es buena, mejor que la anterior, pero falta algo para llegar al mismo nivel de la primera. banda sonora de Dios como sus entregas anteriores. efectos especiales de maravilla. las actuaciones no son de las mejores pero son aceptables.

I'll say this... This movie is truly awful. It would be safe to say that this is my least favorite movie of all time. Not only because of the truly horrendous plot, but also Shia Leboufs complete over-acting and horrible dialogue. All I can say is that Michael Bay tried really hard to make it more serious of a movie than what it was, and he should of focused on the fact that it's a silk about robots ripping each other to pieces. But honestly, don't even spend any of your time on this film, because you will be severely disappointed… Expand

Your are not going to get anything out of this movie. Besides some cool action scenes, this movie offers nothing but a generic plo, annoying characters, and forced comedy. At least it's not as offensive as the second movie.

Definitely better than Revenge of the Fallen but still not good enough. The only good part was the last 30-45 minutes with an epic battle. This movie took too long to get going so an average performance from Micheal Bay.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Iniziano bene e finiscono male" A.C. quello che si può dire del terzo capitolo della saga di Transformers.
E' un film che stata tutta una corsa, doveva iniziare e subito finire, una "minestra" di eventi che ha, secondo me, rovinato il film e la saga che lo ha preceduto; per non bastare, i registi hanno il vizio, direttamente o indirettamente di cambiare i personaggi. La bella e brava attrice Megan Fox (Mikaela Banes) sostituita dalla Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Carly Brooks Spencer) la prima "gnocca" che capita che brava solo a mostrare le gambe e non ha il talento della nostra amata Fox.
Il mio voto non può superare l' 1/10...il regista ha rovinato il sogno di un sognatore e ora vorrebbe fare il quarto capitolo per cercare di farlo continuare, ma il fatto che mi sono svegliato e del sogno rimasto solo il vuoto.… Expand

I gave it a 6 because it lost points for length and flow, I though it was too long and there were some unnecessary scenes, dragging plot, etc; and it lost points for lack of diversity. The same cast of autobots are there. I would have liked to have seen some new, more hardcore, born in the 80s type of fan pleasing characters like Jetstream. In 3 movies, he hasn't appeared... oh well. Anyway... it was fun! Good rental for a Friday night with friends when you just want to watch a movie and not take it too seriously.… Expand

The action has improved from the second movie, and it's not as annoying overall, but it still feels like it was made for 10 year olds. It can be fun, but from a story perspective it's brain dead. Some of the plot twists are idiotic, and it lacks a true sense of grandeur like the first movie had. It overloads on c.g.i. way too often, the robots seriously need to shut up, and when it's over it's over. Nothing truly lingers beyond the running time. There's nothing to think or feel about. An impressive action scene or two can't give a movie a soul, or a good story, or a brain. Like I said, it's not as bombastic as the second movie, but if Bay's going to keep milking this cash cow, (and we all know he will), he should seriously look at the first movie again, and see what he did there. Not that it was a masterpiece, but it was good. This one however, I can't truly call good. Ok is more like it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the last live action Transformers movie; for now at least, and it's obvious to say that this one is better than the last one. After the hate the last one got from pretty much everybody, I guess Bay decided not to muck up his next as much. I mean don't get me wrong, none these three movies are really that good. This one is entertaining and less offensive than the last one. For starters no twin robots, that's a positive in my book. Okay so I'm tired of the racist stuff about them, I think they're racist stereotypes, but I just hate them because they were so fricking annoying in that last one. Anyways back to this film, the only offensive stereotype to come out of this movie is probably that Asian guy who was in the Hangover. Action in this movie; obviously, is great to look at, but at times bring up questions. Like, how does shockwave drive that worm thing? Where do these new autobots come from? Why were Decepticons hiding on the moon for so long? And why do transformers have to be involved in Chernobyl? That's the main problem with this movie; of course that's debatable, that while all the action and spectacles are occurring, it causes much more questions. I could give any less care for the main character, I grown tired of him, so I don't even care. The new girlfriend however is a bit better, not by much, but at least isn't as bad as that last chick was. There's nothing much to talk about with this one, it made a lot of money, but what else is new!… Expand

Nimoy is clearly doing his best and gives a fantastic performance as Sentinal Prime. The visuals are just breathtaking at points and gorgeous. But that's it! Other than those two things, the movie is utter garbage. It rehashes everything from the previous movies. There is no real focus on any character and doing anything to really develop them (aside from Optimus.) Sam is as annoying as ever in all his LaBeouf-ness. New hot girl is bland and uninteresting (but at least slightly better than Megan Fox.) The rest of the cast is forgettable and are really just there as plot devises. The overall story is nonsensical and most of the time seems to just make up its own logic, Transformers 1 & 2 did this too, but nowhere near as much as this movie. Overall: This is a movie that was designed to be an optical marvel and really is nothing more than an insult to fans and the general public. In short: It's the movie equivalent of a gold-plated turd.… Expand

