Be Honest

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2019)

Nostalgia and lack of wanting to admit that all the Michael Bay Transformers movies are bad. That's why most of the reviews on IMDB are positive. People are entitled to Nostalgia and I understand. But this movie is god-awful, no matter how much people try to make it. It is really not a adaption of Transformers. It's more like a movie about Alien Robots who learn Earth customs and try to defeat a rival Robot group. Sort of like a terrible West Side Story.
I know people like my Aunt and my friend love this movie. But I cannot root for a movie that forces you to laugh When Bumblebee pees on another human being. The Autobots are supposed to represent the good of alien life, and even though that guy was a jerk. Peeing on him is not the right comeuppance. There is no Spike Witwicky on this film. Instead we have this horny whiner teenager named "Sam" Witwicky. Who is not a great character.
His father is not even a big part of the movie like he was on the cartoon. He's made to be an idiot. Which is very saddening. I guess Paramount didn't care about how much Michael Bay butchered the franchise as long as he sold a ton of Hasbro toys.
None of the characters, not even the Autobots are likeable on this film. They curse and have hardly any regard for preventing destruction. Speaking of which, Michael Bay when he got this franchise thought "You know what would really sell this franchise as well as toys? Sexy women!" So we have Megan Fox in this film. A woman who honestly wears way too much makeup. If Bay loves her so much I wonder why they are not married, and I'm honestly wondering!
So we have inappropriate scenes of Megan Fox. Which are disgusting, I'm not saying this because I'm not attracted to women. I'm just not a horny guy like most dudes who watch this film.
Megatron is not even the main villain. Well, he is. But he doesn't come until the end of the film. It's really frustrating. I remember when my classmates in school saw it. All they could talk about was Bumblebee shooting a bunch of Decipticons on the truck, or my cousin wouldn't stop saying how "hot" Mikaela was. It made me realize that Bay doesn't care about the original Transformers. He's just trying to make money by advertising and showing off women. I'd rather go back to the old days of the 1986 Transformers and that awesome soundtrack.
I dislike that they made Bumblebee lose his voice. He was my favorite Transformer in the old series, and now they made him a useless bug who pees on people. So in summary, please don't say this movie is good just because it's better than its sequels. Because, I hate to say it. You're lying to yourself. It's not.
