the action was ok, and the robots were ok, but the movie makes very much rookie mistakes. Michael Bay should really learn how to make interesting characters.

However, the plot does not seem to agree with what has happened in the first movie, and certain outcomes and events are unexplained. You could tell the robots apart if you watch closely enough. The car chase at D.C. and Mexican Standoff were impressive. Fun to see Buzz Aldrin make an appearance as himself. Also includes some real-life footage of Apollo 11.

Plot is well written, with some flaws here and there, and may be too loud for certain people. But overall great movie. At the end, I was still hoping it could last longer, and it could, if Michael Bay elaborated on certain details.

Those who claim that people who like it are either children or stupid. They are wrong. You wont be able to enjoy a movie if you are always seeing flaws everywhere. Children and so-called "stupid" people, enjoy the movie because we just sit back and enjoy the movie, not caring about the plot. And those who hate the movie (and most likely Michael Bay also) forgot that Steven Spielberg is the executive producer.

Don't care what the critics say, if it is really that bad, then Transformers: Dark of the Moon will not have hit $700 million, let alone 1 billion (which it acheived) and becoming the fifth-highest grossing movie of all time.… Expand

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.

Effets numériques ahurissants, bruitages exceptionnels, bande originale de qualité, montage énergique, scènes d'action éblouissantes, acteurs à l'aise dans leur rôle respectif... Le seul plus qui permet à ce troisième opus de surpasser les premiers, c 'est (par miracle!!) le scénario. Plus sombre et beaucoup plus travaillé que pour les précédents films, il est étonnant d'exprimer de la compassion pour chaque personnage (même inhumain) et d'être étonné par l'histoire elle-même, qui tient formidablement la route! Certains me critiqueront parce que je suis fan, mais je peux assurer qu'avec Transformers 3, jamais vous ne vivrez une telle expérience au cinéma côté action et destruction, avec une 3D de qualité (pour le Grand Rex en tout cas).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Transformers 3 is an excellent action movie flik. The plot isb easier to follow now because it's more simple. I actually saw this in 2d format because at the time I didn't have enough money for me and my friend. I heard from some people that the 3d was as good as Avatar which I had seen. The 2d though to me wasn't really that bad so I didn't feel like I missed out on much.

The plot of NASA keeping a secret about the Apollo 11 1969 landing on the moon was pretty cool start to the movie and also interplaying that with finding a cybertronian ship with Optimus Primes mentor, Sentinal Prime gave it a good mystery to the plot for me. Shia Labeouf again was top notch again as the funny Sam Witwicky. Also Patrick Dempsey for me played his role very well. The comedy to me was toned down to me in ways but the comedy in this one I thought was better than the 2nd one without it getting to non serious. All of the comedy guys I thought did a good job. Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel also played their roles pretty well. All the villians in this movie are great for the most part. Overall the action is done mine blowingly well and the robots look to me quite realistic in all the places and city environments. There's gonna be a lot of wow moments for the audiences especially supposably in 3d. As far as the pacing I thought it was good for the most part despite it being like a 2 and a half hour movie. Now the negatives are some of the robots and new robots in the film didn't get the character development, as for like Shockwave I don't even think it had a voice actor and it had some cool moments but they didn't really show much of Shockwave. Also some of the new autobots didn't get a lot of character development. Some of the deliberately comedy relief characters didn't bring anything to the plot as the movie unfolded as well s a few others as well I think. But above the negatives this haves to be not only the best Transformers movie, but it's one of the better action movies of all time. This is definately a much watch. I give this film a rating of 8.9 out of 10 stars*.… Expand

