it's overrated.. not enough screen time for transformers dialogue between minor characters, imo
the design of the transformers was awesome though and the sound and picture were great. worth a boring afternoon watch, but meh
I just don't really see, overall, how it was much different from the Michael Bay strategy in film-making. Long plot with too much dialogue from optimus/whichever hero. Main character becomes extended side-plot. Bad guys crash the party. Again and again and again. If there were no michael bay transformers movies in existence, this would rate as equal in my mind. Not great, not the worst, but also bordering 'not good' because of the overall plotting of middle/middle-end
