Transformers: Age of Extinction Reviews

REPUBLICAN BU******!
A complete waste of money, time and intelligence.
The movie is filled of American clichés, sick to death stereotypes, akwkard themes including phedophilia, one dimensional characters, lackluster action, bland acting and so many stupid and repetitive elements from the past films.
It's the exact and same movie but worse.
God help us and please make Transformers 5 a box office bomb. These movies are killing action films.

Not as god awful as Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers: Age of Extinction gives audiences what they should be expecting going into a Michael Bay Transformers flick. It's loud, dumb, and not worthy of a nearly 3 hour runtime. There are a few truly awesome action set-pieces, and no more Shia LaBeouf screaming. But that certainly doesn't make it worth watching. I just want this franchise to go into an age of extension itself. The special effects are still impressive though. Still, though, stop. please.

I think I am one of the few people who actually enjoys Michael Bay and his crazy explosion fetish haha. Now this one is a fresh new cast which I think was a good move. I enjoyed the previous three films because sometimes it's just nice to watch a movie that doesn't make you rack your brains trying to figure it out. It's cool that Youtube stars are starting to expand into the film industry like RWJ, Emmanuel Hudson, Spoken Reasons, and now Kassem G. So in the mythology of the Transformer universe that's what caused the dinosaurs to be extinct? I don't know that seems a little silly to be honest. I think it's funny that one of the characters mentions how ridiculous remakes and sequels are! At least Michael Bay knows how silly he can get. I think that this installment is definitely one of the darker more violent entries to the series. It still has a good amount of humor though. I even thought that the jokes and Bumblebees pop culture phrases however cheesy caused a few chuckles and smiles. I also notice this has the longest runtime so far for the series, but for me it's quite entertaining. The new transformers were pretty awesome. My new favorites being Hound and Crosshairs. There is some great action scenes as I would have expected. I consider Stanley Tucci's character as John Turturro's replacement from the previous films. The Dinobots were pretty epic and a good addition to the Transformer series. I will always enjoy Bumblebee although I feel he should have been in this more. Optimus Pride no matter what always ends up as a badass. I thought it was quite fun and entertaining. If you loved the first 3 you may enjoy this just as much or more.

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. To be honest, the second time around, I actually struggled not to fall asleep, that’s how bored I was by the damned thing. It also had to with the fact that these Transformers movies are just way too long for no good reason whatsoever. Seriously, why did they have to include so many bad guys? Anyway, it’s funny because, the first time around, I thought it was slightly better than the 2 previous installments but, back then, I probably did end up with this feeling only because they brought up so many new characters, not because the damned thing was actually better. It was actually pretty smart, they made us believe once again, by getting rid off the cast and bringing some new faces, that it would be something really different but the formula was still basically the same. There was also one detail that bothered me, it was the casting of Nicola Peltz who was basically there to replace Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who had already replaced Megan Fox. The issue with Peltz which was in fact pointed out by T.J. Miller was that she was a ‘hot teen’. It was therefore some seriously misguided eye candy but, on the other hand, it shows what kind of audience they were aiming for. The other thing is that even though it is a rather dumb blockbuster with some barely developed characters, the whole thing was actually rather hard to follow and lasted like forever (almost 3 hours!). Still, there were a few things to enjoy, Lockdown was pretty awesome, the Dinobots were pretty good too, there were some impressive action scenes (I wouldn’t expect less from Michael Bay) and there were some funny oneliners. Still, it has become such a boring franchise and I don’t think this movie is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of the genre.

I have never been so excited to see a Transformers movie since the first one. Yeah, last time I missed, but this time it was in digital 3D. I was booked for the best seat in the cinema hall. I prefer watching movie opening day itself because to avoid mix up with others opinion. I watch and I give my stance. Which makes my belief's unchangeable, if the opposite viewpoint to mine start to pour.

Seen many 3D movies and this was one of the mind blowing one. I was very much satisfied with the graphics and sound mixing. I just wanted to remind you that I often play the opening 20 seconds of 'Dark of the Moon'. You know why, because I love that awesome metallic sound to hear it in surround speakers. This was the 2 hours and 45 minute long movie, the runtime was never been an issue to me. I would have loved it if another 10 minutes of the stunts were added. Lots of new Autobots were introduced like the one you saw in the trailers, the Dinobots. Even all the stunts and transformation of Autobots from automobiles were shown from far enough distance to enjoy with pleasure. The graphic movie geeks will love whole movie like it made specially for them.

After all we have done, humans are hunting us.
But I fear we are all targets now.

It is partially a reboot movie. Someone just won't disappear into the thin air. They did not bother to clarify what happened to the original actors Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. I think we must assume that they will be back in the next and I don't think it is such a good idea. But still we need a proper explanation. Okay, this movie refreshed the franchise after lots of criticism in the last film. That's fine so the next film should take the responsibility on that matter. This is the only thing that worries the one who followed all the transformers movies. Other than that, there are minor flaws that are not big trouble maker once the entertainment began.

I don't know why there was so much hate on Michael Bay. Critics thinks they are the deciders who can change the fortune of a movie throwing it up between flop and success, but they are not. I really feel sorry for the audience who fall for those cheap tricks. Remember, critics are a bunch of sheep who follow one another till everyone fall into a deep hole, they may grab you along so be careful. The critic should change their profession or retire, because in the hundren years of film history, they were the obstacle for the filmmakers. Take advice from movie geeks if you needed one or take chances by yourself. That's what I gonna say you all.


Lots of refreshment in this fourth installment. The first one was the cast, I am very happy to bring all new faces here. I mean humans, not Autobots, as we know without or replace of Optimus Prime would not work. But we can see little bit upgrades in everything, including the technical side of the movie making as well as in the story. You are not only brought to the cinema hall to enjoy the giant robot like creature fight themselves, there were plenty of human side drama, sentiments and all the above the stunts.

It's really, really a grand idea to put Mark Wahlberg in the first place to this franchise. I can't praise that he saved this movie series in this part, but his presence made vast differences compared to the earlier three movies. In other side the humours were so good, it did play the part to put the movie on the right course. I still remember those funny lines from the movie and laugh. Especially, there is one I could not get rid off from my mind that follow like this: Swettie, get my alien gun. Hahaha. I know it was intense, but perfectly utilised in the perfect situation.

This time the grand finale was not in the US of America or Egypt or Arctic and Antartic, but was in China. Some of stunt sequences shot with the humans were greatly done on the edges of an old apartment building. Watching those in 3D gave me a thrilling experience. I also liked the songs that came when the stunts were in progress. The track was called 'Battle Cry' by Imagine Dragons, an awesome composition.

Like everyone categorize each installment with different ratings, I can't do that. I like all the before three movies equally with only the fractions of difference. The first two were so much fancied up and glamorized with the presence of Megan Fox. The third one was what tried to be more honest, but the cast does not look like blend well. That is where this the fourth movie made all the modifications and it worked. If this movie fails, then not because of the bad execution from the cast and crew, though the foul mouth critics to blame.

Anyway business wise it will do well all over the globe except the rating which will sink. This story ended with a strong line said by the great leader, Optimus Prime. That created more curious about the fifth movie. Hope the pre production begins very soon. In between that if you have not seen it yet, go for it. It is not a suggestion, but making you realise it was not bad like you have heard.

8.5/10
