Dark of the Moon > Rise of the Fallen.
Your entire post is invalid and I now believe past sentiments in this thread that you are confused on the order of the movies
Um, no.
Now just to be clear, I was never in any way trying to infer that Revenge of the Fallen was actually a good movie. Barring that, it is leaps and bounds better than the incomprehensible pile of garbage that was Dark of the Moon.
Trying to say that Dark of the Moon is better than anything makes this entire thread invalid. You've all killed it.
What was so horrible about the second movie vs. the first and third? Seriously, I'm curious.
It was a bit of a campy clusterfuck (but then really, all three of them are).
The first movie was a bit more solid (just a tiny fraction) and is actually kind of entertaining.
The third movie is not better than the second one, don't listen to what anyone tells you.
Mind you, they are both crap, but the second one is just slightly less so.
