Transformers 3: Less Action, More Emotion?

Ah

Well, now that we're off topic, I might as well add...








... I like pie.

trouble is, and I don't want to be accused of flogging a dead horse here, but what emotion was present in the first two films wasn't conveyed in anything like an interesting, engaging, convincing or even well acted way, from the "leads". Sorry but if you're batting with a team of left handed players you don't insist they bat right handed.

Give Fox and Labeuf the dialogue they can actually perform and give this "it's a comic drama" rubbish a rest. They can't convey the dialogue convincingly and those scenes jar quite profoundly from the action sequences, which very few people can argue Bay has difficulty directing (beyond his obsession with shaky cam).

With a more proficient cast I'd say go for it, even out a plank of wood like Sarah Michelle Geller, you managed to get a convincing mix of pathos and humour from time to time, but NOT Megan Fox - she has two modes, vamp and half asleep.

In the first film, you feel a bit of emotion when S7 captures Bumblebee and Sam's doing everything he can to futily protect him.

In the second film, I never had any of those feelings at all, which is why it's regretably an inferior film to the first.

IF...and I do mean if...Bay can somehow bring in a few more scenes that can wrest a couple of emotions for longer than 5 seconds in the third film, I can't help but think it'll be all the better for it.

That clip of Optimus in the second, giving the big speech to the humans in the begining, THAT was actually good. A great mood. That was the one time where I felt that Optimus had be done right. So much of the rest sucked, but there was at least that.
