I get why you can't have a whole movie like that due to cost and such, but holy hell all the cameos, and you could recognize everyone straight up.

Even if you could have the whole movie like that, awesome eye candy visuals and action scenes don't make a story alone.

By the scene where Bee is fumbling around in the house, breaking things, I was out of the movie entirely. I didn't get the pace, I was bored, and didn't have enough of a grasp of the overall story/point to be enthusiastic.

That killed it. A lot of the movie was boring after that.

Unfortunately, this is not just on Michael Bay's shoulders. 1 of the movie execs from Hasbro was interviewed about the 2007 film, and he said the clumsy scene outside Sam's house represented the essence of Transformers.
Different writers and director, but they still think this is what Transformers is about.
I found this 1 of the worst aspects of the Bayformers films, and unfortunately this movie had it in spades.

Hell, just watch DOTM when Soundwave is offing Autobots and Bee is next in line.

I also found Haliee did a decent job, but with Bumblebee the only Transformer around plus not able to talk, she couldn't carry the movie on her own.
Shia at lest had Optimus Prime around, so he could have an intelligent conversation with a Transformer. Also, Sam's journey in ROTF was epic.
Neither Hailee nor Bumblebee had any epic vibe.

Very agree.
