Shia LaBeouf: 'I'm Not Coming Back' to 'Transformers'

It looks like 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' will be the last for Shia LaBeouf.

According to MTV, the resident bad boy has completed his run with robots. He's starred in all three of the franchise's films, which have all proved to be blockbuster hits, but when asked at the MTV Movie Awards last week if this would be his last, he said "For sure, I'm not coming back to do another one. I don't think [director, Michael Bay] will either."

Yet, the ever-so-confident star is not foolish enough to think that if he and Bay walk away from the film that the whole franchise will call it quits.

"It still is a hot property, I think, especially coming out of the third one. So I imagine they'll reboot it at some point with someone else." But LaBeouf won't walk away and never look back, "You have an onus in it. I'll enjoy it. I'll go [see it] opening night, I'll be there. But there is a disconnect. It's mine, dude."

LaBeouf's take on the third film is nothing short of spectacular. He gushed about how 'Dark of the Moon' is the best movie they've made.

"It's not a joke. I'm dead honest, man. I get myself in trouble all the time, but this is our best installment. It's our best movie." He continued, "It's the best action, in terms of the geography. In the second one, you get confused as to who's fighting who and where you are, because it's such a big landscape. This one is 'Black Hawk Down'-ish. It's one location, and the geography is simple to understand."

LaBeouf is joined by Tyrese Gibson, John Malkovich and Ken Jeong in the third 'Transformers' installment, set for release on June 29.

It's not that, after a few sequals, some actors just don't want to be typecasted. Just because Hugh Jackman has been Logan in all 5 X-men movies doesn't mean all other actors want to play the same character for franchise films. Shai wants to move on, let him move on. He's not acting like a spoiled actor, he wants to go work on other films.

I think it's great he is saying no. This is when we start seeing poor acting from actors. Glad to see someone say "Let's see what else I can do" rather than take the paycheck and do a lousy job for it.

Why is everyone giving him crap for this decision? Not everyone wants to be like Brendan Frasier and do every single movie. He's made his money, now he wants to do other things. There's nothing wrong with that. I would have felt differently years ago, but I saw an interview with George Clooney that changed my opinion of some actors. I thought Ocean's 12 was a crappy movie and wondered why he would even do it. In his interview, he said sometimes you have to do the movies you don't want to, so you can do the ones you want. He signed on for the Ocean's movies specifically so he would be able to do movies like Syriana, Good Night and Good Luck, and Michael Clayton. It renewed my faith that he wasn't just doing crappy movies for the cash. So cut Shia some slack, maybe he actually has some integrity.

How about stop acting altogether! This wimp is so lame, he sucked in Wall Street and in Indiana Jones. He looks like he still gets his lunch money stolen
