I went in having not seen any of the earlier films, and trust me I was not expecting much. I was actually surprised by how much sense the film actually did make, at least for the first hour that is. After that it devolved into complete disarray, making less and less sense while knocking the sense out of you. I did enjoy the first third of this bloated film, (and I use the term "film" lightly.) The plot started out interesting enough, with a tech company backwards engineering their own Transformers, but just when I think the story might get interesting, it completely takes a backseat to two solid hours of unintelligible nonsensical action sequences strung together by comedic one-liners. Ho-hum.
