This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, I must say that this movie was not as good or better than the first (4.5/5) was far superior to the notoriously bad sequel (and Worst Picture winner) known to many as "Revenge of the Fallen", or "TF2" (2/5).
Â
Now, lets decrypt this film so that we may know the good and the bad;
Â
BAD
The script by Ehren Kruger was poor. The dialogue and cheesy and unnecessary one-liners (Optimus while flying: I'M COMING TO SAVE YOU! from 1000 meters away) are abundant here, but this is a "Transformers" film, but it still seemed to have slight resemblances to RotF, which it was said it would try to stay away from. Its not bad, but it sort of degrades the quality a tad bit, preventing it from being on-par with the first. Rosie Huntington-Whitley's acting in the film was poor as well, but that was expected, especially since she was probably just picked straight out of a Victoria's Secret magazine, especially since she models for them and was chosen just to look pretty and just have a big sign on her forehead saying, "HEY GUYS, I'M REPLACING MEGAN FOX!". She was the only really "bad" actor I witnessed throughout the film. Comment if you wish to try to educate me about everything else.
Â
GOOD
Well, the humor of the first is back (no fart/ball/weed/kid jokes, mainly the type of humor from the first), and it was actually enjoyable instead of stupid like the second (and Sam's parents are slightly restrained also, participating only in the first half). The score is excellent, reminding me a little of the "Inception" score a bit, and Michael Bay did an awesome job directing the action sequences (my favorite part was when the paratroopers jumped out of the planes and flew through the city to find Decepticons to fight), but not very well with the plot scenes (although it was slightly more coherent than TF2).
Â
Also, the last hour of the movie, which starts with the climax of the brutal destruction of Chicago and DC (Megatron destroys the Lincoln Memorial and sits upon his throne, which I found somewhat ironic), and ends when the long battle is over, especially in 3D, makes up for the gaping flaws.
Â
FINAL VERDICT
Compared the the first, its only average, but compared to the second, its like the first. It was a bit cliche at the beginning and the end, but the last hour makes up for some of it. I would give it a 3/5 (a B-), but I'll amp it up to a 3.5 just because it met my expectations.
Â
It was some good fun, and the 3D is quite good. See it while the gas prices are down.
Â
GRADE: B (3 and a half stars out of 5, 7 out of 10)… Expand

No doubt making this movie after the writers' strike, instead of during it (like Transformers 2), has had a big impact on its quality. There is, of course, a general lack of character depth when it comes to the robots that has been present throughout all three films. Other media, such as the cartoons and the comics, have provided much more in this area and it is quite a letdown that we don't get to see more characters behind these robots. My eyes were overjoyed with a camera that was less shaky than the last movie. I felt as though I could actually tell what was going on. Actions scenes were more abundant than I normally care for, but their pacing and execution were impeccable. Having been filmed in 3D (in a way similar to Avatar) the 3D effects were well placed and were rarely used in any gimmicky fashion. The comedy was much more sparse this movie and much of what was there seemed far less forced or contrived than in Transformers 2. It just seemed to make sense why one thing or another was funny. I sometimes felt like the movie was trying to forcibly tell me what was funny, but this didn't happen very often. The plot was filled with twist after twist that kept the movie rolling right along and kept the action in perspective. A few aspects of the Transformers movie storyline have been retconned (rewritten after the fact) to fit the plot of this new movie. Few will notice these changes, but rest assured, they make the story work a lot better. I rarely go see a movie twice, in theaters, and this movie may end up being one of those rare occasions.… Expand

