Michael Bay overdid this movie but took animation/graphics to next level

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2011)

I'm a hardcore transformers fan and just got home from from the cinemas. Got to say I am very disappointed and after Bay promising this movie was going to be a big step up from the last 2, it never felt like it.
Michael Bay overdid this movie, he should have kept it simple. He should have known the factors which made the last 2 movies a success and re create it or at least include some of it but Dark of the Moon tried to do too many things and failed to focus on the core.
A small example, for any movie the soundtrack is a major part and I was surprised to see it took an hour and half into the movie for transformers trademark soundtrack. Last 2 movies they gave me goosebumps every time Optimus Prime entered the scene with background music on, but this time around it was more like 'meh'.
I always thought Megan Fox was just about looks, but the new girl made Megan Fox's acting look very good. Graphics was overly well done. Probably the recent best movie in terms of action, explosion, robots and cars but if you are a hardcore transformers fan, lower your expectation. Nevertheless you will definitely get your money worth at the theater :)
