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. Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) believes that resurrecting ancient Transformer Sentinel Prime (Leonard Nimoy), once the leader of the Autobots, may lead to victory. That decision, however, has devastating consequences; the war appears to tip in favor of the Decepticons, leading to a climactic battle in Chicago.

Critics Consensus

Its special effects -- and 3D shots -- are undeniably impressive, but they aren't enough to fill up its loud, bloated running time, or mask its thin, indifferent script.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

So how does Michael Bay justify making a third? Why, by making the film a little dense as to plot, and giving it perhaps the longest climax ever in Hollywood history.

Rated: 2/5

Kim Newman

Sight & Sound

There ought to be a way to make a live-action film about giant shapeshifting robots that's either a) fun or b) awesome... It's blatantly evident that Bay can only just about manage b) long enough to provide the shots needed to cut into a trailer.

Reel Talk Online

Never mind the ridiculous subtitle. It's really just a precursor for what is to come from the rest of the movie. And Transformers: Dark of the Moon doesn't even try to play down its idiocy.

Rated: D+

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a flawed film, yes, but it’s not nearly as bad as Revenge of the Fallen and takes major steps into the franchise.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Are we forgetting compelling humans actors in this? Apparently so, but you won't find one intelligent or compelling in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." They are all thin, dumb, and forgettable.

But at the heart of the myth, the Transformers have always been toys and Bay should treat them as such, psyching himself up to tell the tried and true story of action and adventure. [Full review in Spanish]

Dimitra T Der Film hat tolle Action.Guten Score aber ich finde die komplette Mitte des Films extrem langweilig und die ging exakt eine Stunde lang.Die Endschlacht hat den Film echt getragen das der Film nicht so schlecht war.Aber Sams neue Freundin fand ich grauenhaft und die Schauspielerin spielt echt nicht gut.Ein Film der nicht so schlecht ist aber jetzt auch nicht gut. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Cody M It has far too many action scenes which you can't make out, and a unnecessary use of certain elements that just prolong the movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: BomAtuação: BomRoteiro: BomCaracterização: BomSoundtrack: Bom Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Audience Member An underrated movie. The last 90 minutes are fantastic. 8.1/10 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Gustavo M The best movie of the franchise Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Dave C Very similar formula to the second movie... and equally long-winded. However, there are some better performances and the story seems to support the action more than its predecessor Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
