Not as awful as 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'. But otherwise it has little going for it. It's a case of no highs but also thankfully few low-lows (such as John Turturro and Sam's parents). Tucci, Grammer and Welliver were serviceable. The film's weakest point (apart from being abominably overlong!!) is the alledgedly amusing banter between Wahlberg and Reynor. Also, at least 'Revenge of the Fallen' had Lucas and Fox. Peltz is just a poor man's Tara Reid. A poorer man's Tara Reid, I mean.
11	Barthalen	35 _17th
Do you ever have that same thing? Where you go '...it's been a while since I was angry at a movie. I miss that!' and you put on something to fuel that glorious rage? I tried that here, but Transformers: Age of Epilepsy is more boring than anything else. Well, dumb too. So dumb. But it's mostly effective at pandering; to its simple target audience that gets exactly what it wants, its sponsors, its shareholders, its overseas markets. Like a 165 minute commercial, but even more soulless.

Pro: No Shia LaBeouf. Con: Everything else. You know what you're getting, a clusterf*ck of stupidity and explosions assaulting the senses.
7	QtheAlmighty	49 _9th
After failing to find my usual movie-watching pals at the theater, I was treated to this steaming pile of AIDS monkey excrement, smeared with half-used kernels of terrible comedy so rapid-fire in appearance that I felt like I was being attacked by an insecure comedian and so mispaced and hammy that I wanted to die and soon began to feel that Mark Wahlberg and others were sent to punish me for my sins. If it wasn't for Stanley Tucci, you'd likely never get to see this review. Waste of 10 bucks.
5	Tripwyre	18 _8th
It's hard to be mad at the movie for its flaws when I should be mad at myself for expecting otherwise. There have been four of these things now, and outside of a strong opening instalment, all have been just like... this. But this is more depressingly cynical and hollow than even Part II. Despite the name of our lead robot, there's no room for optimism here. The bright spot of this three-hour film is when Wahlberg points to a photo of himself "at high school graduation" that was taken yesterday.
5	Cinema_Asia	55 _19th
Contains so much product placement and shills for corporations that you just have to laugh when the actor practically looks at the camera and winks while drinking their tasty Chinese beverage or BUD LIGHT. It's a shameless shit fest like the other transformers movies but it has a few technically interesting scenes like the destruction of Hong Kong landmarks. This is essentially a cartoon with cartoon level violence.
5	Bunken	20 _9th
The Bayhem stupidity is taken to new levels, and 500 characters isnt in any way enough to describe it. But hey, at least Paramount cannot have payed a dime for the production with all the PP going on, and since its probably gonna be the highest grossing film of 2014, Bay, Spielberg and co. are the ones laughing all the way to the bank. I'd rather watch 'Revenge of the Fallen' again - 'nuff said.
4	frederic_g54	2 _6th
Keep on whining. Michael Bay drinks your tears for breakfast.
4	Giuseppe	42 _5th
Optimus Prime rides around Hong Kong on a giant mechanical dinosaur, while Michael Bay gives a full-on blowjob to the central Chinese government. Mindless action meets ruthless cynicism, resulting in a film that's even worse than the second one.
4	ludvigsen	20 _2nd
The movie equivalent of two boys smashing their robot toys into each other, while coming up with the story on the fly. Only I suspect the two boys would make a helluva lot more sense.
4	DougieD	20 _3rd
Nearly three hours of hulking metal creatures battling each other in cityscapes while humans shout at each other and spout off cheesy one-liners. The visual and audio effects are well done and some of the action sequences (Prime riding a robotic t-rex) offer a few cool moments. The story is paper-thin and really just there as an excuse to have robots fighting each other. It's so monotonous and unrelenting in its mission to provide constant action that I came away exhausted.
3	MJVmovieMan	35 _8th
It's actually not a movie I hate, but it is so bland and purposeless from beginning to its very long end. We have seen it all before done better. At this point, nothing new can be mined from 'Transformers,' no humor or drama or interesting story. It's all pathetically dumb and recycled metal on metal CGI carnage. I know that's what the intended audience want, but why? The first movie was fun, but the sequels have gotten progressively worse.
