Transformers= Okay... Transformers 2= WTF?! Transformers 3= Great!

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2011)

I just returned from one of the Dark of the Moon premiers. To tell you truth, I didn't have high hopes for this one after I saw the mess of Revenge of the Fallen. But when I left the theater, I thought WOW! Bay redeemed himself! What makes this movie great is the whole story plot with the alien space ark and pillars that could create a space bridge between Earth and Cybertron. I'm not saying anymore. I also loved the new characters which were not only robots but humans as well. Some of them brought the comedy to the film.
What I didn't like about this film is the whole hour and a half of chaos in Chicago at the end. This is where Bay didn't learn his lesson. He thinks to make an excellent movie is to destroy cities and bring destruction and violence. My other problem: Everyone knows how the main villain is this film is supposed to be Shockwave. I was going to see a whole new transformer so I was curious to see how he was like. Wrong! He only appears twice in the film and you learn like nothing about him except his name. It's hard to call him the "main villain" when it's probably Megatron again.
Overrall, great film compared to the other two. Bay has made progress! Totally recommend it!
