After 'Revenge of the Fallen' we can't hope much for this

Rating: 5/10 (3 October 2011)

After the disappointing Revenge of the Fallen, director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg release the latest entry of their Transformers series. I'm not hoping much from this one because well...Michael Bay rarely make a good sequel, and my prediction is right, Dark of the Moon is a standard action adventure movie and just like other sci-fi series, flashy special effect won't help much on the third
The leader of Autobot, Sentinel Prime, carry an invention that can end the war between Decepticon and Autobot. Unfortunately, his ship crashed on the moon and the invention is forever lost, well, until the autobot come to earth. Dark of the Moon's main story is the fight between Decepticon and Autobot to retrieve this invention because whoever possess it have the power to turn the tide of the war. The story actually pretty good if only Bay didn't mixed it (probably in 70/30 portion) with Sam's story. The human side of story in Transformers is not only unimportant, it's annoying and take too much of the film. I don't care about Sam's hardship to get work and settle down, i don't care about Sam's romance story. I watch Transformers because i want to see Transformers, i want to see Optimus Prime!
Dark of the Moon is just as boring as the 2nd. The last stand on Chicago is definitely too long to enjoy. Too many unnecessary scenes and the continuity and logic of each scenes is simply bad. The special effect is good but like i say, on the third, it doesn't matter anymore.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) 6/10
