The new Transformers movie sucks. It sucks a lot. What a big steaming pile of digital effects bullshit. Watch it for flashes and motion and loud noises, but don't watch it for heart. This is the movie from hell.
This movie's focus is squarely on the humans which is why it fails so miserably. Even Bumblebee the robot with the most screen time has a broken voice box to keep him quiet. And we're asked to believe this even though he can assume any vehicle's shape at will. Why go to such lengths to silence the metal men? Great personalities like Kup and Arcee from the 1984 Transformers movie have no echo hear, only the cold silence of technology.
Optimus Prime's updated look is kinda cool, but Megatron's face is an unrecognizable mess. Oh silly Michael Bay thinking he was so smart when actually he didn't understood anything at all about what was genuine about Transformers. This tragic mistake is not just a new-low for and otherwise respectable cartoon, it's rock bottom for adaptations in general (sorry Godzilla 1998).