Unfortunately, it does little to make up for the shallow characters, bad acting and horrible plot. Megatron declares himself supreme ruler of Earth even though humans are technologically advanced with access to nuclear weapons. He only seems to have only enough troops to take over New York. Everyone is OK with this and they send the Autobots away on a rocket. No problem, they were hiding in the highly explosive rocket booster and they landed safely somewhere in the Atlantic ocean. The Autobots manage to get all the way to Manhatten in 30 minutes even though they're 1000 miles away and they can only transform into GM vehicles. Now we have half a dozen renegade robot heroes who all know karate and can win the war with Megatron by punching and kicking them to death. Humans already discovered in the last movie that you can take out a Decepticon with three grenades and no one seems to have a few naval ships handy with a couple of guided missiles. Not even the Obama White House is that incompetent. Let's not forget that a couple of 20 yr old college kids always seem to get top secret information without any clearance. I'm sorry, but the movie is just plain stupid!… Expand

The cinematography and action sequences were really good (though not as good as the first two which I'll get to later) and the acting (minus Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) was also really good. However, this movie just lacked everything else from the prior films. For one, it felt like there was a major disconnect in continuity and this is largely due to Megan Fox's absence. I know a lot of people hate on Fox and claim that she's not a good actress but she is 10 times the caliber actress that Huntington-Whiteley is. Her relationship with Shia LaBeouf's character felt so forced and lacked any authenticity whatsoever that it killed a lot of the character dynamic. The dialogue was also kind of mediocre. There was none of that witty humor that provided a lot of laughs in the first two. And this movie should be used as Exhibit A for why NOT to use 3D in films. Instead of just having naturally flowing action that looks and feels awesome, Michael Bay felt the need, for some reason, to randomly include slow-motion sequences during fights that felt nothing but cheesy. The worst part about the movie though was the plot. It was kind of stupid to be completely honest and it didn't develop well at all. Lastly, I don't think anyone could put it better than Tyrese's character did towards the end when he said, "Why do the Decepticons always get the good **** Seriously, why? It's like, the Autobots are all stuck with the same generic technology while in each movie the Decepticons have major leaps in tech and that's just ridiculous. Overall, this movie was entertaining to watch from an action-movie perspective because you get a lot of cool explosions and whatnot but it was not all that good of a film in general. Honestly, it just felt like a cash-in and if they make a 4th (rumored for 2014) then it will probably be a joke. This was an unfortunate butchering of what could've become an epic saga.… Expand

The con's, on the other hand, are far more pervasive to serious movie critics. Shia Labeouf serves as nothing more then a snot nosed punk with no relevance to the story in any coherent sense, with his costars doing little more then delivering one liners and doing nothing of significance. I'll even go as far to say that Michael Bay only has people acting in the film is that it would be too expensive to do a movie exclusively focusing on the transformers. The plot is simple and you know where its going and how it ends. but then again, i think the point of this film is to just try and enjoy the actions sequences.

That being said, I still watch this movie purely for the action and CGI effects, both of which are excellent. But as a fan of the original animated series, the simple fact that Optimus Prime went from a pacifistic natural leader to a frenzied killing machine in the span of a single scene angered me to no end.

Dark of the Moon starts impressively, taking its initial story from a Transformers novel, where the US moon landings and space race are explained to be a front to investigate a Transformers ship that has crashed on the dark side of the moon. It transpires that the Russians obtained a Transformer energy source from the crash site and began experiments with it at Chernobyl with disastrous consequences. Grounding the beginning of the film in this historical context is the strongest point of all three Transformer films. However, as soon as the initial story is set and the screenplay of Ehren Kruger takes over, starting with the appearance of Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf), the film descends into familiar territory.

Cue another weak script for the same bunch of characters, Special Agent Simmons (John Turturo), Lennox (Josh Duhamel), Epps, (Tyrese) and what was not great but occasionally amusing the first time becomes annoying the third time around. Megan Fox is not present this time and the script throws some barbs in her direction. Her replacement is posh Brit Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who ticks all the aesthetic boxes Bay must have been looking for in a replacement but provides nothing more. Cameos from John Malkovich and Ken Jeong provide some fresh humour in places.

Despite the criticism that Revenge of the Fallen was bloated, Dark of the Moon clocks in at just over two and a half hours and is far, far too long. I have no problems with long films, I have sat through Apocalypse Now and Once Upon a Time in America many times but for an action film with a cheesy script it is completely unnecessary.

I couldn't help compare the films main protagonist, Sentinel (voiced by Leonard Nimoy), with the Fallen from the previous film in that both were characters from Cybertron's past, re-activated and brought to Earth as part of the Decepticon's plans.

Visually the action looks amazing again, in particular the scenes on the freeway and with the falling skyscraper but it has all been seen before. The film culminates in another huge battle between the Transformers set against a different cityscape (Chicago this time) that feels oh so familiar.

