Great effects! Not so great storyline...

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2011)

This movie had great elements in it. It had action, comedy, romance, and suspense. The problem was that instead of all of these aspects getting woven together into an enjoyable movie, they were randomly thrown in throughout the film with the hope that they would somehow make a good movie. Well unfortunately that doesn't work! The whole movie seemed like many events mashed together with no real flow to it. One minute there would be some type of awkward comedy going on and the next there would be a full on battle. It just didn't make any sense! All of the characters seemed extremely flat and the twists were predictable. Also, Sam's love interest, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Victoria's Secret model), while being attractive has very little acting skills and it was quite obvious during the movie. On a positive note, though, the effects in Transformers 3 were breathtaking! It was, in fact, one of the only things that kept my attention. The bottom line is that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a good movie if all you like is action, but if you actually like a storyline its definitely a rough film to watch.
