Better than Revenge but still average

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2013)

I wanted to like this movie. I wanted to be optimistic about the finale of the trilogy. Sadly, despite some good and even great moments, Dark Side of the Moon falls prey to the faults of the first two films.
Too much focus on the human drama- yes, I know the films want to connect to a modern audience, but to fans of the original cartoons, the focus should be on the struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons, something that the films misunderstood completely.
The set-pieces are very impressive. The huge tunneling thing that crushes buildings is a sight to see. Still, the film just doesn't feel like it was about the Transformers, and so for me, misses the point.
