Just let me remind you: The two previous Transformers movies box office is around 1.500.000.000 US-Dollar! So there was a huge financial pressure on Michael Bay & Co, but let me promise you: Transformers: Dark of the Moon will get in the same [or a higher] category as the previous movies.
But let's start now:
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is not only the best entry in Michael Bays Transformers saga, it's also one of the best action movies of the year so far!
It seems like Michael Bay did many things right! I can just remember the second movie, just action, no sense, no style, 'Revenge of the Fallen' just SUCKED!
So I was excited about TF3 and if Michael Bay was able to take that challenge.
Well he did. The first point I want to name is the well written script. The script from Ehren Kruger fits perfectly to Michael Bays directing style and the new part about it is that the characters, especially the supporting characters seem to fit in the whole story!
Let me just name a few strange supporting actors, who I really enjoyed: Ken Jeong, Patrick Dempsey, Alan Tudyk and of course the always-funny-guy John Malkovich! So with these guys there were added really lots of funny moments, which was really entertaining!
Megan Fox, who flamed Michael Bay as 'Hitler on set', finally got fired by Steven Spielberg himself [what a honor]! Seriously guys, even if she was hot, who wants to have such a bitch on set, you recognize it if the atmosphere wasn't that good, believe me!
Well, not much time later, Bay founds an alternate, who has to play the female assistant of the main character Sam Witwicky [Shia LaBeouf]:
Victoria's Secret angel Rosie Huntington Whiteley!
The didn't show an oscar-performance, so I...... What the **** ?!
This shit is not interesting in a Transformers movie! Hell, we want a sexy woman with sexy moments and: She did it very good, 'cause she's beautiful guys!
But let me continue with the main argument to watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon:
The action-sequences were just jaw-droppingly impressive! The movie's opening with a fight from Autobots vs. Decepticons and it's really epic, but that's just ONE short sequence and there are a few more. Let me say: The last 45 minutes are just awesome and it'll take it's time to see so much action, so well composed again on screen!
I'm sure next year in Academy Awards time the FX-departement won't be forgotten, or I'll kill them all!
Even if there are quick sequences, we get also awesome slow-mos with beautiful composed music!
I just have to add that the 3D is AWESOME! My opinion is that it's with Avatar one of the best 3D movies til now and you can see they used the same technology like James Cameron used.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon may seems to be a little long at some moments, but I enjoyed the movie and think it'll be one of my favorites 2011! It's the best Transformers movie and Michael Bay did almost all things right.
You should definitley watch this movie, I can fully recommend it to you!
So enjoy it and let me know your opinion!
