Would have been something with a little bit of story in it.......

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2011)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is Michael Bay's third time handling the world of Autobots and Decepticons with some humans thrown around in there. Once again, the story revolves around Decepticons trying to bring life to their barren planet Cybertron and guess what they need - cheap labor. I guess if pondered on, this film might bring a new meaning to the word Outsourced.
Anyways, once again Michael Bay tries to make a movie which could have been good and satisfying. Unfortunately, it's not.
Overall, the movie is not good and this time there no attempts to hide it. Sentinel Prime is a good guy and somehow turns bad when he wakes up (he made a deal with Megatron some centuries ago). This was such a good plot that Michael couldn't wait to flaunt it and let everybody know that in the first half itself. Sometimes, I imagine what the result would have been if Sentinel had turned out evil in the last half. It would have been awesome. (of course the story would have been different but the idea is so enticing).
The direction is average. Michael has already proved that he is the Roland Emmerich equivalent - only he can direct much better fights. Shia LeBouf is okay and guess what this time Michael gave him a gun. Finally. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is Megan Fox' replacement but just not that good (Can anyone tell me if they were convinced of her having the guts and luck to talk to Megatron alone and walk away unhurt?). The robots as always were awesome and fight bigger than anything you can imagine.
Well, thats my take. The last thing I can say is whoever directs the next Transformers - Please let Michael Bay create the trailers because they are the only reason why this movie is said to be so awesome and good (in some cases).
