Review of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) by Mrmoviebuff — 08 Jul 2015

A lot of people say that "Dark of the Moon" is better than "Revenge of the Fallen", which isn't saying much, but I think it's actually worse than the previous film.

The film is long, bloated, obnoxious, annoying and damn right bland. Shia LaBeouf returns as the main "hero" Sam Witwicky, and this time he has a new girlfriend, Carly, who is played by British model, Rosie Hungington Whitley...that's right, Model, not actress. This just goes to show that director Michael Bay only cares for young, attractive women who have to look good instead of act good. The problem is that these two actors have no chemistry whatsoever.

A girl who seems unrealistically calm like Carly, what is she doing sticking around with someone who is loud and not-so-courageous like Sam? I'll tell you why...because the screenplay says so.

There are some really tasteless and unfunny moments that involve Ken Jeong, such as the scene where he takes Shia LaBeouf's character to a workplace bathroom and constantly says "Deep Wang" numerous times. Does Michael Bay honestly think this is funny? This is supposed to be an action film not a comedy film, then again, if it was a comedy film, it isn't very funny.

Humor in action films are supposed to be subtle and occur when the film gets a little too serious, but I honestly cannot remember a single actor taking any of these events seriously.

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' is worse than "Revenge of the Fallen", after watching the film for about an hour and a half, I was already done, but clearly Michael Bay hadn't finished yet and he had to rinse the film for another hour too long.