The third (and hopefully final) installment in the Transformers franchise is just as weak as its immediate predecessor and far weaker than the opening salvo in the trilogy. The scenario setup had promise though. The Apollo program and theThe third (and hopefully final) installment in the Transformers franchise is just as weak as its immediate predecessor and far weaker than the opening salvo in the trilogy. The scenario setup had promise though. The Apollo program and the space race were an elaborate front to get to the moon and check out a UFO which crash landed there. This crashed ship turns out to be a casualty from Cybertron and naturally holds some cargo which both the Autobots and Decepticons desire. These events are combined with more historical fiction including Chernobyl and with quality writing could really have taken off somewhere intriguing. Unfortunately, Michael Bay chose to focus on an extremely uncharismatic Shia LeBeouf and his insecurities of unemployment, jealousy concerning his girlfriend, and wishing he had more recognition from his previous attempts to save humanity. To extend an even bigger weakness, John Turturro is also back again and now seems like even more of a Daffy Duck sidekick instead of an actual human being. Michael Bay tries harder this time to make the hand-to-hand combat amongst machines work but anyone sitting in the audience will continue to find it quite challenging to tell the difference between Autobot and Decepticon until they somehow untangle themselves. Also, the humans scurrying around beneath their robotic feet while dodging falling bits of building somehow never get accidentally squished which should really give a lot of credit to the machines situational awareness. The Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, reprised his ministerial role and speaks only in philosophical platitudes which contribute nothing to anyone and is most likely why he receives far less screen time to perch on his soap box and spout them at whoever is unlucky enough to be in the room when he begins a sermon. His speeches resemble a page-a-day motivational calendar. The female lead this time, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is not Megan Fox but is interchangeable enough that it does not matter. Casting also added ensured the new accent brought a British accent with her to make her even sexier to the American male audience. The first hour of the film has her getting in and out of quite a few low-riding vehicles in extremely short dresses which have most of the audience straining to catch a glimpse. I wonder if Megan Fox left this series before or after she read this script; she dodged a bullet here. The new additions of Patrick Dempsey, Francis McDormand, and John Malkovich hold their own with limiting material but Ken Jeongâ… Expand

I have to admit that It's a little better than the last one, but that doesn't mean it's good. It's dreadful. It's cheesy.

But, honestly, this is TRANSFORMERS. What did you expect? Transformers isn't supposed to be about a great story story or character development. It's about insanely awesome visuals, explosions, special effects, and action. That is what this movie delivers. Basically, this movie is all about tying up loose ends, making puzzle pieces from the early films fall together, and making you laugh because your suspicions are becoming reality. Or, that's the beginning of the movie. From about the middle onward, it's pretty much nothing but action, explosions, and gunshots. there are a couple funny parts, but they will soon be lost in the mayhem. This movie is all about the action. If you want a storyline, go home, because that isn't what transformers is about. It's about awesome CGI visuals and non-stop action. Sadly, Megan Fox's replacement was the only thing that kept me from giving this a ten because, let's face it. Some think she's as hot, (me) more think she's less, and very few think she's more.

Regardless of what people say about Michael Bay the one thing the man knows to do better than anybody is to deliver an action packed cinematic experience. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is the the third outing of the Transformers franchiseRegardless of what people say about Michael Bay the one thing the man knows to do better than anybody is to deliver an action packed cinematic experience. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is the the third outing of the Transformers franchise and is an imrprovement on the much maligned Revenge of the Fallen. Personally, I thought the negativity towards the second film was extremely harsh it's far from the worst film or sequel for that matter. Dark of the Moon is once again a very long film coming in at over 2hrs 30 mins but it flies by and never seems to drag along. The film this time begins in 1961 with the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons where a spacecraft known as the Ark is launched carrying an invention capable which is capable of ending the war once and for all however it is shot down and lands of the Earth's moon. In the present day the Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeaouf) is sturggling to find a job after college as he believes he should be working with the Autobots. The Autobots who once again are working in partnership the US military make a shock discovery whilst tracking down Decepticons in Chernobyl. They find a fuel cell from the Ark and after realising the spacecraft surivived the attack Optimus Prime set off to the moon to retrieve the remaining fuel cells and revive an old friend. A discovery regarding the fuel cells leads the Autobots in a race against time to stop the Decepticons initiating a plan to bring their planet to Earth. The storylines have never been compelling and to be fair hardly logical but they are engaging and is sheer entertainment and do bring around some of the biggest action sequences in the cinema to date as thats were Transformers 3 excels. The visual effects are outstanding and its one of the few films i've found were 3D is actually awesome! There's never a dull moment and the action is always on the go and ofcourse there's always a bit of humour added into the pack. The big question coming into this film was could film debutant Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replace a certain Megan Fox as the eye candy? Well let's just say the way she is introduced in this film won me over straight away its unforgettable and whilst she will no doubt be panned in all honesty the role of Sam's sweetheart is more about how hot they look rather than how good an actress they are. The film is an action blockbuster from start to finish and succeeds in that department in every aspect, no doubt Bay and co will have their haters but the film itself does the talking and given the amount of money it has grossed I find it hard to beleive this is the last time we will see Optimus Prime and co!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was good, although it wasn't anything I have seen in the other transformers. The lines kind of got messed up, as all of the conversations sort of sound like 5th graders talking. I feel like the producers were just trying to play off of the new melee optimus as he shoots a couple times in the entire movie. Also there is a scene where optimus is dangling from suspension wires for literally a good 20 minutes while everyone is getting their asses kicked, he's an advanced auto-biotic organism or whatever he should be able to untangle himself. Also the majority of the film feels like it is in slow motion because the action is so slow or the movie is actually in slow motion (which it is..... a LOT).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Transformers: dark of moon is the latest in the three transformers film and while not the worst it is not the best in the series and not a good film in general. The story in this movie made little sense and it does not need to as transformer films do not need a good plot just action however this film also fails in that regard. The action fails as it is boring to watch, the action sequences are to long and not well done as there is always a riffled plot moment in the middle of them meaning you won't understand why this fight takes place this would be ok if they did not pop up every five minutes and adding to this is the fact that they are cliché such as when just before a transformer kills another transformer they start talking about the past and then another transformer kills the evil one that is going to kill the good one so hurrah the good transformer has been saved even though this happens in very action film, hurrah. This film just grows tiresome very quickly and this film goes on for three hours that is three hours of boredom, I plead to you if you have not already seen this film do not seat it is not worth your time or money.… Expand

