I wouldn’t necessarily say Bay I’d say Paramount, Hasbro and Bay mostly the first one. Bay was done with Transformers and tried getting out of it after DOTM but was forced back into because no one wanted to direct another transformers movie, and sure Bay continued and they got worse, we must admit Aoe and TLK had some nice designs even if we couldn’t tell who they were at first
What do you mean would have been? It is an excellent finale to the trilogy. No, there were no more movies after it. It was definitely the last movie they made.
Bro but no one even mentions IH’s sacrifice, that always bothered me with this film but outside of this I loved it. Jazz got a send off but not someone we’ve seen for three films ?!
Ngl, the shot of Optimus skating across the pavement, slicing through Decepticons and flipping cars as the camera tracks with him is still one of my favorite action shots of the past decade.
I think the music is underrated too, nobody seems to talk about the composer of the Transformers movies like they do Hans Zimmer, but he's up there with him.
One thing that came from this movie but no one ever talks about is the music. It’s incredible. The score obviously, but even the soundtrack itself- all of the songs are amazing.
If Filmento watches these movies on a big screen with surround sound/speakers, I can’t believe how he isn’t even mentioning the score/sound design. If he just watches it on his cellphone or lap-top then obviously it doesn’t do the movie justice
Bay also does a tremendous job showing how badass the military are. The scene where the snipers take out the decepticons' eyes while the other soliders rig bombs onto decepticons' feet is really fantastic.
Optimus Prime returning to fight saying "We will kill them all" as Portals scores the scene and crowds cheer in the background is the greatest thing you will see today.
I love Optimus a lot but it was in his character that he's super optimistic. I think Megatron abused that in G1, I think it also happened in TF:Prime but I don't remember TF:Prime airing before TF3 but my point is, Optimus Prime is a goody two shoes. That's what made us Optimus fans love him because he's such a noble dude! He still has hope for Megatron turning into a good guy even after all those years they had fighting each other and their comrades dying in battle.
@@aeoncalcos7830 yea but the thing is "still has hope for Megatron turning into a good guy even after all those years they had fighting each other and their comrades dying in battle." that's just being dumb,naive and even selfish that he's letting megatron live because of the whole "he can change" mentality kudos for bayverse optimus for actually finishing things
I hear the book was better. In there, Optimus and Megatron had a mutual encounter and called a ceasefire on both sides. Then Optimus used Sentinel's Cosmic Rust Cannon on Sentinel to suffer the same demise he brought onto Ironhide. Much more poetic and satisfying imo
@@andremorrison7626 definitely better than Optimus killing a guy who just called a truce, like Optimus whole goal in everything transformers is to get megatron to be on his side. Megatron calling a truce should be this amazing emotional moment, but nope it’s just for Optimus to murder him in 5 seconds. Even as a kid I thought “wow that happened way too quick” like they forgot megatron was in the movie so they just killed him off super quick to get to the happy ending. Anyways, super uncharacteristic of prime.
@@sadchild9478 actually, that was going to be the original ending for T3, they wanted to megatron and optimus to truce, but the story got leaked and they changed it. and its not hard to understand why optimus killed megatron at that moment, optimus has lost his comrade, and is partially responsible for the destructive of Chicago and death of millions. or at least thats how he feels as a character. I think its understandable for optimus killing megatron who tried taking earth 2 times, and simple words won't just cut it anymore and sentinel who optimus saw as a leader went against the code of a prime.
I’ve never cared what anyone said over the years, but Michael Bay’s first Transformers trilogy was something special. Say what you will about ROTF as a whole or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley from DOTM, but they will always be superior to what came after. Wahlberg’s Transformers movies definitely felt phoned in by Bay and the producers.
@Silence Whench I do not wish to be ho!ny anymore well actually catwoman or thunder force are but this it the worst x-men movie ever made and you can't even call it a x-men movie
honestly bay haters and hardcore movie critics ruined the movie like its suppose to be an epic summer movie not some movie with a main plot it was a fun movie for me
@@Shotcalla223 yeah. The plot is basically the same as G1; Big good robots fighting bad big robots for sacred artifacts hidden on Earth. Did they really expect some Shakespeare level of writing on this type of movie?
@@Shotcalla223 yeah, the fist bayformer is fun, I personally hated ROTF but I loved the third movie more than the first. And then we also had better military sequences than the previous movies. So yeah good movie and bumble bee was also really fun and wholesome in its own way so regardless this franchise has three movies which I really love despite the other movies which I really can’t stand and don’t like.
