Transformers 3 is, in my opinion a return ( or a first for some people) to the routs. It is well more centered on the actual fight between Autobots and Decepticons and this time, showing off a far more darker story. Some people will say thatTransformers 3 is, in my opinion a return ( or a first for some people) to the routs.

Some people will say that it is lacking actions, but I totally disagree since the amount may not be as big as the first sequel, but in this film, the quality and the drama of it makes up for it. In my opinion, Transformers: Dark of the moon is the best Transformers YET of the franchise.… Expand

I'm going to be honest, Revenge of the Fallen had me lose all my faith in Micheal Bay as a director, the movie had plot holes everywhere and characters would jump out of no where and suddenly be essential to move the story. Dark of the MoonI'm going to be honest, Revenge of the Fallen had me lose all my faith in Micheal Bay as a director, the movie had plot holes everywhere and characters would jump out of no where and suddenly be essential to move the story. Dark of the Moon is Bay's redemption. DOTM had fantastic momentum, a story that made sense, and surprises here and there. You know haw the commercials for the Blu-ray say "The greatest action movie ever" well they're not lying. If you want your lust for violence to be satisfied then here is your movie. this movie is a testosterone driven masterpiece of giant sentient Robots like to have ridiculous wars on the streets of human cities.… Expand

Horrendous dialogue, useless characters, annoying characters, preposterous plot, lame attempts of humor...it was just not very entertaining. The action in this film is pretty AMAZING! I was so entertained by the second part. The effects, sounds, explosions, music was all perfect. Michael Bay is definitely a master of awesome action. But in-your-face nonstop action is not enough for a good film.… Expand

At times outright ignoring elements established in the first two movies- just don't think about it too much. 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. A popcorn flick that delivers mindless but fun, but if you're looking for the 2011 version of "Inception," this 'aint it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went to the theatre expecting a sucky movie with a hazy plot and more decepticon revivals and scenes with Shia crying "OPTIMUS !!" atleast 16 times ... once again Michael Bay screwed my expectations ... the story was well formatted and the CGI rich action sequences were well done. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ( the ex-lingerie model who i believed couldn't act )turned out to be an excellent replacement for Megan Fox . The Arri Alexa and Sony F35 camera 3D shots, speak for itself and brings a whole new perspective into the movie ... Linkin Park's Iridescent proved to be a great hit and added to the emotional turmoil portrayed in the movie . The story was a bit of a drag with a couple of unwanted scenes and unnecessary action ... Nevertheless the movie is a huge landmark in Michael Bay's career ... Hope u guys will enjoy it as i did ... :)… Expand

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

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

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

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

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.

While the plot in Dark of the Moon is much, much better than ROTF, it still is not good enough for Transformers to be considered "great" movies. overall, Transformers gives you exactly what you would expect: big robots knocking the crap out of each other, and that isn't a bad thing at all.

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

So my hopes walking into the theater on this one weren't set very high, but Dark of the Moon really impressed me! Behind all the action, this time we get a pretty good story, one that might even strike an emotional chord in some (think Spiderman 2). There is more depth to the characters and although it has it's funny moments, there is none of the high school humor that trashed the second film so much. The story feels fresh and even the action sequences feel new... I know this is Bays last of these big-robot films, but this one left me hoping they make more!… Expand

HELL NO! this is micheal bay we are talkin about . his method is well if it must be that the special effect and action sceanes arnt cool enough. so i must improve that. so what we are left with is pretty much the same lame plot from TF2 decepticons find a wepon to destroy earth and god knows why that stuttering prick shilo boof has to save us all . so most of the movie is focused on Sam whining and complaining how he wants to live a normal life and that no one appriates all that he's done for us blah blah freekin blah. yeah its not like the movie goers dont wana know more about the transformers themselves out side of them just being dragged out to beat the living hell out of each other... noooo we need more shilo . megan fox is now gone and this new girl is brought in cant remember her name and with her god awful acting its unlikely we will see her in much more movies. shes some model who couldnt act well enough to get in a sci fi B movie but apperntly Bay thought she was hot even though her face looks like some one took a metal rake over it for a few days . not to sound shallow or any thing i could have cared less how she looked if her acting was passable like megan foxes was ... maybe thats giving fox to much praise but she wasnt horrable like this girl is thats for sure. in the end if you wana see a mindless action flick with no redeeming qaulitys but its action . you will probubly like this film . if not stay far far far away. i unfortunitly got dragged to this mess cause my 13 year old nephew wanted to see it and begged me .… 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.

