Ok, here is your "expert" review of Transformers 3. Contains spoilers, so don't read it if you want to see the movie yourself. You've been warned.

First off, I had to see it in 3D. Wasn't happy about it, but I kept the glasses to not make it feel like a total waste. Anyways, as cardsharkrob said, this movie was better than the other 2 easily. Although the black guy who was sitting next to me thought 2 was better. More on that in a bit.

This movie focuses more on the actual Autobots rather than on some love story or random other shit, which is a good thing. We learn more about the Autobots and Decepticons as a race and we also learn that

SPOILER: show

Megan Fox not being in this doesn't really even make much difference. The girl who replaced her does a decent job as Sam's new woman. His parents have only a small role this time, and agent Simmons also does a good job at being him, although he has a badass sidekick this time named

SPOILER: show

So the whole movie pretty much revolves around the fact that during Cybertron's final days, the decepticons

SPOILER: show

So after the Autobots find

SPOILER: show

and that's of course when all hell breaks lose.

SPOILER: show

Sam, along with Epps and a few of his fellow retired squad mates, one of which is FUCKING COLE TRAIN FROM GEARS OF WAR, all head to

SPOILER: show

Chicago to stop Sentinel and destroy the pillars and rescue Carly, who was kidnapped by her boss who you find out earlier had been working with the Decepticons all along. So as Epps and his team near Chicago, they are attacked by decepticons fighter jets and then saved by the Autobots, whom they thought were blown up during their exit of Earth. Cue the inevitable, "we'll kill the Decepticons, you go destroy that pillar, and we'll all meet back here." Bumblebee jumps in the downed fighter with Sam and the rescue Carly, and Bumblebee kills Laserbeak in the process. The fighter crashes, and the humans run to an empty building to take out the pillar with their "only" rocket. The building gets shot out from the middle, and the building collapses with everyone in it. One guy falls out of the window and Shockwave notices it so he unleashes this big worm mother fucker on the building. Optimus shows up in time to kill it. Cue Lennox and his team wing suiting into Chicago. Sam kills Starscream with some tech that Brains gave him earlier. Bumblebee, Brains, Ratchet, Sideswipe, and some other Autobot (red car) are being detained by Decepticons, while the wreckers get Optimus down from some wires he got caught in, and Wheelie and this other small Autobot work on destroying a Decepticon dropship from the inside after they snuck onto a Decepticon fighter. Brains gets executed by Soundwave I believe and then as they are about to execute Bumblebee, the dropships starts dropping fighters everywhere and then crashes into the river and the Autobots kill their captors. Bumblebee kills Soundwave and then the final battle starts. The spec ops guys set up a plan and take out a bunch of Decepticons, and Shockwave with snipers, explosives, and wingsuit tactics. They manage to stop Cybertron from coming to Earth and they destroy the main pillar. Carly finds Megatron and convinces him that he'll always be Sentinel Prime's bitch on Earth. Sentinel is about to kill Optimus, but Megatron shows up and shoots Sentinel Prime. A one armed Optimus kills Megatron and then executes Sentinel Prime with Megatron's shotgun.

That's pretty much the end after that. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Guy next to me said he wanted his money because the twins weren't in it. Couldn't help but laugh, especially since all Mudflapps and Skids were was comic relief.
