Early Press Go Bonkers for Transformers: Dark of the Moon Footage
Gotcha! They're all actual quotes. (ANSWERS: 1. HitFix, 2. Slashfilm, 3. MTV, 4. Entertainment Weekly, 5. Michael Bay himself.) And with the exception of Bay's sorta-defense of Transformers 2, they come straight from the keyboards of well-known online writers who surely brought with them a healthy skepticism following the last Transformers sequel -- as everyone will when Dark of the Moon opens July 1. (In fairness, click on links below for each site's full take on the material shown.)
So will Dark of the Moon actually make the right corrections to the franchise with what sounds like a more mature, even more destructive action adventure -- in 3-D? Your chance to start seeing for yourself is night, as the first trailer is set to play in 2-D in front of Fast Five and in 3-D attached to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

/Film doesn't have too much credibility when it comes to Transformers and at least 3 of those sites listed above are geek-sites. No one questioned the visuals it's the terrible writing, borderline racism, and stupid comedy that was the downfall.
I thought that 3D porno was from Hong Kong...
Uh, I question the visuals. The action is nearly impossible to follow in the other ones, and they are two ugly movies from a visual perspective. Well, every perspective really. Michael Bay may shoot action worse than any major director, so it's an extra shame that his movies do so well.
I should have specified I meant the visual effects. But I'm in complete agreement with you otherwise.
