The coarse language has dissuaded me from bringing my child to see this film. So unnecessary.

Movie 1 and 2, TFs arrive via burning 'Rocklord' modes.

Then in Movie 3, they have ships - the Ark, the Xantium (that brought the second wave of Autobots, apparently).

In Movie 4, most of the original Autobots have just disappeared, replaced by a new crew that came from *never explained*

And now in Movie 5, we're back to burning Rocklord arrivals.
lol, tru dat.

I found the pacing in the first act to be slow, especially in the junkyard. Guh. But I agree that the pacing in the rest of the film was pretty good. There was far less down time and everything kept on moving fairly quickly.

How long a movie feels is more important than how long it actually is. That junkyard scene was probably only about 10 minutes long, but it felt like half an hour. The Fellowship of the Rings on the other hand is about 3 hours long but it feels like 2. Anything that feels longer than it actually is means that it isn't engaging the audience very well. Just think about being in a boring lesson vs being in an exciting lesson. Good lessons feel shorter whereas boring lessons can feel like an eternity.
