Sci-Fi Action
Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Patrick Dempsey, Josh Duhhamel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Not horrible. Not great. Better than the second (which let's face it, wasn't hard). Not as good as the first. The story took FOREVER to get set up and the fight/action scenes were far TOO LONG.
If you are still reading, here is what I thought of the acting...Patrick Dempsey was an interesting pick as a villain, but I will say, he did a decent job in that role. Shia played his character in his usual panicky way and there is one girly scream of his that got some major laughs. And the new girlfriend, played by Huntington-Whiteley, was a far better actress than Megan Fox.
The one thing we liked about this movie was the presence that Chicago made in it. Since we had seen the filming throughout the last year, our reaction to many of the scenes was, "This is what we saw filming on Wacker Dr!" or "That's the old post office on the river!"
We paid $15 a ticket to see this in 3D. The movie wasn't worth that for sure, but the previews we saw made up for it - The Change Up, Captain America, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. All which we will see in theaters.
Reel Recommendation: If you live in Chicago, its worth renting. Otherwise, don't bother.
