Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon - Double Play (Blu-ray)

After the disappointment of Rise Of The Fallen everything depended on this third chapter of Director Michael Bay's Trilogy.
Things did not look too good at the start of production Megan Fox got the boot, there was reported problems with the 3D so all the critics must have been sharpening their knives for Michael Bay.
The simple fact is that the critics who love to loath these films will have a field day, not just because it's a Transformers movie but because it'S a Michael Bay movie too a double whammy for them!
But for those who just go to the cinema to be entertained will love every jaw dropping minute. Dark Of The Moon deals with all the problems of the second movie and this time gives us a plot with a propper nerative... well for a film about battleing transforming robot aliens it does. The film starts a bit slower this time, where we pick up with Shia LaBeouf after the split with Megan Fox and we get introduced to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (posh name) who is a under wear mdel in real life and it shows. The fact that the film is all about the clashing of metal she is the only wooded and plastic thing in the film, she even makes Fox look like an oscar worthy actress as she is that aweful, but this is a action film based on Robots and not a film about actors, this actually is a paradox as there is some acting heavy weights in the film, most notably John Malkovich, who is wasted in another mental performance, and also the ever excellent Frances McDormand as the brassy head of op's.
Shia LaBeouf is always watchable and has brilliant comic timeing that helps in the clunky first forty minutes.
Things do liven up to bedlam after this as the plot kicks in..... Then the action, mass destuction that's off the scale and the NOISE.
Transformers is what you want and this delivers, with some of the most jaw dropping action put to screen, the film out does anything in the previous movies. The highlight is the collapseing building as the war destroy's Chicago. The final battle is nothing like anything seen on the big screen. The 3D in the cinema version is truly awesome and I felt myself ducking as cars, buildings and robotic limps spray the screen.
I'm not going to beat around the bush. the film is L O N G maybe by half an hour, but so were the other two. some of the comedy is a bit clunky, but serves this type of film perfectly as it never aims to be serious ( how could it) and in the world that we live, where there is unrest in the middle east, terrorist groups looking for revenge for their fallen, I for one cannot think of a better place to switch off from reality for two and a half hours and watch waring transforming robotic aliens slug it out on the big screen.
This is what blockbusters are all about, and this is the best Transformers movie to date.

Michael Bay gets so much negativity over these awesome films which is not needed, they are an epic trilogy of films that have certainly grown over the years, Dark of the moon is by far the best with an amazing amount of action that takes up the whole three hours running time, transformers could not have been done with more style taking it way beyond a cheesy 80s cartoon. This has an awesome story, an epic showcase of awesome effects, great robots, Optimus prime is amazing in this film as well as the others, the cast is great, personally I missed the beautiful Megan Fox not being in it but it didnt matter she had a sexy replacement for the eye candy in the film. The music score is epic as always, this is a must see for an epic display of quality action that every blockbuster movie should have!! Transformers fans should be proud!

3d amazing best yet
film is great by does dragg a little

I agree Bay gets too much stick and he has made 3 fantastic films but what I am disappointed in is the fact there are no extras in Dark Of The Moon. Bay has released the blu-ray in time for Xmas and plans on bringing out another one in 3D with the extras after Xmas so everyone has to buy it again. I think this is one of the best films of all time but I think this is wrong, especially in this climate.