The new lead actress is a Victoria's Secret model with no acting experience, so we're not subtle about the whole "style over substance" concept. But most viewers only care about one thing only: Giant Robots Fighting. And this delivers in that area. Bay now uses "bullet time" to make it clear which robot is fighting which, so he is learning, and you will walk out with your Giant Robot Fighting desire satisfied.

This is a Michael Bay movie indeed. This means there are constant explosions. Yes the plot is predictable but I did enjoy this film. This is in my opinion a deeper film than the other transformer films which don't have much of a feeling in any way. I like this movie because in general I like action, great cars and well hot victoria secret models that replaced Megan Fox. This is a good movie if you know what you're going to see. Although the plot, the script, and the premise are indeed terrible, the movie achieves what it is going for: An action packed, special effect, animation film.… Expand

Firstly, this movie was structured oddly. For the first hour, the movie felt fine, having action scenes separated by a few scenes of dialogue. It felt nice until the Chicago sequence. This scene took the 90 minutes left of the movie, consisting entirely of every single step these guys had to do to defeat the Decepticons and it felt like a chore to watch it as it just kept going on and on. There wasn't any character development in this section too, just non-stop action. This would be fine if the characters had developed before the scene, but rather are left on a climax and magically end up being developed in the end. The computer graphics looked fine, and it wasn't too impressive since it was done equally well in the past two movies. As for the actors, they didn't really play too well. It wasn't really stand out for me. The dialogue mostly killed the acting for me, because it felt like the actors were doing a mediocre job when really it was just the scripting that's making them suffer. And finally, I watched this movie in 3D, and I can say that it didn't stand out once to me. None of the action felt any better or worse, and it just ended up being unnecessary. I couldn't really tell if anything came out of the screen. Overall, this movie is below average. It is plentiful of action, but if you wanted anything other than that, you're better off seeing another movie.… Expand

Entertaining enough, but with iffy acting and a very long running time. Nevertheless, it's a wondrous bit of fun with incredible special effects that could even merit it an Oscar. But only in that field...

This movie depicts very anthropomorphics characters ripping each other to pieces in a very sadistic way. Transformers are very humanlike, they are at least as intelligent, like we, they talk, feel emotions, they even bleed like humans. And they seem to enjoy ripping each other's limbs, crushing heads and internal organs. And many people are taking children to watch this movie. How evil can you be, Michael Bay?… Expand

