The big question in Hollywood right now is whether or not Michael Bay’s third foray into the world of Transformers will actually be a good movie, rather than two-plus hours of explosions and casual racism. Shia LaBeouf seems to think so, but we’ve yet to see anything that would prove it to us, and these new pics from a reader at AICN won’t change that.

It’s a small set of pics, only three new shots, but you get the point. There’s going to be a lot of shit blowing up in this movie, no doubt about it. Two of these pictures show of a massive fireworks display flipping cop cars over; the third, a really creepy shot of Michael Bay and another crew member, you can see at AICN.

Here are two of the pics from reader Bethesdacamel, as well as his description of his encounter with the film.

Here are two low-res pics from an action scene they filmed last night and one of Michael Bay walking around. The filming took place on Pennsylvania Ave. with the Capitol in the background. A big crash-car rescue vehicle flanked by two police SUVs (Decepticons, I assume) sped towards some police cars and soldiers. The Decepticons screeched to a halt where I'm sure they will transform on screen, and stuff started exploding and guns started firing. 30 seconds of action all-in-all, but certainly worth the three hour wait.
