8/10
Not as bad as people say
29 June 2014
I want to start this review by saying that I liked this movie as well as the other Transnformers movies which of course means that this review will be universally hated by all who see it. I will really never understand all of the hate for these movie. The internet will tell you that these movies are universally hated but a billion dollar franchise does not add up to universal hate no matter how much the haters would like you to believe that it does. I'm not saying that these movies are great but they are not as bad as people say. Now that that little rant is out of the way I'll move onto the movie itself.

Transformers Age of Extinction's plot revolves around Mark Wahlberg his daughter and her boyfriend trying to clear there names after corrupt CIA agents basically ruin their lives. At the same time the autobots reluctantly decide to help the humans once again despite the fact that the humans have been hunting and killing them. So there is a lot going on in this movie and for the most part I enjoyed watching it play out. Mark Wahlberg is SO MUCH better than Shia LaBeouf and Stanley Tucci is much better than John Turturro but I hate how Micheal Bay tried to make the 2 actors the exact same character. Luckily Stanley Tucci is so awesome overall as an actor he manages to do really well with his roll. Seeing as how it's a Transformers movie the action was of course a lot of fun to look at the dialog was cheesy and some characters were pretty useless but it is still overall a fun and entertaining movie. There are a few moments throughout the movie where the special effects were less than great but it was the same with all three of the other movies so for me those few moments are not that big of a deal.

If IMDb would let me I would give Transformers Age of Extinction a 7.5/10
