Not going to the Razzies.

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2011)

Shia Labeouf is back in Transformers: Dark of the moon, a film that I didn't quite understand but I still enjoyed it to some extent. Unlike its predecessor, the third film takes the time to tell a bit of story, until the last hour which kind of goes out the window.
Its been 2 years since Sam(Shia Labeouf) has had to deal with these damn robots. Since then, hes graduated from college, and has gotten a new girlfriend(Rosie Hunnington Whitely, who isn't as hot as Megan Fox but has a bigger role). But, this of course can't last long. Because at his new job, a transformer attacks and some other things happen, and one thing leads to another, and there is an hour long battle.
I know there is a plot somewhere, I just couldn't follow. And I understood Inception, so thats saying something. But unlike last time, Bay takes the time to tell a plot for a good hour and a half, until the last battle, which he takes time for the cool action sequences. The humans are the main reason to see this though. This has a great cast, which features Frances McDormand as a government agent, and John Malkovich as Sam's boss, and Patrick Dempsey (spoiler) as the villain.
If only Dark of the moon didn't drag on for so long. I may be giving it a slightly higher rating. Its not that bad, especially compared to the sequel, which sucked major ass. Bay should really close his trilogy here before its too late. Before he goes back to Revenge of the fallen territory again. I think you should rent it. Unless you have the tolerance for 2 and a half hours of fighting toys.
B-