By giving Dark of the Moon 5 out of 10, it made me realise I was too kind to Revenge of the Fallen.… Expand

Silly performances, loud cheesy action, and sometimes just stupid dialogue excuse anything in this movie from actually being serious. Yet the special effects are first class. I give this movie 22%.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How did they get so many great actors to work in this POS? Good acting all around accept for the female who's scenes need fast forwarding. I made it 45 minutes in before I realized another 45 or so of the same garbage was pointless and turned it off. I'll give 1 point for great animations, 1 point for good acting (despite horrible scripts), and 1 point because its sci-fi and robots. Otherwise, garbage all the way. --- --- What really turned me off, was when the lead actor (does the name matter?) refuses to cut off his hand to save the world, but thinks nothing of killing himself and all his friends in a vain and logically futile attempt to save the girlfriend. So the hero turns out to be a selfish @hole. Then, US Army and Airforce somehow manage to infiltrate the enemy's captured Chicago, but for some reason the combined Earth a military's can't get a single nuke within detonation radius of the city. --- --- Typical liberal Hollywood whose ideal heroes fall so dreadfully short of true heroism. --- --- Turns my stomach as I turn it off.… Expand

Stop ruining what you adapt! You adapted the attack on Pearl Harbor into a failure of a love story and a waste of talent making a bad ruined out of that event, and the first Transformers was good but Revenge of the Fallen ruined the perfect image of Transformers though as I said, Dark of the Moon was better than Revenge of the Fallen and the Transformers characters relate enough to the TV series, but the story was still poor. You ruin the history of Pearl Harbor, and now you ruin the history of Transformers. Stop scarring your career as a director with your movie failures and THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING! Stop miscasting actors and hire better writers and visual effects artists! Also, why the hell did you miscast Patrick Dempsey? Now you've scarred his career as an actor.… Expand

Sometimes, the film awkwardly tries to be funny at points, but very occasionally, you get a very small amount of laughter. The story-line is more thought out, in basic terms: it had a better and more interesting plot. The action was more intense and the dialogue was a bit better than the first and second's. I want to give an eight, but it doesn't quite deserve it, I recommend watching it either if you kind of like the old transformers show and toys or if you like exciting action movies.… Expand

Thiz one is the third movie followingIf most of the girls go crazy about THE TWILIGHT SAGA (2008-2012), I think it is totally OK if the boys have their own toys as well! All the boys need is insanely super cool robots and sexy girls. Thiz one is the third movie following TRANSFORMERS (2007) and TRASNFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN (2009). The story still revolves around Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his new super sexy girlfriend Carly Spencer (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). Thiz time, they have to deal with the mysterious origin of Autobots and Decepticons which later takes them to a hidden fact when Apollo 11 landed on dark side of the moon 42 years ago. The movie featuring a real hero of that historical event, the second person who had ever landed on moon, Edwin Buzz Aldrin. The Director is still Michael Bay. I aware that Michael Bay always has a young spirit as it has shown in every of his films, even in his war movie like PEARL HARBOR (2001). But I also have to say most of his movies are always filled with exaggerated brainless actions and comically overacted characters like in BAD BOYS (1995), THE ROCK (1996) and ARMAGEDDON (1998). If not because of Steven Spielberg involvement as Executive Producer that contributes a lot of technical elements, I think thiz would have been a very easily forgotten movie. Yes, the details of Special Effects are incredible. It is very clear that the main attraction is on its robots. The Autobots comprises the famous yellow Camaro called Bumblebee alongside with Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Dino, Brains, Wheelie and the leader Optimus Prime, all are back in action to fight for freedom. And the villainous side named Decepticon which comprises Starscream, Shockwave, Soundwave, Laserbeak and the head Megatron that still dreams of tyranny. The robots are voiced by some notable Actors such as Hugo Weaving as Megatron and Star Trek Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime. Thiz is one of the very rare cases in which the robots act better than the Actors itself. All actors are drawn to be unnecessary comical characters without exception include John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey, John Turturro, Frances McDormand, Ken Jeong and Tyrese Gibson. For the model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, she has the same color of lipstick and hair, it does not mean that she can instantly replace Megan Fox character. You can see she is there only to provide the visual pleasure, not acting. Julie White repeats her overacted performance as Sam mother, you can see that is one of the ugliest actings of all-time I have ever seen. Sam character is not lovable at all. I do not know what Shia LaBeouf thinks when he delivers such a character. You can see he is just a jerk with amazingly gorgeous girlfriend beside him. He looks so **** and egoistic by always yelling and swearing during the entire film. It comes to my mind, maybe they need to get rid all of the human characters in next films, and let the robots deal with their conflicts, just like what we had in original animated TV series THE TRANSFORMERS in 1984 to 1987. Thiz movie has shown that was one step back for the Actors and one giant leap for the robots.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, the movie can be a disaster, but the truth is that yeah is better than the second part, but is a really large and some boring. I'm started for the story, I think that is excellent, and the time to do all the story is good, but the problem is the development of the story, in some parts much action, in other really stupid lines, and after most action and explosions, same like the other two movies of the saga. Now the cast, is regular, the performance of Shia LaBeouf is same, like the insoportable teenager now adult, the characters of John Turturro and John Malkovich be the worst of the movie, and is awesome, because the two are a great actors, but the terrible direction of Michael Bay do that this 2 characters look like a stupids, the soldiers, Tyrese, Duhamel and the rest have same moments like the other two films of the franchise and this is boring, Rosie, I think that she have a terrible performance, but no, not is excellent but be okay, Patrick Dempsey and Frances McDormad are really excellent selection of the cast, their performances are okay, and finally, please tell me what is the reason to put in the movie Ken Jeong? one of the worst actors of all the world, the only good that he do in the film is the scene when he was killed, but his characters is poor and really terrible. Now the screenplay, is very regular, have some problems, and is boring, I think that a better development do a better result, but no. The effects are amazing, the 3D is spectacular, is awesome, the details of the autobots and decepticons are awesome, I don't have problem with this. Finally the direction on Bay, I think that he have the incorrect job, he need work in the effects, because are awesome, but his direction is poor, and terrible. Other point that I wanna say is about the music, is supreme, and no, I don't talk about the soundtrack [that is cool], I'm talk about the score, is awesome and incredible. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a decent result, that could be better, the terrible development and some performances are bad, the only great are the effects, soundtrack and score. Is entertaining and any more.… Expand

