The Avengers teaser trailer leaked...

It has quickly become a known thing that the recent Marvel movies always have a after the credits movie clip that all hint and poke at the upcoming 2012 "Avengers" movie.
With Captain America finally out in theaters and the origin story's of all are Avengers finally complete, all that was left was a teaser for the actual Avengers movie.
Now, if your like me and have absolutely NO self control when it comes to not waiting to actually see the after the credits stuff in the Theater... then behold!
If your NOT like me, you have been warned! Leaked Avenger's teaser trailer below.
Looking good so far... not really too much to go on... but it looks like it's gonna be alot of fun from what they did show. Please Marvel... Don't let me down. I'm really pulling for this movie.

Transformers 3:Dark of the Moon

I had absolutely NO intentions of seeing this movie in theater... more or less in 3D... but certain circumstances put me in the theater with those stupid glasses on.
To my surprise the 3D was actually really good... wasn't gimmicky at all, very subtle and overall pretty damn impressive. The thing that made me really happy was that the 3D wasn't gimmicky, so when it does eventually hit DVD/Blu-ray it's not going to look like the viewer is missing something because there are 2D objects flying at the screen for no apparent reason... basically saying to the viewer "shoulda seen me in theater 3D"... it can be watched and enjoyed either way... Standard it's a GREAT popcorn flick and alot of fun, then in 3D it add's a whole new layer of depth and fun to the movie.
The CGI was fantastic as per usual to a Bay film, nothing new there.
The movie just felt like it had a much better pace to it this time around... as it should seeing as the movie clocks in at over 2 hours and 30 minutes long.
The movie overall was alot of fun and easily the strongest of the 3 films.
The NASA stock footage of Apollo 13 was a great/welcome addition giving the movie a more realistic and important feel.
All the good aside, this movie is plagued with the EXACT same problems as it's older siblings. The Transformers end up becoming a side note in there own movie. The movie almost completely focuses on Micheal Bay's ongoing and ever growing hard on for the U.S. Military and the handful of stars.
A Transformers movie should be about the fucking TRANSFORMERS, not about Sam and his awkward parents and the military guys swinging there dicks around seeing who's is bigger.
All that being said... The movie isn't THAT bad... not great... but not terrible like "Revenge of the Fallen"...
If your a fan of the Bay-Transformers, then this is an absolute can't miss because this is easily the best/strongest of the 3... if your not a fan and just plain can't stand Bay's adaptation of the Autobots, then don't bother, it will be just more of the same for you.

Also, Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime was actually pretty fucking awesome.

I give Transformers 3:Dark of the Moon a solid 8 out of 10.
Great action, impressive CGI, amazing voice acting (Peter Cullen, Leonard Nimoy and Hugo Weaving) and an hour long none stop all out Transformers battle in the middle of the city at the end... epic.
On the other hand, the movie is plagued with alot of the same problems as it's predecessors (just not as extreme), The Transformers once again seem to be upstaged by humans in there own movie and there are 2 very annoying robots in this movie YET AGAIN.

Battleship the movie?

You sunk my Battleship! A movie based on a boardgame that has absolutely nothing to do with the board game. Seeing as Battleship really didn't have much along the lines of the story to begin with, I guess it was only natural to make it about aliens... or, wait I have a better Idea... DON'T FUCKING MAKE IT AT ALL!
First it was books to movie, then video games to movies, then super hero's to movie, now it's boardgames to movie? Hollywood has really sunken to a new low if this is the new trend.