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

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

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

The script is weak, the performances are a little underwhelming, the pacing is off, and the movie is far too long. I don't know why so many people liked this movie, but I say compared to some of the quality Summer releases of the past few weeks, like Harry Potter and Captain America, it falls flat on its face. And sure it is better than Revenge of the Fallen, but is that really saying anything?… Expand

A huge letdown compared to the Megan Fox era. The suspense was exciting, but left us with blue balls and led to a mediocre finish. The CGI was great as always and I wished I could've seen more robot drama instead of human tension.

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

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

The difference between DOTM and itsDark of the Moon is a Michael Bay film so you don't to expect film art. 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

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

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.

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

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

The first 15 minutes or so was actually pretty good. Then it quickly squandered the visually interesting and narratively promising set up and descended into one of the worst films I have ever seen, along with the second movie.

The humanThe first 15 minutes or so was actually pretty good. Then it quickly squandered the visually interesting and narratively promising set up and descended into one of the worst films I have ever seen, along with the second movie.

The human characters are at best lifeless and two-dimensional with no emotional progression, at worst bizarre and unintelligible, behaving like no human I have ever seen (due to both the actors and the script); the robot dialogue is equally bad, and the side characters which are supposed to be funny are just plain cringing.

The story is appalling, failing to meet basic dramatic criteria; a smart child really could do much better. There's a romantic subplot wedged in which is completely ham-fisted, undeveloped and pointless. Other attempts at subplots like the main guy trying to fit into society and find a purpose are set up then abandoned. Characters act in absolutely ridiculous ways with no sensible explanation (the good robots pretend to leave the planet in a rocket for no well defined reason and then do nothing whilst the bad robots destroy cities, just to allow the terrible cliche of them returning when all hope is gone; the leader of the good robots joins the bad ones and doesn't bother explaining why in any coherent fashion), and the whole thing doesn't make sense at all, with the first part focused on a MacGuffin which apparently plays no further role in the story, and the last hour motivated by the bad robots deciding that what a hyper technologically advanced race really needs is humans as animals for slave labour. And then... killing as many humans as they can? It really is that bad.

I understand that this is an action film, but that doesn't excuse the total laziness and incompetence of all other aspects; action films can be good as films too. As for the action itself, if you've seen the previous movie, you've seen this one. With the exception of one original scene involving a tilting skyscraper which wasn't really used to full potential and was pretty much ruined by frustration at everybody apparently forgetting the purpose for which they climbed it in the first place, this is 3 more hours of robots and explosions. If you're under 15 then it kind of makes sense that this might appeal to you. Otherwise... well, have fun?… Expand

It may be better than Transformers 2, but Dark of the Moon is still a sloppy loud train wreck. You would think replacing Megan Fox would help improve the acting, but it may have gotten worse.

A lot of people say that "Dark of the Moon" is better than "Revenge of the Fallen", which isn't saying much, but I think it's actually worse than the previous film.

The film is long, bloated, obnoxious, annoying and damn right bland. ShiaA lot of people say that "Dark of the Moon" is better than "Revenge of the Fallen", which isn't saying much, but I think it's actually worse than the previous film.

The film is long, bloated, obnoxious, annoying and damn right bland. Shia LaBeouf returns as the main "hero" Sam Witwicky, and this time he has a new girlfriend, Carly, who is played by British model, Rosie Hungington Whitley...that's right, Model, not actress. This just goes to show that director Michael Bay only cares for young, attractive women who have to look good instead of act good. The problem is that these two actors have no chemistry whatsoever.

A girl who seems unrealistically calm like Carly, what is she doing sticking around with someone who is loud and not-so-courageous like Sam? I'll tell you why...because the screenplay says so.

There are some really tasteless and unfunny moments that involve Ken Jeong, such as the scene where he takes Shia LaBeouf's character to a workplace bathroom and constantly says "Deep Wang" numerous times. Does Michael Bay honestly think this is funny? This is supposed to be an action film not a comedy film, then again, if it was a comedy film, it isn't very funny.

Humor in action films are supposed to be subtle and occur when the film gets a little too serious, but I honestly cannot remember a single actor taking any of these events seriously.

