#transformers (2014)

This movie's story is boring and feels disjointed. While you don't expect much story-wise from this franchise, you do expect to at least care about the human characters, which I just can't seem to do. You don't get to the first transformation, and subsequently the first taste of real action, until about 35 minutes in, taking away opportunities to show off the CGI these movies are so good at. Not to mention one of the selling points, dinosaur Transformers finally being shown on screen at the 2 hour 13 minute mark in a 2 hour 45 minute movie. Meaning you only get these characters for about 15 minutes, most of which they aren't even on screen. This is also the first movie in the franchise to play pop music over some of the scenes, including fight scenes. The songs they chose don't fit the scenes they are playing them over or the movie as a whole.
