Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Went to watch Transformers over the weekend..the 3D one somemore but it wasnt as good as the trailer promised. Well, its Michael Bay not James Cameron..so I guess its not surprising that the movie is just 2 and a half hr of mindless action and explosion. The timeline has been drawn and redrawn since Revenge of the Fallen until everything just doesnt make sense anymore. What is the deal with the giant octopus thingy that reminds me of the Sentinels in the Matrix. Just upsized version. Why isit called Soundwave? Is it part of Soundwave? Why is Soundwave so powerful? Why is Megatron screen time so short and easily killed by Optimus Prime at the end? So many questions popped up when I was watching the movie and to be honest, I didnt really care until the end. One thing I hate is the cheap and lame humor, whats with the thing about Sam's mum? Its not funny at all and its a waste of time. Sam is bloody irritating in this movie, screaming like a spoilt brat, or should i say a girl, at every instance. Sometimes I wish the robots just step on him. Its amazing he survived all the mayhem without a scratch. Even more amazing is Carly beautiful white shirt which remained so white without a stain after going through the battlefield. Overall, I think its another disappointment, after the totally unnecessary Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
