to Warner Bros, that's the most ridiculous thing I've read in a while...

No, they don't rate the films. But they can chose which critics get to speak their mind. A little money in the right places after that and they've got good scores for WB films on the site.