@@danielsgarden9283 rotf nearly didnt have a script due to strikes, and was all around rushed. it and the last knight are seen as the worst bayformers movies
Sentinel is basically the Fallen done right. The whole thing in the second movie, was that they crafted a machine that extracts the energy from the sun, but they all agreed to not use the machine on any solar systems with life, until the Fallen broke that promise and tried to use it on Earth. Really both Villains are asking the same “us or them” question, but with Sentinel, it feels more personal, especially for Optimus and it feels more desperate for sentinel. I feel like this is actually kinda ruined by him killing Ironhide. It’s a great twist, but when you go as far as to kill off one of the most likeable Autobots, someone we’ve known since 2007, it’s very hard for the audience to see the nuance in Sentinel’s character. Because of this most people just see him as “you killed Ironhide” instead probably the best villain in the transformers movies.
Yeah, but if he didn't kill ironhide when he made his turncoat announcement, ironhide would surely tear him a new one rather than sit and listen for an explanation. That's why I believed he killed ironhide. Ironhide was the biggest obstacle between him and the pillars since Prime was a few minutes behind.
@@DaniMol And at least Ironhide had one more bad ass moment before getting assassinated. He stopped that pretty scary chase cold by crashing into those SUV monsters head on like a super hero! (I don't know those decepticons' names, lol, but I think Ironhide was the only autobot who could take on their savagery besides Prime of course. Sideswipe helped with the Mexican Standoff, but Ironhide had to kill both of them since little Sideswipe got kicked down.)
Megatron could have had the Fallen revive Sentinel and then they would not be defeated. Sentinel brings Cybertron while the fallen uses the machine for energon
Except for the fact that each new movie tries to be more "clever" and "intriguing" than the last and bogs down the plot with overcomplicated, convoluted garbage.
Honestly the battle of Chicago is better than the cybertron scene in bumblebee. FOC and WFC did that scene better. In general transformers 2007 and DOTM are better that the bumblebee movie and geewun COMBINED. Will never understand why geewhiners unapologetically praise such uncontemporary shlock it’s laughable.
@@dropkick2224 that’s just your opinion bro I thought the cybertron scene in bumblebee was fantastic and you can actually see was going on and not seeing dark grey shit.
@@Prime_Mence Funny, I could also see what was goin on in the Chicago battle. At least it wasn’t a blatant attempt at fan service, by adding shitty geewun designs to soy boy pretentious millennials. The ineptitude of any self reflection is melancholy.
@@dropkick2224 dude lol dark of the moon had fan service too what do you mean I never said nothing bad about my favorite 3rd film I just couldn’t see shit in 4 & 5 That’s what I was trying to say.
@@dropkick2224 Well I will not say there designs in the bumblebee movie are shit which that is not true I mean I do like bayverse designs too but just some of them just didn’t look that good.
i genuinely became emotional watching this video, BayFormers was my childhood and DOTM was a masterpiece for me the first 3 movies were all masterpieces to me because they made me happy, i didnt give 2 shits about the plot but a geniune joy while watching it
I'll watch it again and repeat my comment. Michael Bay did a great thing with the 3rd installment of the Bayformers film. If anything, we can respect how well he made us care about alien robots. Optimus is badass
@@sub-zero5433 There's definitely a character there, it's just debatable as to how well it was done (the later the movie, the more I'd have to start agreeing with you though).
If your best is drowned in your worst off course it will look better, the series is still shit, if he can pull through in the rebooted versions (like bumblebee) ill eat my shoe
@@zTxMeta Paramount has been trying to do a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover for years. Now that Bay isn’t directing the Transformers movies anymore, they might just be able to make it happen.
@@strigers8007 “Autobots! Come in, this is Optimus! We’re under attack by decepticons in the plain fields! Jolt! Hold the left flank! Do not trust Sentinel! I say again; DO NOT trust Sentinel! Jolt! Get down!”
You made a positive review for a Transformers movie? Do my eyes deceive me? I'm glad that DOTM is getting the recognition it deserves. The final climax was totally epic and action-packed. And it's definitely the greatest Transformers film to date.
@@paradoz8375 The Soundtrack is honestly the best thing about the Transformers movies. In the reboot that started with Bumble Bee, they should hire stronger writers and keep the Baymation in check, but keep EVERY. SINGLE. SOUNDTRACK. The composers honestly deserve a raise.
