MORE MOVIE OPINIONS

I didn't want to cramp all of them together so I'm separating them so it's easier on everyone's eyes. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age of Extinction: 

Pretty good plot, I love how we're seeing more variety in species like the Dinobots. Very entertaining, I love how chaotic it is. New main character! Cade >>> Sam 

Lockdown (cons) His dog things are honestly the worst cg dogs I've ever seen, seriously what are those. I'm angry, he killed Ratchet how dare he. *breaks chair*

Lockdown (pros) uh fucking terrifying, I hate how eerie and like actually scary his theme and motives are. The fact that he gets actually good and talented people to do his bidding and he's a legitimate threat is great, I love his creepy vibe and his ship. He's a great villain and he doesn't show mercy. 

Galvatron is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, it's such a disgrace to Megatron. Although I do get that it's supposed to be a human reconstruction of him but oh my god. 

Some designs are really really good: Optimus, Crosshairs, Drift, etc etc. I love the new crew despite always having a soft spot for the old crew, I love Crosshairs and the rest. Cade is really interesting. Frank Welker as Megatron was really cool to see, I can't pick who I like better between him and Hugo however.

Tessa, Tj Miller and Shane add pretty much nothing to the story. You could remove them and nothing would change.

The dinobots, they're so incredibly cool (despite being popular species but hey, it's not Jurassic Park I can excuse it.) I love Grimlock, his design and how he has a flamethrower that's really cool. Also, you can really tell the size of them compared to Optimus.

Interesting characters always getting the least amount of screentime.

The raid scene. "They were my friends." Broke me oh my god, Optimus :(  I love how funny the movie is, Stanley Tucci was a very good decision I love his character. 

The Last Knight:

Frank Welker as Megatron, again really great casting decision. It took me a while personally to get used to the new Megatron because his face is quite humanoid but honestly I love it now, you can tell he's based on TF Prime which is really cool and I love his mouth guard design. His alt-form is also great, I missed his jet form a lot and it's an interesting take on it. Megatron is just amazing in this film too despite the fact he's gotten much weaker, he's still a decent threat and still has smarts. I love how he shows compassion and grief when he finds Starscreams decapitated head (assuming he didn't know what happened to him during DOTM)

Megatron and Optimus disappear for a long time, they're barely in the movie at all which is quite sad. They're both pretty much at their peaks in these films and yet they disappear in the second and third acts

Cade. He's amazing and a really interesting protagonist.

Megatron's crew. They're really random and half of them look the same (giving me Predator vibes, they're kinda like his own suicide squad.) Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't he have rather had Shockwave or Soundwave help him? I kind of forgot what happened to them but if they are alive it makes no sense. 

Barricade, I do miss his old spiky style but I love how they finally utilized the Cop sirens and gave him heterochromia, finally :D I'm not too sure on his Punish & Enslave gauntlets but they do look pretty cool. 

Barricade isn't in the movie enough.

Quintessa is in the movie!! Holy shit I never thought this would happen but we get the backstory to who Optimus' 'maker' is.