I did however find it difficult to argue with people on how Revenge of the fallen turned out and how disappointing the movie was. But Michael Bay has been able to turn it around and create a movie that was as good as the first one. The 3D affects were amazing and the action was excellent. Michael and the writers were able to incorporate an actual story this time around that actually did make sense, even though there were times were it would break away from the story, which didn't disappoint to much as it was interesting to break away from the plot and see what else was going on. I felt that they did an excellent job of bring more emotion into this movie than the others which is great. If I had only one criticism, is the fact that I didn't like the acting of, new to the big screen, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley which I felt struggled with showing her emotions and overall acting as good as Shia LeBueof. Dark of the moon is the best out of the 3 and doesn't disappoint action fans.… Expand

Effects aside, the film has little to legitimately recommend about it-- Malkovich as Sam's boss and serial weirdo Ken Jeong as a 'learned in the field of what nefarious robots go after' co-worker are entertaining in throwaway roles, however it's obvious they only signed on for the money as there is little in the way of genuine quality in the screenplay.… Expand

I enjoyed it as a silly popcorn flick and I liked it as much as the first Transformers film (though Transformers 1 is still better). The story is easy to follow, the action is less nausiating, it is less juvenile (no decepticon scrotum, dog humping robot or John Turturro's ass, thank god), and any scene with Optimus kicking ass is great but it still has problems that made Transformers 2 bad. Shia La Beouf as Sam Witwicky is extremely annoying, overtly whiny and can't act to save himself, his parents are excrutiatingly painful as ever, the girlfriend, though ridiculously hot, is very unrealistic and is only in the movie for fan service and her lips are so big, she outlips Angelina Jolie, most of the human characters are boring and uninteresting, the tone is very inconsistent and it's too damn long. If they just cut out most of the scenes with humans and jusf focus on the robots, it would've been a great CG action flick but it focuses too much on the humans, particularly on Sam whining about his crappy life even though he has a smoking hot girlfriend, an Ivy league education and many job offers. I wish his parents was written out because they have nothing to do in the movie other than just being a pain in the ass. There are some entertaining human characters like John Malkovich as Sam's boss and Alan Tudyk as a John Turturro's flamboyant secretary named Dutch, who has many different sets of skills. What's his story? I am more interested in this character than Sam. Overall, I enjoyed it. Not a good movie by all means but its a good popcorn film.… Expand

We have learned that over the years, & "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is no exception. Michael Bay's 1st half of this 3rd chapter seemed promising, the story was a little slow but it started to connect little by little. The comedy was a little over the top, but pretty funny I have to admit. This time around, "Sam Witwicky" (Shia LaBeouf) is in a new relationship with his new girlfriend "Carly" (super model Rosie Huntington - Whiteley). Sam feels belittled by his own ego & the fact that he still doesn't have a job, while his girlfriend has a very good job & has taken the role of provider for him. The man she works for is "Dylan" played by (Patrick Dempsey) a very rich yet mysterious man. Up to this point everything seems to be flowing. Optimus Prime finds out that we the humans have kept things from the "Autobots" here on earth, it seems that our mission to the moon back in the 60's was more than we "humans" thought it was. The mission was never about the moon, but what was hidden on it. A powerful being named "Sentinel Prime" he was the key to this chapter, I won't go into spoilers. Again up to this point it's flowing, it's what happens after they find this being, that totally **** this story & film up. It goes from being rather good to very bad in a matter of minutes. Here we go, 1st of all the story gets ruined 1/2 way into the film. 2nd, the film is way too **** long, like way too long. My brother & I figured we could of edited at least 40 to 45 minutes of unnecessary footage. Made the film 2 hours long, instead of the whopping 2 hrs 40+ minutes. It was just very prolonged, which brings us to my 3rd complaint. Not enough action, this is a sequel therefore action sequences are a must, specially in a Michael Bay film. I felt the film was just badly edited, it didn't flow right, in some parts it was right down boring. Now I can't go into too much detail without ruining the film for you. What I will say is that everything that leads up to the final battle in downtown Chicago, is just a **** tease. The battle really never takes flight, the "Autobots" seemed tired & just not what you'd expect. The star of the entire trilogy "Optimus Prime" was nowhere to be found 2/3 of the fight. This film was just too much blah - blah - blah, not enough action & not enough "Optimus". Michael Bay really **** this one up, but the good news is this will be his last take on "Transformers". The one thing I learned from this film is if you're gonna make a bad film, don't make it long in duration. For you just not only piss off your audience, you bore them as well. Thanks a lot, Mr. Bay.… Expand

Also the acting wasnt as good as the previous film and easily the worst its been in the series. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a terrible replacement for Megan Fox because not only is she less attractive but Megan is a far better actress then her (and that is saying something).

