Really not the worst movie ever.

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2020)

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a masterpiece but there are some good stuff that people ignore. My main issues are the movie literally reusing scenes from its own series and own movie which I think is incredibly lazy. My second issue is the comedy mostly ranges from bad to embarrassingly awful and a lot of stuff are a bit too sexualized. Some of the plot holes people point out can be easily figured out by paying attention to the movies plus the twins honestly don't bother me that much (if they do, I completely understand why but I've seen much worse). The CGI is still great and the work on Devastator should get some credit (they had to use multiple computers to render him). I like the sound track here as well since it fits the summer atmosphere that this movie is trying to give. I like the additions of soundwave (although he does more in the next movie), sideswipe, devastator, ravage, long haul, mixmaster, demolisher, jetfire and the fallen himself. The intro is also really good and I prefer it over the one in the first movie (however to be far they are both still good). The pacing is a bit slower than the first movie but I was still able to pay attention and watch the movie without being bored since the human story and transformers story are both linked together. The forest fight is the big highlight and even people who don't like this movie can agree that it's the best thing about this movie. I also liked the last fight with jet-powered prime as well even if it was a little bit too short but prime is also more powerful so that should explain why it's shorter than a normal prime fight. Overall, it isn't as good as the first movie but it isn't complete garbage as many people make it out to be and it might have been better if there wasn't a writers strike going on.
