I Feel Like I'm The Only One That Actually Liked This Movie
So I went in expecting to hate this movie and was expecting to leave the theater calling it the worst Transformers movie and the worst movie of 2017. Instead, I ended up ranking this the 2nd best Transformers movie. And no I'm not a "dumb/stupid" or "retarded" moviegoer. I enjoy Oscar winning/worthy movies. I even own a few Oscar winning movies (talking about Best Picture category too). So that's not why I enjoyed the movie. I haven't really liked a Transformers movie since the 1st. I did like 4 because I was getting tired of Shia's character. I can only stand him/tolerate him in the first movie, so Mark Wahlberg made 4 A LOT better.
Anyway, I'm kind of surprised that when I went on the internet to read what everyone else thought everyone has been hating it (talking about actual moviegoers). I thought the movie had an actual plot/story for once and stayed focused on it.Things kept moving plot wise and didn't just randomly stop for a scene of unnecessary humor. The movie did have unnecessary humor at times, but this time around, I was able to tolerate it. Also, the movie didn't have Bay's "Inception-like" explosions where one explosion split into smaller ones and then those smaller ones split into more and so on. And there wasn't explosions just because (Mark Wahlberg's house being blown up in the 4th movie). Everything about this movie was a little more on track than 2, 3, and 4. Heck, even the love interest was important to the plot for once and wasn't there to be hot. She actually did stuff. So it was kind of surprising that everyone else seems to hate it.
I did have a problem with the constant changing of aspect ratios. Plus the movie could've used a little more Optimus, although I knew ahead of time he'd be in it for 10-15 minutes max. But other than that I actually really enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought and thought it was a better Transformers movie. I sort of don't get the hate for it. Well, I do, but I don't.
