I hate the franchise movie syndrome that Hollywood pumps out incessantly. I've never watched any Transformer film before, or any CGI overloaded comic book heroes either. I watched this expecting to go search for something else soon, but found it was fairly well balanced in terms of action then humour. One star was added for Hailee who held it all together, all in all not a must see or avoid, just a little entertainment if there's nothing better to watch.