@@chetbeasley The frustrating thing is that the begining of Transformers 4 gave me hope that they could do great and make a great sequel that feels fresh and new, but then the writing went downhill later on, and then 5 pretended that half the stuff that happened in 4 didn’t happen and had no sense of continuity. With a better director and writers that have more agency, they very well could’ve continued the franchise.
DOTM's intro is the definition of epic, but i gotta give credit to AOE's being dark and intimidating while also still remaining epic as well, even if having epic intro's (as well as the movie) is something normal for the Transformers
"The opening of Dark of The Moon is one of the most consistently impactful openings to a movie." I completely agree with you and I genuinely believe something like that really did happen in real life. We really did find artificial objects on the Moon.
I LOVE how in the final battle of this movie we see different fronts getting small wins that help to the final great win. It also helps to raise the stakes since it shows how much of a sacrifice it is to take out the decepticon army
Personally 1 and 3 here nice, 2 was nice but only because I like the devastator design, 4 and 5 where garbage. I like two less than the others mainly because it was going to be SO much better, we even have a basic draft from the original rotf script and MY GOD that was written by someone who understood the franchise
I remember when this film began marketing and the 1st trailer came out. I watched it over and over with excitement. Seeing it in theaters was sooooo satisfying despite the obvious flaws. Can’t believe it’s been a decade already.
The finale bridge scene was the most incredible moment in bayformers history, personally. Not only were the stakes high and at risk, but when megatron (who has been the villain twice before, and undeserving of anything) shoots Sentinel Prime and saves Optimus, that earned incredible respect towards him. Unfortunately five seconds later they turn on each other but whatever. It was fun while it lasted.
in my opinion Optimus killing megatron as just plain stupid as he literally says just before "We need a truce" an opportunity to end the war but nope optimus says "FUCK THAT IMMA AXE YOU IN THE HEAD NOW" so yeah its really Primes fault the movies carried on some more
I actually like Optimus' choice to end Megatron. It shows he's hardened and become capable of making tougher choices. In other words, he became a cold-blooded, battle-forged badass, zero fucks given.
Megatron killed sentinel and “saved” optimus cause he wasn’t about to be sentinels bitch. And even then, all he said to optimus was what would you be without me
I’m a Transformers mega nerd and I gotta be honest: I love the first one mainly for nostalgia at this point. It was a spectacle, a big blockbuster that appealed to 7 year old me… but it gets harder to watch as the years go by. But Dark of the Moon? Actually a pretty good action movie! The only TF movie between the ‘86 one and Bee movie that I think really has anything going for it!
True, Bee was genuinely good tho, for both action and emotional impact, can’t wait for rise of the beasts, though I’m worried they’ll introduce too much too fast
The first trilogy (especially DOTM) is the epitome of how far we can push visual effects! It's insane that this movie still holds up in terms of CG & VFX cinematography over a decade later.
I was 19 and saw it in IMAX with a dozen of my friends. It was one of my last teenage memories. Funny how our two generations have completely different positive experiences about this film. That's something truly special
I remember being mad at this movie as a kid simply because they killed Ironhide. Now that I look back at it, based on the plot, story and the movie itself, I see it’s truly a masterpiece. It’s right up there with the first Transformers film by Michael Bay, both of which are among the greatest films of all time.
@@CoNteMpTone you assume too much bud... i've seen way more than that and this is still one of the greatest of all time. Don't talk what you don't know
@@DerangedIntellectual9 i call bullshit. Transformers 3 released 2011 and you were still "a kid." Could be something between like 8 and 13 so you would be around 22 now and since you still think those movies are good (evenTHE GREATEST OF ALL TIME) you either never rewatched them and still see them with the eyes of a kid OR you simply havent watched a Ton of REAL greatest movies of all time. Just so you know: there is much, much better stuff and you would probably enjoy some cultural expedition through the world and history of the truly greats.
The fact that you linked your Sponsor to a real world hacking event right after talking about how to use real world to make Fiction seem bigger was a touch of Gold
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) is the best in the saga, and my favorite from the franchise. It is a classical and refined piece from Bay's catalog!
Christopher Nolan is also a big Michael Bay fan. His cinematographer, Wally Pfister, said Nolan enjoys watching Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, and the Transformers films. EDIT - And there it is at 2:21. Haha.
What about Snyder? It’s clear that he takes a LOT of inspiration from Bay as well, when you watch his movies, from the macho/juvenile tone, to explicit violence (from beloved main heroes even, Batman and Optimus Prime), and epic music, slow-mo’s, and many epic and gorgeous shots/visual effects. Bay is way over Snyder though in almost every aspect.
