I get not wanting to see the newest movie in a franchise that you dislike and I don't blame Doug Walker for not seeing the fifth Transformers movie. (I've seen it and it's bad.)
That said, when your slogan is "I remember it so that you don't have to" it becomes difficult to take the idea of refusing to see a bad movie seriously. (Not impossible but difficult.)
The Nostalgia Critic uses the trailer and the previous movies to predict almost every major plot point in the new movie. Is he accurate? For the most part yes. (I wouldn't consider a Sam Witwicky photograph to be the same thing as a cameo.)
That said, that's not as scathing of an indictment of the movie as you would think. In his vlogs on Avatar, Doug Walker consistently (and normally correctly) predicts plot points of later episodes and it's now one of his favourite shows (even when he's in character as The Nostalgia Critic.) His predicting those plot points isn't a flaw in the show, it's him being good at understanding storytelling.
Even so, I get why someone whose main critique of the Transformers movies is that they're formulaic would employ this gimmick (and yes it is a gimmick.) That said, it's not particularly funny the way the first three Nostalgia Critic Transformers episodes were but at least he was criticizing the movies themselves instead of the people who like them (unlike in the Transformers 4 video.)
So this Nostalgia Critic episode is, to use the Critic's own phrase "adequately satisfying".
