Transformers: Dark of the Moon

The best in the franchise

3/10 awful writing, awful plot, awful directing perfect match for a Transformers movie 🤦🏻‍♂️

This movie was better than the last one, but that’s not saying much. The movie starts iffy, but gets much better at the halfway point. So, the exact opposite of Revenge of the Fallen. My one problem: this movie is too long and the next one is even longer. Shred off half an hour!

Good trilogy!!
Underrated CGI and yet another phenomenal cameo by mr Chow (Jerry Wang in this movie)

Spotted the stunt-double with the wig at the end when Sam started parcouring XD

Rating: 5.9/10

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a grim, self-serious, and punishingly long blockbuster with impressive visual effects, but a soulless and exhausting experience.

Highlights
- Visual Effects: The visual effects are a monumental technical achievement, with a breathtaking final battle.
- Action Sequences: The "Driller" Decepticon sequence and wingsuit action are spectacular.

Criticisms
- Poor Screenplay: The plot is convoluted, self-serious, and incoherent, with a plodding pace.
- Unlikable Characters: The human characters are at their worst, with Sam Witwicky being angry and entitled.
- Cynical Direction: Michael Bay's direction is grim, nihilistic, and devoid of wonder.

Verdict
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a technical showcase serving a terrible movie. Its impressive visuals are overshadowed by a joyless, punishing, and forgettable experience.