@@eugeneimbangyorteza - Practical stunts are becoming a lost arm form of film. I get it's more costly and there's no risk CGI, but I do love me some practical stunts (and effects too while we're at it.)
I'm honestly really glad this video is back. As someone who grew up with Bayformers, Dark of the Moon and Transformers 07 will always be my favorites from these movies.
"I don't care about your exotic milk, I care about respect." This is one of my favorite lines in the entire series. There's something about his way of writing goofy dialogue that elevates these movies for me. Some other notable lines: "There isn't a tighter shirt. We checked.", "I'm not gonna breathe a word of what I saw in there. Who you share a toilet stall with is totally your business."
This video truly explains why I feel Dark of the Moon is the best in the series. The tension, the action, the internal conflicts, and the stakes, it all works much more cohesive and far better than any TF movie that came before and after.
This movie is my favorite transformers film. I just love Optimus' character in this whole movie. It's like he's had enough and he just kills Megs and Sentinel
Better action scenes? Where you can barely tell what's happening. Nothing beats that first scene at the base with Blackout's attack or Scorpionok's attack in the desert. Better villain? Where they add some random behind-the-scenes human guy who's plan is to become a decepticon slave on a lifeless machine planet. More serious story? With a ridiculous "The Office" comedy stuck right in the middle of the movie. This was about as good as the 1st one, except it's longer, louder and more exploitive. Still the 2nd best one. Although, there are only 2 "good" ones.
@@86Fallowcp That's why most of them don't work. Because Michael Bay doesn't know how to write jokes. But he does know how to make good looking action scenes
I was struggling to remember what the background music was at 14:53 and when I remembered, all the heart ache came back. Justice for Ghost and Roach. 😭🤣
@@JoeChillton well when you are born you are 0 years old. 365 days after you are 1 year old. After 6 times 365 days you are 6 years old. Ta da explained for you.
TF3 was a great movie and Should've been the last TF movie until bumblebee. And if you like bumblebee just because it was g1, DOTM was the most g1 like movie compare to the others (having a lot of autobots, megatron with soundwave, shockwave, starscream, and prime with a trailer, as well as having mirage and wheeljack) Bumblebee was good but the first trilogy is better. Even the toys from TF1 and TF3 were the best and the TF4 and TF5 toys were just trash
I disagree, it was the worse. Bloated, stupid, with a convoluted plot and Sam was utterly unlikeable. The 4-5th were better because we actually had characters on the Autobot and Decepticon sides for once, and we replaced Sam with Cade, who was actually likeable.
@@SwiftNimblefoot yeah as if cade only just use a sword to safe prime oh WAIT he didn't even do that. It was that old knight that gave him that stone thing that grew legs. Sam on the other hand literally goes through rough time in the desert and places to look for the matrix of leadership to revive prime. He also was the one who killed megatron with the all spark and not listen to prime's words when he says "put the cube in my chest now" and sam was really funny which makes the first trilogy good. "Unlikable" sounds like one of those terrible tastes. So yeah first trilogy are real tf movies and 4 and 5 sucked and bumblebee decent
what is PERFECT about the transformers movies, 1. the vfx, 2. the SOUNDTRACK, the soundtrack will always be amazing to me, from Optimus's first transformation to the final battle in dark of the moon, it's incredible imo.
The third act battle in this film was fantastic. And you nail it with Sentinel Prime, as we can relate to his pain and goals, so his betrayal is so much more potent and the final fight that much more epic.
I remember when this movie came out the theater was surprisingly crowded here in Indonesia I ended up watching it with my parents and friends the day after, this and Transformer Prime got me into transformer
Not very surprising, given how popular Transformers was among kids in Indonesia at the time. I remember when my dad ended up getting us tickets to a 3D sceeening instead of a 2D one because all the regular ones were booked.
@@CheemsofRegret nice, yea I guess its not too surprising its just that none of my friends ever talked about Transformer before Dark of the Moon came out so I just assumed it wasnt very popular
“50k ppl used to live here.. now it’s a ghost town” this guys editing is awesome. What a way to nod at cod4. I respect it lol. I actually burst out laughing when I heard it 😂 good video man
I love how you’re one of the best “film critics” on UA-cam with some of the most introspective and thought out videos yet you also love Michael Bay action films. This is why you’re one of my faves!!!!
John Turturro is, by far my favorite character in this entire series, maybe in every single Michael Bay film ever made John tutorials Transformer character is my favorite.
