Derekrusselpurvis's rating
The movie looks absolutely amazing. The animation, and effects are breathtaking; the characters look stunning, and the environment is beautiful. Do I even need to mention the music? From what I was able to hear, A+ as usual with this series.
Toothless and the Ligh Fury relationship seemed to be a decent push for the movie, and I was looking forward to some cute moments that hopefully wouldn't be handled with too much cliche.
However... cliche is the very word that comes to mind when I think about this film...
So far biggest issue I had with the film (as far as I watched) is the villain. (What's his name again?.... eh...) His motives were so basic and "cliche" that I only made it about 1/2 way into the movie.... I just couldn't stand the lack of narrative and story telling the movie brough to the table.
I'm sure that fans of the trilogy will truly enjoy this 3rd installment... but I doubt it will be anyone's favorite. I plan on renting the film and finishing it one day... But I could sit there any longer.
To me, a movie is only as good as its villain... and this villain brought nothing to the table. It would have been better if there was no villain at all honestly, but the laziness in writing that came along with the villain truly did spoil this movie for me... call me petty... Dreamworks hasn't really captured my attention in a while.... I really hope I don't start developing a bias against them.
Let's make sure our story is worth telling, especially when ending such an beloved series.

I guess there was another earlier version of this film, but I would have probably never known about it if it wasn't for this film.
The negative reviews have shown me that either critics don't know what good movies are anymore; or that people are not looking at this film for what it is individually. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and was amazed at how well Kevin Hart was able to act in such a fun yet serious role.
I highly recommend for a more mature audience.

Surprisingly, the one with the most enduring story has the least flashy effects.
Don't get me wrong, the overall film is beautiful as the rest, but I felt there was far more emphasis placed on characters relationship with her "Bumblebee", than trying to look cool with too many slow motion effects and huge explosions.
Hailee Steinfeld Knocks it out of the park... I fell in love with her character almost right away. John Cena also delivers an overall well performance for his role.
The film is filled with the 1980s charm and music. It's a beautiful story with a strong human elimate to it.
The only issue I had with the film was that it seemed lazy with its portrail of the military... just steriotylical "Avatar" type brutes who just want to shoot things up without thinking... But when you demonize a group like this, it diminishes any honest points you tried to bring across... However, they didn't totally fumble that eliment; which brought my review from a 7 to an 8.
I'm sad that we probably won't get to see anymore of Hailee Steinfeld's character (who knows?)... but this film renews my hope for such Transformer films in the future...
Brovo! I highly recommend
