I actually didn't mind the big all-out war at the end, at least I could tell what the fuck was happening this time around. And though Frances McDormand's (Burn After Reading, Darkman) character Mearing, is all together annoying, her screen presence and acting ability are a remarkable addition to the franchise. John Malkovich (Burn After Reading, Being John Malkovich) is (of course) great as Whitwicky's boss. Josh Duhamel (Turistas, The Picture of Dorian Gray) and Tyrese Gibson (Death Race, Four Brothers) are BAMFs. Simmons himself, played by John Turturro (Barton Fink, O Brother, Where Art Thou?) is great too, better than in Transformers or Revenge of the Fallen. Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Tucker & Dale VS Evil) is both incredible and hilarious as Dutch, Simmons' German assistant. Though I whinge about LeBouf and Fox (or Huntington-Whiteley, as the case is for Dark of the Moon) as characters, and wish they'd drop the mankind crap in favour of the Cybertronians, what I really felt was best about this entry was the human support cast. Personally I feel Dark of the Moon is the most intellectual Transformers film to date (which is really, really, really not saying much) and it sort of took the intense Giant-Space-Robot-Cars-Battle-Each-Other-A-Lot that was the entirety of Revenge of the Fallen and then gave it a followable storyline that actually involved the reason and ways that Giant-Space-Robot-Cars-Battle-Each-Other-A-Lot rather than the completely despicable and nonsensical "plot" of Transformers 2. On the one hand, it meant that she was replaced with a thoroughly more annoying and less attractive love-intrest, but it also meant that there was less focus on the Sam Witwicky aspect of the story, which I personally got sick of about half way through Revenge of the Fallen, at best. I'm not sure if Megan Fox quit or was fired from the Transformer films, but her doing so was sort of a double edged sword. Not that I was really hoping for much, but still! The most no-nonsense entry to the franchise, Dark of the Moon was honestly more than I'd hoped for. of Sci-Fi Violenc|Language|Mayhem and Destruction) of Sci-Fi Action|Innuendo|Some Sexuality|Intense Seq. That decision, however, has devastating consequences the war appears to tip in favor of the Decepticons, leading to a climactic battle in Chicago. Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) believes that resurrecting ancient Transformer Sentinel Prime (Leonard Nimoy), once the leader of the Autobots, may lead to victory.
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his new girlfriend, Carly (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), join the fray when the evil Decepticons renew their longstanding war against the Autobots.
