I loved the first Transformers and while not it had its cringe-worthy moments I felt it was respectful to the original cartoon I grew up with and had amazing effects and a decent story. I hated Revenge of the Fallen for a lot of reasons which I don't think I need to go into. Dark of the Moon is NOT a good movie. Gradually these films turned away from the source material and morphed into some guy's vision. Some guy who never even watched the original cartoon. Megatron went from ultimate badass "harbinger of death" in part 1 to weakling in parts 2 and 3. Starscream was never that sniveling. Twirling his hands and hunching over like Igor. Laserbeak talks? Soundwave takes orders from a human? And who are all these lame madeup Autobots and Decepticons? The Wreckers? Dino? Are you serious with that? That green head robot licking Abe Lincoln's head? The worm thing? Where are all the Transformers we grew up with and loved? Dino.....unbelievable. The comedy was WAY too much and just stupid. The annoying twins are replaced with equally annoying tiny robots. I never really had a problem with the robot designs but in ROTF and DOTM they tried to make them look more human with hair, beards, glasses, ears, and lame garbage that makes them look stupid (see Wheeljack). The story was incomprehensible. Sentinel Prime was going to Earth to meet Megatron with traitor Autobots to steal natural resources then got blasted and crashed on the moon? So Cybertron is destroyed now? The only reason I went to see this dumb movies and waste my money was because the blogs and a lot of people (not critics)were saying it was the best of the three films. Bulls***! Avoid this movie if you thought ROTF was awful. I am done with this franchise and I hope they don't make any more. I guess they can't since all the Decepticons are dead now. Yay!
