I don't think anyone is "missing the point of a summer blockbuster"... to be spoon fed the usual sap story with some "awesome CG and FX" is simply not enough when asking nearly $20 for a ticket. This was terrible rubbish (not unlike the previous 3) and we should all do ourselves a favour and admit that this was a flop... unless you enjoy watching hyped up crap? They'll continue making shitty movies so long as we keep paying to see them and not giving them the shit review they deserve.
Awesome FX and action. Mark Wahlberg is better than Shia ever was as the main human lead. The people giving this movie bad reviews are definitely missing the point of a summer blockbuster. Bigger and better than any other Transformers movie!
too long, boring, I didn't like or care about any of the human characters - none of their problems at the outset got resolved in the end, making this film seem even more hollow; the origin twist was terrible, and by the end I was hoping all the transformers would be destroyed. Michael Bay needs to stop.
2 stars strictly for the FX and art. Aside from that, the bloated $180 million budget blockbuster event of the summer left me completely bored after the first 45 minutes. Why oh WHY kill off the comic relief?
Far too long and drawn out
The best Transformers movie yet
It was amazing, especially the fight scenes and special effects.
The thinking man's blockbuster.
wow
If you're in to blowing a movie budget on excessive explosions then this movie is right up your alley. However if you watched the first 3 movies then it is very evident that there are huge continuity issues and gaps. The introductions of the Dinobots was piss poor. The explanation of how humans created / reverse engineered transformers is a very far stretch. The ending with Prime was utterly ridiculous. Storyline left me wanting my money back. It would make a nice Blu-Ray just for the special effects....OH not to mention it's extremly long . Everything tanks after the first hour / one specific human dies.
