It could've been better... or worse...

Rating: 6/10 (5 July 2011)

So I was excited to know that Shockwave was going to be in this movie, but disappointed at the fact that it was the final entry in the Transformers film series.
I remember hearing that Shockwave was going to be the main psychopathic antagonist in this film, but as I watched this near 3 hour film, he only says one word and controls a robotic worm which eats a building. Sure, he's awesome and scary looking, but he barely does anything; standing and walking without actually killing anybody, only to be ambushed by the good guys and then finally killed by Optimous. What happened to the cool, sinister voice? I really wished they developed Shockwave's character a little more.
As for the rest of the film... it was long, dull, and filled with highly incoherent characters, as I'm seeing that the chemistry between certain characters are simply not working or no longer working. After leaving the theater, I had a huge headache from the loud, noisy explosions and and annoying mechanical sounds. I'm glad Megan Fox wasn't in this film; smart move for her! The only good thing about the film is action sequences; just be sure to ear plugs.
