Okay, let's get one thing clear: there is no dark side of the moon.

There is, however, yet another movie by Bay, and watching this you too will ask "aren't there supposed to be robots in this?" Now he's done, let's hope the next person who deals with this series will actually want to make a Transformers movie.

In this exciting adventure Sam Witwicky has a hot girlfriend (somehow) and gets caught up when Decepticons do stuff, and must join up with the Autobots to help save the world... just like in the other movies. Oh, and there's a fight that involves humans running around firing guns... just like in the other movies. You could be mistaken for thinking they simply tried to redo an old script...

One thing about this movie really annoyed me: the humour. Every single time they tried for the funny, they failed. This is usually because the "comedy" involves Shia LaBeouf, or the Witwicky parents who are pure comedy death. Gah! I am wondering there there could be a "fan edit" of these films which cut out all "humourous" scenes... and the scenes with just army guys... although the resulting frenetic cuts will probably cause seizures.

What a waste of Leonard Nimoy. Really? In some ways, if he said 'I did it for the money' I could respect that more than 'I cared about the script'. I'm also not sure why John Malkovich agreed to do what the script said. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is there entirely to look pretty (as completely overdone in the Dylan car scene, you'll know the one, Bay doesn't do subtle). And while she wasn't terrible, I did expect her to say that it was absolutely fascinating.

Anyway, can we move on now, please?
