From ew, To quote the Leonard Nimoy-voiced Sentinel Prime, who himself was paraphrasing Nimoy’s Spock: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” That’s a philosophy that Transformers: Dark of the Moon certainly subscribes to, as it disappointed the few (the critics who gave the film ho-hum reviews) while satisfying the many (the global moviegoing audience). Moon has grossed an estimated $379 million worldwide through Sunday — the third-biggest global opening ever, behind Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Spider-Man 3. Domestically, Michael Bay’s $195 million alien-robot threequel collected $116.4 million over the four-day weekend. If the estimate holds, that’ll be the largest four-day Independence Day weekend ever, barely beating Spider-Man 2‘s $115.8 million opening. And Moon‘s three-day weekend gross of $97.5 million marks the year’s best debut — at least until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II demolishes it in two weeks.
After six days in theaters (technically six-and-a-half days when including the sneak-preview screenings on Tuesday night), Moon has tallied an estimated $181.1 million. By comparison, the second Transformers film, Revenge of the Fallen, had made $214.9 million in six days. But Moon appears to be better liked, having received an overall “A” grade from CinemaScore audiences, compared to Revenge‘s “B+” rating.

Whatever. I'm sure when I Netflix "Dark" out of curiosity, I'll find once again that Michael Bay just doesn't fucking know how to shoot an action scene.
Actually, what I meant to say was "Run, Shia, run!"
Man, I really can't STAND Shia the beef.
