Well sure, Mark Walhberg is in it, of course it'll be horrible.

Marky Mark is the best thing this franchise has going for it at this point.

By the way, the new Revenge of The Fallen Megatron toy reminded me of this thread since it has a pair of cylindrical balls.

Is that the studio series one?

I like it! Going back to the OG Transformers look. Starscream looks awesome. Also in one of the last shots it looks like Bumblebee might change into a Jeep or something similar. The grill on his chest looks like an early Jeep grill.

Ok the rick roll was funny

The film is a flat reboot in disguise. It's incompatible with the previous films in pretty major ways -- Optimus and about seven other Autobots are already on Earth, Optimus explicitly sent Bee to Earth to protect it along with the humans, Shatter and her lieutenant are the first robots encountered by the US according to Sector 7, and is basically a remake of the first film. It's not horrible and I'd say it's better than the Marvel stuff I've seen recently, but it is getting positive reviews because this is the film people surely imagined they were getting when the first Transformers film was announced, especially given how much it borrows. It includes a lot of the stuff the first films were supposedly disliked for, such as wacky parent hijinks, but I have a feeling they'll escape comment this time around.

If this film does well, it will almost surely be the start of a new 'fan-friendly' Transformers cinematic universe. If it doesn't, it will remain a prequel. That's probably one of the big weaknesses of the film, that it sits in both of those spaces simultaneously. It also really invokes things from the previous films -- the score, while by a new composer, uses a lot of familiar bits from Jablonsky's scores.

The action lacks the insane limb-ripping murderous spectacle, of course.

Not horrible, not great -- it's basically what you'd expect. I think it could do really well but I wonder if franchise fatigue may hold it back. To quote George Lucas, it's the film fans want.

why does sector 7 even exist if these are the first robots ever encountered? Is megatron in it or mentioned at all?

I liked Bumblebee, it feels like the "boy and his dog" movie that the writers of the 2007 Transformers may have been aiming for

Well they sure left out a lot of rape.

If the movie was called Megatron, had no humans, and had megs stomping the poo poo out of autobots for 75min it would have made 100milion opening weekend

movies turned to poo poo when they went from interesting insect/monstrous designs for the robot heads to just being human faces with robot beards.

also when there was a 2minute scene explaining the legality of having sex with a minor
