Its the internet. Everything is either "the best ever" or "the worst ever".
I don't buy for a minute that Shockwave is the main villain. Its misinformation. Its gotta be Unicron, since its the last movie.
Looking forward to the reboot from another director, where the film is an 80's period piece (hey I can dream can't I?)
Whatever Paramount decides to do with their cash cow Transformers franchise, one thing is for sure: Michael Bay's third film will be an end to the story he set out to tell.
"This one really builds to a final crescendo," Bay told USA Today. "It's not three multiple endings... As a trilogy, it really ends. [The franchise] could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending."
The director also revealed who the villain is. Ready? It's Shockwave, the one-eyed overseer of Cybertron whose toy turned into a wicked purple laser canon thing.
As for the plot? "The new film features Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime." (It's better than saving the world with a gym sock full of Matrix glitter while racist robots look on...)
Through this story, a mystery of sorts emerges, as TF3 centers around the "space race between Russia and the U.S.", while implying that the Transformers played a hidden role in mankind's first exploration of the galaxy. Does that mean that we might get to see Astrotrain in live-action form?
USA Today is quick to point out that in the last two films, Optimus, Megatron and Sam have all died and pulled a Lazarus act. But producer di Bonaventura assures audiences that dead is dead this time around.
And fanboys, try not to faint - but yes, despite initial reluctance on Bay's part, Transformers 3D is happening.
Optimus Prime and his fellow Autobots will roll out in 3D July 1, 2011.
What are they gonna do about what's her faces character? Kill her off? and replace her with the model?
Megan Fox, who played Mikaela, was dropped just before shooting, so LaBeouf's character also has a new love interest, played by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

as much as you might really want a big all out villain like unicron, there is a fair chance that Bay just doesn't like the villain
