Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Rating 5 out of 10

There are movies I don't care for, but can see how others would like it.  This is one of those movies.  Not sure why I went to see this movie at all.  I didn't really like the first two much either.

This is a typical Michael Bay directed movie.  Lot's of special effects and things that go boom.  Not much in the way of plot.  Let's be honest though, you don't go to a movie like this for an intricate plot.

Most of the same gang from the first two return.  The lead is again Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) who has saved the world twice and has a medal from the President but can't find a job.  The new cast member is Sam's new girlfriend Carly Miller (played by supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) who replaced Megan Fox who thumbed her nose at the series and was sent packing.  Okay, I'll believe bright yellow Camero's can turn itself into a huge robot but there is not way a dufus like Sam would have one hot girlfriend like that much less two!

Not even going to try to describe the storyline.  I am frustrated in these movies where I can not tell the good robots from the bad robots.  I also get frustrated by the complete lack of logic in some of the decisions made.  Yeah I know, I shouldn't worry about plot.  Just watch things blow up.

If you liked the other Transformers movie's I feel sure you will like this one too.  All two and half hours of it.  For me it was not my cup of tea.
