Ariel and I saw it yesterday. We both loved it. She went into it ready to hate "fake Bumblebee" but he wound up being one of her favorite characters.
He stole the show. Maybe because he was mute he still retained his old 'underdog' appeal.
Or maybe because he played 'Baby Come Back' and 'Sexual Healing'. Cute little Bumblebee trying to hook up a bro.

I have to admit, I was pulling for the bad guy when Starscream went up against that squadron of Raptors. Him cutting and running when things went bad was so in line with the original character that it made me smile.
Which kind of made up for the lack of talking. The only thing that would have made that movie perfect is in the end credits when he's hauling ass, just to hear a little of that 'Megatron is down! I am in command! As your newly elected leader...' That would have been the perfect time to hear it.
So, what did everyone think of Optimus calling Megatron brother?
"You're either lying or stupid." "I'm stupid! I'm stupid!" Megatron and Starscream
