When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary yellow VW bug.
Review
Decent, by the numbers, popcorn movie. Better than the other live action Transformers movie, but still not very good. Best parts were the fight scenes, especially on Cybertron. Otherwise, it was average, 5/10.
Strong contender for best live-action _Transformers_ movie ever made, but Christ, what a low fuckin' bar that is. The fact it isn't the clear and absolute winner is a devastating criticism.
_Final rating:??½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
