This third blockbuster based on the shape-shifting Transformers toys is everything fans expect. There are bigger explosions, more spectacular special effects and a new girlfriend, in the shape of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for Shia LaBeouf's hero, Sam Witwicky.

He's plunged into another titanic robot war with his good-guy Autobot pals against the evil Decepticons, who are plotting more mayhem on Earth.

The awesome, eye-popping, jaw-dropping action makes up for any flimsy deficiencies in the plot department and John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and John Turturro provide classy supporting turns.
