Review of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) by Martyn B — 23 Jan 2015

Way to long, way to boring. What I mean by that was is I'm pretty sure that Michael Bay wanted to prove that you could get bored from non-stop explosions that are irritatingly unrealistic and the last like 45 minutes is just Michael Bay water boarding us with just metal and explosions and just loud noises.

If your going to have human characters in a Transformers movie, you have to make them interesting and have the audience actually care about them, though I do give them props for having (just one of them) the humans actually do stuff, Mark Wahlberg, though even more useless than Sam, got an alien gun and did stuff, but the bad thing about them is is that the acting was not good, everyone in it gave a very phoned in board performance.

Since this is the fourth film, everything seemed very phoned in, even the CGI was crap, the CGI and little practical explosive effects, car crashes, it all looked like crap. Since there was a new cast, new team of Autobots, new villain, you would honestly expect Michael Bay and everyone to take this as sort of a chance to resurrect the franchise and basically reboot it, but no, it's just the same old Michael Bay crap that is only getting worse. This movie is definitely a failure.
