Saw this movie a couple weeks ago. I was into Transformers when I was a kid, but I had forgotten pretty much everything by the time this movie came out. So I don't have any real attachment to the series. With that said, I was disappointed. There was a lot of potential for this movie, and it felt like it was trying to reach too wide of an audience. Parts for kids, parts for the Transformer fan-boy, and parts for the girl. It should have stuck to one type of audience and done that well, instead trying to reach 3 poorly.
I couldn't get over the cheesy parts of the movie. That was way over done. Why does everyone have to say something witty or clever after every action scene? Even parts that were meant to be serious sounded terribly lame. The part where the main character asks the girl to get into the car and says something along the lines of "in 50 years from now are you going to look back and wish you got in the car?" I almost puked it was so cheesy. And don't even get me started on the orgasming robot on the plane.
Parts I did like, were most of the first half, up until the robots were hiding from the parents in his yard (clearly for children). The action scenes. I really liked all the action, wished there was more of it honestly. The Transformers themselves. I liked the style they went with. I would probably rate this movie 2 out of 5 stars.
