Ok, let's take a few lines and try and get the plot out of the way first (said Michael Bay.. probably).
We start off in old England with the Knights of the round table (who dance where ever they're able) getting help from Merlin (Stanley Tucci) and some older Transformers. Cut to present day and Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) is floating though space and bumps into his home planet (or what's left of it). Meanwhile back on Earth Transformers are declared illegal and... I can't be arsed anymore (said Michael Bay.. probably).
Let's be honest I wasn't expecting a masterpiece.. I've seen all the previous incarnations and, with the exception of the first one they've all been dreadful .. This one though, was insulting. The dialogue was as if someone had lobbed a 'cliche' hand grenade in to a room where 7000 screen writers were blindly stumbling through a mountain of dictionaries..
Granted, I appreciate this film is aimed at the Radio 1 crowd (0 to 8 year olds) and with this in mind you have to cater for their limited vocabulary. So why not make it a U certificate and be done with it.. Take out the 'oo er' mrs jokes and tone down the mild violence..
