This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this movie is an absolute flop. The visual is eye-catching but rather fake, not as stunning as its prequels. It lacks of character development and contribution to the plot, as the protagonist' daughter is an useless character who drag the team onto outrageous situations. I just don't have any idea why she and her boyfriend are involved in the movie. This film also uses an stereotype which have already been used in all prequels: the lengthy and glorious battlecry of optimus and a tough boss. Is that all you got Michael Bay?? One more thing, i don't see the scene showing the Chinese governments and generals has anything to do with the story. Plenty of plot twist... So dissapointing Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Following much of the formula of the previous Transformers movies, but without the relative novelty of the first two, this one is subpar at best. The script is practically garbage. The characters are poorly developed, shallow, and much of the acting is terrible. Mark Wahlberg is a good actor and does the best job of the lot, but I think he was miscast for this role.

The movie is outrageously long and drawn out - almost 3 hours of basically CRAP that not even the pretty visuals and fight scenes could save.

While the special effects, explosions, and overall action scenes are spectacular as usual, some of the camera work is basically wobbling and out of focus as robots zoom by shooting at each other so that you don't really appreciate those parts of the fighting. The plot is shakier than ever, and as usual a major villain is still alive and manages to escape once again.

The humor is too forced at times, and many of the lines are eye-roll and head-shake worthy. The sexy girl is for the most part lost, helpless, and put in more for the looks than anything else. There are the usual prodigious camera close-ups and various angles showing off her sexy body. The characters are once again rather shallow and dumb, particularly the girl and especially her boyfriend, who seems to have been more of an afterthought in the script.

I don't even want to go on anymore with this review. Suffice it to say, I hope this is Michael Bay's last foray into the Transformers universe, for the sake of everyone genuinely interested in the Transformers.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Transformers as a film series has a reputation for visual excess & narrative deficit. This movie takes this reputation, supercharges it, and rockets the results at the audience and break-neck speed and expects to satisfy - and to a large proportion of the film going public, seems to achieve its goal. At this very moment, as I write this review, Transformers 4 has 101 positive reviews on Metacritic.com. These reviews are littered with repeated phrases like "no Sam Witwicky", "*insert robot name here* was badass" & "omg the action was awesome". And you can't really argue with these sentiments. The visuals have always been impressive in the Transformers movies, and while I personally never felt one way or another about the character of Sam Witwicky, it appears to be consensus that he was highly disliked. What lacks in the Transformers movies is, among many, many things, is a coherent story and fleshed out characters.

The story - if you can even call it that - leaps from action set piece to action set piece with no regard for common sense, mood or character motivation. The story plods along at snails pace (for an insane 165mins) transmitting relevant information to the movie-goer almost solely through exposition and overlong establishing shots. Further, I was never sure about why anybody was doing anything. Nothing is explained in any detail - we as the audience are just expected to accept that humans in black clothes = bad guy, humans in pastels = good guys. The same thing corresponds to the Transformers themselves.

The characters in this latest Transformers movie are among the weakest and most poorly written of any I have seen at the movies in the longest time. While Mark Wahlberg attempts valiantly to inject some energy in to this train wreck of a film, he is weighed down with a daughter/boyfriend subplot (communicated wholly by only the snappiest Michael Bay dialogue) and the convoluted (and pointless) good-guy motivations of the hero. The daughter and boyfriend were dead weight, contributing nothing whatsoever to the film. Bay, nonplussed with his failure to contribute anything meaningful character-wise decides to go full-retard instead adding a frustratingly unfunny "slacker-employee" character into the 1st act, who vomits rapid-fire sarcasm into the air during the initial action scenes. His death at the end of act 1 was highly satisfying, and in line with the terrible storytelling, largely ignored by the other characters. The characters in Transformers are an unequivocal failure on all levels. Of particular disappointment to me was Stanley Tucci and Kelsey Grammar, who like Wahlberg, are clearly here just for the paycheck.

