Went to see it last night with some friends.

 

Now I realize it's a Michael Bay movie, so I'm not expecting an intricate or even well developed plot.  Nor am I expecting great dialogue.  What I am expecting is explosions (and plenty of them), and giant robots punching each other in the face.  A Popcorn Movie in other words.

 

This thing was disappointing, I ran out of patience with it about an hour in.

It was way too long for a Bay movie.  It started at 7:40 and was over at 10:30, I found it really dragged at times.  They could have cut about an hour out, and not affected the story in the least.

There were a number of scenes that I found too cheesy.  For example, when Hopkins is telling the story of Merlin his Robot butler starts playing dramatic music on a organ.  Which is basically the joke. 

I can't remember a lot about the film, because I stopped paying attention to it.

 

It wasn't as good as the first two.

that's a shame, was planning to go the the big iMax cinema to watch this cause Michael Bay and explosions etc, but sad to hear that

Heard bad reviews from friends about this and mummy.

Same, haven't heard anything good about it

Still have yet to watch it. Heard mixed reviews but majority are not good.

Is it really that bad of a movie or is it just not a movie that lived up to Transformers expectations?
