Oh boy.

Well I guess it was a Transformers Movie/10? It's exactly what you'd expect I suppose. I feel cheated and lied to. Spoilers below.

But at the same time it is fucking anything but what you'd expect ad is just a complete clusterfuck, and that's an understatement. The film feels so bloated with too many characters and too much going on it really needed to cut the fat, and there's a lot of it. It feels like there are multiple plots going on at once, and evil Optimus is barely in it. There are also way too many characters that just don't contribute anything at all in the film, they just kind of are there briefly then never seen again, or don't do anything.

Let me talk about Megatron, because he's my favorite Transformers character. Megatron had a great design, and it's awesome to have Welker back in the role. But that's where the positive aspects stop for me. Megatron is really weird in this film as he's around for the first 20 minutes and vanishes from the plot up until the last few minutes. The final fight with him is pathetic and actually annoyed me. He's seen fighting every single one of the Autobots, but the catch is the fight takes place in the background of uninteresting human shenanigans. Whose idea was that, no one wants to see that, they want to see Megatron's fight. And there is no fight with Optimus Prime and Megatron, Prime sorta jumps on Megatron, cuts off his arm, and tosses him outside and that's it, there's nothing.

Evil Prime is completely wasted, it's only like a single scene. It's like they got chicken and were afraid to use the concept. There's too much stuff going on and they drop a big bomb that Earth is Unicron several times in the movie, then say it in the end credits scene as if it's supposed to be a shock. Unicron being Earth is another thing I don't like, it's taken from the Transformersrime cartoon and it wasn't a very good concept in there either. The Decepticons are used a bit better but still completely wasted, and Anthony Hopkins is the only interesting human in the movie, he has a fun relationship with Cogman.

I don't think I even let out half my thoughts. Wew. Normally I'm more lenient on these, but geez.

But man you aren't kidding about it being a cluttered. Way too much going on for the movies own good. They could have cut it down by atleast half an hour and made a much better movie. I think the idea was there but was poorly executed
