I grew up in the 80's, loved Transformers growing up, actually liked the first 3 movies, but this one was totally shit. I know what to expect from a Michael Bay movie, and will check my brain at the door, but when you have humans flying all over the place and transformers "catching" them without a scratch, or when they crash in a ship and walk away from it, or when Marky Mark "blocks" a sword strike from a fucking robot, I was just like....come on. There were so many times, like when the girl was on the ship, that they would have been dead in a heartbeat.
I know these movies have product placement in them, and I am usually ok with it, but Bay just said, "Fuck It" and threw it in your face. Bud light all over the ground after a crash? Ok. Marky Mark picks it up and slams a drink of it? Ok. Giant robot crashes through a bus but the tail end of it doesn't move and has Victoria's Secret in huge letters? Ok.
BTW someone mind telling me why bumble bee was an old black SS in the beginning but when he transformed it was the same yellow model used from the first 3 movies? Then he "upgrades" into the new Chevy model, the camera makes sure to get a nice 45 degree angle shot of the car as it pulls up, and then sits there for like 15 seconds just to make sure you REALLY see it. Same goes for Optimus. He is a shitty old semi, needs Marky Mark to repair him but then as soon as Prime drives on the road, he melts away and is a brand new truck.
I don't mind a little cheese in my movies but this was beyond bearable. Plus the movie was about an hour too long. So Optimus Prime was a "Prime" but he is also some Special Knight? Oooookay. The only thing that I really liked about the movie was the mercenary gun transformer. From when he came out of the water in the start, to when he walked in front of his ship at the end, he was a badass. The only reason why Galvatron was in this was to set up the next 2 movies and Michael Bay only included the Dino Bots because it is what fans wanted and they made a great poster.
Jesus I never nerd rage about movies but this one just pissed me the fuck off. It was so bad that even though it was loud as hell and had action going on constantly my GF passed the fuck out next to me. These movies just keep getting worse and worse.
