Really? just terrible?
Terrible movies would be, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Just Friends, Waiting..., all starring Anna Faris. The girl is funny, but don't rip on the transformers movies and call them terrible when you like Anna Faris's body of work.
I enjoy the Transformer movies for what they are, big, alien robots kicking ass. If I want depth, I'll go watch The Kings Speech. To each his own, everyone likes what they like. That's what I love about this world. Someone liked this movie, it made 350 million in the USA. You wanna talk flops, Mars Needs Moms flopped.

Ahh the quest for more money - aka the double dip.
They should have had all the extensive extras for the 2D version, too....

It doesn't say anything about a 2 disc dvd set all it says is stupid 3D c**p which I can't watch because it gives me a headache and dizziness

Garbage filmmaking at its finest. I have friends who actually like this trash and they call it "the best action movie ever."
seriously guys? did u fail to note the part about a deluxe edition coming out with tons of special features a few months later? Not just for the 3D version, there will be a deluxe 2D DVD & BD aswell, so i dont know what everyone is complaining about no two disc set for, they clearly stated a deluxe edition will follow in a few months

So he can release 1 and 2 on 2 disc dvds but screw everybody on the final movie what the hell is wrong with him and the studio .
Not the best story and not expecting it to be. It was a good movie for the robot battles.
Liked it better then the second and will buy the BR. Don't know how anyone can say worse movie of the year when plenty of movie reviewed lower by critics and viewers alike.
They're not making "The Dark Knight Rises" in 3D, nor "The Avengers." Ease up, sonny.
3D?
I saw it in 3D at the IMAX, and honestly you really aren't missing anything. I said to myself after "Avatar" that I would never do another 3D movie, but I decided to give Transformers 3 a shot, and NEVER AGAIN!!! I'm just not impressed with it, and after awhile those glasses just get on my last nerve. Never again. Not even with the upcoming "Avengers", or "The Dark Night Rises". NEVER AGAIN!!!

Yes, the Blu will include the 7.1 mix. Bay had the sound mixer supervise the home theater mix, and apparently both Blu and DVD releases will have 5.1 Discrete Dolby Digital and English 2.0 Discrete Surround tracks.
I might spring for the combo pack, since apparently the DVD in that one won't drop all the dub tracks.

Wasn't too big a fan of the second one. Might give it a rent.
I'll get the DVD since neither release has extras
So now studios will be releasing special features only on the 3D versions? Regular Blu-rays get no love now? F**k that s**t.
I ain't paying 30 bucks for a barebones movie, I have internet for that.
The movie itself? Saw it twice the same day, enjoyed it, better than TF2, but still no masterpiece. Michael Bay still can't direct anything other than a lingerie comercial.

Transformers: The Dark of the Moon
aka You came for Shia, right?
GOD, this movie. While Transformers 2 holds a special place in my heart for the movie having the worst taste in every story telling category known in entertainment history, this movie ticked me off even more. Why? Unlike Transformers 2, this film had a finished script that wasn't written during a writer's guild strike. So with nothing to hold them back and the writing talent not on strike, the product we get is the same freaking movie as the last one. The twins aren't gone, they're replaced. The story still thinks we care about Shia Labuckfugde, and they still think that young kids will enjoy gay/crotch jokes such as "Deep Wang".

God, another one? The first was enough for me.
2-Disc or 3-Disc?
nice, tbh i like the transformers movies, granted they are not quality films by any means, but damn are they fun i think. I will definately pick this up. Too bad paramount is going for the double dip, but at least they did us the courtesy of announcing there would be deluxe versions and a 3D bluray in a couple months when they announced this. Better than announcing the others after people put up money for this one.
Though i find it peculiar after upgrading from Dolby TrueHD 5.1 on the first film to DTS-HD MA 5.1 on the second, it seems odd they are releasing this with Dolby TrueHD 7.1 as opposed to DTS-HD MA 7.1, but either way, will be nice to have a 7.1 track.

Movie gets released 9/30 - movie only.. if you want the deluxe edition, all the extras, 3D version - that'll come out in the next few months..
As for me - I'll rent it.

Then don't waste your money on it. Personally really enjoyed all 3 and will buying the 3d release when it arrives. Maybe some people just go I with to high expectations. After all it is a Michael Bay film!
I only wasted my money on it because I semi-enjoyed the first and thought this movie would live up to it. Everyone said it was a thousand times better than the second and the best. If I knew I was going to hate this movie, I wouldn't have spent my money on it.

I don't get why people love to talk trash about the Transformers series as a whole. I guess you either love these movies or hate them. I own Part 1 and 2 on BD and granted yes, Revenge of the Fallen was pretty bad, I thought Dark of the Moon was a blast. Great 3D effects and lots of action and great special effects/battle scenes. The movie is freaking long as hell at almost 3 hours, but it moves really fast. I will definitely be picking this up.

