Wondering Whether to Take Your Kid to See Transformers: Dark of the Moon?

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2011)

Yes, according to our 13-year-old film critic, Raven Devanney. But, it is really only appropriate for kids ages 13 and up. View her video review here or read below:
"Transformers 3, Dark of the Moon is a non-stop thrill ride. This action packed film is a fantastic addition in the Transformers series. The cinematography and special effects are absolutely breathtaking in 3D! This film has so much action and the sound effects are so intense that it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire film!
My favorite character is Bumblebee because he is so sweet and he is there to catch Sam when he falls. Literally! And of course, once again, I love Shia LeBeouf's performance! I have been a fan of his acting for years, even before Transformers. My favorite scene is in the beginning when it shows actual footage of the moon launch because it is fascinating to see how many people were so eager to witness that back then.
I love this movie so much because it has everything: Action, comedy, suspense and romance. The one thing I think is unnecessary in this movie is that every time the Decepticons are killed, they bleed. It's weird because that didn't happen in the first two films and they are machines—they can't bleed! Also, the blood looks very unrealistic so it seems pointless.
This film is for ages 13 and up because there is a lot of adult humor that is very inappropriate for younger audiences. This film has a lot more violence than the first films. There are also somewhat gruesome deaths throughout the movie.
Overall, I give Transformers 3 two thumbs up!!!!" Review by Raven Devanney, age 13, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic
