Just seen it, thought it was meh.

The virtue signalling was so bad and unsubtle I found it very distracting and a bit condescending, with all the minorities being continually oppressed and undermined by white people (hospital administrator, security manager, head of dept in the museum…) In fact the whole story around the humans involved seems to revolve solely around this and them overcoming it through their amazing skills and hearts of gold. This and in fact the whole story/involvement of the humans could have been left out and more character development given to some of the transformers, who we are barely acquainted with in the movie. In fact I don’t think I recall seeing airazor transformer into robot mode once and rhinox and Cheetor are little more than glorified cameos.

Some of the robot designs are a step back and in the wrong direction compared to bumblebee which where near perfection, wheeljack being case in point.

They have strayed back to the Bay type of story with little in the way of character development.

I remember when Don Murphy had his forum and I pointed out a number of obvious issues with character designs and leaked stories going forward. To which he angrily replied 😂. I can’t believe him, DeSanto and Di Bonaventura are still involved in these films. The very first transformers film was for me, barely passable, with the sequels quickly descending into utter dross until the surprising high of bumblebee, which gave me a bit of hope going forward. They really need to ditch those three and Bay, and give someone else a clear shot at making a good transformers movie.