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' is worse than "Revenge of the Fallen", after watching the film for about an hour and a half, I was already done, but clearly Michael Bay hadn't finished yet and he had to rinse the film for another hour too long.… Expand

In all seriousness though the film has some good points that i'll get out of the way first before I continue. First the 3D against my initial pre-conceptions was excellent the best 3D i've ever seen in a film and is by a huge margin the best thing the film has going for itself. But, That's it, That's the only good quality transformers 3 possesses other than the fact that it's better than it's atrocious predecessor; revenge of the fallen. The action is mental as is customary in Michael Bay's films with almost all of Chicago massacred by the end of the film and most of the scenes where someone dies being kinda crap. Fortunately the action is handled in a much more controlled way than the second film with the viewer actually being able to walk out of the cinema without a coma. The plot is pretty much non-existent involving a 60â… Expand

Dark of the Moon is a real crowd pleaser, if you like your movies really dumb with no plot, a very confusing storyline, lousy dialogue and endless explosions. If you're looking for a very long fun movie than this is it. Michael Bay is going for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight outline here with a slow first act to build the characters and the platform for the movie. TF3 was all over the place. I don't like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at all, she can't act to save her life. I mean, how bad can you be up to the point that I was missing Megan Fox. The second act is where things are heating up, plots get underway we're already clear with what the core of the story is about and twists are revealed. TF3 was confusing and messy, ooh the Autobots were betrayed and one em' died, I was supposed to feel something but dagnamit why didn't I give a damn? And the third act is where everything comes together in blazing glory. Dark Side of the Moon couldn't rival The Dark Knight but this one was quite awesome with an hour of non-stop rat-tat-tat-tat, explosions and the big-finale-moment-of-truth and whatnot.

First off is the plot, it's just the same oldTransformers 3 may be better than the second, but it ain't by much. The third and last installment of the movie, Transformers 3 may have good 3D effects and CGI, but everything else is just bad. First off is the plot, it's just the same old thing. Optimus Prime saves the humans when the Decepticons try to destroy it. This time it's a little different though, as Sentinel Prime, ex-Leader of the Autobots, betrays his allies to bring Cybertron to earth. The other plot, there is none. Just filler and slapstick humor that gets old fast. The new female star, Rosie Huntington - Whiteley, is first shown walking in her underwear right when the movie starts off and the camera is directed right at her butt. This is the reason why she is here, because she cannot act for her life (I'm trying not to swear if you noticed). Everyone else in the movie wasn't that great of an actor/actress either. The only redeeming life to this movie is the Robots and the Special Effects. There was hardly any action, and if there was, it was short. Only the end was the good part of the movie, and even then it was still not that great. Especially when Whiteley goes up to Megatron and insults him. Really? Give me a break! No one would ever do that. It's so dumb and makes no sense. I know this was supposed to be more for the fan that the Average Joe like myself (I'm more like the Angry Video Game Nerd), but it could have still been suitable for both. This movie had great potential, but in the end it was the same garbage that has been done countless times before. Only recommended for Transformers fans. If you're just like me, you will find yourself bored as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know what. I am not gonna take my advantage for loving this movie that it's a total waste of the movie that how horrible it is same as the Revenge of the Fallen. For me, I dislike this movie for so long that it's nothing work, just like the rest of the terrible Michael Bay films. It throws everywhere with horrible people, horrible story, horrible effects, and horrible jokes that it gives to the audiences to enjoy this crap movie and it's very sad for me that this director wanted to get a decent action robotic movie. Not even one good moment, not even one! This is the kind of movie that your best friend wanted hang out with you at the Applebees and then you spend quality time with your best friend with lots of drinks and then your friend ask you to see this Transformers 3 with good money and then you started to get drunk while watching and then you don't even remember what happen went you spend time with your friend for watching Transformers 3. THAT"S THE KIND OF THIS HORRIBLE MOVIE THAT I WOULD RATHER TO SAY TO EVERYONE!!! Once again, the robots are really amazing with CG effects around everywhere, but everything else it so horrid, so disaster, and so forgettable. The story is a complete mess, the characters are so annoying (that I hate when Bay put all these fillers with stereotypes that drives me nuts), the action scenes are so long and boring as the same as the second one, the jokes are so bad, and the setting of this movie is so dark, violent, inappropriate, and completely wasting much time with adding stupid ideas to make. But I hate this movie when it's for kids and teenagers to make it too dark, too edgy, too goofy to make it so dark and it fails. And tell me that it's just a popcorn flick that people and fans are watching this movie and talk stupidity to every critic and hate goers that it's good and don't give a f@#k for anything to be more positive. Please, you can't judge every movie that gives pleasure of all these gimmick toys that kids will enjoy everything that they watch these dumb three movies. Beyond everything, it's way way way too far that it takes too serious and I had enough watching these terrible movies has to offer. I hate this film that the director won't give nothing credit that if he will promise to make it decent and I can see that this director is so mean that he'll team up with Uwe Boll or any directors out there that every product that doesn't work for me. I'm sorry for everyone and for those people didn't enjoy this movie of dislike it, it's horrible. I HATE IT!!! HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT! and 1,000 HATES IT TO THIS MOVIE ON THEIR FACES!!! HATE IT!!!… 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.

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.

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

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

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