The movie to me....was what it was. I wasn't even mad, I mean I was unimpressed but it just was what it was to me, it was using the Transformers IP to make some "family oriented" action blockbuster. It wasn't really for me, a nerd who was obsessed with Transformers, it was for the casual movie going audience. I didn't hate it, didn't love it, and thought "wow would I have done that differently" but I would be lying if I said it didn't feel nice for Transformers to be more than some niche thing for once, like suddenly everybody knew about it again and I wasn't such a weirdo. It just became another piece of pop culture casual nerdiness like Spider-Man or X-Men, girls thought Bumblebee was cute, normie guys like the action and hot Megan fox.
