Transformers: Dark Of The Moon

Rating: 3/10 (2 July 2011)

The three stars I have given the film are based on its technical accomplishments (in case you were wondering). These include the digital effects, the general quality of the action scenes and set-pieces, the Steve Jablonsky score, some of the art direction and designs (the word 'some' being the keyword here) and finally the implementation of the 3D effect (though 3D in film is just that - an effect. It does not alter the quality - or lack thereof - of a film).
My feelings on all other aspects of the film (and also 'Revenge Of The Fallen' and to a far lesser extent the first Transformers) I pose in the form of the following question:
How can such an appealingly simple, low-concept idea get so much, so wrong?
Even "low-brow" entertainment can be done well and done poorly you know folks (very poorly in this particular case).