A remarkably odd and unsatisfying entry. I loved the first and wasn't too impressed by the second. The first was tightly scripted with a solid main plot and little padding. It was a 2 hour roller coaster and all the better for it. The secondA remarkably odd and unsatisfying entry. I loved the first and wasn't too impressed by the second. The first was tightly scripted with a solid main plot and little padding. It was a 2 hour roller coaster and all the better for it. The second was a mess with too many plot strands and characters linking towards the rather underwhelming final battle and virtually no main plot to hold it together. Sadly, Dark Of The Moon is actually worse. But not because it has no plot. The basic premise involving Sentinel Prime is superb, but it's comprehensively ruined by far too many characters, most of whom are dreadfully acted, especially the usually dependable John Malkovich, in too many plot strands that, unlike the second film, go absolutely nowhere, and all clutter up the film so badly in the first 90 minutes that by the time the action starts. Terrible editing and an almost wanton disregard for very significant deaths in the series rob two of the most poignant moments of any emotional impact. Not to mention the choice to remove Megan Fox and replace her with a fembot. I don't even like Fox, but at least she could act out more than one emotion, that being "slightly confused". Bay's ability to make action sequences look stunning is certainly present, but they are so CGI heavy and the lighting so determined to show off it's HDR abilities on the CGI models that you can't tell what the hell is going on or who's winning. After each battle, you often have to wait for the next dialogue scene to figure out which shiny robot is still alive. All in all, it's just a damned shame. An intriguing plot that should have massive emotional impact for a blockbuster, that turns out to be a confused mess full of throwaway one liners and jokes, none of which are funny, not to mention wasting some serious acting talent on plot strands that go nowhere and rob the film of any momentum. Almost a complete disaster.… Expand

Without trying to spoil the movie, this movie contains some big surprises, betrayal and over the top action scenes. Even my uncle who is a long time transformers fan said it didn´t betray the novelties set by merchandise and the previous movies in the slightess and said it was true to the transformers formula. They manage to slip in comedy here and here and me and my uncle couldn´t help giggling and looking at each other.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately Transformers 3 was just all kinds of a mess. From the lack of story and any kind of cohesion to the female lead that kept me thinking her lips were reversed the entire time (and that she had some kind of untold super power that allowed her to not take any sort of damage in the last battle when every single person around her looked like hell at the end of it - shenanigans, says I). The movie is like a skate video for robot fights. Michael Bay doesn't want to give you substance, he just wants you to watch cool stuff blow up while you have to withstand horrible dialogue in hopes that maybe you'll find some kind of meaning behind it all, all-the-while questioning how long it actually takes them to go through the events that the cast is going through. Conveying any type of passage of time was lost somewhere on the cutting room floor. And don't even get me started on what they believe should be emotional moments. I cared more for the robots in Wall-E than I did in this film.

Transformers 3 is a rental at best.… Expand

There is less useless action throughout, although the last 40 mins do start dragging after the millionth explosion. What Michael Bay seriously misunderstands is action. Explosions do not equal excitement, it is what's at stake and the investment in the characters that makes sequences exciting. Nonetheless I knew the kind of film that I was going to get going in so I was able to enjoy most of it. The plot is much more easier to understand and I did find myself caring for some of the characters. Although just like the previous films, I can never tell who's who when the robots start fighting. It's just clashing metal. This time is was fun though.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ACTION ACTION ACTION, forget about the plot! Ah, I think that's just called a lousy movie. Plot holes, overdone action movie cliches. I mean seriously, the new autobot betrays the good guys, the hot chick talks megatron into betraying his partner, the Autobots die, except they obviously don't because that would be ludicrous even for Michael Bay, The movie is blatantly bad, terrible even. It is Michael Bay giving us the middle finger and saying "It's Transformers, you HAVE to go see it.". It makes me a bit angry when people say "forget about the plot". Here's why: THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PLOT TO BE TERRIBLE!!! He could have made a movie with explosions and autobots as well as a storyline that is at least mediocre (i.e. doesn't make your eyes bleed). He did it in the first one, so I know it's possible. Regardless, as far as explosion filled CGI fests that pander to the lowest common denominator go, it does kill a couple hours. I guess terrible plot+amazing effects = mediocre movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must say this to start off; i came into the theatre with very low expectations for this flick. Considering how godawful Revenge of the Fallen was, i was curious to see if the final installment in Michael Bay's robot beat em up series was worth watching. I came to the conclusion that its a decent action flick, but when the story, script, and characters are put into consideration, its barely bearable.

The moon landing was the investigation of an autobot ship that contains the autobots original leader before Optimus, Sentinel Prime. He turns out to be working with Megatron and he, Megatron, an evil human and the rest of the Decepticons are holing up in Chicago (of all possible cities) where the autobots wage their last epic battle. In short; good guy is actually a bad guy, good robots fight bad robots, people and bots are killed. Really, thats all you need to know. So the story aspect is crap. Utter crap. Shia's performance was dull, and laughably annoying; he mainly fills in the role of a damsel in distress by yelling and screaming nearly the whole movie. Rosie Huntington Whitley's performance as a replacement for Megan Fox is, well, its there. She's only the hot chick that Sam is willing to die for and thats about it. The fact that her acting is horrible is, well, damnit shes only there to look pretty, nothing more, so i wont critique her performance in depth. Anyways, the movie was also made rather obvious and pathetic attempts at American Patriotism; yes we are in a time of war, but we are not fighting murderous robots or letting robots blow up illegal irani nuclear sites. The movie does shine, however, in a technical level. The robots conversion from vehicle to machine is fluid and realistic, and the number of moving parts in their faces and bodies is remarkable. 3D however.... i failed to see anything really done for 3D. The trailers before the movie made better use of the tech.

