Saw it today. In short; Watchable, but really not worth the movies. Nostalgia popcorn movie with a severe lack of nostalgia and popcorn.
More detailed why in spoilers, not really spoiling any plot or such.
Too much drama, too much humans, too many lines/oneliners, too many groanworthy jokes(while some good), too long(almost 3 hours and feels like it), the transformers included are rather b cast and most importantly almost f*ck all autobot vs decepticon action. Megatron barely pops on screen. Also the new transformation stuff is just, it makes the ball of steely spikes look good. Let's leave it at that.
Dinobots were...well...meh. If there were real dinosaurs in there it would've been the same. Served little puropse and had 0 of the nostalgia in them.
As per usual a hamhanded plot at best.
So, as a final note; usually transformers movies redeem their sh*t by having good old autobot vs decepticon action and nostalgic transformers, but this one didn't have that much either.
I've now watched the third one, it is an ok film with some great action but it really is too long and having heard the 4th is even longer I can't say it is one I'll rush to watch.
Actually it is nothing to do with that and everything to do with
besides the film being utterly crap, destroying the core parts of the franchise like Optimus Prime sacrificing himself to deliberately kill a human, you don't find that in any part of Transformers lore anywhere even in storys where prime has been turned evil
Just tried to watch a cam..quality very good except it had a huge out of focus hair in the right hand side that looked like an eye floater..drove you up the wall...watched 30 seconds..delete.
It went on too long far too long. It was like he was trying to turn this OK generic action file into a classic piece of cinema. He should have cut an hour off it.
It also showed one of the things I hate. One of the Autobots tuned into a Helicopter and a Veyron right? So why when he can do that do the Autobots stand still and let humans kill then rather than just becoming a rocket and getting out of there? And you have these ancient hardcore Transformers who don't become something modern they just stay as fucking Dinosaurs? Stupid.
Literally this is the first thing with the word "Transformers" in it that I actually can't stand. What about whole "We've already used the primes but we need them again but we can't use them so let's just add them back and call them knights whilst not bothering to explain what that means" and don't get me started on the bug eyed things running around the ship...