Can't say the story is "incredible" but it's the best among Transformers movies. A story that, like Filmento always says in other videos about "versus" movies, makes audiences FEEL the motivation of both sides and care about them.
How he got the role was interesting. See Nimoy was related to Michael Bay's wife, Bay told him he was making a new TF movie and Nimoy asked if he could be in it. Bay didn't even know Leonard was Galvatron's VA back in the 80s
I never realized how similar the third act of this movie is to Man Of Steel. Even Sentinel Prime pretty much has the same exact motivation as Zod. And this movie came out 2 years before.
Dark of the Moon is one of if not the only movie where I truly wish I can experience it again for the first time. It made me laugh, cry, scared, angry, and happy all while keeping me captivated on the edge of my seat the whole way through. From Irohides death, to the autobots exile, to the autobots return, everything about it blew me away to the point where I can say this is easily the best film in the series.
Love TF3. This movie was like an tour ads for chicago to me and I took a trip there just for TF3, and later I also happened to live in Chicago for a couple of years too. Kinda took it for granted of the city view, but now that I left and looking back through TF3, ah it reminds me of all the chicago highlights lol.
To me, Transformers 3 is surely not a perfect movie. It's a perfectly executed epic movie as Filmento said that I remember thanks to great sequences with fantastic music.
This movie has some of the best scenes in the franchise. The Chicago Invasion scene is my personal favourite, followed by Ironhide colliding with the Dreadbots and transforming in slow-motion
Something that applies across all films, is the use of real/live locations being extremely important because if or when you add VFX elements, the best results are those with pieces grounded with real things. If you can get as much stuff done with practical tricks, the less work (and odds of failure or time consumed) is required for when you go to add/adjust any given element
Honestly, I'm very glad that I found this channel. I feel like I was the only one interested in movies in my school and I would always feel so dumb and weird but watching your videos make me feel great and the way you explain your video essays is perfection. I hope your channel sees nothing but success :)
i love how Optimus does what so many heroes should do the Villian is saying the generic "you don't have the balls to kill me" yet he goes screw that and proceeds to brutally murder Megatron without a second's hesitation he just wanted the war finished,
Say it before, but I will say it again. The reuse of the highway scene was because it was incredibly dangerous to perform. So for everyone's safety, it was better just to reuse a few shots.
The first upload got taken down by Paramount because I guess they don't like Michael Bay now that he left to make movies for other more successful studios. The same thing might happen to this reupload once the claim people go back to work so I hope you guys enjoy it while it lasts. Thanks!

Honestly, if Michael Bay ended Transformers with this film, he would have had a great trilogy. Dark of the Moon would have been an excellent finale.

@@Shotcalla223 yeah. The plot is basically the same as G1; Big good robots fighting bad big robots for sacred artifacts hidden on Earth. Did they really expect some Shakespeare level of writing on this type of movie?
Surprisingly, hardcore critics put this movie on the better side of the transformers movies. Sounds crazy but i was shocked to see.
@@Shotcalla223 yeah, the fist bayformer is fun, I personally hated ROTF but I loved the third movie more than the first. And then we also had better military sequences than the previous movies. So yeah good movie and bumble bee was also really fun and wholesome in its own way so regardless this franchise has three movies which I really love despite the other movies which I really can’t stand and don’t like.
@@danielsgarden9283 rotf nearly didnt have a script due to strikes, and was all around rushed. it and the last knight are seen as the worst bayformers movies
Sentinel is basically the Fallen done right. The whole thing in the second movie, was that they crafted a machine that extracts the energy from the sun, but they all agreed to not use the machine on any solar systems with life, until the Fallen broke that promise and tried to use it on Earth.
Really both Villains are asking the same “us or them” question, but with Sentinel, it feels more personal, especially for Optimus and it feels more desperate for sentinel.
I feel like this is actually kinda ruined by him killing Ironhide. It’s a great twist, but when you go as far as to kill off one of the most likeable Autobots, someone we’ve known since 2007, it’s very hard for the audience to see the nuance in Sentinel’s character. Because of this most people just see him as “you killed Ironhide” instead probably the best villain in the transformers movies.
Yeah, but if he didn't kill ironhide when he made his turncoat announcement, ironhide would surely tear him a new one rather than sit and listen for an explanation. That's why I believed he killed ironhide. Ironhide was the biggest obstacle between him and the pillars since Prime was a few minutes behind.
