'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' movie review

You can read my review of the film here.






Pros

- It doesn't suck as much as the movie that came before it did.

- Interesting ideas are brought up, but aren't fleshed out enough.

- The autobots shown feature much brighter colors.  Even if you don't know who they are specifically, it does help you at least distinguish which ones were the good guys and which ones were the bad guys when the big fights broke out.




Cons



- The human characters are downright despicable this time around.  Furthermore, they eat up a lot of the movie's screen time.

- The autobots themselves are practically reduced to making cameo appearances.  Optimus Prime only has about a half hour of screen time, if that. The other autobots don't fare much better.

- The movie is over 2 1/2 hours long and it does not have enough meat to justify that run time.


Overall

This franchise really had nowhere to go but up.  This is better than 'Revenge of the Fallen' in many respects, but it still makes a lot of the same mistakes.  It doesn't suck as much as the second movie, but it still sucks and isn't worth your time.
