    Transformers: Dark Of The Moon

    This is for the people who have seen and are going to see the film.


    Reviews and such are stating that this is a Michael Bay film: Loud, action packed, and incohorent. To say the least, that's not bad for a mindless action flick, but I'm just wondering if it's better than part 2?, and with this summer being full of disappointments, so far, I don't think it will disappoint (on an action level).

    If you have seen this and are planning on seeing it, how do you feel about it, and what do you think of Michael Bay's work?

    Great movie. I'm going to pretend that the 2nd never happened. The story was a lot better as was the acting and action. I'm very happy with the way this turned out. I'm also happy that the retard twins were absent and a lot of humor was toned down. There was still humor, but it was better delivered and not quite as juvenile. This film was much much more darker. There's a couple a decent twists and turns. There were also visions of people being blown to bits and as with one scene you see the skull of a human roll along the ground.

    All in all great fun summer flick. It's at the top of my list of favorite this summer. 8/10

    I think the humor was turned up in this flick. John Malcovich (sp?) was useless in this flick..and the parents were trying too hard. I hate how they give the actress, who plays the mom, goofy lines. Like she referenced how big Shia Lebouf's penis was..I'm like really?

    I hate how there was all of a sudden blood to the Transformers? Another thing that made me mad is that every Jet or anything that tried getting into Chicago was blown apart, but Shia Labouf's little group was fine to waltz right in.

    This movie was filled with plot holes and the first hour of the movie was boring as hell. Up until the Decepticons came out of the moon. Then after that, the battle scenes were pretty awesome. Also Megatron is back in this? He fucking died in the second one and he does absolutely nothing in this one.

    Come to think of it..no one does a damn thing in this installment. All the humans are pretty much useless. They stand around and watch the Autobots kick ass. Overall the movie was kind of a mess..was pretty disappointed.

    EDIT: I forgot to add that Mr. Chow from Hangover is in this..and that basically ruined 20 minutes of the movie for me. Was horrible

    5/10

    I really enjoyed this. First movie I actually went to a midnight showing for in a long time.

    Also, Megatron didn't die in Revenge of the Fallen. Last we seen of him Optimus kicked his ass for sure but the last scene of Megatron was running away with Starscream as he said "This ain't over."

    Now that Transformers is done (for now) maybe we get Bad Boys 3

    Luckily their screen time was cut heavily in this one. I thought they worked just fine and it was only to make things light hearted the first 30 mins or so before things picked up. Malkovich, like the parents, was only there to give things a funny easiness and move the story a little bit further along. I thought he worked well with what he had. Except for his final scene with Bumblebee that wasn't that great nor funny.

    The blood thing I noticed too but isn't anything that made me go, Oh they bleed now well that's stupid. More like hmmm ok. There aren't a lot of scenes that show them bleed either so again non issue for me. As far as Shia's group, you can take this part and apply it to any movie.

    I thought he was funny and so did the packed theater I was in. If you've seen him in anything and liked what he did there you'll probably like what he did here. Same type of comedy.

    Just got back from it.

    Easily better than ROTF, easily.

    Whether it has the charm/longevity that the original has i am not certain yet on initial viewing.

    Its easily darker. I thought the humor this time around was a bit more toned down and appropriate unlike ROTF where it really just derailed moments of the film.

    The last hour or so is one big spectacle and the movie featured some deaths and the deceptions in this movie are darker/tougher and the battles were good. My only real gripe is this is still largely too much of a feel good ending even after everything that happened. As high as the stakes were. I feel like the autobots/humans still end up coming out of it with no heavy losses which has been a real disappointment for me anyway with all 3 movies without spoiling anything.

    I thought the chick who replaced Megan was fine for what she was. She wasn't a focus arguably compared to Fox in the previous two movies which helped though I suppose if you care for continuity. You wanted the Mikeala character there at the end with Sam but that's what it is.

    Whether or not this is the end of the series? The numbers will tell us for everybody involved. Whether its Michael or Shia or anyone involved. If this movie does less business, its over. If not, I could see Spielberg talking Bay into another movie.

    So the box-office totals have come in......it grossed 162M for the week, but only 97M for the weekend. It's not bad, but it falls a little short of the ROTF box-office, which is why this one suffered. Not one film this summer to gross over a hundred million dollars in WEEKEND grosses.
