Story? Let's blow something up!

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2012)

"Dark Of The Moon" is the first Transformers movie that I actually liked a lot. The others are good fun and all, but they're never what "they could have been". And, to be honest, Michael Bay is a great visual director, but a TERRIBLE storyteller. It shows a lot in almost everything he touches ("Pearl Harbor" being the best example of how the man, simply, can't tell a story).
Having said that, I feel that Bay directed this movie with the single intent to show us one of the greatest fire-work movies of all time. Screw the story, the characters and the substance and let's simply blow something up. The "final fight" last for about an hour and I just didn't want it to end.
Let's face it, nobody walks in a Transformers movie for the story, that's just stupid. If you want to see some of the greatest action scenes ever made, watch this film. If you're looking for a great story and a beautiful romance, go see Titanic or something else. This is a film for the eyes. And it delivers it in an amazing fashion.