This movie is just amazing! Awesome explosions and action scenes! This movie is just all you expect from Michael Bay and more! I have to say that this is the best Transformers movie! It surpasses the first by just a little but beats the disappointing second instalment by a long way! This is Michael Bay's best film since The Rock! Why? Well with this Transformers movie this one actually gets it right with the human characters. The Transformers movies have always been about the robots and have totally ignored the humans but this time Michael seems to have given the humans some emotion. Which is a good thing for it makes the script pretty decent in my opinion. And this also makes you feel something when a character dies in the film. This bit contains spoilers so if you don't want the movie to get spoiled for you then don't read the next sentence. For those who don't mind if the movie gets spoiled are you still here? Good. The following Transformers die in this movie. Ironhide, Que/Wheeljack, Sentinel Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, Soundwave, Laserbreak/Laserbeak and Barricade. Yeah Barricade. That Transformer that turned into a police car and the one that was in the first movie but disappeared half way through and never came back in the second one. Yeah that one. He's in this movie. And he finally officially dies. No more conspiracy theories I guess! So to get to the bottom of it a few of the Autobots die but all of the Deceptecons die. Right guys who didn't read the huge spoiler you can come back now. Right so here's all the good points about the movie. It has great special effects and fighting sequences and has proper human characters this time round so both robots and humans can share emotions. Now here's the bad stuff. The jokes can be a bit boring and annoying sometimes so the humour still isn't all that great but it is way better than the second. So as a result this movie gets a 9/10 for having amazing and great action sequences but has a bit of boring humour. So that's my review for Transformers: Dark of the Moon and I hope you liked it!… Expand

This movie was the best 3D since Avatar. Maybe better, time will tell. Megan Fox missing helps. Rose is so much hotter and with the English accent, helps cover the bad acting, cause lets face it, if Paul Walker was British he'd be a descent actor.

The action scenes remain some of the best in the business, with the battle for Chicago worth the price of admission alone. The problem with this movie, like its predecessors, is the plot. While the plot in Dark of the Moon is much, much better than ROTF, it still is not good enough for Transformers to be considered "great" movies. overall, Transformers gives you exactly what you would expect: big robots knocking the crap out of each other, and that isn't a bad thing at all. This movie is the perfect summer action flick, but not a movie you need to see multiple times… Expand

They must seriously be paid to rip on Michael Bay or an actual good movie. This movie was absolutely amazing and i recall one of the critics even said 'this is a mindlessnaction film about robots fighting each other and knocking each others heads off' um are you serious, yu do know what the title of the movie was before you watched the movie right, because if you didnt, it was TRANSFORMERS! Thats what Tranaformers is all about, the ongoing battle between the autobots and the decepticons, or as you say it, robots knocking each others heads off. Now onto the movie. I am a diehard Transformers fan, except i only wish i grew up with it, im only 18 years old but i own all of the seasons of the original g1 series, and have seen all of the episodes, and i own ALOT of the transformers figures too, i love transformers and i loved this movie. It had everything in it. Their was mindblowing action, stunning cgi/visuals, and im sure the moronic critics will disagree when i say their was an excellent story going back to original launch of apollo 11, it even included original footage of the landing, how cool is that. Their were so many detailed plots intertwined into this action extravaganza. From sams relationship, to his neverending struggle to find a job, to the space race of the 60's, to decepticons destroying the human race! Their was just so much to this film it was unbelievable. I was in love with this film from the exciting beginning all the way, 2 and a half amazing hours later to the pulse-pounding ending. Their was even some good acting in this movie, not oscar worthy but good enough to get the job done. I was even proud of the job newcoming actress and beautiful victorias secret model Rosie Huntington Whiteley did in this film. At first i thought it would be annoying with nor seeing Megan Fox in the film anymore but that was gotten over real fast, plus, we can all admit that neither her nor Rosie were in the film to make an oscar worthy acting performance, they were there for their incredibly good looks and nothing else. The second film was still good in my opion even though it didnt have a script and the screenplay was written in a rushed 3 months during the writers strike, but yes it wasnt the best film ever created but this new and hopefully not final addition to the franchise is by a million miles better than the first and second film combined in all aspects pf the word. Michael Bay did an absolutely amazing job with this film. Their was the action, and ALOT of it, ther was the eye candy aka Rosie, their were the stunning visual effects which are definitely oscar worthy, Michael Bay did himself justice by using James Camerons technology for this movie and he did a great job with it. Their was alot of comedy in this film, especially from Sams little autobot companion Brains, but the biggest part of this film was the emotion. Their was an utterly HUGE amount of emotion in this film, i felt excited, i felt happy, i felt energized and pumped, i felt shocked and i felt sadness, from multiple parts in the film which i wont go into because i dont want to give anything away but this new edition the Transformers franchise was a massive success. Michael Bay did damn good. Neverr have i been so excited for a film and come out so pleased from it. I hope anyone who reads this will listen to what i say and nothing of what tbe critics say. This was entertainment at its best. I have already seen this film twice now, the promo on monday and the midnight premiere 4 hours ago. I enoued it so much i plan on seeing it as many more times as i can. This was the definition of an epic summer blockbuster, Transformers style. Epic characters+Epic battles=Epic movie. Their is no doubt in my mind that Transformers: Dark of the Moon deserves 10/10 stars, of i could give it more i would in a heartbeat, definitely go see this movie because it is worth every penny of the ticket price. Not only saying this because im a diehard Transformers fan but because i know how to enjoy a good movie unlike the uptight and highly unnecessarily negative critics. My favorite film of all time, thank you Michael Bay for a successful and very entertaining trilogy.… Expand