This film also relied super heavy on special effects. Yes I know its a Michael Bay film but the effects were at an all time high for this film. The end result was really boring and stale (you have seen it once you have seen it a thousand times is what im trying to get at).

The film was rather boring and didnt have the excitement the previous films had. The run time makes you suffer through the film longer then you have too and Michael Bay really drags on these scenes to their fullest (rather annoying). These signs all point towards ending the series because it simply doesnt have that spark anymore.… Expand

I knew going into this what it would be and it was EXACTLY what I suspected. How's that supposed to entertain me? It's not because there's no plot either. I guess I'm not childish enough to believe in these life size skating, twirling things anymore.… Expand

I was forced into seeing itMichael Bay makes another terrible attempt at a good movie, I'm starting to think he's not even trying. This movie was at least better than the second installment in the never ending death penalty of a trilogy. I was forced into seeing it with my friends and wish I had just stayed out of it. The acting is good and the special effects are great, I must admit, but the storyline and plot of the movie and the characters are terrible and I just didn't care about them. There was no feeling in them and if they lived or died, I didn't care. At times, I thought maybe it would be better if they did. The movie is terrible and so is the director and almost anything is better than the Transformers series.… Expand

Essentially this unnecessary third installment of the Transformers series simply recycles and reuses everything from the past two films and becomes a cliche in itself. Keep the Autobots vs. Decepticon rivalry. Keep the cliched ending. KeepEssentially this unnecessary third installment of the Transformers series simply recycles and reuses everything from the past two films and becomes a cliche in itself.

Keep the "girl runs away, only to come back" routine, but simply exchange Megan Fox with another attractive girl who can't act (Rosei Huntignton-Whitley). Leave many questions unanswered: Why did Mikalea break up with Sam? How exactly did Sam and Carly come to be together? Then steal the central plot line from Superman Returns. Press play, sit down for 2.5 hours (much, much, much too long), and enjoy the few moments of actual robot violence (they come sparingly and not until after the first hour).… Expand

Everything about this was horrible including the acting, directing, and writing. The only good thing was the action but I don't even like action. This franchise just keeps getting worst and worst by the movie. Why does this make so much money? I know why because spoiled Americans don't know what a good movie is. It is marketed towards kids and teenagers so you can tell that it's going to be bad before it even hits theaters. Michael Bay is going to be remembered for a long time as the worst directer in history. Who directs there actors to scream every ten seconds? The acting is also not even the least bit serious with people jumping around and doing things I never seen done on screen before. The directing of the camera man was also horrible. There where shots that cut off the top of actors heads and there where shots that I have never seen before. The writing was also very horrible. Even a 12 year old could have written this. But the worst part of it all I would have to say is the fast paced plot. The only good thing about this film is the special effects and the 3D. I would recommend this film to selfish greedy die hard capitalists.… Expand

Michael Bay bombards us with mediocrity once again. Just like "Revenge of the Fallen" the characters are worthless, the jokes are bad, and the action scenes are too long and repetitive. Granted, this time around the movie does try to take itself a little more seriously. Gone are the racist robots and the constant kid jokes. But saying this is better than "Revenge of the Fallen" is like saying "I Am Number Four" was a better movie than "Battlefield Earth." Michael Bay lowered the bar so much with "Revenge of the Fallen" that he really has nowhere to go but up on this one. The final action scene does have its cool moments, but the action is poorly staged and way too long. I felt like I could have watched the beginning of the action scene, left the theater for 10 minutes, come back and not missed a thing. It's one of those action scenes that's impressive for the first 5 minutes before it overstays its welcome and stays at the same level. I guess if you liked "Revenge of the Fallen," you'll enjoy this as well. It's the same movie with a few improvements. But if you felt like Michael Bay grabbed the money out of your wallet the second time around, stay away from this. You're going to have the exact same experience.… Expand

