I saw the movie last night and I was actually quite impressed with it. I had seen the terrible ratings the movie got so maybe I went in with low expectations, but I quite enjoyed myself. The movie is a bit long, but the action was great, Wahlberg was a way better lead than Shia "the beef", the plot was about as good as any of the other movies, and I actually thought the humor was far better than the past couple of Transformers films. You have to go into the film with the right frame of mind, but it is by no means a terrible film. I would say it is far better than the shit that was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and is at least as good if not better than Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
To be honest, I think the reason everyone is hating on this movie is simply because it is another Transformers movie, and we all thought the series was done.
Also, minor spoilers here, but at one point in the film Optimus rides in on T-Rex bot, destroying everything in his wake (and probably a bunch of civilians too), then the camera cuts to Wahlberg who gives Optimus the slightest of nods like a total badass. I was laughing my ass off. That and all the talk about the "seed" were too funny.
