A kid overexcited to see the Transformer Cosplayer. Two weeks ago, the third sequel to the Hollywood blockbuster Transformers, entitled "Dark of the Moon," was released in theaters all over the country. The movie obtained the award of being the second-largest opening of all time on its first weekend worldwide, making $382 million, just behind that of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million). To date, the movie made a total of $645 million.

Being someone that was a kid in the 80's and 90's, Hasbro's enjoyable cartoon of robots transforming to vehicles was something that stuck to us during that time (together with the ThunderCats and He-Man). Seeing them come to life on the movie screen was something exciting for my generation. In the last movie, however, I kind of found it too long. Don't get me wrong, it was nice with all the action sequences and explosions, but watching it for almost 3 hours just makes the viewer a bit weary, constantly asking him/herself, "when is this going to end?" Nevertheless, if you want bang for your buck and if you have 3 hours to spare, this is a movie worth watching (just a side comment: that was an awkward way of getting rid of Megan Fox).
