Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Good movie but grossly overrated

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I love this movie, especially by the fact it's an action one - and Michael Bay sure knows how to do an action film right! The last hour or so of the film really blew my mind, so much fun and games for everyone. Not only that, but I find it to be in my top list of the best films of all time; I may have seen most of the greatest films ever made and had different opinions on them, but none of them I have seen can top this film here! An exhilarated masterpiece to the live-action Transformers saga out of the three films I own and the last GOOD one that I know of. Going forward, the films fluctuate in quality: some being good or bad, but none of them can recapture the magic of three.

This is boring like it's very dull. I'm sick of tired of Michael Bay's Transformer movies like they could of end it here and made a reboot instead. I know 4 & 5 is going to suck. The script is lazy and poorly written. If a better director direct this movie it'll be miles better. Please they need to canceled this series now.

The Transformer franchise steady going up with its revenue at the international box office from 390,463,587.00 U.S. Dollars in 2007 to 858,614,996.00 U.S. Dollars in 2014, due to the increasing interest of a teenage target group on the Asian markets, especially China. Nevertheless the U.S. domestic has not been so generous, looking at a steady down curve since 2009er "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", where the franchise had its peak with a life time gross of 402,111,870.00 U.S. Dollars, which marks a close to 100,000.00 U.S. Dollars average per given screen of a total of 4,293 screens in the United States.Many consider "Transformers: Dark of The Moon" the most entertaining part after the Original from 2007. A opinion, which I do not second. The movie has occasional exceptional action sequences, but a weak antagonist with in fair-distance-operating Shockwave. The character of Sam Witwicky, played by Shia Labeouf disappoints in his internal development since part 1 and no new girl-friend can hide the fact of stagnation. Even so the actor gives some fine beats, when it comes to a job interview montage sequence.The job interview sequence is probably the reason, why it is still possible to watch the movie again as I did today. John Malkovich and Ken Joeng support Shia Labeouf in the following office scenes, which have some fair screwball moments before the next metaled action sequence strikes. Nevertheless "Transformers: Dark of The Moon" directed by Michael Bay feels unbalanced in its pace. The director has the eye to capture all the angles necessary and make cameras move to get visual information across. Furthermore, he created his own signature shots since 1995, which stand the test of time. But there is just not enough spinal bone matter in the script by Ehren Kruger to put this event movie out of its franchise misery. And no archival footage of 1960s enriched with state of the art CGI morphing technology to rebuild J.F. Kennedy's oval office can help the fact of "Transformers: Dark of The Moon" making a loosely stretched out clashing robot montage.The fresh start of Summer 2014 with "Transformers: Age of Extinction" has been welcome, which arguably marks the more entertaining movie in my opinion, if you look closely enough into the father-daughter-relationship entangled by governmental industrial forces. It needs to be proved, if a franchise with such production value as well as marketing demands still has its right of existence to be produced by a major studio as Paramount Pictures in the year 2017, who bet his mid-term future on two more upcoming "Transformers" movies.

Nowhere near as utterly garbage as the first films in this but whenever the military guys show up there's an overwhelming amount of terrible, forced jargon and clichés. Genuinely entertaining at times with all the visuals and slow-mo you'd expect from Michael Bay, but it is difficult to get past the terrible dialogue at times.