Michael Bay continues to live on as one of the greatest directors ever known when he joined to turn the toy franchise into a worldwide phenomenon. The first transformers was, in my opinion, an epic film and the sequel "Revenge of the Fallen"Michael Bay continues to live on as one of the greatest directors ever known when he joined to turn the toy franchise into a worldwide phenomenon. The first transformers was, in my opinion, an epic film and the sequel "Revenge of the Fallen" was, also in my opinion, almost as good as the first, but at least it was still entertaining. Now, it turns out that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is Michael Bay's final installment of the series (as we already know it) and I think it's actually the right the same plot that we already know about.

While Sam now works for the Washington DC with his new girlfriend, he and the Autobots learn that a Cybertronian spacecraft is hidden on the Moon and with that in hand, the Decepticons plan to use its secrets and power to bring Cybertron to Earth. With emotional conflicts and fateful sacrifices being made, the Autobots and the humans have another (and presumably) final battle against the Decepticons as you've never seen it before.

Now that we already know what the plot was about, I'll go to my opinion. The only problem that I had with this movie was the pacing. In the first few minutes of the film, it seems well fast-paced, but near the end of the film, it seems to be very slow. That's it for the bad.

Everything else turned out great. The action and the CGI effects were impressive once again (seriously, you have no idea when am I going to stop saying that), the acting was entertaining and the science keeps you interested in what's going as most sci-fi action films do. The music score by Steve Jablonsky was amazing and very emotional and the comedy was very hilarious.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is almost as good as the first, but just like the previous installment, it was still very entertaining.

Little known fact: Whether or not a fourth Transformers film would be made, Michael Bay states that he won't be directing it, so it turns out that Steven Spielberg would be directing it. I mean, hey. At least he was the producer of the first two films, so I guess that would be good.

Long story short, it is amazing and it's worth seeing and if the critics hate it, they'll have to deal with Michael Bay himself.

Its a summer popcorn movie & should be taken as such. Michael Bay has adjusted his directing style a little & slowed it down to allow for the 3D so the pace is a little slower now & the action easier to make out as the camera steps back a bit to let you see the action from a distance.

All the acting is fine really nothing to complain about its passable as the actors are treating it for what it is non serious summer sci-fi entertainment. Humour is juvenile but quite funny in places. Story is more defined than TF2. Action & CGI is all top notch as you would expect.

Overall if you want a fun to watch summer popcorn blockbuster this is the movie for you if you liked TF1 then you will like TF3. If you do not like Michael Bay movies then nothing here will change your mind but I think most audiences know beforehand what to expect & here Bay delivers in his final Transformers movie (it wraps the story up so does not demand another installment anyway....).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WARNING: THIS REVIEW IS A SPOILER REVIEW. DO NOT TAKE A PEEK AT THIS REVIEW IF YOU DON'T WANT THE MOVIE BLOWN FOR YOU. Well whatever, this review needs to start. Note that i saw the movie in 2D, but I loved TF3! I am not a transformers fanatic, yet i thought the movie was a great comeback from the poor Revenge of the Fallen failure. This movie had many pros and only two cons. Some of the pros include: The CGI and special effects, getting rid of the black stereotype twins, (having) emotion, Shia LeBouf being an OK actor, and it is a movie for anyone (except a critic). When Optimus Prime was killing Shockwave, everyone in the theater was clapping and cheering, and none of them were major Transformers fans.
Now for the cons: The first con was, again, a poor plot, like the other movies. Now the other major problem was that there will not be another movie due to all of the Decepticons and a few Autobots getting killed off. Here's a list of all of the transformers deaths in the movie:
Ironhide (Killed by Sentinel Prime)
Megatron (Killed by Optimus Prime)
Starscream (Killed by Sam)
Shockwave (Killed off by Optimus, damaged by humans)
Soundwave (Killed by Bumblebee)
Sentinel Prime (Damaged by Megatron, killed off by Optimus Prime
Wheeljack (Killed by Barricade)
Barricade (Damaged by Bumblebee, killed by humans)
Lazerbeak (Killed by Sam)
Longhaul (Killed by Optimus Prime)
A s***load of protoforms (Killed by Autobots. Mostly killed by Wheelie and Brains)
Wheelie and Brains (Commited suicide to save world by crashing alien ship)
Hachet (Killed by Mirage)
Crankcase (Killed by Ironhide)
and Crowbar (Killed by i think Optimus Prime)

