Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a visually ugly film with an incoherent plot, wooden characters and inane dialog. It provided me with one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies.
Rarely has a movie had less of a soul and less interesting characters.
The overwhelming sci-fi action spectacle is a merciless sensorial assault that leaves you with something akin to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Don't worry about remembering the characters -- the movie certainly doesn't.
Given the choice between sitting through 154 minutes of Transformers: Dark of the Moon and being waterboarded, I plead: Waterboard me!
The biggest casualties in this third installment of the robot franchise from director Michael Bay are storytelling and character development.
:lol my wife was telling me about some interview with Shia Leblefuusuje with him saying it's a better movie than the others.
Once again, Michael Bay oozes his chocolate onto my delicious sundae.

The general consensus seems to be that it's better than the second movie, but that's hardly an accomplishment...

You may be the only who thinks that.
Everything I've heard about Transformers 2, including from people that actually kind of liked the first one, is that it's an utter abomination.
No way. It's way better than Transformers 1!
No way. It's way better than Transformers 1!
Blatantly racist robots would like to disagree.
Actually, it may be better than T1, but it's still a steaming turd of a movie.

I hope in Transformers 3 there's a burrito Transformer with a mexican accent
Will it be able to top this the Tequila Gundam?
"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is too much in every direction -- too much action, too much plot, too much noise, too much destruction -- which is exactly what makes it the Wagnerian fulfillment of the American summer-movie tradition. It's a great and terrible film, in identical proportions and in all possible meanings of those words. It's got battling giant robots and hidden secrets of the American and Soviet space programs and feeble domestic comedy and random scenery-chewing shtick from an A-list supporting cast and an extreme close-up of a hot chick's bikini-clad bottom as she climbs the stairs. In 3-D! It's so massively and excessively vulgar that it doesn't just flirt with self-parody, but chews it up and spits it out, and I'm not even sure that's unintentional. In food terms, "Dark of the Moon" is like going to TGI Friday's and ordering everything on the menu and then going to Krispy Kreme and doing it again. It's not worth doing, it'll definitely make you sick and a lot of it will taste bad, but as a performance-art act of juvenile Id-fulfillment, it's magnificent.
Unlike all you corporate lapdogs who bitch endlessly about how shit these movies are but go to see them anyway, I have yet to see a Transformers movie :bow me :bow2
I can't imagine ever having so much free time that I'd even download them...and I watched The Expendables. I've literally never heard or read anyone, anywhere say these movies are good. And yet people persist in watching them. Just don't get it. Also will never watch the Crystal Skull.

im seeing this bitch in imax 3d
they made transformers age so you'd ignore that random teleportation to Egypt
who needs a script when you can distract viewers away from asking questions like "why am I watching a sequel to Transformers?"

I haven't seen any of them either! Hell, I literally didn't even know THIS movie existed until today!

My biggest gripe is that the Transformers look like shit. I would go and watch a bad movie if I liked how they looked.
Between this and my dad watching animu I don't know what to do!!!...what

hey homos, just bought 2 tickets to see this in IMAX 3D. Mwahahahaha
T2 however was pretty decent. The one problem that movie has is pacing. It drags because there's a section where it's nothing but human characters and it's so boring, but after that it's nuts.
Murder Prime is Best Prime though.Yes! The autobots are pretty fucking evil during fights even though they're the "good" guys. :lol

refer to Transformers 2 as "T2" again and i will drag your balls out through your esophagus
hello there Mr :tophathey homos, just bought 2 tickets to see this in IMAX 3D. Mwahahahaha
well hello there Mr Lowest Common Denominator
wow. That's kinda crazy low. The 3D IMAX showings at my theater had a sign last night as I was leaving that said Transformers 3D Imax Experience was sold out til next Tuesday.
Optimus vs Sentinel Prime was a pretty great scene.What.... WHAT!!!.... HEY MAN F*CK YOU FOR SPOILING THAT!!! Man you just ruined my summer.
I think his name is Mirage.
Oh, is it one of those fill-in-the-blank things?
Transformers: Dark of the Moon [because we didn't wanna be sued by Roger Waters]
Additional aside:lol what
In this "modern era" of 3d, I have only seen two 3d films: Avatar and Transformers 3.
I liked Avatar's 3d effects; I thought they were natural and well done.
In T3, I thought it was gawdawful and distracted from the experience. If, as I suspect, the majority of 3d films fall closer to Transformers 3 than Avatar, I will definitely be going out of my way to find 2d showings, or waiting until Blu-Ray. 'Cause, FUCK, the 3D was useless and annoying in this flick.

the 3d effects in transformers 3 were on par with the ones with avatar, if not better (this is the overwhelming consensus)
i wish the majority of films fell close to transformers 3 in regards to 3d

And where is this "overwhelming consensus" documented? Some other message board? :p
That's pretty neat, reusing the shots and all.
