Transformers: Age of Extinction - Movie Review 

'Where's your warrant?' "My face is my warrant"

That Wahlberg impression was great!

No character has ever annoyed me more than that boyfriend guy, even gives Jar-Jar the run for his money.

There is absolutely no problem with preferring artsy films over bloated blockbuster movies. Embrace that. Don't be embarrassed about it.

It's like the title knew what would happen to the series.

As someone who grew up adoring the Dinobots, this movie actually made me cry. I was so upset that I honest to god cried. Fuck you, Michael Bay!

Michael Bay should just start directing pornography.

The Transformers movies are pretty much gulity pleasures for me. I know they're not good but I enjoy them for all the mindless action.

Transformers: Good Revenge of fallen: Shit Dark of the moon: Better Age of Extinction: Stop making movies

It's now the highest grossing film of 2014. Fuck us.

Its disappointing that good movies like Edge of Tomorrow makes nothing in the box office and movies like these continue to becoming the high grossing movies ever....

Haha, my gf got sick of Marky Mark's daughter by the time of the tight-rope sequence and asked "Why don't they just let her fall off?"

Michael Bay is directing the Fifth Transformers movie. God please saves us.

FIINALLY!!! Someone says Edge Of Tomorrow was a good movie!

This is one of those movies where I forced myself to stick with it until the end of the film...and then promptly felt devastated, because I would never get that time back.

let's face it... us who enjoy a good solid story are a minority. The masses just want random action and chases and shit, the masses just want to eat popcorn and watch Michael Bay movies.

"Bumblebee!! OPTIMUS!!" It's so true lol!

"Michael Bay, if you decide not to be a director one day, you'd be a great 4th of July showman." Chris, you just summed him up in one sentence. My hat's off to you!!!

I feel like Bay is going to ruin Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also. Just by looking at the trailers it looks just like a Transformers movie but instead it has giant turtles running around. I think Bay is taking advantage of our nostalgia and exploiting it honestly.

Transformers: the allspark Transformers Revenge of the Fallen: the matrix Transformers Dark of the Moon: the pillars Transformers Age of the Extinction: the seed Transformers the last Jedi (I mean Knight): the staff of Merlin

How come Steven Spielberg is still an executive producer for all these shits ??

I remember Beast Wars....looking back on it? GOD THAT CGI sucks.....fun memories :)

Transformers: B- Revenge of the Fallen: F Dark of the Moon: B+ Age of Extinction: D-

TJ Miller's characters was so stupid and lame that you're happy when he dies a horrible death.

I don't understand why everybody blames Michael bay for the way the films are. You should blame ehren Kruger. He's written these films since rotf.

Now I need to watch "Epic Rap Battles" with Michael Bay again.

Winter Soldier and Edge of Tomorrow are excellent choices man! I actually wish more action films could be like that

Who the fuck keeps giving Michael Bay, the wachowskis, and M Night money to make their shitty horrible movies? I mean we know who but like WHYYYYY

Coming from the guy who gave Godzilla a good rating. Talk about shaky cam, dude Godzilla was pissing me off with there cameras because they couldn't keep still on Godzilla, So now you want to complain about shaky cam on transformers. From what I saw, the transformers looked pretty clear to me. Also the movie was action packed for 165 minutes, one thing it didn't have was boring back up stories and they actually focused a lot on the transformers which is something they lacked in the previous two.

My personal opinion... Transformers: B+ Transformers 2: F Transformers 3: C+ Transformers 4: D- Believe it or not I kind of like the third transformers, but it is a guilty pleasure for me and that's why I gave it that rating.

The action was great, the Transformers were awesome. Loved the Dino-Bots, and Mark Whalberg as the lead male character. The other characters were meh. 8/10

Transformers B Transformers 2 D+ Transformers 3 B- Transformers 4 D+

Transformers C Revenge Of the Fallen F Dark of the Moon C Age of Extinction D

Transformers: C- Revenge of the Fallen: F Dark of the Moon: D- Age of Extinction: F

And the other thing I'll say on this...regarding your Mark Walberg comment is - the darn movie should be about transformers and humans second, not the other way around. And now you got Walberg in this movie fighting Deceptions - ridiculous. U never develop a care in the world for any transformer because they never have character depth, instead it's the human characters that have arcs and to no avail.

I actually liked the movie...

I'm still a fan of 'Bad Boys', 'Armageddon' and 'The Rock' but that's pretty much it when it comes to Michael Bay films. He has no desire to create a great film, just get paid for doing half-hearted directing. Which brings me to my final question: Have we all come to the conclusion that TMNT is going to be a travesty? OK good.

