[SPOILERS]

lol at one point he said "Save he world" but I can already feel how awesome this movie's gonna be. "Chicago is ground zero" is something you dont hear every day.

IF (big IF) this is a true review, and not some idiot conjuring up BS in his mom's basement, it's good to see a positive review to start. I agree that it looks to be the best of the series, and I'm glad to hear it's actually driven by a story and not visual overdose. I disagree with the guy on the point about Sam's parents. I thought they were funny in the first film, and alright in the second one. And that bit about Megatron is just making me all kinds of curious. 48 days to go!

I've found Ain't it cool news to bring trustworthy reviews. The good they say is good. The bad they says is bad.

OK. I've never actually been on that site, and am not familiar with their reputation. I'll take your word for it.

So Carly's actress got a good reivew apparently. That's one worry off everyone's shoulders, other than the hawtness debate.

Capone of Ain't it Cool News had the opportunity to view Transformers DOTM in it's entirety and has posted the film's first review. While the version that was screened was in 2-D the reviewer states the movie's 3-D potential is "very clear". He also states the movie looks surprisingly complete considering it doesn't come out until July 1st. He has tried to keep his review free of major spoilers, but naturally there are some spoiler-ish details so read on at your own risk. We'll hit some of the high points below, to read his full review click here!

Update: After the Ain't it Cool News review started making waves in the Transformers community regarding the twins director Michael Bay posted the following in his Shoot for the Edit forum:

After the internet posting of a nice review by someone who saw Transformers Dark of the Moon, the writer had not been clear on one thing. He misstated that the Twins are in the film. They are not.

So I am offering a $25,000 REWARD to anyone who can find them performing in Transformers 3, on July 1, when the movie opens.

Capone has subsequently updated his review with the following regarding the twins:

[Hey, everyone. Just to be 100 percent clear, I'm not referring about the "The Twins" here; they are most definitely not in this film. I'm talking about Wheelie (Tom Kenny, who also voiced Skids in REVENGE OF THE FALLEN) and other similar smaller robots, who act like streetwise teenagers.]

The Chicago battle:

• over an hour long
• intense
• lots of civilian deaths

The Twins:

• they are in the film
• they've been toned down from ROTF

Megatron:

• very creepy
• still has is disfigurements from ROTF
• little spider-like robots crawl in and out of his head wound that he casually picks away
• in surprisingly good spirits

Sentinel Prime:

• left Cybertron in the Ark filled with technology he thought would eventually save their planet
• voiced to "perfection" by Nimoy
• retrieved and revived by Optimus Prime

Sam Witwicky:

• has graduated college and is now living with new girlfriend Carly
• not happy that he is not employed by the government
• his boss is played by Malkovich
• Ken Jeong is co-worker
• his parents are in the film, but minimally

Carly:

• Sam's new girlfriend (obviously)
• often in the tightest of cloths
• often filmed as though she is in a Victoria's Secret show
• better than Megan Fox in the reviewer,s opinion

Dylan (Patrick Dempsey):

• Carly's boss and possible competition for her attentions
• has a penchant for world domination

Agent Simmons;

• has written a book about the Transformers on Earth
• now a rich eccentric
• trying to not get pulled back in to the game

Moon landings/alien technology:

• the first and every Moon landing since has been in response to the Ark crash landing
• Autobots are not amused that technology meant to save their race has been sitting on the Moon all this time without their knowledge
• Chernobyl accident was caused by experimentation on retrieved alien technology

Bottom line: Best of the three!

good to hear that the first review for this is a positive review and that Rosie is actually good, Megatron sounds cool in this, spiders that crawl around his head, I find that hilarious but cool

odd that there is no review of shockwave?? i hope for the same awe moments from the first and the action from the second. i pray megatron regains his glory!!

I'm glad DOTM got a positive review. I'm getting really anxious to see it! Megatron sounds kinda like Imhotep from the Mummy when he had scarabs crawling out of his face. Pretty cool stuff!