I still found it crazy to let Sentinel Prime betray the Autobots in the beginning of the movie.
Overall, great movie.… Expand

I actually really enjoyed this movie. The critics need to lighten up. Nothing like some classic action and some quality humor. It was a fine time at the movies.

I went to see dark of the moon on the day before it was released i had alot of high hopes on the movie, I had seen Revenge of the fallen and unlike alot of other fans I had enjojed the movie ,i enjoyed the humor and the story had someI went to see dark of the moon on the day before it was released i had alot of high hopes on the movie, I had seen Revenge of the fallen and unlike alot of other fans I had enjojed the movie ,i enjoyed the humor and the story had some problems like all movies that come out these days. but over all it was a great movie ,specailly when you take a look at the movie made 0ver 110 milloin dollar more then the revenge of the fallen. 1st of all any movie that makes 110 milloin more the the 1st transformers can't be that bad...so how bad could it have been. As a fan you must admit the movie had the best specail effects that have been out there in years ,the story was good and who cares about Megan fox the othere girl did a good job , I did have a few things that bothered me Like when I ron hide dead there should have beeen some type of word brougth up from prime about the death of his friend seems like at the end of the movie when Prime is about to blow off sentail's head he should have said something about this is for my freind he killed ,that wold have been a great thing to due ,to me there was no emotion from them about his death. i know that when you see a movie over and over you can find many mistakes but thats the nature of the beast,it a movie for all of us to enjoy and Mike Bay did a great job on that you I would like to think that we should thank him for that. I like to see another one but I just don't see how........... but hollywood always finds away and when a movie like this make when it finishes the movie run it will make $ close to a billion dollars world wide it has already broke the record for the fastest 500 million mark at only 9 days so we all know that abiullion is in reach ,it has not been released in Japan or china yet,think about 700 million movie profit that dose not include blue ray movies ,rentals toys and all that other toy items, all should enjoy it for what its worth and the hell with the cridects who know nothing,,, long live OPTIMUS PRIME AND COMPANY

The plot is not hard to follow and you get to see giant robots and lots of stuff get blowed up. What else do you need? My only complaint is the over emphasis on Shia Lebouf's character which I really don't want to hear about in a movie titled Transformers. Michael Bay's sweeping camera shots and tendency for overindulgence got really annoying about 5 movies ago so you will be subject to more of it you're not a fan of his style. Pick up the blu-ray and grab some popcorn. Contrary to the critics complaints about this movie, the only way you won't follow along with the plot is if you are an idiot, or if you just have the predetermined opinion about the movie that you are just not going to like it. It seems that many of the critics were just dying to look down upon this film from the highest perch they could climb on to.… Expand

This was a amazing movie, this is better than all the other transformer movies and although it doesnt really have a plot it has some amazing action scenes. If you like action you should watch this but if you want a story, this movie doesnt have one.

This movie was non-stop fun! The action was epic, the characters were not annoying like they were in the 2nd film, and although it's a long movie, it does not feel like a long movie!

Major Improvement Over 2
Dark Of The Moon still has a fairly sloppy script and some stupid moments here and there, But it is a HUGE improvement over Revenge Of The Fallen with a F*CKING AMAZING 3rd act.

