Critics Consensus

With the fourth installment in Michael Bay's blockbuster Transformers franchise, nothing is in disguise: Fans of loud, effects-driven action will find satisfaction, and all others need not apply.

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.

The few authentic inspirations to be found in the movie's hundred and sixty-five roiling minutes involve gigantic science-fiction contrivances.

It goes to show what a little focus and restraint (and I do emphasize “a little”) can do.

1/4

Bay’s garbled action, Kruger’s scattershot writing, dull humans, underdeveloped robots—these are the same issues that have plagued Transformers movies since the start.

This movies are just the best on CGI, soundtrack, designs and action. This one is so entertaining cause the movie can be long, but it brings you so many things to like about it. The only thing I would say is terrible is the Romeo and Juliet shit and the couple is just annoying the whole movie, but that’s my only complaint, the runtime is not a bad thing, this movies are just great at that. My 3rd best of the franchise!, underrated.

Transformers: Age of Extinction has plenty to like because Mark Wahlberg gives the series a different human anchor. Cade Yeager has a tougher, more blue-collar energy than Sam Witwicky, and Wahlberg brings enough physical confidence to fit the larger action around him. Lockdown is one of the better villains in the series. His bounty-hunter angle makes him feel distinct from the usual Decepticon threat, and he brings a colder, more focused danger to the story. The Dinobots are underused, but seeing them finally appear gives the movie a fun burst of fan-service spectacle. The action scale remains huge, and Michael Bay still knows how to stage massive destruction and robot combat. The problem is that the movie is overlong, crowded, and not especially strong on story or character. It has big moments, but it also feels exhausting.

6.2/10 Confession: With the exception of the infamous 'Romeo and Juliet Law' scene, the product placement and that it's 20 minutes too long, I thought this one was actually the best of the Bay TF sequels.

I like this movie. It’s my favorite from the franchise. It’s full of action and the human characters are pretty solid. I wasn’t a fan of the character Lucas because he was annoying, but that’s it. Not sure how I felt about Galvatron’s design, but that didn’t take away from the movie. Overall, a pretty good movie.
