I enjoyed the first two movies, and while I have not seen the third , I will say it looks good. Now, I'm just an average person, and I will try to respect the opinions of others. Also, I am not saying the two movies were perfect, the second one had plot holes big enough for Texas to fall through, but they were still enjoyable.
Both movies had stunning visual effects, I think. Seeing the first one was the first time I stopped and thought, 'Wow, that looks so real!' And say what you will about the movies, but not only is the CGI good, the non-CGI is something to appreciate too, I think. You have to respect that the explosions and destruction is real for the most part. That is a bus being destroyed, those explosions in the sand are real, the Hoover Dam and Pyramids are really there, and so on.
The human focus for the movies is another thing I actually like. I like seeing humans shown so positively. Throughout the Transformer franchises, the humans have been useless all throughout, whether young or old. Here, they have a purpose. They're not just there to die or to look scared, they're able to fight back and help the Autobots win. I love positive portrayals of humanity, and this movie gave me one of the most positive. Besides, rendering the movements of all those Transformers was incredibly hard. The human focus was needed or else they would have gone way over budget most likely.
The goofy humor is another thing I enjoy. Yes, sometimes it is stupid, but it does work for the most part. Maybe I'm just a stupid guy, but that's just my opinion.
I'll cut this review short as I do not want to drag this on. I'll just leave this as a closing statement. These movies make all that money for a reason and it is not because people are stupid. At least, I don't think so.
I'm No Critic But....