I have read many reviews saying it was the greatest 3-D experience since Avatar but unfortunately I cannot confirm nor deny this. I'm considerably more upset by my decision mainly because there is very little else ground-breaking or 'epic' about this film, but first the redeeming features. Much like the previous entries, this is arguably one of the most visually stunning movies in recent memory, from half collapsing building set pieces to the location of Chicago for much of its finale, but the greatest beauty of this feature is the shape-shifting robots that are the Transformers, forget the boring homosapiens that take up far too much screen time, why can't these guys BE the movie, the fights, the movement, the shift from motor to robot is a visual joy to behold (apart from the apparent inclusion of blood, which seems grossly out of place) and the bare knuckle fights between the autobots and er...autobots ( you'll see). Unfortunately this movie suffered from the Bayesque syndrome that had plagued the previous installments, weak acting from the consistently annoying Shia LaBeouf, an under-achieving debut from Rosie Huntington-Whitely and silly uncalled for cameos from John Malkovich and the Hangover's Ken Jeong. The plot is exasperating as ever with an over abundance on Pink Floyd references to coincide with the films title, far too many pointless scenes, such as the returning Simmons new assistant in a bar fight ( what was the point) because bearing in mind this film Is 155mins long. You owe to yourself to watch the latest installment, it is a vast improvement on the second, the visually stunning set pieces and transformers themselves are marvelllous in their own right, but the movie gets dragged down deeply by the boring human story and needless moments to drag out the film.… Expand

I couldIt's ironic that a movie should include its intended target audience in its title, because I can't fathom how anyone with half a brain could like this bloated, over-the-top, cliched, terribly, terribly acted atrocious mess of a film. I could not actually finish this film, because about half way though, Shia and whoever the hell the lead actress is, their "acting" was seriously starting to get on my nerves, as was Michael Bay's repetitive formula of "action, action, action, action, cliched action movie lines delivered woodenly, action, action, action". How the hell Leonard Nimoy was roped into this I'll never know, and Steven Spielberg himself had absolutely nothing to do with this movie, he just had his name slapped onto it.

This film does not deserve to be in the Top 10 best sellers of all time, it doesn't even deserve to be in the Top 1,000. This movie should have been buried 12 feet under the ground, and left to rot. The only reason this movie was a success is the same reason Nickelback are successful; they're so formulated they don't require you to think, at all, and that's a very bold statement coming from me. I normally scoff at people who say things like that, but seriously, when you watch this travesty of a film you see how little you really have to work. Someone should tell film makers, and especially the half-wit that directed this atrocious abortion of a film that action scene after action scene is extremely tedious and boring, because they should be used to enhance the film, and not become the film. Michael Bay, you need counselling. You need to be told what a good film is. You admitted that you knew Transformers 2 was the pile of steaming horse **** that it was, and what did you go and do? Make a film that was even worse. All in all, badly edited, terribly, awfully acted, no coherent plot, no depth, no character threads, nothing. This film is just a big, bloated nothing. If you're going to watch this film, then sure as **** don't pay for this thing, find it online somewhere. I guarantee, you pay for this to buy or rent, and you've definitely wasted your money. Thankfully, this will be the last ballache of a film that Bay releases in this franchise, so it can be buried and forgotten as quickly as possible, or perhaps remembered as one of cinema's most embarrassingly awful moments.… Expand

The CGI is brilliant and some **** amazing Autobot-Decepticon action sequences are featured throughout, the plot line is really quite simple but it does draw you in quite effectively, with plenty of "**** **** did not see that coming" moments and an abundance of 'edge-of-your-seat' anticipation moments that really help get you emotionally connected with the characters (my favourite Autobot died during the first half and a universal favourite...I won't spoil this, but there's certainly a very intense moment with Bumblebee, but I won't tell you how it concludes) the actors are brilliant with plenty of big Hollywood names playing both major and minor roles, good and bad, the dialogue is hilarious and the characters are loveable and engaging. The final showdown is everything that it should be and more (it's not Optimus vs. Megatron, although that does happen) and Sam finally gets some real action, being responsible for the destruction of one of the Decepticon high-ups. I do have three complaints. One-The opening sequence that explains the conspiracy behind the moon-landing, it does drone on for a fair while and features a particularly horrible JFK impersonator. Two- Skids and Mudflap are gone! I know that some people found them offensive, but i found them hilarious, and I think they told the first crude joke that my dad has ever laughed at, which was something of a magical moment for me, the least they could have done was kill them off early on alongside my favourite transformer. Three- The Optimus vs. Megatron showdown takes about ten seconds, granted, the previous battle was the big one that everyone wanted to see by that time, but I guess it all comes down to the fact that since RotF, Megatron has been portrayed as a weak-ass **** and that's one thing that I will not forgive this movie for. Ultimately, this is a must-watch, with a brilliant plot to suck you in coupled with kick-ass moments of **** dude, ****s about to go down, **** **** **** and brilliantly choreographed action sequences. Better than any film in regards to action, but I still prefer the original movie when it comes to plot, but all-in-all, if you're looking for a perfectly balanced mix of Drama, Action, Comedy, Plot and CGI-Epicness, you can't ignore this movie… Expand

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.

