An improvement but still not as good as the original

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2014)

It seems that with the universal hate for the transformers franchise it seems that people ignore the positives that there is with these Transformers film. This film starts with Sam being distraught with his lack of relationship with Optimus Prime and the autobots and having to deal with real life, until the decepticons return and Sam, his new girlfriend Carly and the autobots need to face a new but familiar foe. This film in my opinion is co-led by Sam and Optimus Prime and I like both, Sam is seemingly sympathetic in this film and we are meant to feel for his situation, whereas Optimus Prime is just a total badass and when he is destroying enemies it really is truly enthralling. Also the side characters are pretty good with Carly in my opinion being a huge improvement from Megan Fox in the other films. Bumblebee is a great character who just like Optimus reflects the great characters that these alien autobots are. Also Sentinel Prime is a good new deep character and even in his smaller role Megatron is still cool. Now in true Michael Bay style the story is not very good and these films are not great stories at all, similar is the script which has always been cheesy and this is no different and these things need to be improved in future Transformer films. The one great thing about Transformers films is the style as it is always awesome and the last hour is just a visual epic like I expect from a Transformers film. If it can improve it's story and script the future of these films can improve significantly.
