a huge improvement, but a flat ending to the trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2011)

In 2009, Michael bay graced us with transformers revenge of the fallen. The highest grossing punching bag of the past five years. critics and fans bashed the crap out of Michael and his movie, and made him pick up his teeth and walk away with his tail between his legs. Transformers dark of the moon picks up after the events of the last movie, Sam was dumped(due to Megan fox being fired). and has found Carly, a British babe, who is surprisingly better than Megan fox. Now the story was pretty good up until the huge Chicago battle scenes. they completely forget the conspiracy of the 1969 moon landing. and they never came full circle with it. Now I'm not complaining. the last hour and a half was freaking epic. But i wish that the story wasn't sacrificed for huge action scenes with robots kicking ass. The visual and special effects are the best in the series by far. All of the Autobots and especially the Decepticons look incredible. This movie did a lot of things well, and it did a couple of things wrong. the last little problem i had was the ending. They didn't end it like it was the end of the trilogy, all the ending was, all of the heroes meeting on one of the bridges in Chicago, doing all of the slow motion walking and what not. it should have closed the trilogy on Sam, not a fast zoom to optimus' face. all in all, great movie.
