I really enjoyed this, more than I thought I would given TF4 and 5). Has a bit more kid-orientated appeal (which is fine), and a semi-decent (if somewhat unoriginal) story as opposed to the previous 6. The Charlie-BBee relationship managed to get some emotional investment from the viewer, which was nice.
Yep, as others have mentioned - it had heart.
I think the best thing I can say about this movie is that my 11 yo daughter actually wanted to see it, we watched it together, and she loved it. As far as I'm concerned, that speaks volumes.
I didnt really know who Hailee was, but she did a good job and is arguably the best hoomun character so far. (Ok, maybe tied with Simmons...)
Soundtrack was awesome. Looking forward to getting a copy of that!
The toyline is a bit of a let down compared to whats in the movie. We get tons of crap for the past few movies, but no decent figs for this so far? (Maybe theres some coming - I'm not really up to date with global TF toy news...)
Mind you, this movie has made me realise that I need a VW Beetle Bumblebee in my collection now.
I rank this equal first alongside the 2007 movie which, despite its flaws, had real impact as the first live action movie (and because Blackout).
TF Figs of 2023:
1) WnR Springer
2) Legacy Bludgeon
3) Legacy Leo Prime/Nemesis Leo Prime.
