Michael Bay can't tell a decent story to save his life!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2016)

I mean seriously!!
Huge back-story and amazing characters from the original series all the way up to Beast Wars and beyond! Instead Michael and team shitty cherry pick good and bad points of the back-story that best fit around the many explosions and fighting scenes. I was reading in an article that Michael Bay refused to have Optimus as a red truck! that who he is, and Shia LaBeouf is a waste of space, who cares about his school project or pimple popping decisions or his best friend who he dumps on the side of the road. Horrible, absolutely terrible.
Now for the positives, Peter Cullen voicing Optimus. Fantastic, absolute gold, Hugo Weaving did a credible job voicing Megatron shame that Frank Weller wasn't invited to the party but ah well that can happen. Megan Fox is pretty hot, I'll admit the scene of her checking out Bumble Bee's engine is hot, hot hot. Shame Shia was there, and the army team did very well, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson put in a solid performance. I also thought Rachael Taylor did really well.
Still even with these guys holding up the weight nothing can save this movie from the resounding abomination that it is. the Autobots look pretty crap in robot mode with overly unnecessarily complicated transformation scene (again Michael's love of CGI on display) the Deceptions are a rather weak villain group. Starscream looking even more pathetic then the original series, he's had thousands of years leading the Deceptions and still sucks, and there's not a single Deception who's a capable enough leader to challenge inept and backstabbing Starscream. Megatron looks terrible in his jet spaceship mode.
So in conclusion I gave it one star because I loved Transformers as a kid, I don't what this sh!t is but good it ain't and Michael Bay and team shitty should hang their heads, Transformers and all the follow ons are digital fertilizer that nothing good can grow in