"The latest and I'm pretty sure the final installment of the Transformers series is no doubt way better than the crappy-extra-retarded Revenge of the Fallen." *There was 10 of us that went and most of us had a good time while the rest was"The latest and I'm pretty sure the final installment of the Transformers series is no doubt way better than the crappy-extra-retarded Revenge of the Fallen." *There was 10 of us that went and most of us had a good time while the rest was just tired-pissed. The Transformers series are famously known for overblown-overlong-mindless action sequences and this latest offering has it except we actually, finally know what they are fighting for and at (just look for the robots with red eyes then you'll know its a Decepticon). The Storyline: 6.0
Its easy to follow and the characters back up the story with a little more information, info. well hidden in Ken Jeong's crotch area. For about an hour and a half, there are a few action pieces but mostly involves trying to figure out whats going on and if the resurrection of Sentinel Prime had any significance to what happened on the moon. Then there is Mr. Sam Witwicky, who is desperately striving to find a job that would support him and his girlfriend Carly Spenser (Rosie Huntington Whiteley) while trying to impress Mr. Gould (Patrick Dempsey) and his always crazy parents (Julie White and Kevin Dunn). Visuals: 9.0
If you can blame Michael Bay for the reasons why you go to his movies, I believe there are two reasons. Number 1: The assembled cast and the strikingly beautiful hottie that just stares into space and all we see is the glimpse of her glowing physique/body. Number 2: The BOOMS and the BAMS and the huge-ass robots with their huge-ass guns. Seriously, we all go because of his special effects and I will say this "It's Amazing in a Technical Scale." The Best use of 3-D I'd ever seen since Avatar. Cast and Performances: 5.0
It's completely serviceable. I mean, you know its Transformers and not some sort of Oscar-worthy contender (unless if the Oscars nominates them for their Visuals) Shia La Beouf seems to be on crack. He was kind of into his role especially when he has a new girl nearby but he just looks depressed. (In Revenge of the Fallen, he told Bumble Bee to get the hell out of his garage and now he wants him back because he wants to impress his girlfriend's boss. Somebody diagnose him with Attention Deficit Disorder). *He does deserve a slap, Carly didn't deserve all that crap. Rosie Huntington Whiteley is the female star chick of the show and she's quite charming. Megan Fox on the other hand is a bad-ass girl with a sexy attitude but Rosie is like the clean-cream girl who seems to fit Sam at the moment. She isn't the grandest performer though but not bad for a first time. The other characters are still the same except Tyrese Gibson's character is retired and Josh Duhamel still hasn't gotten any calls from his wife. John Malkovich is the crazy boss with a yellow-obsession and crazy hair. Ken Jeong is as funny as ever...yeah right. Other characters include Frances Mcdormand "no mame", Alan Tudyk (Dutch), Patrick Dempsey (the boy that loved to play with the bad side) and let us not forget Mr. One Man Alone (John Turturro) Overall. 7.0
It definitely has the best visuals and jaw-dropping scenes like the skyscraper and the story is way better this time around.… Expand

By W. Leung Saturday, 24 2011

Giant robots, exotic cars, and sexy woman, Michael Bay's Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, produced in June 29, 2011, is an action packed with stunning visual effects movie.

Since this is the final chapter of this Transformers movie trilogy, Michael Bay seek to conclude the stories with the last two movies and produces a fascinating ending of this series. The length of the movie is 157 minutes, which is the longest one in the series.

Unlike other computer graphics movie, Transformers movie series is based on long life TV animation starting in 1984, which was created by Hasbro and Takara Tomy. The series is about two races of aliensâ… Expand

The action was amazing as well as the effects. I'm honestly sick and tired of these so called critics. If you have to go to school to tell me a movie was good or not then you didn't know how to enjoy a movie in the first place. That goes to you user reviewers to that are trying to sound like them and make a name for yourself on these reviews. Stop going into movie and dissecting it for real life situations and logic. Its a movie about giant alien robots and your are looking for perfect logic!? Put a cardboard box over your head with the front cut out and walk around wal-mart, would that be real enough for you? Sit down, shut up, and enjoy the movie cause it really is good. The numbers don't lie.… Expand

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a much needed improvement over the previous film. The story is convoluted at times and the acting still isn't the best, but this film isn't filled with really dumb humor or racist robots.
