Transformers: Dark of the Moon

I saw this four days ago. It is the last in the trilogy and I have to say the best out of all three.
The film is directed by Michael Bay and stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Frances McDormand, Patrick Dempsey, and John Malkovich.
The plot line is somewhat different, but maintains the same theme: the autobots trying to save the earth from the decepticons.
The performances by the actors are phenomenal. The gags are funnier and the dialogue is clever. I have seen a lot of horrible reviews for this film and I don't totally agree with them. Sure, not a lot of people want to go see robot carnage and I can understand that. Its just senseless action. Which brings me to the point of Real Steel; I don't know how people will react to robots boxing each other via their human controllers. However, to the hardcore Transformers fan, it will seem visually awesome. Although the theme is always going to be the same, Michael Bay ramped up the action so much that you will nearly forget the dialogue and just watch the characters nearly die, which is a good thing. It keeps your eyes on the screen.
3 1/2 out of 4.
