David Sims The Atlantic Since the film is a chilling two hours and 45 minutes long, that means one's mind quickly wanders, dancing across this film's many flaws, little and big. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker The few authentic inspirations to be found in the movie's hundred and sixty-five roiling minutes involve gigantic science-fiction contrivances. Jul 14, 2014 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times To those who say rape culture is a myth, we say "Behold, Transformers 4". Rated: 1/5 Jul 11, 2014 Full Review Alejandro Turdó EscribiendoCine Michael Bay seems eager to want to blow everything up. As if the introduction of the characters, the conflict, and the film itself were an excuse to film explosions and increasingly bigger robots.m [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Preferable to syphilis. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It goes to show what a little focus and restraint (and I do emphasize “a little”) can do.

Michelle'sMovieMoment Absolutely mind-blowing!!! HOW DID THEY DO ALL OF THAT?! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/22 Full Review Luca C The dinobots are cool, I guess.... otherwise bad Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review r96 s 'Transformers: Age of Extinction'... what the hell happened here?! I actually seriously enjoyed a movie from this franchise, I'm honestly flabbergasted. It's written, directed and produced by the same people, though I wouldn't have predicted that whilst watching. This, to me, felt almost entirely different to the preceding films in the series, despite the aforementioned. The opening 45-60 minutes are especially entertaining, it does wobble in that regard once or twice but when all is said and done I actually had a lot of fun with this! I was, for the first time, actually invested into not just the robots but also the human characters too. It's a new bunch on the latter side and, despite minimally liking Shia LaBeouf & friends, I found this lot to be a big upgrade - the change also made it feel fresh. Mark Wahlberg is great as lead, Stanley Tucci and T.J. Miller (for once) are pluses as well. Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor are the weakest members of those onscreen, though even then I was still marginally interested in them. Kelsey Grammer, despite playing a fairly standard antagonist, is good, as is Li Bingbing in a relatively smaller role. Peter Cullen, John Goodman and Ken Watanabe, meanwhile, impress with their voices. Upon starting this review, and still now, I was struggling to come up with negatives. I guess the near three-hour run time truly ought to be one, yet somehow it really... isn't, rather unexplainably. As for a criticism, the excessive product placement is all I've got, I'm afraid. I'm yet to see the reception that this got, as usual I'm hoping my thoughts are not an outlier in a sea of dissatisfaction. I'd guess it's rated as mid-ly as the prior installments, at worst. Not that any of this is all that important of course, because I enjoyed it and that's all that matters. I did not expect to be saying that, at all! checks reception: Welp. An outlier I seemingly am. Then again, 12k (on Letterboxd) others agree with my rating (and it incredibly again made a billion on the big screen, I see) so I guess it isn't as bad as it looks. Some uncertainty has crept into my mind, I'm thinking it over and comparing it with other films I've rated similarly and... it's not even in doubt. Wild. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Alfred Junior T I think this is the best of the film series with a good villain. It is worth the time and shows humanity's capabilities Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Not a huge fan of this one, I’ve seen all the movies before this one and the bumblebee movie but this just isn’t it. Not one of Micheal Bay’s best movies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Samuel W This is, undoubtedly, the worst Transformers movie of them all. If it weren’t for The Last Knight’s existence, this movie would be completely worthless. The characters are not likeable, the plot is an absolute mess, the things they marketed were barely in the movie, the Transformers we loved in the past are absolutely character-assassinated either literally or figuratively, and the villains are so messy that they do not even feel like a threat at all. With the least impressive and most nauseating visuals of the franchise, the worst writing in the series (which says something), and all the makings of a movie to destroy an established franchise, I can’t entertain the notion that I think this is a good movie even for Transformers. This movie is a travesty and destroys who Optimus Prime is and what the last three movies were even about. Kelsey Grammar and Stanley Tucci are obviously the highlights of the film. The music is also absolutely beautiful and very well-done. Without the music from Steve Jablonsky, this would be a far worse experience. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