Who said the "The Best Action Movie Ever" line? I can't see his name. I wanna punch him in the face! LOL
cooldude44, your post is so ridiculous it's confounding. just because TRANS 3 was better than the 3 movies you listed doesn't mean it wasn't god awful. lol.
I just hope the dvd has a tons of features like the other 2 did and I wish it was 2 disc but I still may get Blue ray since I don't have a player yet,but I am planing on getting one before Christmas
I just wanted a Skids and Mudflap-less sequel. Got my wish. Will be getting...

For BOTH Dirty Love (2005) and Freddy Got Fingered (2001): Not even 0.0000000000001% funny, plus those movies had NOTHING but unfunny "humor", and fart jokes that were worse than how people described ROTF. When I saw both of those movies, I thought "If this is comedy, than FREDDY KRUEGER is a comedian.".
For Battlefield Earth (2000), horrible camera angles, bad writing, bad directing, bad acting (INCLUDING JOHN TRAVOLTA), ZERO PLOT, only filmed half the book.
As for 2011, there were movies that got even WORSE reviews than DOTM, some of these movies include The Roommate (2011) which as described by some people who liked and did not like DOTM as not even 000000.0000000000000000000000001% scary, and some of those people who did not like DOTM called DOTM more scary than The Roommate.

Worst film of the year. Period. This film makes The Smurfs look like The Dark Knight. The fact that these piece of s**t films make millions of dollars amazes me. Thank God I watched this bootlegged. When that girl's ass came on screen I though, "this film is gonna suck". By the time Ken Jeong came on I thought, "this is gonna be one of the worst movies I'll ever see." And it was. Though, I gotta say, that model is actually a better actress than Megan Fox. And that's just sad.

but nobody was replaced in this movie. the new girl is a new character, she isnt playing Fox's role.

Transformers has got really old really quickly.I'll keep the 1st ,sell the 2nd and pass on the 3rd
This movie was a big improvement over the past two films. It's not just the 3D technology and all, there's an interesting story that the filmmakers don't really take advantage of.
I'm not saying this was a good movie (bad acting and a bloated running time), but I would say this is worth renting just for the action sequences. (And perhaps a purchase if you've seen the movie in 3D.) Thank you Michael Bay for actually making the action coherent and well-staged, it makes all the difference.
It was fun seeing Patrick Dempsey play the heavy, and Rose Huntington-Whiteley is so much easier on the eyes than the tramp Megan Fox. I have to say this is one of Michael Bay's better films -- not his best though.

I just couldn't make it to the theatres to watch this. I have 1 & 2, so I will pick this up... but not this edition. The fact that the 3D version is not included tells me all I need to know about a double-dip, maybe during the holiday season.
I really enjoyed part 1, but part 2 was all over the place. I must be one of the few guys who really was sad Megan Fox was not a part of this one. She was pure eye candy and Rosie is a very bad replacement!

LOL it's funny I HATED the first two and while I still didn't Ike this one, it was tolerable. The first half is the best then the action is overkill. The action scenes are better staged than the first two. I realized that b/c u have to hold the shot longer when filming 3d. Also there were no gay robots or exhausting scene of a mom who ate marijuana brownies. I liked a lot of Sam searching for a job too. Again I dint like it but after the first two it was a small step in the right direction. It was still too long though.
i loved part 1 and even enjoyed part 2 but this movie was AWFUL! so bad i have no desire to ever see it again.
Unbelievable it may be, but I think, Someday, I'll buy the Trilogy BD set of this if I met a good bargain/dustbin. You know what got me interested? It's the-making-of Documentaries in the BD. I first heard it from my friend who loves and owns each of these movies. Then I watched it, and it turns out these 4 hours (more or less) docs & the other bonus features are actually well-made and a million times better edited, more substantial (about the making process & Transformers universe) and more interesting than the actual movies. Example: You want to know how much of a jerk M. Bay can be, how he first came up with the idea of Devastator's balls and (kinda) confessions of how much he is feared/loathed by the crews? The doc presents it to you in a good way. LOL
Yeah right. Like I would buy this stinking pile of horse dung. I wouldn't watch it even if-
RIFFTRAX presents Transformers: Dark of the Moon!
....c**p.
NO! No. This is not going to be a buy no matter what. I know. I'll wait till someone decides to buy it, send it back to my favorite video store, and buy it pre-owned. That way the money goes to a store I like and not to the studios!

I hope they do a 3D version of this like Paramount did with Thor. I never got to see it in theaters and still want to see it in 3D.
I hope they release a trilogy Blu-Ray set and port over everything from the 2-disc editions of 1 & 2.
Kill it with fire.
I don't care if anyone hate Bay's Transformers, I will get DVD for sure.
"The Blu-Ray & DVD everyone wants to own."
Ah, no.
Ah, no.
"The best action movie ever"
Uh, no?
Uh, no?
It looked better than the second one but still c**p. I'll probably rent it given that Megan Fox didn't come back.
Will Pass. It's the abomination of the year!
