I feel like this review is long overdue, but I just saw it last week lol. This was my #1 movie I was looking forward too this year. U know it didn't disappoint me, but it didnt blow me away either. Its like the Transformers bar has been raised to ridiculously high expectations.
Im not going to have spoilers here. I liked Mark W. in this. He did his thing. His character was really likeable. The guy with the glasses is also pretty cool once he...ok no spoilers. The dino bots were dope, but too bad they were at the back of the movie. The movie is dark, way darker than Dark of the Moon(iRonic right?). Age of Extinction keeps you guessing which is cool. Theres man made Transformers who...okay i'll stop. The villains are pretty cool. Optimus kicks ass as usual, but not as much as Im used to seeing. Maybe it's because hes up against tough Transformers. The Autobots are also pretty likeable here too.
The movie is a bit long, but honestly, I didnt care. I wanted a little bit more. Perhaps for the first time in the series, humans have a big impact on the fate of Earth. There's good ones, and lots of bad ones(for the first time). Do i miss Shia? Hell yeah. Should they have mentioned him...of course. Should he have made a cameo since this movie is just 5 years after movie 3? Hell yeah. Overall i really liked this movie. I give it 9/10. Or 4.5 stars outta 5 for you movie folk. Go see it if you haven't already.
