Hmmm, does seem they are taking it, in a perhaps, more serious direction.

Maybe we can get a solid action movie without terrible sexual innuendo, rascism, and dialogue that doesn't want to make you cry in pain.

However I will say that I think action wise it was perfect just e plot and bits in between we're pretty bad.

Without Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, and Starscream, this movie is going to be even bigger crap! Is Galvatron going to be the major villain in this?

Ah, thanks. Well, he is kind of one of the few things I know about the franchise, so...

Everyone I know who saw it said it was hilarious and very entertaining! Heard positive things about Anthony Mackie's performance as well.

I saw the word X-MEN, got excited he was returning for Days of Future Past then read he was going to be in Transformers 4. What a letdown.

Pain and Gain was dark,twisted and funny as hell. Michael Bay was trying to be to cool in the Transformers films.Like the dad that tries to use the same lingo as his teen age kid to bond with him. The Rock really steals the film. Seriously,this is some of Dwayne Johnson's best acting to date.

awww, we need Kelsey back on the X-Men franchise.

Hopefully on the next movie, once the apocalyptic future is prevented.

Beast, Nightcrawler, Gambit and Cyclops back. then THAT would be the ultimate X-Men movie.

I have hope

This is Transformers were there are decepticon villains not human villains again!

That helps.
Though, it's not like this is the series' first high-caliber actor.

Francis Macdormand, John Malkovich (who did nothing for the actual plot, but was funny) and Jon Voight..

Frasier'll be a welcome addition.

it would be nice to have a tranformers film that does not revolve around stupid humans as the main characters. They should just be like "OH NO EARTH IS IN TROUBLE!, AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT AND [frick] SHIT UP!" the only humans I want to see all the ones running away from all the explosions !
