‘People Like Us’ Review

By

2007’s “Transformers” was an exciting action film with a good, human story to go with it. After seeing “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” two years later I never wanted to watch another Autobot vs. Decepticon battle. But Paramount decided the world needed a third “Transformers” film even though most critics and moviegoers hated the sequel. […]