Too long to read; Decent, pretty movie. Dont take it seriously and you'll enjoy it. A must see for fire fetishists, as is with every Michael Bay movie.… Expand

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

She isn't sexier, and she is even worse at acting according to me. They also made a very weak ending on Megan's career. A few sentences. This movie showed off the well-known rule "Awesome things stops being awesome if you get too much of them". There were simply too much CGI in this movie. The epic moment where you saw one or more transformers evolve or battle aren't gone, but they are everywhere! And it didn't help that the last battle lasted for one hour.

There's simply too many little mechadudes running around with little or no exposition to flesh out what their goals and motivations really are. This, in turn, causes the viewer not to really give a rip about what is going on. Still, the action towards the end is as intense as any action film in recent memory. Those who love the jiggle will not be disappointed by the Megan Fox replacement in this movie. The human actors do a serviceable job moving the plot along, such as it is, but the robots ironically reveal how robotic the script really is. Michael Bay disappoints with his direction of this movie. Clearly, there was a rush job done here, and it is not lost upon many what pressure must have been felt to revive this franchise after the faultering of the second film in the trilogy. Wanted to love it, but just came out liking it a little. I give this a hesitant matinee price recommendation, at best.… Expand

He was more concerned with saving a girl which is just met then actually saving the world. Poor guy... it seemed like he was still recovering from his break up with Megan Fox Oops meant to say Mikaela Banes. By the way the new girl has nothing on Megan Fox. Too bad Katy Perry isn't much into acting (yet), she would had made a wonderful replacement for Megan Fox. The movie ran for 2 hours and 37 minutes but it felt like it ran for 5 hours. This movie could not end fast enough for me. This movie was not all bad. The action was what you expected of a Transformer's movie. I like how they incorporated the lunar landings into the mix and the gamer in me liked the 3rd person shooter bit they had towards the end of the movie. We NEED fresh eyes and fresh minds for the 4th installment (if there is one)… Expand

"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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is like a sandwich, the first and last buns are horrible and old, where the middle has your favorite, whether it's meatballs, patty or ribs, then they sprinkled the worst condiments know to man and serve it to you swearing its good. Transformers 3 began with a series of investigation scenes better saved for a crappy Eagle Eye sequel, introduces new threats and goes on for some expected to be epic sequences only to end on the most mundane note conceivable. The main threat ShockWave got close to no scene time and is the given the simple explanation: "that was ShockWave", and never heard of again until the end where the most action he got was shooting at Optimus once and struggling with a parachute stuck on his face before getting killed. But regardless, optimus goes on a revenge crazed beat down on him for what I can assume is because Optimus hates it when they call his name and shoots him once. Yeah I played the game, but for those who didn't, this would seem a bit stupid, if not beyond stupid. They kept bumblebee and optimus alive for fans sake and went buck wild with the fates of the other transformers, which resulted in the death of all decipticons and half of the autobots, and having Cybertron implode, just for the sake of having an intense emotional moment that ended in a swing and a miss. Most of the moments ended up as predictable and boring. The movie left questions unanswered and answered some unnecessary questions, don't worry you'll see them. The only thing keeping me from dropping a 0 on this review is the unexpected plot twist in the midpoint of the movie.… Expand

The film is a mind-blowing action experience and looks gorgeous with the 3D effects, that's all. In some parts it seems like the plot(a weak one) is merely a excuse for the fast paced action.