Michael Bay probably payed Mark Wahlberg to say all that crap on how the movie is the best out of all of them and how it's going to be more than robots fighting. Damn you Michael Bay.

If Mark Wahlberg carries a movie, you know it definitely sucks.

Its funny how every time there is applause at the end of these movies. Audiences love those movies and critics hate it...seems like critics have forgotten how to have fun in cinemas...

I'm surprised that you didn't even cover the Chinese pandering in this movie.

Transformers: banana Revenge of the Fallen: lemon Dark of the Moon: chair Age of Extinction: carrot

Mark Wahlberg was the only reason I liked this movie at all. I love him as an actor.

Personally, I think this film was the best out of the series. Now before you hate on this comment, hear me out. Spoilers down below, read at your own risk. Now my personal opinion, I'd give this movie an 8/10. You all have your opinions and i'm fine by that, but i'll stick to my guts on this one. Would I watch again? Yes, yes I would. Best Movie of the year? by all means no, that place goes to CA: TWS and GOTG, however its a fun movie to watch for the sheer fun of doing so. Its a popcorn flick, what do you expect? 1) I actually liked the humans. Tucci and Wahlberg did a fantastic job as lead characters, and for a while i thought Tucci was just gonna be another Simmons, glad i was wrong. (except for Kelsey Grammer's character, Though he did a fantastic job making me hate him, I so wanted him dead after his men started hunting Ratchet and brutally executed him.) 2) When Lockdown came to retrieve Optimus on the freeway, I literately got goosebumps, plus the music was fucking amazing along with it, made the scene feel completely hopeless. 3) The fights actually felt like they were fights, instead of just being everywhere. Not to mention the Chicago building Assault and the Hong Kong fights were well depicted. 4) The final fight with Lockdown was freaken beast, it took Bumblebee, Optimus, and Cade (Mark) to even have a chance at winning, and he was still beating the crap out of all 3 of them. Not to mention that music played during the fight! And I wouldn't say Optimus was winning at the beginning, Lockdown was quite fast, dodging and jumping from side to side, and still wasn't very injured even after Optimus' attacks hit him. Talk about being a badass. 5) Frank Welker as Galvatron (Megatron reborn) was very nice indeed, I never expected Megatron to be alive after the Chicago massacre, but not only that but he played the humans into making him a new body was just pure genius. 6) I loved the Autobot characters! Hound and Drift being my favorite. Also them having their own personalities was very fitting, made the movie way better. The heartfelt moments between Cade and Optimus really felt like they were real, and really setup the relationship for the endgame with Lockdown. 7) Lockdown. His speeches were so well done i almost forgot he was a Michael Bay character. When he brutally murdered that human without any hesitation (won't spoil who) i felt sick in the stomach. 8) Dinobots. Just them kicking ass for like 20 minutes on the bigscreen is enough to make this TF fan LOVE em. All in all, this movie is just as good as the first, if not better. However there are still negatives, like the forced love story between Irish guy(Think his name was Sam?) and Tessa, no footage of the other Autobots getting REKT by the soldiers. The slow motion scenes weren't as annoying, but there was still loads of them in pointless scenes.

I always walk into these Transformers movies with all this hope, and every time that hope gets shattered. Damn you Michael Bay.

20 bucks TMNT is going to be pure shit as well.

When they have a clip showing Nicola's ass up close. That's when I started to fear for the movie. I'm 24 years old Bay, I'm not a pedophile. And I don't care if this movie is PG-13, there are still kids watching because this movie is base on the children's toyline. Thanks for the review Chris. I thought after Pacific Rim and Edge of Tomorrow. Shit like this is no excuse. You can make a fun action packed popcorn film and still have a cohesive story and interesting characters. Michael Bay, along with the rest of America need to watch these movies and learn from them.

My favourite thing about this movie is the dialogue between Mark and his daughter in the end when, after 4 hours of explosions, she says that they cannot get back home. Cause it blew up.

The ONLY movie in years I can remember that Michael Bay did......decent, was Pain & Gain. It atleast had a story, kept it intriguing, and had humour but also showed consequences of actions / mistakes. I was honestly surprised and would prob ONLY give it a high rating (C+ which is awesome for a Bay film), is because I compare it to his other shit..i mean films.

This gave me a migraine. I don't suffer from migraines. And this was in 3D too.

