Three mediocre human actors kill time before the robot attacks in new Transformers: Dark of the Moon clip.

Not much to offer here.  The only reason this clip is noteworthy is because it is the first time we've seen Rosie Hunginton-Whiteley do anything other than cower in fear and/or stand and look sultry.  She even speaks one or two expositional lines! Of course, the big question remains: Will critics automatically assume that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a better actress than Megan Fox because of her British accent?  Either way, Patrick Dempsey is at his Scream 3 worst, leaving us to hope that John Malkovich and Frances McDormand pick up the pre-robot invasion slack for the first 2/3 of the movie.

  1. Ah, it's unbearable. I have had doubts this man, excuse me, boy (Shia) could act. This is a hot iron branding him as a repetative mediocre line reader. Please, God, let this be the last of the Transformers Travisty Trilogy!
    Scott, funny to mention Scream 3 in the article since Ehren Kruger was responsible for destrying the third in that series as well. Not to point fingers but he "teamed up" with Kurtzman and Orcci to write Transformers 2.