3	Superargo	67 _56th
Yes, this is phenomenally stupid, and yes, Bay directs it like a man who truly does not give a shit. But it throws so much haphazard insanity at us that I'd be lying if I said I wasn't entertained. The Autobots ride dinosaurs! Wahlberg and Welliver have an epic chase/fight through Hong Kong tenements! And so on! It's the fourth TRANSFORMERS movie and the first three were huge hits; it ain't like Bay's gonna change up his approach. Either roll with this, or don't.
3	Paxton	37 _7th
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but do you get off on this? Have you ever jerked off to the thought of beige apartment carpet? Because that's how generic this is.
2	cagedwisdom	0 _4th
In case anyone was confused and/or worried after the borderline acceptable Transformers 3 and the somewhat OK Pain & Gain, Michael Bay is here to set the record straight; He is indeed the worst filmmaker. The worst of the Transformers bunch, 3 hours of boredom and the most outrageous non-ironic product placement in any film to date. Do not watch this. With very few exceptions ("My face is my warrant!") you will have no fun.
2	Hkit	70 _5th
My favorite part of the movie was how Optimus Prime's view towards protecting the human race was a thinly veiled metaphor for what Bay thinks about his critics. Sorry I don't like your movies Michael Bay, maybe instead of taking something lots of people liked growing up as a kid and destroying everything they liked about it maybe come up with an original idea instead? I also liked how Wahlberg's character has always lived in Texas but makes no attempt to hide his super thick Boston accent
2	ChrisPalm	40 _2nd
The budget behind this heap of shite makes me think of all the people in this world starving. Shame on you!
2	BillyShears	75 _65th
Statutory Rape - The Movie. Loved the first hour, didn't care for the second hour, picked up a little in the third hour by the forth I was okay with it. This could've easily been Marky Mark the inventor saving the farm and I would've loved it.
2	TheRealJ-Ro	55 _21st
Despite its many, many flaws, parts of the movie are entertaining ENOUGH. Folks, it's the fourth movie; we all know this formula by now. My advice to you if you hated the character development, inter-relationships, writing, etc. is to stop watching Transformers movies for those things. There's too little fighting & Dinobots, too much human element, weak storytelling, average performances, everything you read is true. But rumors of this being the worst movie of the year are greatly exaggerated.
2	Stewball	50 _14th
It's like they were going for a 3 hour orgasm, but couldn't get it up after 2:45. Maybe if somebody explained to them what an orgasm was.....
2	Okkervil	2 _2nd
Sometimes you need to remind yourself of how bad things can be.
2	Gideon	1 _16th
Was Bay even on set while 'directing' this idiotic turd of spam? I contracted Ebola from this junk, it's quite impressive.
2	Nroo	45 _15th
Optimus "I'll Kill You" Prime continues his narrative as the sadistic demiurge and his quest to murder God. I wish these movies would have better comedy writing though, because that element is fucking dire.
2	hellboy76	43 _12th
Another insanely long Chevy commercial that has zero payoff emotionally. There are some interesting explosions, but other than that, skip it.
2	Bagger	30 _8th
Was it just me or did this movie feel like it had the most superflous fourth act/last half hour of any movie in living memory? It literally would have improved by leaps if it had decided to end after the rescue of Optimus Prime. I'm even willing to award a few points for the marginally (marginally!) improved action direction and the slightly-less-shit-than-usual dialogue, but that ending - while not as exhausting as the last - was a waste of time, dinosaur dragon robots notwithstanding.
2	RandallODim	64 _16th
It's Michael Bay's Prometheus, with Michael Bay's... uh... Michael Bay's something sandwiched in the middle.
2	Leonardis	48 _3rd
Just intimidating and hard to follow, especially when the action is happening. I thought the Lockdown character was really cool. As a fan of the lore, I always thought he was one of my favorite characters to see on screen. You know what else I liked about this movie? Basically nothing. The juvenile humor was removed so the writing is as obnoxious as the first three installments, but it is still a very silly movie. I also hated this interpretation of Optimus Prime. Skip this at all costs.
