Meh. Sure lots of good stuff. Some funny stuff...B was funny...Elita was kinda fun. I thought Scatlett and Keegan did a good job too. Lawrence Fishburn...love the man and everything he's done, but kept hearing Morpheus when he gave a speech. Amazing color and animation. Very good world building. Probably brilliant in the theatre with 3D.
BUT...simply can't get past the crap voices. These are all highly accomplished actors in their own rights, who do the best they can with their roles, but Liam Hemsworth doesn't have the voice to be Optimus Prime. Brian Tyree Henry doesn't do Megatron justice at all. Steve Buscemi as Starscream was...ok...better when they modified his voice at least. Jon Hamm??? Just pictured his Mad Men character everytime he spoke. Shockwave? Pathetic. And for the love of all that's holy....why hasn't anyone ever gotten Soundwave right since the original cartoon???
As for the arc of D16 to Megatron...felt reeeeaaallly rushed and frankly out of character based on what we'd seen previously. Suddenly he snapped from the feeling of betrayal and became not only a homicidal murder bot, but a strong/loud vocal leader of the "guard"? Maybe the directors felt some kind of time constraints, but they did a disservice not drawing his arc out, and also the final transformations and battle between Optimus and Megatron.
No idea what all the fuss is about this being the greatest Transformer movie ever. Definitely better than some recent content, but best ever? Not even close.
