Even though "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" takes a small step in the right direction, the third film in the series is still not good. At least the beginning on Cybertron and on the Moon and the finale in Chicago are halfway entertaining. Otherwise, the same criticisms that plagued the predecessors apply. The plot is thin and stupid, the female characters are poorly written, and the humor is intolerable. Furthermore, the action is once again badly directed.

As the lead, Shia LaBeouf is nothing but exhausting anymore. Meanwhile, new to the cast is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who replaces Megan Fox as the female lead. And there's certainly a reason why Fox still works as an actress these days, at least in B-productions, and Huntington-Whiteley doesn't. Verdict: Better than the second film, but just barely.