2	Cinemafan91	63 _32nd
This is probably the best film of the franchise despite plenty of flaws. The 3D is fantastic and is almost with putting up with some of the movie. Ultimately, the biggest problem with the movie is that it is too long and anything that does not include a transformer fighting scene is pretty much pointless. On the bright side the movie does feature Kelsey Grammer, which is great.
2	LookJabba...	2 _7th
Age of Extinction is just more of the same bullshit from Michael Bay. I hated the first two films, I skipped the third and somehow I gave this fourth installment a chance. I suppose Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia LaBeouf gave me a glimmer of optimism. But ultimately it's doesn't matter who's cast, whilst Michael Bay is at the helm, these films just won't and cannot change. Other than the introduction of Dinobots, there's nothing we haven't seen previous. And the run time is ridiculously overlong.
2	keanseenan	20 _0th
This is trash. It is a chocolate bar made by a company that also probably has shares in privatized prisons. It makes you sweat with guilt and ill feelings throughout. I can't even argue it's for kids, it's got swearing and one strangely graphic death( Bay hates TJ Miller?). Weirdly though, like trash food, it tries to scientifically pack as much flavour and dynamism into every shot. Most are low angle tracking shots, some lens flares and plenty of male gaze. Read a book instead.
1	djross	25 _7th
Like ARMAGEDDON, the only real theme seems to be the difficulty fathers have in accepting the independence of their daughters. But it is not really possible to give any kind of critique of the narrative, as it exists only as the flimsiest framework on which to hang an endless computer-generated spectacle of large-scale destruction. Nevertheless, this seems a slightly less inhuman and so slightly more watchable episode. Of course, had trouble following the action or knowing which robot was which.
1	CitizenX	70 _81st
thats the definition of a popcorn movie
1	Ytadel	2 _14th
Yeesh, even the other Transformers films (well, the first and third, anyway) look satisfying compared to this. Numbing, low-impact action. Jack Reynor deserves to be showered in Razzies. The movie-long running joke of Mark Wahlberg trying to guard his daughter's virginity is truly dire (and the Romeo and Juliet laws explanation scene somehow even more so). Even the usually-reliable CGI slips here, with the "transformium" effects looking a little too Roger Rabbit cartoon-over-live-action-y.
1	Aquilla	22 _2nd
constant dramatic music + michael bay being crazier than usual + a script that was probably written by a 3 year old = disaster of disasters. to sum up my feelings while I watch this I will quote a line from beautiful miss caroline bingley: I can't help thinking that at some point someone is going to produce a piglet and we'll all have to chase it.
1	martryn	30 _5th
Everything in this movie falls short. Contrived action sequences, really lame dialogue, completely ridiculous plot twists, and absolutely inane characters. I am not sure how they manage to pull so many decent actors together to make shit films like this. They never should have attempted this franchise, and now it is time to let it die and go forgotten.
1	Ofterdingen	38 _17th
The equal numbers are the worst.
1	Obdurate	60 _22nd
Probably the weakest of the bunch but it's really not a terrible movie. The bad part is the same thing the other movies suffered from, but I noticed it more this time: too much human. I know there should be a human story, and I'm cool with that, but we go for robots fighting and in such a long movie we see very little of it. I forget that some of the movie is dull when the big fights happen. The movie is wonky too, but it is still an entertaining ride.
1	TV+Film-Hub	13 _63rd
Did I enjoy watching it? Well yeah, it was like really bad sex. It's still sex! But like really bad sex it's embarrassing to everyone involved! Mark Wahlberg is a bad-add action hero; Albeit he spends about 120 minutes of this production hiding behind wreckage hoping the transformers will save his daughter. Worse the dialog the transformers were given would have best suited porno. "Oh, Optimums you're so big..." Embarrassing. So for you who watched it. Get a shot of penicillin and move on.
