Moviegoers cold-shoulder critics to make Transformers: Dark of the Moon the third biggest 3-day opener of all time

We’re getting that Friday feeling once more, and the gloves are off! Fuelling the fires of incoherent webRAGE this week, it’s none other than Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise. Two of our lady writers will be getting their claws out and putting their bitchy faces on as they battle it out! Who will you be rooting for?

Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise is like marmite: you either love it, or hate it. Admiration for these films may or may not come from being an ultimate sci-fi geek, but one thing’s for sure Transformers: Dark of the Moon sure does know how to get your various lubricative juices flowing (a mechanical pun in case you wondered. Wash out your crude minds!)

With the release of Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon so, so nearly here, we take a look at some of the best moments from the epic, destiny-ridden films of movie maestro Michael Bay

Not even Shia LaBeouf, and he cares about Megan Fox’s arse LOADS.

Common sense prevails?

Why aren’t films of video games ever good? Because the boys in the back room are adapting the wrong goshdarned games, that’s why! We’ve consumed eighty-six thousand Doritos and worn out nine pairs of tracksuit bottoms doing the research for this list: the definitive top 10 games that must be brought to the silver screen.

What do you expect from a Michael Bay film? Ridiculous action? Slow-motion? Orange skies when there really shouldn’t be any? What about horribly crude stereotypes? Bring it.

Live long, and try not to rust.

I don’t know about you, but we’re hoping for really crummy weather this summer. Rain, sleet, fog and whatever else God’s got in his “let’s piss them right off” bag; it’s the only way that we won’t feel guilty about spending the entire time at the cinema. A lot of heavy hitters are coming our way in summer 2011, so give up on your tan (lets be honest, you’ve been a lost cause from the start) and throw away any sunny specs that aren’t 3D compatible – it’s cinema summer checklist time.
