Spoilers Dark Side of the Moon Transformers

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2011)

I would have given this 10 out of 10 for the sheer visual effects, Shia playing Sam is always fun, John T. as Simmons and Sam's parent's all good fun. What I disliked was the replacement of Megan Fox with this Rose Huntington Whitley as I feared she was their replacement for Fox with someone hot but her acting stunk to high heaven. Megan Fox is no Oscar caliber actress but she and Shia were perfect as Sam & Mackala(sorry about the spelling). After two movies and her profound love for Sam to have it simply be that she dumped him was a pitiful joke. The actors from previous Transformers were good, Optimus and his gang were excellent and I felt sadness for them. This movie was good because of the special effects what they can do with the auto bots and decepticons is truly amazing. Sam was still a little goofy his parents hilarious. Patrick Dempsey and Rose Huntington Whitley's characters were too close for comfort I was with Sam on that one. Photos of them together looked like a couple not employee and employer. Carly played by RHW was just not likable at all pure eye candy for the guys. I know many will hate me for saying this but Shia & Megan had much better chemistry, the natural humor and seriousness of the situations it was missing here because RHW just stunk.
The powers that be made a major mistake by not getting Megan back she'd been with Shia through the beginning and understood the gravity of the situation. RHW just kind of screamed and pouted.
I will see the movie again simply for Sam, his parents, the nest team, Simmons and the auto bots but they could cut out all the RHW scenes and the film would be perfectly fine nothing missing at all.
All I can hope for is that if there is a sequel and after this one I think that is a huge if not a definite probably not. If they do they need to get on their hands and knees and beg Megan Fox back like I said she is not a Queen bee actress but the role was hers and it worked. As they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