The 3-D looks great, Frances McDormand is fun in a supporting role, and there's an intriguing subplot that ties the whole series into the real-life Apollo 11 moon landing of 1969. Still, 157 minutes is waaaaaaaay too long for this loud, thudding, overblown nonsense. And as for as the new leading lady, Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whitely: she's pretty (of course) but so incredibly dull and colorless that I actually started to miss the (extremely limited) thespic stylings of Megan Fox.… Expand

Like the other Transformers films it's pretty brainless, rather desolate below the surface and has very dumb and cliched dialogue. The difference between DOTM and its predecessors however, is that it has completely embraced its stupidity. The first film took itself too seriously (an amazing feat considering it's about giant alien morphing robots). Revenge of the Fallen was plain awful, not just in an inept way, but in a downright offensive way. This film knows it's big, loud and ridiculous, and excels at it. The effects are stonking and the fluidity of the action is superb. Bay is a true master of carnage. Steve Jablonsky's thumping score also helps maintain momentum through much of the film's colossal runtime. The quality of the acting and of the script is mixed - LaBeouf and Huntington-Whiteley are serviceable at best, but Turturro, Malkovich and McDormand bring a level of professionalism, underused though they are. If there are any true stars of the film it is the voice actors, especially the two principle transformers of the film, Optimus and Sentinel Prime (Cullen and Nimoy). The decision to have two of the most distinctive voices on the planet sharing screen time was a stroke of genius, and will likely result in nerdgasms everywhere. It's not by any means a great film, but if you're in the right frame of mind, Dark of the Moon will give you a rollicking good time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The big flaw: the central characters are humans, not robots. Imagine an X-men movie in which the mutants never speak; they just show up to fight. You never learn their personalities nor motivations. Even if the fights were well choreographed, that movie would be boring.

Here is the very minor spoiler: for Transformers 3, they created an all new villain ... but it's not a robot. It's Patrick Dempsey! Yep, he is the main antagonist. That stinks!

I grew up loving the old Transformers cartoon TV series. The stories were about Starscream scheming to usurp Megatron or about Bumblebee being naive and courageous and getting himself into trouble. Sure, the cartoons had human characters, but they were sidekicks. In Michael Bay's movies, Bumblebee has become Shia LeBouf's pet.

Michael Bay's movies aren't about the Transformers; they are about Shia LaBeouf, his interchangeable girlfriend, his parents, and John Turturro. Sadly, Shia's parents get more character development than any of the Transformers. In fact, the parents possibly have more lines of dialogue than all the robots combined. That isn't right.

I got really excited when I saw the red, sportscar autobot on screen -- I just knew that had to be Sideswipe! But y'know what, it really wasn't. Sideswipe was **** and loved competing with Sunstreaker. He was fun because he was always showing off. I can't even recall if he spoke once in this movie -- he wasn't really a character; he wasn't Sideswipe, just a red autobot. That was disappointing.

Here's what this fan wants: for the next Transformers movie, do a prequel about the events on Cybertron that led to the war. No humans. All robots -- with character. This probably won't happen. For this fan, the animated Transformers movie from the 1980's still stands as the greatest of them all.… Expand

I only watched it because I happened to be in DC last fall when they shot the movie. It was quite impressive to see thousands of people lined up along Pennsylvania Avenue, which was shut down almost entirely, and to see the Lincoln Memorial lit up like a supernova, in the middle of the night. I had a feeling back then that MAKING the movie would be far more exciting than actually watching it. But I had no idea that it would turn out THAT bad. I mean, it is just really embarrassing for a major studio to dish out tens of millions of dollars, and then come up with utter garbage. Even the CGI is stunningly bad. There is no story. One of the decepticons looks like, yes, it is quite unbelievable, the PREDATOR !!! Yes, from the movie franchise. Shia LeBoeuf's ADD/ADHD really, and I mean really, goes on your nerves. There is no clear explanation on why his girlfriend is his girlfriend, because there is not the least bit of chemistry between the two of them. She is also nauseatingly ugly, couldn't they have screwed another head onto her neck ? In all, definitely a good candidate for worst movie of the year.… Expand

First the negatives. The story is too confusing, the dialogue is laughable, the film is way too long, and the great actors involved are pretty much wasted and are here for the paycheck. This big budget film actually has three of my favorite actors, Frances McDormand, John Turturro, and John Malkovich. McDormand has the most screen time so she is the best of the three, the other two are underused. Now for the positives. It is better than the second Transformer movie BY FAR, but what film isn't? Most importantly, the special effects are extraordinary. Really extraordinary. The last 1/2 hour to 45 minutes of the film is a loud, glorious, cacophonous spectacle of action and noise. Although I'm not a fan of 3D, the 3D in the film is MUCH better than most films using this technology. I'm actually a fan of Michael Bay due to the fact that he did "The Island", a film I love, but that film had a great story along with great special effects and remains his masterpiece.
