Review of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) by Daniel W — 25 Mar 2016

My least favorite Transformers movie. I love the transformers movies, I grew up with them and it pains me to see this one and the rating I'm giving it.

Pros: The last 20 minutes are cool, that's all I got.

Cons: For starters, the characters are terrible, I don't know why the studio wanted to kick out Shia Lebouf, and that blonde chick from the third one, they weren't great, but they were waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better than the characters here. Mark Walberg as a father and inventor, that sounds awesome, but his daughter is annoying and her dialogue mostly is screaming "Dad, save me." Blah, blah, blah, I didn't care and neither will you, her boyfriend, oh. my. god. This dude is an a-hole, he's generic douche #32, one of his lines to Markey Mark is "I'm not here to save your daughter, you're here to save my girlfriend." Who says that?! Why would you say that?! Who do you think you are?! This guy is the guy fathers think there daughter is dating when they go out, and if my sister dated a guy like this, let me tell you, the police would have a lot of trouble finding the body. The transformers themselves are fine, that's all I can say, fine, the CGI isn't that good, and when they fight, it looks like one the old Microsoft loading screens, they pulled an Alien 3 and killed off the old autobots and the new ones you can wonder, where the heck did these guys come from, of all the Transformers Movies, this one in particular felt like a commercial.

I really hope Michael Bay does better in the next one, I know he has the power to do so, and I just hope he forgets about the human characters and just worries about the autobots, you can make them characters too, they have personalities also, I would love to have a movie that takes place before the first movie and is about the War of Cybertron, that would be awesome!
