All you cheapskates can feel comfortable splurging a little to go rent Transformers: Dark of the Moon for $1.00 at Redbox. Except for all you moon landing conspiracy buffs. This will just make you more paranoid.
This is a good movie for being "based on toys from Hasbro". While you can't expect much from the dialogue or plot and the movie lasts a little long, it is bursting with visual spectacle:
Cool robots - though it's hard to distinguish one Decepticon from another.
Cool cars - I wonder how many DB yellow (the official Chevrolet color name) Camaros get sold due to this movie?
Action, fighting, explosions!
Lots of famous actors I didn't expect like Greensboro's finest Ken Jeong, Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand. I actually enjoyed all the goofiness these actors brought to the movie over all the robot action.
And yes, every Transformers 3 review has to include a mention of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, our favorite robot in disguise and Megan Fox replacement. While she did fine in this movie, ol' wonky thumbs actually had more depth to her character in the first two Transformers movies.
How's that for more than meets the eye?