@@DaniMol And at least Ironhide had one more bad ass moment before getting assassinated. He stopped that pretty scary chase cold by crashing into those SUV monsters head on like a super hero! (I don't know those decepticons' names, lol, but I think Ironhide was the only autobot who could take on their savagery besides Prime of course. Sideswipe helped with the Mexican Standoff, but Ironhide had to kill both of them since little Sideswipe got kicked down.)
Spot on bud 👍🏼
He was also suppose to have killed the twins. I think that would have been better lmaom they were suppose to go out fighting to defend Bumblebee.
Megatron could have had the Fallen revive Sentinel and then they would not be defeated. Sentinel brings Cybertron while the fallen uses the machine for energon
I think the thing with Michael Bays movies is that they are fun, they aren't overly serious or edgy, they are just enjoyable
i mean they are serious tho DOTM and AOE were pretty dark
Except for the fact that each new movie tries to be more "clever" and "intriguing" than the last and bogs down the plot with overcomplicated, convoluted garbage.

Honestly the battle of Chicago is better than the cybertron scene in bumblebee. FOC and WFC did that scene better.

I'll watch it again and repeat my comment. Michael Bay did a great thing with the 3rd installment of the Bayformers film. If anything, we can respect how well he made us care about alien robots. Optimus is badass
still pretty hollow... optimus isn’t a character, he’s a giant soulless killing machine
@@sub-zero5433 There's definitely a character there, it's just debatable as to how well it was done (the later the movie, the more I'd have to start agreeing with you though).

@@devinjabairemoss
Nah, Bumblebee had better characters, but it fails at everything else and it feels mediocre.
@@devinjabairemoss NO that was mid
This helps explain why I always felt that Transformers 3 is honestly the best Transformers movie.
Not only that, the soundtrack and overall tone of it. Truly epic
@@paradoz8375 The Soundtrack is honestly the best thing about the Transformers movies.
In the reboot that started with Bumble Bee, they should hire stronger writers and keep the Baymation in check, but keep EVERY. SINGLE. SOUNDTRACK.
The composers honestly deserve a raise.
Also I’m first, but it doesn’t matter.
should have been the series finale too. 4 and 5 were so retarded
@@chetbeasley The frustrating thing is that the begining of Transformers 4 gave me hope that they could do great and make a great sequel that feels fresh and new, but then the writing went downhill later on, and then 5 pretended that half the stuff that happened in 4 didn’t happen and had no sense of continuity.
With a better director and writers that have more agency, they very well could’ve continued the franchise.
The opening of Dark of The Moon is one of the most consistently impactful openings to a movie.
DOTM's intro is the definition of epic, but i gotta give credit to AOE's being dark and intimidating while also still remaining epic as well, even if having epic intro's (as well as the movie) is something normal for the Transformers
@@etam8099 yeah they prepared you to some emotional shit with "humans are hunting us" in the trailer
"The opening of Dark of The Moon is one of the most consistently impactful openings to a movie."
I completely agree with you and I genuinely believe something like that really did happen in real life. We really did find artificial objects on the Moon.
I LOVE how in the final battle of this movie we see different fronts getting small wins that help to the final great win. It also helps to raise the stakes since it shows how much of a sacrifice it is to take out the decepticon army
I can't believe you made me want to rewatch a Bayformers movie
Me neither. First time for everything, I guess.
Same feels
@Chaabar Yakal Transformer 1,3 are pretty good movie. Transformer 2,4 are kinda decent. But Transformer 5 are shitty as hell.
Personally 1 and 3 here nice, 2 was nice but only because I like the devastator design, 4 and 5 where garbage. I like two less than the others mainly because it was going to be SO much better, we even have a basic draft from the original rotf script and MY GOD that was written by someone who understood the franchise
yea made me rewatch it today
I like your tastes in other YTers & streamers
Intriguing something... maybe 🙂
Wooooooo yeah baby.
@@aldoblack5982 you're a man of culture
I remember when this film began marketing and the 1st trailer came out. I watched it over and over with excitement. Seeing it in theaters was sooooo satisfying despite the obvious flaws. Can’t believe it’s been a decade already.
The finale bridge scene was the most incredible moment in bayformers history, personally. Not only were the stakes high and at risk, but when megatron (who has been the villain twice before, and undeserving of anything) shoots Sentinel Prime and saves Optimus, that earned incredible respect towards him. Unfortunately five seconds later they turn on each other but whatever. It was fun while it lasted.
in my opinion Optimus killing megatron as just plain stupid as he literally says just before "We need a truce" an opportunity to end the war but nope optimus says "FUCK THAT IMMA AXE YOU IN THE HEAD NOW" so yeah its really Primes fault the movies carried on some more
@@chaoticproductions3922 exactly
I actually like Optimus' choice to end Megatron. It shows he's hardened and become capable of making tougher choices. In other words, he became a cold-blooded, battle-forged badass, zero fucks given.