1	RealMacgyver	70 _54th
Bit long but FAR better than I expected. The lack of beef helps a lot, the action is much clearer than in previous efforts and there is more of it. The guys are fine, but the girl goes from being strong to a scream queen for no reason one reel in. Fine with more Tranformers movies if they stick to this level (or hopefully better)
1	begoniabol	18 _20th
This movie hurts more than getting papercuts in your eyes, your limbs being torn off, getting skinned alive, then burned alive, in that order. A movie shouldn't hurt you physically
1	Honest_Thief	3 _31st
Far too overlong, but Bay continues on with his quest to infuse his peculiar brand of masculinity on decades old fictional father figures
1	FrederikA	20 _4th
Your enjoyment of a Michael Bay movie depends on how much of his jizz, you're willing to swallow. After enduring this nearly three hour long misanthropical bukake, I found my personal breaking point.
1	roofs_runner	30 _6th
Do you know more careless, more lazy director than Bay?
1	DaWolfey	31 _47th
The (only) female character has absolutely nothing to do in the film and she contributes nothing. She is there for one reason only, a single line near the beginning of the film where someone offhandedly mentions how her ass looks in some tight jeans, which we get a good look at. Optimus rides a Dinobot for no other reason that it looks cool. Would you also be entranced by a shiny object hung on a string, typical audience member for this sort of film?
1	misterlizard	10 _12th
Remember back when the PSX launched and people rightly mocked some games for being little more than jobbing actors doing their thing in front of a bunch of poor greenscreen CGI? What Hollywood mocked back then has now become the acceptable face of modern cinema.
1	Noblet	25 _5th
Goddamnit Michael Bay, why can't you use your powers for good instead of evil.
1	TrixRabbi	64 _19th
Michael Bay has things to say about America.
1	xacviant	32 _6th
Michael Bay may have mellowed a bit with age; the editing and staging here is a bit less hyperactive than before, and there are some choice moments where one is reminded that Bay can, indeed, craft a good action scene. But then the story kicks in and it all goes to hell. The worst parts are the grotesque characters--an obnoxious protagonist, a fleeting but hard-to-shake gay stereotype, a supporting cast of ciphers--and the gross overlength, which after nearly three hours gives way to boredom.
1	jspidah	65 _53rd
Still not a good movie, but so much more coherent because the plot and visuals are a bit stripped down. Interesting villains, too. Racist, misogynistic, loud, and morally reprehensible as all Bay films are.
1	PluggedIN	50 _50th
Everything else, though, feels remarkably unaltered. As in: static, unable to bend or move, decrepit. That includes a contradiction-laden wisp of a script, a cavalcade of human deaths, a rat-a-tat-tat of foul words and enough bare teen skin to coax Victoria's Secret into spending some of its product-placement dollars on this flick.

"Come on guys take an interest in Transformers!"
1	shauny18	40 _20th
I read a review describing this film as 'explosion porn' and I would 100% agree! The little story there is in this film is covered with action set pieces and bombs exploding. The script is dreadful and far to long. This isnt made for a particular target demographic but for Michael Bays own ego! This guy doesnt have a clue what makes a good movie so this franchise needs some new direction otherwise I dont think even Optimus Prime can stop Transformers going into extinction!
1	Groovy_Souls	25 _9th
Yes we do use the "j-word", Marky-Mark! This movie is rubbish. The acting, the cast, the dialogue, everything! Even the CGI was lackluster compared to its predecessors. Thank god this was not Shia but this was still just as bad. Only 5 minutes of Dinobots? Your main selling point?? Not the weakest link; but damn close. Horrendous movie.
1	cronic	70 _49th
Again what the f*** you all expect, its not bays movie debut, its already the fourth transformers movie, everbody knows what to expect from it. If you didnt like the previous ones, dont watch it and hate on it. ffs Watched it in cinema in 3D, best effects. Wahlberg is a good addition, of course theres some cliche shit and the dialouges and the story are retarded, but thats exactly what to expect from bays movies, you watch this movies cause the great effects and action. so i had fun with it