But Transformers(animated) was like this . that was so wide and actually focused on the different Transformers and more about them . there are more awesome Transformers out there and lot of awesome fighting techniques which were missing . Now acting...... Rosie Rosie Rosie ! She is one of my favorite VS angels ! i was so excited to see her reprising Fox ! i think she did good(as first time) a lot better then Fox (of course) . Siha was more down then the last film as well as josh(i really like his acting but not in this one) . Patrick Dempsey was good but John Turturro was awesome . as for the voice actors there's nothing to say they are the best of the best .really like Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime. i actually loved the V.effects and transformations it was much more clear and awesome then the last two . Overall it was the best entry but still i expected more .
as i said at fast im a huge fan so i would love to see more films but i want to see a Reboot and with good story about Transformers not some kid and military . [P.S. Rating will show 7 but its actually 6.8 !]… Expand

When I saw that movie I saw it for what it was. An awesome visual eye-candy fest, and that's what the Transformers movies are; films that are fun for how great they look, and I actually felt that that was lacking here. Yes the last forty five minutes are ridiculous and crazy, but that's pretty much it, aside from the Chernobyl bit. What we got was basically an hour and a half of Shia Laboeuf looking for a job, then forty five minutes of robots kicking ass. What I wanted to do was forgot about anything that resembled a plot, and just immerse myself in the VISUAL genius of Michael Bay, but I couldn't because there is just some awful butchering of cinema culture by the screenplay and story. For example I can't focus Shia Laboeuf being swung around holding onto a wire latched onto the eye of a massive decepticon in a flurry of wildly unrealistic, dumb fun, because my mind keeps on going back to the worthlessness of John Malkovich's
role in the movie. Lot's of people say that Michael Bay is a bad director, but when they see his films their complaint is usually the plot and script, but what you have to keep in mind is that he doesn't write his films. Ehren Kruger (the writer of scream 3(an abomination)) wrote this not him. There was actually decent directing in this film but it was ruined by that horrible script.… Expand

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

My friend may have been offended by the above and askedI wrote a racist 'poem' and my skype status read: "i'm sorry, it is not you, it was that **** movie, i say **** and kykes and call **** dykes but transformers 3 has truly offended me!" My friend may have been offended by the above and asked me why? I think he likes the movie. I replied: "do you have a spare hour or two? i'll tell you. [15:27:23] calum: leaving aside the obvious lack of knowledge about the Transformers universe, Sentinel Prime (Alpha Trion) [Optimus Prime's Father] {Played by Leonard Nimoy, Galvatron, aka future Megatron} being but one glaring example. The whole use of the word race in general, both that it is used, when in reality the concept is imaginary, to refer to a whole species of robots is absurd. There is no real life proof that 'races' differ in any meaningful way besides minor ecological and geographical adaptations and evolutionary differences like my long thin nose to pick a rather vulgar example, which clearly changed from my African forefathers due to their migration to colder climates, thus allowing the more efficient heating of the air inhaled, to avoid hypothermia with the minor drawback of restricting the flow of air and thus reducing the amount that can be inhaled compared to those in warmer lands. In the movie however, race is used to define all of the transformers, their 'race' being what defines them and what they are fighting for the survival of. Also, the whole undertone of self sacrifice for ones 'race' or even planet, in the case of the humans, i find particularly disturbing as it glorifies suicide terrorism and our feeble attempt to combat such violence in kind. That isn't the morality that i grew up with in the 1980's. The Autobots would never and as far as I can remember, didn't kill anything. Let alone all the decepticons, and in the case of the usually docile and slow to anger Optimus, his own father, mentor and also a helpless and surrendering Megatron. It is this that got Prime killed in the very faithful, if a little market led Japanese Movie 'The Movie'. The Prime I know would never kill in cold blood, but then the Autobots are now an analogy for our brave and noble troops, who often are forced to murder, but Prime chooses this, so even as an example to the military, remembering this is a kids movie and not a rally cry, is still a rather disturbing moral example to set. The best performance was given by the CGI animators, but again, seemed more akin to the brutal comic books than the toys or cartoons with gratuitous dismemberment aplenty. The acting sucked, the script was worse and the director, it would appear is a racist facist homophobic **** Unless this movie is a true representation of the American worldview it can only be seen as, at best, a shameless marketing tool to sell toys with no thought given to it's content by it's creators and at worst a tasteless racist recruitment video for the so called 'war on terror'. The answer to terror it would have you believe is the merciless and complete destruction of ones enemies with no thought given to negotiation or understanding. And why the **** is Shockwave a giant snake with a separate dude that doesn't even talk and never turns into a laser gun? If any racial language used herein is offensive to you it is not intended as you can see above I don't even give the term 'race' legitimacy. Why? Because there is no such thing, simple. If you think you might be of a different 'race' to someone else or if the use of possibly offensive racial language perturbs you then it is because you are identifying yourself that way. If no ones a race, no one gets offended. Which is good because we are not and therefore we shouldn't. The word is used wrongly by most people to differentiate and in this movie, I guess they are using it well to refer to a species, eg the human race, or the cybertronian race. But it is still the wrong word, despite it's arguably accurate usage. So yeah, that's what offended me. Sure people believe in race, sure it isn't real, even surer everyone alive is racist, it is common sence to fear the unknown or the threat posed to the local womenfolk by a swarthy genetically more suitable rival. But when making a movie for kids, who should never be lied to, being so blatantly ignorant and misleading is in my opinion, unforgivable. In fact after watching the movie, i have a good mind to go and shoot all the dirty jews that made it in the head, even if they beg, like Optimus! Megatron is my inspiration no more! His feeble mercy is for the weak! Autobots, transform and kill em all!" So yeah, don't even pirate this filthy waste of bandwidth unless you... Nah, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.… Expand

Wow, "Dark of the Moon" really sucked! I Never thought that it would be worse then "Revenge of the Fallen", and it was. Special effects were top notch as usual, as was the robot fighting, but the story was beyond awful. It was like theyWow, "Dark of the Moon" really sucked! I Never thought that it would be worse then "Revenge of the Fallen", and it was. Special effects were top notch as usual, as was the robot fighting, but the story was beyond awful. It was like they pulled it out of their ass the day of filming to explain the bad-ass special effects. I at least thought "Revenge of the Fallen" was somewhat entertaining despite the bad storyline, but this one couldn't even do that for me! I really hope this is the end of the franchise, because it went from really good to this!