@@chaoticproductions3922 he was sarcastic when he said about the truce, watch it again.
Megatron killed sentinel and “saved” optimus cause he wasn’t about to be sentinels bitch. And even then, all he said to optimus was what would you be without me
Transformers Dark of the Moon is my favorite Michael Bay Transformers film and still is to this day
I liked the first and third movie
@Antonio Starch I think he knows that
I’m a Transformers mega nerd and I gotta be honest: I love the first one mainly for nostalgia at this point. It was a spectacle, a big blockbuster that appealed to 7 year old me… but it gets harder to watch as the years go by. But Dark of the Moon? Actually a pretty good action movie! The only TF movie between the ‘86 one and Bee movie that I think really has anything going for it!
Dude I agree completely!
Come on man. The 2007 movie is still a classic.
100% agree, feel so heard
True, Bee was genuinely good tho, for both action and emotional impact, can’t wait for rise of the beasts, though I’m worried they’ll introduce too much too fast

I was 19 and saw it in IMAX with a dozen of my friends. It was one of my last teenage memories.
Funny how our two generations have completely different positive experiences about this film.
That's something truly special
I was 9 years old when I saw it in theater, I LOVED this movie as a kid.
I remember being mad at this movie as a kid simply because they killed Ironhide. Now that I look back at it, based on the plot, story and the movie itself, I see it’s truly a masterpiece. It’s right up there with the first Transformers film by Michael Bay, both of which are among the greatest films of all time.

@@aldoblack5982 no they probably can't imagine, since it's easier to just shit on everything Bay does
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) is the best in the saga, and my favorite from the franchise. It is a classical and refined piece from Bay's catalog!
Christopher Nolan is also a big Michael Bay fan. His cinematographer, Wally Pfister, said Nolan enjoys watching Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, and the Transformers films.
EDIT - And there it is at 2:21. Haha.
So that would explain why Nolan has been including more and more "Bayhem" in his movie since 2012's The Dark Knight Rises.
Both have a shared love for practical stunts.
What about Snyder? It’s clear that he takes a LOT of inspiration from Bay as well, when you watch his movies, from the macho/juvenile tone, to explicit violence (from beloved main heroes even, Batman and Optimus Prime), and epic music, slow-mo’s, and many epic and gorgeous shots/visual effects. Bay is way over Snyder though in almost every aspect.
@@believer4002 I'm not sure if he's ever mentioned taking from Bay but they were classmates at one point.
@@eugeneimbangyorteza - Practical stunts are becoming a lost arm form of film. I get it's more costly and there's no risk CGI, but I do love me some practical stunts (and effects too while we're at it.)
I'm honestly really glad this video is back. As someone who grew up with Bayformers, Dark of the Moon and Transformers 07 will always be my favorites from these movies.
"I don't care about your exotic milk, I care about respect." This is one of my favorite lines in the entire series. There's something about his way of writing goofy dialogue that elevates these movies for me. Some other notable lines: "There isn't a tighter shirt. We checked.", "I'm not gonna breathe a word of what I saw in there. Who you share a toilet stall with is totally your business."
This video truly explains why I feel Dark of the Moon is the best in the series. The tension, the action, the internal conflicts, and the stakes, it all works much more cohesive and far better than any TF movie that came before and after.
This movie is my favorite transformers film. I just love Optimus' character in this whole movie. It's like he's had enough and he just kills Megs and Sentinel
Aoe had some great character moments from Optimus too. Tbh, aoe had the best character writting of all of them
@@86Fallowcp ya it really did

Better action scenes? Where you can barely tell what's happening. Nothing beats that first scene at the base with Blackout's attack or Scorpionok's attack in the desert. Better villain? Where they add some random behind-the-scenes human guy who's plan is to become a decepticon slave on a lifeless machine planet. More serious story? With a ridiculous "The Office" comedy stuck right in the middle of the movie. This was about as good as the 1st one, except it's longer, louder and more exploitive. Still the 2nd best one.