And since I've used the terms rapid-fire and failure already, lets talk product placement. This is a particular peeve of mine as a movie-goer which partly explains the rage I felt as I left my local cinema. Michael Bay, while never shy about plugging products in his film, takes it to a whole new level. Its as if he is standing in front of the audience with a shotgun, which he uses to simultaneously blast you in the face with hip and happening products (Beats headphones - **** you) while insulting your intelligence by thinking you won't notice it happening. Unforgivable and further evidence that Transformers is first and foremost advertising. Who needs to consider the art of film-making when you can sell stuff, right?

These monumental failures reduce my interest in the film. No amount of explosions and car-driving montages can supplement for these deficits.

Once upon a time, I had hopes that the great cartoon from my childhood would make for a great adventure movie. 4 movies later, my hopes have been well and truly dashed. I will not be returning to the cinema to see any more Transformer movies. I implore you all the do the same thing.

The new cast is better than the old, with Mark Wahlberg in the real role, but still none of the characters are relatable, and the effects at times seem a bit unfinished. All you need to know is that it is still a Michael Bay film of 165 minutes of brain cancer on screen.
With some redeeming moments, it's still not enough to call this film a "good" one, even though the cast has improved immensely.

So much of this movie makes little sense to me. Like why is Optimus Prime being injured a big deal when all he needs to do is scan a passing truck and become shiny and new again?

UGH. It pains me that this movie made money. LOTS of money. It means Micheal Bay thinks he did something right, and we are in for another 2 installments of this crap...at least.

The plot had more holes than swiss cheese. While I don't expect the best from these movies, I do expect they asstay consistent within their already established fictional world and the rules therein. This movie did not. It was as if powers and characters were created out of lazy writing rather than to add to the narrative. One character instantly revitalized himself and later gained the ability to fly when there was no ability ever before. Would of been useful earlier in the movie. Guess he forgot he could do that.
Three hours was too long. Yet, almost felt too short since that time was mismanaged. There will be expected character appearances with zero explanations.

Brand new actors, Transformers, stories, and so on are all packed in here. Does it sound like this movie will be a change to the series, and maybe even for the better? The true answer is this: TF4 is the same movie as the previous ones, and that's not good. Michael Bay tried to make us care about the characters in this movie, especially the main family that includes Mark Wahlberg as the one and only father, Nicola Peltz as his daughter, and Jack Reynor as the daughter's boyfriend. At first, I started giving a slight amount of care towards them. However, as the movie progressed, the dialogue with them just became completely stupid, and I didn't care about them in the end. Speaking of dialogue, it is awful. Michael Bay still puts his terrible humor and one-liners in there. In terms of story, it becomes so similar to the past films, which also means it becomes jumbled and clunky. In my eyes, most people come to see the Transformers movies to see non-stop action and explosions and amazing visual effects. I will admit that the visual effects set a new bar for the franchise. The action at its core, though? It's exactly what you would expect out of a Michael Bay film. The first few scenes of the action entertained me. Then, it just went on and on and on, and it got so tiring. As a very young child, I loved dinosaurs. TF4 has something awesome: DINOBOTS. Yeah, no. They are only in there for a few action scenes, and they brought nothing new to the table. Great. The only thing good in this movie, as I said before, were the special and visual effects. However, even that should be expected out of this franchise and this day and age. Everything else wasn't good at all, and I walked out knowing that every other movie that would come out of this franchise here on out would be the same. Expand

I thought the third hour would make an excellent beginning to the "next" movie, but nobody asked me. Expand

Long ago I thought that Shia LeBouf was annoyingThe director, screenplay writers and producers took everything that was tedious, incoherent and ineffective from every previous installment of this franchise and turned the dial to 11. Long ago I thought that Shia LeBouf was annoying naturally, by the high order of his genes, now I stand forcefully corrected when an actor that I actually like, Mark Whalberg, was transformed into the only main character model that Michael Bay obviously understands or knows: Shia LeBouf. The same can be said of any female protagonist. Now instead of Megan Fox, there is a blond actress that has been turned into Megan Fox by a similar conjuration of template swapping, with the added annoyance that she is not even capable of the already meager autosufficiency her previous incarnation showed in her turn as "the film's girl". This time, she is twice-damsel-in-distress by having to be rescued out of her screenplay stupor by TWO main male protagonists: father and boyfriend (both miraculosly looking the same age).
Disjointed and incongruent even for a movie based on toys and boring and long beyond any wet dreams Michael Bay has ever had about pushing his style to the limits and making the ultimate boring and long film.
Do not reward these people with your money, and what is more important, do not ENCOURAGE them with your presence at some theatre, to keep on making these abominations they call cinema.

Even the action scenes were boring and rehashes of what we've seen before.

To top it all off, for the first 3/4 of the movie Optimus acts like a jackass and the autobots he ends up with are a ragtag band of misfits that you want to see die just as badly as the bad guys. Ugh what a waste of everything.

this newest installment is an insult to anyone who is a fan of the previous 3 films, an insult and a bloated self indulgent piece of trash.
the rules that were established in the series are repeatedly broken. things like humans making there own transformers, the autobots and the decepticons now having a maker. yes you heard me correctly, they have there own god. i could go on and on but will just make myself as angry as i was when i was watching the film.
save your money and for the director, please give up on transformers........ for all our sakes

Words cannot describe how dreadful this movie is. If you watch this, at least a year will be taken off your life. It's so bad, that I've heard someone DIED after the 5th or 6th climax. With out a doubt, the WORST movie I've ever seen. AtWords cannot describe how dreadful this movie is. If you watch this, at least a year will be taken off your life.

At least Troll 2 is laughably bad, this movie just leaves you with all the negative emotions a person could possibly have. Expand

This is literally the worst movie I've ever seen and whoever gave it a 10 should have their Metacritic account taken away. The visuals aren't bad, but at the fourth Transformers movie it's nothing new or exciting so it isn't a selling point.This is literally the worst movie I've ever seen and whoever gave it a 10 should have their Metacritic account taken away. The visuals aren't bad, but at the fourth Transformers movie it's nothing new or exciting so it isn't a selling point. The movie sabotages anything good it has, TJ Miller is good for the small amount he's in but is underused. To fully express my dislike for this movie, there's a scene in which the daughter's boyfriend has to explain why it is legal for them to date, and there's a lot of reasons it's creepy. First, whoever wrote it knows about this law and I don't want to ask why. Second, Michael Bay wrote a sexy character so young they had to explain why it's legal, but they don't have to explain why it's gross. Dinobots are in like 10 minutes, humor sucks, directing sucks, writing sucks, acting is good 10% of the time. Expand

This new sequel to Bay's Transformers' saga offers another impressive show visual effects, but they're not enough to save this picture from a fatally cliched storytelling, characters, and a somehow disappointing result.

Transformers: Age of Extinction takes the worst elements of the previous installments in the franchise, then cranks the awful up to 11. A dull, cut-and-paste story with atrocious dialogue and terrible performances make this an absolute slogTransformers: Age of Extinction takes the worst elements of the previous installments in the franchise, then cranks the awful up to 11. A dull, cut-and-paste story with atrocious dialogue and terrible performances make this an absolute slog to sit through. Worst of all, the action actually manages to be pretty boring. It doesn't feel like Michael Bay was having any fun constructing the set pieces this time. Yet, the movie is somehow almost three hours long. As someone who found a fair amount of enjoyment in the first few movies, this was a massive letdown. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Literally one of the worst movies of all time. Action is the only thing this movie has going for. If you want characters you empathize with, a decent plot, and correct geographical depictions, this is the movie to avoid. Hong Kong does not just border onto forest. Mark Wahlberg should just stick to comedy as this may be his most unconvincing performance yet. What a waste of my time. Expand

I will not take this as a part of transformers. Completely failed in everything, but still better than The Last Knight.

I had created an account just to express my disgust with this trash. The plot is acceptable only by a teenager with especially low standards, both as a whole and separate scenes it just obscenely stupid and incoherent. One-liners are clicheI had created an account just to express my disgust with this trash. The plot is acceptable only by a teenager with especially low standards, both as a whole and separate scenes it just obscenely stupid and incoherent. One-liners are cliche in a way that resembles a parody rather than a blockbuster. It looks like a student project aiming to show CGI skills with worthless characters, so ungodly stupid that you actually wonder if they are not mentally impaired by design. Both main characters and power lust government workers share the same illogical insanity. It is the worst high budget production I have seen in my life, appalling beyond any measure. Even must-have hot girl character is repeatedly under 18 which leads to cringe dialogs. Unbeleviable piece of trash. Expand

"Transformers: Age of Extinction" isn't just a really bad movie. It's the worst movie I've ever seen. Seriously, godawful movies like "Batman and Robin" and "The Room" are painful to watch, but they are at least 1 hour and a half long. This"Transformers: Age of Extinction" isn't just a really bad movie. It's the worst movie I've ever seen. Seriously, godawful movies like "Batman and Robin" and "The Room" are painful to watch, but they are at least 1 hour and a half long. This movie was an excruciating 3-hour experience, filled with terrible acting performances, nonsensical plot points, incomprehensible action sequences and VERY SLOW pacing.

Michael Bay doesn't have a clue how to direct a movie, much less an action movie. It's sad.

If you haven't seen the movie, congratulations. You just skipped three hours of anguish.

0/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Als Kinoliebhaber ist es ein sehr schweres Unterfangen die Filme der "Transformers"-Reihe zu schauen, da diese eine Handlung aufweisen, welche auf einen Bierdeckel passt und dennoch sich in vielen Punkten widerspricht und/oder keine wirkliche Logik aufweist.
Doch fälle ich kein Urteil ohne besagte Filme gesehen zu haben und so kam es, dass ich nun den vierten Teil nachholte.
Auch wenn ich versuchte ganz unvoreingenommen an den Film zu gehen machte es einem "Age of Extinction" schon in den ersten Minuten fast unmöglich nicht abzuschalten.

Die ersten Wortwechsel sind ein Graus und die "slapstick"-Einlage mit dem Football schmolz meine Synapsen. Nicht das ich per se die Szene nicht lustig finden könnte, doch die fehlende Fähigkeit eine schauspielerische Leistung an den Tag zu legen vernichtete jede Glaubwürdigkeit. Selbst meine ungeborenen Tochter hätte den Ball besser/schlechter werfen können. Was wir als Zuschauer geboten bekommen ist dann ein Mann, welcher einen schlechten Wurf darstellen soll, dennoch zu minderbemittelt ist und somit nur in der Lage ist den Ball sich direkt vor die Füße zu werfen. Solch einen schlechten Wurf würde ich nicht mal einer Person ohne Arme zutrauen.

Nun bleibt es aber leider nicht nur bei einer kleinen und unbedeutenden Szene, sondern die Idiotie des Filmes steigert sich ins Undenkbare.
Der Film versucht dem Zuschauer ernsthaft zu vermitteln, dass die CIA ohne Wissen und Zustimmung des Präsidenten ein totalitärer Apparat mit eigener Agenda sein kann, welcher sogar ohne rechtliche Absicherung und Erlaubnis handelt und seine Ziele, sowie die Verfolgung einer bestimmten Gruppe durchführt.
Noch unzählige Szenen und Dialoge könnten in der Luft zerrissen werden, da diese in ihrer Qualität nicht ein mal mehr im "Trash"-Genre anzusiedeln wären, doch dies wäre verschenkte Liebesmüh.

Dennoch darf man nicht die Arbeit komplett als Schandfleck bezeichnen, da es auch genug Personen gab, welche bei der Umsetzung des Filmes ihr Bestes gegeben haben und nur ihrer Arbeit nachgegangen sind. Kostümdesigner, Animatoren, Ausstatter usw. sollten von der Schande befreit sein, welche der Regisseur (Michael Bay) und der Drehbuchautor (Ehren Kruger) über die Branche der Filmindustrie abermals brachten.

Wer auf Explosionen steht wird mit "Age of Extinction" bestens bedient sein, da einem schon nach wenigen Minuten das Gehirn implodiert.
So kann ich abschließend noch was gutes loswerden:
„Danke, ich muss diesen Film nie wieder schauen."

Can't figure out if Age Of Extinction is better or worse than The Last Knight. The plot makes no sense and is boring as hell. And for a movie with the word "Transformers" in the name, it focuses on the humans way too much.