I love explosions. I love humor. I love gorgeous women. I love special effects. Thus I love this movie.

you had applause at your movie? i watched it on an afternoon, the second day it was out and there was only 10-20 people in the theater, when it could seat over 100. it was a sign. did not like the movie at all, and i had all the same problems with the movie just like you. stupid dialogue, shitty special affects compared to the other movies, hollow characters and a plot that went it every direction. one other thing that pissed me off was the blatant product placement in it. seriously, there was a milk ad, a water ad and a fucking budweiser freak out, gotta-drink-and-spit-beer everywhere commercial. i hated it. and the poor dinobots were treated like bullshit in the movie. they're not fucking pets, they're fucking warriors just like the autobots. ngh. AND optimus prime's character was completely fucked in this movie. he's supposed to be level-headed and chill but in this he's screaming murder every time he's fighting. did not fucking like.

I bet my wife at the casino against Michael Bay and won

The 1'st movie was actually a really good action movie. The second one was bad. The only thing I liked about the second one was Devastator and the ending. The third one was actually not too bad. The fourth was just as bad, if not even worse than the second one. Sure, it has really cool special effects, but there were way too many questions (like WTF happened to Sam and if Bumblebee loved Sam why did he make no mention of him whatsoever?). No story, and bland and one dimensional characters.

I'm no michael bay hater. Is he a flawed director? Yes. Does he deserve to be a celebrated director? No not really. I just think he has a set of skills that when he is ON he delivers fun entertainment like THE ROCK but when he's OFF he churns out shit like PEARL HARBOR.

The only thing I like about this movie is its soundtrack.

If you think about, Transformers 4 is the transformers movie everyone has been asking for. There had been so many complaints about these movies, ever since the 2nd movie. People wanted the transformers to have complete redesigns ever since the first movie because people complained that they didn't look robotic enough. So Michael Bay actually redesigned all of the characters. People kept wishing for Galvatron to be in these movies. You know what Michael Bay did? He put Galvatron in this movie!!! People wanted Shia LaBeouf to FINALLY be out of these movies. And you know what? Michael Bay got a whole new cast of humans!!! People wanted the movies to focus mostly on the transformers. And this movie focuses WAY MORE on the transformers than the humans. Not only that, people wanted the transformers to ACTUALLY have personalities. And Michael Bay gave them personalities!!! Michael Bay even went out of his way to add the dinobots. THE DINOBOTS. He didn't have to add them. But he decided to. He could've chosen metroplex for all we know. But no! He added the dinobots. So people... PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING!!! This is the movie you've been asking for, this is what you got. A transformers movie that dominates the other 3. And since when was there a rule saying that Michael Bay had to make it JUST like the G1 series, when there was soo many autobots and decepticons, that I couldn't even keep track of who was who. So please. Stop complaining when this was the movie you've been asking, for since 2009.

Awesome review Chris. This movie blew so much ass. Another shitty Transformers birthday gift. D- Ninja Turtles will be the same dumb ass movie.

Transformers:B+ Revange of the Fallen:C- Dark of the Moon:C+ Age of Extintion:D

The first and third movies were the only ones I really enjoyed, I was a bit annoyed at age of extinction because the story literally made no fucking sense, like it didn't even fucking tie in with the other 3 movies, what the fuck happened to all the people that actually worked with the transformers in the first 3 movies, at least they had some characters that you actually liked, the only character I liked was Mark Everyone else just pretty much fucking dragged the movie down, the transformers were also pretty forgettable because they keep fucking killing your favorite more well known ones, like ratchet, ironhide, etc. it's honestly pretty annoying, I enjoyed 3 because I found it entertaining, and I just liked the whole alien invasion scenario of it, and how it had things that tied in with history, the first transformers I actually really enjoyed, it was cool, and I hadn't seen many movies like it

My face is my warrant!

It irks me knowing that this movie will make a shit tillion, while edge of tomorrow an amazing sci fi movie still hasnt even hit 100 million at the box office. (granted the marketing was terrible)

Knowing that this movie made over 1 billion dollars pisses me off and says a lot about how people will go see crap like this

I kinda liked Transformers 4. At first at least. Somtimes i just like watching completly mindless movies. :D But then after what i thougt was the climax of the movie, it kept going, and going, and going... for almost another hour and a half. It was really exhausting :( I think it might have been a slightly better movie, if it had ended an hour earlier.

That Mark Walberg impression was spot on XD

Chris, I had to subscribe. Thanks for the honesty, and yes, I know this is your opinion/critique, but it is one that I share almost with a passion. I think Bay can't work with fictional characters. He treats them as things and not as beings...not to mention the plot, and the script in this movie OMG :( Mark, did he contribute to this movie? Well, he tried, but there is something I am not clear about. [SPOLIERS] When Mark's partner dies in the movie he seems not too bothered about it. Was that bad acting, or did he not care about his partner getting fried? I don't think any actor could have saved this movie, IMHO.

i will never see another Transformers movie again. I got dragged to this shit film, hated...every..second. Horrible editing, poor acting, SO MUCH GOD DAMN PRODUCT PLACEMENT.

