    I for one enjoyed it, and so did my missus.
    Yeah I was talking to a couple of guys in the office this morning, they saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it too. (Like me and my missus).

    The fandom do nit pick every little thing. The general population/media poke fun at star wars/trek 'geeks' and with transformers more mainstream since the bay movies I am worried the fandom will simply cause all transformer fans to be labeled in a similar way.

    At the end of the day, I could not give a crap whether the reviews are good or bad. I enjoyed it and that is pretty much all the matters. I felt it was more of a ROTF clone and I actually loved ROTF! I don't really have a need to be critical of the plot, actors etc. Like my other 3 TF movies I own on BluRay, I will be watching this a lot more than any of the Avengers, Star Trek, Xmen ones I own........cos I'm a Transformers fan and enjoy them a lot.

    Watched it last night in Gold Class with the wife, very enjoyable from the start, and feel sad for ratchet, questions unanswered, prime is invincible, get shots twice in the chest, stab in the chest and still can recovery so quick. boyfriend and girlfriend is so lame, then start go getting bored, wife lost interest, sick of all those fireworks its all over the place, and the guys seat next to me is snoring. Not much of Dinobots action and they are weak as well. Lockdown is great in this. overall its ok its just too long.

    For sure - I will be buying the DVD as well, hopefully there is a couple of extra scenes but I will skip bumblebee dancing.

    Bumblebee dancing wasn't even in the movie, very annoying

    This was surprisingly watchable. Anything too offensive or idiotic was either not written in or edited out. Lockdown was a strong villain, and Crosshairs showed the beginnings of becoming a future 'big name' in Transformerdom. Clever/a good coincidence that there was a major Lockdown/Ratchet scene at the beginning for anyone familiar with certain other multiversal Lockdowns/Ratchets. I felt nostalgic looking at Prime as a flat-nosed cab. Movie universe Optimus Prime is dark though - I thought it was hilarious that he'd just massacred a bunch of humans at Marky Mark's house and then said he would make an exception to his usual non-human-killing policy by killing Frasier Crane. The lack of Witwickys was an improvement. I couldn't understand why Steve Jobs wanted Galvatron to look like Optimus Prime, and yet chose to call him "Galvatron". I think we can unanimously agree that Galvatron as an individual was a lame villain, although his IDW Scorponok masterplan worked well until the Dinobots came along. Visually, the Hong Kong scenes were beauteous. Compared to watching the previous film, this was an enjoyable three hours.

    Currently it's getting a 31% on Metacritic 15% on Rottentomatos.

    If they cut out the humans, I bet it would be getting better reviews. I really feel it's the human parts that let it down.

    It's really hard for Transformers to kill humans in this universe. Despitr all the damage they did in Chicago the Decepticons only manage to kill 1300 humans.

    1300? Such an exact number for city wide destruction
