Movie adaptations are tricky things. While they lose much of the characterization and cinematic quality of the real thing, they may also be able to better translate the vision. The third Transformer film has both occurring in this graphic tale. One the one hand, the novelization streamlines the 3-hour long cinematic affair into a digestable chunk. On the other, the loss of transitional sequences and forced pacing leave one wondering where the majority of the film has gone. Overall, an ok companion but no substitute for the real thing.

This comic was pretty honorable to the movie even though I am reviewing this piece almost 3 years since first seeing the movie and more than a year since finishing the graphic novel.

I wrote down the date I finished it and whenever I got the time to write the review.

Yep - just as bad as the movie was. Maybe worse given the inconsistent art.