Transformers B - Revenge of the Fallen F Dark of the Moon B+ Age of Extinction D -

the lead actress in this movie.. HOLY FUCKIN SHIT YOU'VE GOTTA BE SHITTIN ME 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I enjoyed the film a lot. I went in knowing pretty much what to expect, and I got it. It was entertaining throughout. I found the story to be quite interesting, with the developments of humans turning all mostly all Transformers into outlaws, and acquiring the technology for humans to make their own Transformers. The cinematography, fight choreography, and special effects were so detailed and realistic. I never feel cheated when I watch a Michael Bay movie. He delivers, and then some!

This is my second favorite transformers movie

Literally THE WORST movie I have EVER seen

There was loads wrong with this movie. I actually couldn't stand wahlberg in this or any of the other humans. Wanted them killed off along with all the autobots.

The transformers movies in a nutshell: Giant robots epically fighting each other, hot girls in shorts, and of course, a seemingly endless chain of explosions

a D+ is being way too kind to this movie, it was utterly AWE FULL!

I liked Shia in the first movie. In the second one he was Meh. I couldn't stand him in the third one. Always screaming and demanding crap from everyone.

I just saw it. I recognize that it has problems, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I have not seen the previous three films so I didn't know what to expect but I actually liked it. My two favorite movies of the year are Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow and this was not nearly as good as them, but as a somewhat mindless action movie, it was pretty good. My favorite part of the movie was Stanley Tucci. He was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing at one line he said.

Oh my god. Someone other than me actually remembers Beast Wars!!

TMNT is going to suck so bad.

Looks like u got 323 12yr old boys disliking this.

I prepared myself to watch a lengthy movie with amazing CGI and lots of explosions, Michael Bay delivered well...

james cameron for transformers

I really liked this movie. Its still a bad movie, but its a good bad movie imo.

Person asking questions: have you ever had an aneurysm before? Me answering: no but I watched Transformers 4

This is why I fear for TMNT movie cause of shakey cam.

If I put the Film's in order 1-1986 Film 2-Dark of The Moon 3-Age of Extinction 4-Transformers 5-Revenge of The Fallen This is my opinion, so don't throw a hissy-fit if you disagree

My rating. Transformers A- Transformers 2 D Transformers 3 B Transformers 4 C-

Transformers: B- RotF: FFF DoTM: C+ AoE: B- Yeah I liked thelast one. Fite me

I really dislike Michael Bay, not just as a director but as a person too. No integrity at all.

Having said that… Make sure everyone continues to put Chris’s name or your other favourite RU-vidrs’ names in those boxes when you get those free trials. It definitely helps them if you do that.

Chris, you're impressions are too on point lol "Optimus, you gotta take an interest in science" LMFAO Chris Stuckmann

I swear when you said people applauded for the movie, that's when I lost hope for humanity.

my ranking 5. The Last Knight 4. Revenge Of The Fallen 3. Age Of Extinction 2. 2007 (Original) 1. Dark Of The Moon

Can you please explain why the government dialogue is cheesy, stupid, and boring? As I think there was a lot of it in The Winter Solder which I hear no complaints about in general. Can you also give an example of the Michael Bay humor that you do not enjoy, as it can be a hit or miss for many audience members? Why is the TJ Miller character awful and stupid, what makes his dialogue so annoying? One reason I think that Michael Bay does not pay attention to criticism is because he is an auteur for the masses and has control over most if not all aspect of his films. I am not trying to defend this film and I have no intentions to watch it, but I believe that this review should go into giving more examples as to why you did not enjoy it to back up some of your statements. On the plus side Hulu Plus has over 800 movies that are part of the Criterion Collection, which a vast majority of the catalogue consists of world renowned films and I implore everyone watching this review to take advantage of the two week free trial to learn more about film. I would love to see Stuckmann take on a review of a film from this catalogue as part of the Hulu Plus Promotion. By the way that Mark Walberg impersonation is pretty bad.

I love all the Transformer films, they are just pure fun.

The Transformers: The Movie A- Transformers: C+ Revenge of the Fallen: E Dark of the Moon: F Age of Extinction: F

Just wait to see how he bastardises TMNT. Disgraceful.

I actually really like this one and Mark Wahlberg gave a good performance he's one of my favorite actors

This was the first film where I walked out of the cinema and thought "wow, that was a REALLY crap film"

YOU FORGOT ALL OF THE PRODUCT PLACEMENT!!!!!
