Average viewer score of 6.7/10 from 6,821 ratings.
Decent, by the numbers, popcorn movie. Better than the other live action Transformers movie, but still not very good. Best parts were the fight scenes, especially on Cybertron. Otherwise, it was average, 5/10.

Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena are the two that are most noteworthy on the cast, across both the human and robot…
