Let’s begin with the positives.  Mark Wahlberg was a great choice to replace Shia LeBoeuf.  Mark is by far a better actor and has honed his skills in the action genre. His reactions are believable,  accepting them. There was continuous action that made the almost 3 hour film fly by.

Now the negatives. Your could have called this movie anything BUT Transformers. Michael Bay disposed of existing mythology and came up with a completely new one.  It was an utter fabrication so if you are expecting consistency and honoring story mythology, sorry.

Action: 7/10
Storyline: 2/10