TF3 was a great movie and Should've been the last TF movie until bumblebee. And if you like bumblebee just because it was g1, DOTM was the most g1 like movie compare to the others (having a lot of autobots, megatron with soundwave, shockwave, starscream, and prime with a trailer, as well as having mirage and wheeljack) Bumblebee was good but the first trilogy is better. Even the toys from TF1 and TF3 were the best and the TF4 and TF5 toys were just trash
I disagree, it was the worse. Bloated, stupid, with a convoluted plot and Sam was utterly unlikeable. The 4-5th were better because we actually had characters on the Autobot and Decepticon sides for once, and we replaced Sam with Cade, who was actually likeable.
@@SwiftNimblefoot yeah as if cade only just use a sword to safe prime oh WAIT he didn't even do that. It was that old knight that gave him that stone thing that grew legs. Sam on the other hand literally goes through rough time in the desert and places to look for the matrix of leadership to revive prime. He also was the one who killed megatron with the all spark and not listen to prime's words when he says "put the cube in my chest now" and sam was really funny which makes the first trilogy good. "Unlikable" sounds like one of those terrible tastes. So yeah first trilogy are real tf movies and 4 and 5 sucked and bumblebee decent
Ironically, TF2 had the best line of toys.
@@ngultrum1 yes
4 is great tho
We cannot forget about the epic war on Cybertron opening
what is PERFECT about the transformers movies, 1. the vfx, 2. the SOUNDTRACK, the soundtrack will always be amazing to me, from Optimus's first transformation to the final battle in dark of the moon, it's incredible imo.
The third act battle in this film was fantastic. And you nail it with Sentinel Prime, as we can relate to his pain and goals, so his betrayal is so much more potent and the final fight that much more epic.
I remember when this movie came out the theater was surprisingly crowded here in Indonesia I ended up watching it with my parents and friends the day after, this and Transformer Prime got me into transformer

Holy shit.
Transformers Movies were.... influential.
Funny you mention it, both movies share the same cinematographer: Amir Mokri.
And the portals thing..avengers definitely took inspiration for that from TF3
Dark of the Moon is one of if not the only movie where I truly wish I can experience it again for the first time. It made me laugh, cry, scared, angry, and happy all while keeping me captivated on the edge of my seat the whole way through. From Irohides death, to the autobots exile, to the autobots return, everything about it blew me away to the point where I can say this is easily the best film in the series.
Finally some recognition to DOTM/Basically my childhood.
The music in the third one is the best i feel, they went above and beyond with it
You know what would've made it even more epic? If shockwave got more than 2 minutes of screen time
Love TF3. This movie was like an tour ads for chicago to me and I took a trip there just for TF3, and later I also happened to live in Chicago for a couple of years too.
Kinda took it for granted of the city view, but now that I left and looking back through TF3, ah it reminds me of all the chicago highlights lol.
I was born in Chicago and remember seeing seeing the filming sites and just being utterly shocked at how they managed edit that level of devastation
The first one was perfect. This one is my 2nd favorite. But the intro is one of the most bad ass intros i have ever seen
Dark of the Moon was definitely the best film. I actually purposely rewatch this one cause it’s genuinely interesting
No matter if you like or dislike bay's movies, he always makes them work and dark of the moon is a prime example of a perfect movie
To me, Transformers 3 is surely not a perfect movie. It's a perfectly executed epic movie as Filmento said that I remember thanks to great sequences with fantastic music.
A perfect movie? have you only seen ten movies or something?
People don't weight their words before uttering them anymore
This movie has some of the best scenes in the franchise. The Chicago Invasion scene is my personal favourite, followed by Ironhide colliding with the Dreadbots and transforming in slow-motion
Something that applies across all films, is the use of real/live locations being extremely important because if or when you add VFX elements, the best results are those with pieces grounded with real things. If you can get as much stuff done with practical tricks, the less work (and odds of failure or time consumed) is required for when you go to add/adjust any given element
Honestly, I'm very glad that I found this channel. I feel like I was the only one interested in movies in my school and I would always feel so dumb and weird but watching your videos make me feel great and the way you explain your video essays is perfection. I hope your channel sees nothing but success :)
Megatron: "Who would you be without ME, Prime?"
Optimus Prime: "Time to find out...!" *mask on*

i love how Optimus does what so many heroes should do
the Villian is saying the generic "you don't have the balls to kill me" yet he goes screw that and proceeds to brutally murder Megatron without a second's hesitation he just wanted the war finished,
That 17:25 sequence really showd how everyone felt there or atleast should have felt. I was jumping in my seat the whole time
Say it before, but I will say it again. The reuse of the highway scene was because it was incredibly dangerous to perform. So for everyone's safety, it was better just to reuse a few shots.