Special Effects: Awesome!
Robot Storyline: Terrible!
Human Storyline: God Awful! Even worse then "Revenge of the Fallen"! (And that's bad)!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finally went and saw Transformers Dark of the Moon last night. Kinda put it off for a while because I **** hated the second one and this didn't seem much better. But uh, finally got bored and went, this summer's been awful as far as good video games go. They're saving up all the big releases for the fall and holiday season. Here's my thoughts, with spoilers. Though really, this film is so dumb it's not the sort of thing you can spoil. -The story here is taken from the comics and the cartoon. When the Autobots leave in a giant ark that blows up, it's from Dreamwave's first storyline in their Transformers comic. And of course, the Decepticons using a space bridge to transport Cybertron to earth is "The Ultimate Doom" episode from the G1 cartoon. So... no real complaints there, them using the actual source material is a welcome change as they've pretty much butchered everything else up to this point.

-Who the hell is Q? He's some Autobot scientist that has hair? Why would transformers have hair? And how come I've never heard of Q before? I've watched the cartoon and read the comics and the character of Q, autobot scientist, never came to my attention before. Wait a minute. Q, that's the name of the gadget scientist that equips James Bond in every Bond film, isn't it? Is that what Bay is going for here, ripping off James Bond? Why the **** did he do that? The Autobots already have Ratchet and Wheeljack in the cartoons to outfit them with gear, there was no reason to make up some new lame character.

-The comic relief, terrible as it is, comes from the two small robots Wheels and Brains. I'm not sure if Wheels is still voiced by Steve Buscemi but he sounds slightly different. Anyways, these two stupid characters are awful and try their darnedest to remind you of Skids and Mudflap from the second film. They might not be quite as racially offensive, but it's a near thing. Even viewing them without the racial stereotypes, they're just plain annoying as hell and contribute nothing else to the film. Also, Brains for some inexplicable reason has troll doll hair on his head. Again, why would Transformers have hair? These are robots.

-Shia LaBeouf screams and acts like a **** idiot. This does not make him a good protagonist.

-The comedy in this film is bizarre and off-putting, in other words... typical Bay. Ken Jeong of course has to straddle Shia LaBeouf in a restroom stall and call himself "Deep Wang." Of course he does. Of course Bay finds this funny. In fact, this is almost the exact same scenario that Bay gave us in The Island, where it was Steve Buscemi with Ewan McGregor. An unsuspecting innocent walks in on them and thinks they're gay lovers. I'm not saying this sort of situation is unimaginably lacking in comedic value, but the over-the-top manner that Jeong acts just made me feel so embarrassed and disgusted for humanity that the possibility of humor never arrived. Ken Jeong, man, he needs to try and think up some new schtick, because it's just getting old. Cringeworthy comedy is not necessarily a bad thing but it didn't work for me here.

-With the way Michael Bay shoots her, Rosie Huntington-Whitely is not nearly as ugly as she looked in some promo stills. However... her acting sucks and she's still not as attractive as Megan Fox.

-Optimus Prime appears to be a murderous psychopath. I'm not even sure if he's better then the Decepticons. "We'll kill them all." "Let's find out." Whatever happened to the Optimus Prime from the cartoon? That's the one that us kids all looked up to. The Optimus Prime here is either wimpering for his life or slicing and dicing everything in sight like a cold-blooded murderer. We bounce around from one extreme to the other, never quite coming into harmonious alignment with Peter Cullen's majestic and inspiring voice, perfect as always. Don't get me wrong, his voice is great, just not what he's made to say in that voice.

-Optimus is also equipped with his trailer now, which is an improvement over the past films which always had him trailer-less. Here, it finally completes his vehicle profile and also serves a useful purpose as his equipment locker and battle station.

-Why would the Decepticons use humans to rebuild Cybertron? How does that even work? Human slaves are going to be starving and beaten, how are they going to be able to rebuild a totally alien mechanical planet? The Cybertronians are highly advanced technological beings, right? How would 6 billion humans know how to repair this advanced technological planet? Hell, 4 billion humans on earth probably don't even have access to wikipedia yet. I mean, if you want human slaves to build ancient pyramids by dragging giant blocks up ramps, I guess we could probably do that. But I imagine Cybertron has completely alien and sophisticated systems that make up its structure.… Expand

I swear, I liked the first 20 minutes, and the animation and effects were awesome, but when both the clichÃ© ''human badass'' actors came in, it just ruined it to me.
