Unsurprisingly, one of the biggest misfires in the series’ entire history—visually, at least; it’s a good reminder that these movies did a huge amount to bring new people to Transformers as a franchise, and, alas, did make an excruciating amount of money—ranks dead last. There’s good ideas here: especially trying to show the mechanical guts of the Transformers more. But it’s just such a visually incoherent mess at times you lose what makes Optimus such an iconic piece of design.
