I am now dumber for seeing this movie :(

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2011)

I felt the first transformers movie was excellent. It was new, original, and simple in what it tried to accomplish. The same can not be said for Dark of the Moon. What made this movie terrible was Bay's attempt to appeal to a mass audience. He tried to make an action, horror, comedy, romance movie and unfortunately the end product was extremely cheesy. Also, the movie had poor physics. How many times can a human being jump through panes of glass and not receive any cuts? I freely admit that I half expected this to be a bad movie and what I was looking forward to was the 3D animation. However, even that lacked originality to it as it was simply debris flying everywhere as the 3D showcase. The one saving grace of this movie was LaBeouf's performance, who carried this movie on his back by creating a believable world of metal robots and bad actors and actresses. I will not be watching another Bay movie in my lifetime.
