Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Reviews

I personally think this is the worst of the three

I liked the first Transformers, and while it did have its problems the second was better than I expected. I came into the cinema not expecting much, but I left feeling very underwhelmed. Other than the amazing effects, authentic sound, quite excellent action and above average cinematography and editing, this Transformers entry was a waste of time in my opinion.

In my opinion Transformers:Dark of the Moon is the dullest and worst of the three. The first half is poorly paced and dull to the point of boredom, and while the second half fares much better due to the action it came too late and wasn’t enough to stop the film from becoming a messy bore overall. The dialogue is stupid and formulaic, the film is much too long and the story is choppy and confused complete with a messy ending.

Michael Bay’s direction is another low point, it is murky and unfocused throughout, while the characters are either underused(the robots) or annoying(John Tuturro’s character). The acting is not great at all, the voice work is decent, however John Malkovich is wasted, Shia LaBoeuf’s easy going charm doesn’t disguise the fact his performance is uncharismatic and dull, Patrick Dempsey(performance and character) is useless, John Tuturro tries hard but ends up over-compensating and the less said about the lovely but bland replacement for Megan Fox Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the better.

All in all, a mess and the worst of the three. 3.5/10 Bethany Cox

More noisy nonsense

DARK OF THE MOON is the third and final instalment of the TRANSFORMERS trilogy and a film that’s pretty much indistinguishable from the previous two entries in the series. It’s another overlong, noisy, and completely over the top offering from Michael Bay, who as a director understands nothing of nuance, subtlety, or how to properly direct his actors.

The plot is vapid and routine. Once again the Autobots and the Decepticons are back on Earth and battling it out. The best thing about the film is the calibre of the special effects; the CGI is endless and exemplary, and shiny chrome and plate metal have never looked so good. Kudos to the special effects guys for creating such a realistic-looking race of giant robots and featuring them for so much of the screen time.

I admit that I got a basic enjoyment from this film from watching the endless destruction of both cities and robots. There’s something of an appealing kaiju quality to it. Unfortunately, the rest of the elements of the film are rubbish. Shia LaBeouf is really awful in these films, not even making an effort, although the worst actor in it is Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley, who doesn’t even try to act; she just stands around and looks dumbly on. Jon Turturro is here, doing a bad impersonation of Al Pacino, while Frances McDormand comes in to pick up her pay cheque. The worst thing about Ehren Kruger’s dumb-as-nails script is his insistence on going for the lowest common denominator throughout, i.e. aiming it at the teenage male crowd, thus including endless stupid comedy relief (those mini-Transformers) and generally spoon-feeding to viewers.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is Oscar Worthy!!!!

(end sarcasm)

Michael Bay mounts another overblown monstrosity. The cash machine needs to be continuously replenished. Shia LaBeouf reprises his role for maybe the last time. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley takes over as the new eye candy. If only she can stand there and not talk…. or act, or react. She makes me pine for Megan Fox. Shame on her. Megan is a master craftsman compare to this. Josh Duhamel also returns. In the end, the story is meaningless. The acting is almost as meaningless. The action is the key. All that matters is the action. And there is nothing new anymore from this franchise. The super slo-mo is more a hindrance. I think it’s meant to look to super cool in 3D but after the millionth time, all it does is slow down the movie. I love the action and the explosions. That’s all we have left in this movie.
