[THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR CRITICS.] If you go into this movie with some kind of expectation that this is going to be the equivalent of some award winning Oscar nominee movie. This is not the movie for you.
This movie isn't perfect, But is a very fun time This movie is funny and enjoyable. If you are going to this movie thinking it will be some deep complex issue between characters and emotions. You are at the watching the wrong movie, and you should go watch a movie like twilight or something else. If you like Cars, Fighting, Robots, and Explosions, You will have a great time.
If you go into this movie wanting to be entertained and have fun, You will.
If you go into this movie tearing apart the whole plot and constantly criticizing everything, You won't have fun.
This movie is a fun escape from reality, I think this movie accomplishes what it was made to do and that is, Having fun, cool transformer battles, and making you laugh.
My only critique is the Maximals don't get very much screen time. Luckily for those wanting more Maximals this is only the beginning, and there is supposed to be more movies about Maximals.
