Transformers:The Dark Side of the Moon Review

I went and saw "Transformers Three, the DARK SIDE OF THE MOOON" this past weekend. It has everything you need in a summer blockbuster! An alien invasion! Lots of HUGE EXPLOSIONS!!! The Asian guy from the Hangover!! Wait what? Yes. its true. Ken Jeong made an apperance that garned a few giggles.... in my showing anyway.

What did I think of it?

Overall, I was very entertained. It was a lot of fun, and very summer blockbustery. The only weird thing about it was it was sooo uneven. The interactions with people were almost unwatchably cheezy!! The action was sooo pumped up and amazing! The Decepticons had more interesting personalities than the Autobots. At times I felt like rooting for the bad guys. Then I felt bad about rooting for the bad guys cause they made me care about the good guys again.

The Good -

• The plot was entertaining, and I loved the aspects of history they drew into it.
• They had some cool cameos, John Malovich, Ken Jeong, Buzz Aldrin and Patrick Dempsey all showed up ready to go.
• Lots of action, explosions and cool graphics.
• Also some really great scenes with driving and transforming. One of the best scenes in the movie (IMO) involved Sam Witwicki and Bumblebee during a chase scene.
• I LOVED the invasion aspect of it. Poor Chicago.

The Bad -

• Bad dialogue that had the theater silent, not a single chuckle in a very mixed and diverse crowd.
• Tyrese lives on. LOL.
• Also, the ending seemed well, quite abrupt after the whole 2.5 hours previous. But maybe they figured the $195M was enough.
• A couple of odd side storylines I felt didn't tie up satisfactorily, but that's nitpicking.
• It felt like they crammed alot of stuff in here. Like they really wanted to include Josh Duhamel and Tyrese, so they did, but perhaps at the expense of the viewers.

The Meh -

• Sam Witwicky had another stunner of a girlfriend who's job was to scream real loud, make disappointed faces and look amazing in spandex clothing. I mean come on, Whats a girl got to do to be beautiful and get some dialogue?
• Also, the movie was 2.5 hours long. It didn't feel extremely long or drag, but I was in that theater for a long a$$ time LOL.

Bottom line, I enjoyed it, and I would recommend seeing this one on a big screen, with surround sound, if you can. Its one of those that is better on a large, clear screen.

I would like to point out that this film took in $372 million in opening weekend, so I assume some of you guys saw it too! LOL! What did you think of it?

I totally forgot to take pics of what I was wearing so I owe you. :-/
