Transformers: Age of Extinction

just got back from seeing this..

I liked it, even though its about 20 minutes too long, still its a very enjoyable film..

I didn't like Wahlberg in the beginning but as the film went on , he got better.

Kelsey Grammer is surprisingly good.

Film had good action and a good story

looking forward to the next one

the only thing i didn;t like

Spoiler:
Hugo Weaving wasn't the voice of Galvatron/Megatron

oh and why didn't Nicola Peltz use her water bending.. (hope someone gets it) 😛

Because they'd have to CG it. And the more CG you use, the more expensive it is.

Nuff said.

i also liked Wahlberg & co much better then Shia & his family shanigans.

Movie is shit.

Way too long way too many unnecesary scene.

Typical American crap I hated how half of the movie is written around Marky Mark acting like a dad and we get the whole "Get away from my little girl you mean boy" thing.

Plot was not that bad though I thought it was lame that now human

Spoiler:
Can create transformers via transformium

The transformation of these new robots looked like ass.The cgi effect of it looked like it was from 1990.

Grimlock vs Optimus sucked ass the fight was literally as long as it was shown in the trailer.

Marky Mark did better against

Spoiler:
Lockdown

Galvatron was meh.

The "hot chick's" face was ugly.

Dinobots had like 4 minutes screentime out of like 140 minutes.
"Dinobots cover the bridge."Even though literally nothing was trying to come through on it and the scene get's cut next time we see them the movie is over.

I don't hate Mark but his supposed "funny lines" were lame in the movie.

Some of the scenes were done so many times in other movies it felt like I was watching a mix of other movies.Like "Dad Im not climbing these ropes Im scared not going anywhere moving back to the ship". "Honey there is something behind you.You have to move and dont look back.""What is it dad?"

Scenes like that annoyed the shit out of me so much I was hiting my forehead with my fist.

It was bad.

6/10.

They got

Spoiler:
Frank Welker, the original voice of Megatron, which is much better in my opinion. But if they'd gotten Leonard Nemoy to do Galvatron, I would have lost it.

still should have been Weaving but Welker did a good job with his voice acting

I guess it's because I'm a G1 fan, but I felt it should have been Welker from the beginning. And I would have liked Chris Latta for Starscream, but I realize that the voice wouldn't have worked for this iteration. I wouldn't want somebody else to voice Agent Smith for example.

people should know what to expect from Micheal bay now, But of course people will complain about things.... 🙄

I'm complaining because people keep supporting this garbage when they could be making good transformers movie the way marvel does super heroes or Nolan does for Batman. Not only does this make so much money when it's crap, it gave the studios encouragement to make another trilogy using the same director and story telling. Bye the way, it cost them so much money because they over design the robots so then they say they don't have enough money to invest in more robot scenes so they have to fill it with humans. I hate this franchise because it's getting in the way of better things. That's why I complain. It's irritating when you see your beloved franchise turned to shit. X-men 3 and Wolverine Origins are other examples.

Critics are shitting on this movie

that really isn't a surprise, but people are seeing this film regardless of what critics think

Like 90% of moviegoers don't even read critic reviews. They see movies that they think they will enjoy, and Age of Extinction was definitely enjoyable for me. A few gripes that come with being a G1 fan.

Like

Spoiler:
changing Swoop's name to Strafe, changing Slag's name to Slug, and changing Sludge or Snarl(not sure which one they replaced) into "Scorn" and making him an Spinosaurus instead of a brontosaurus or stegosaurus. Also I wanted Grimlock to have at least one line. "We follow Optimus...for now." Or something like that. Simple stuff

Also, didn't realize John DiMaggio was the voice of Crosshairs

Spoiler:
the green one with the auto pistols and the parachute. And John Goodman was the voice of Hound, loved the new take on him.

I agree me personally I thought the other transformer movies were better. The movie started out slow. Couldn't really relate to any of the characters in the movie like shia in the last few movies. But by the end of the movie it got better.

A huge portion of this movie was shot in china so I suspect it will make a ton of money overseas and that's where the money is .............not here in the united states.

i agree..

my only other gripe is

Spoiler:
that the dinobots needed to be in this more instead of just the third act

Wolverine Origins was far from terrible

each to their own i suppose and all that sort of shit.

it is like i always say "I do not give a rats ass about what critics say"

this is just another example of how each one of us MUST, repeat MUST go see a film and JUDGE for ourselves. Every actor/actress/director will always have haters and Bay isn't immune to that.. The thing is Michael Bay will continue to laugh at ALL HATERS ..

Deadline is reporting this will make a shade under $100 million for the 3 days in the US, while Paramount is saying this will make $100 million or a little more.. Overseas this film is kicking ass..

Movie was ok. The transformation like pixie dust throwing of the human made robots was weird.

Mark wahlberg tried to hard in the daddy daughter scenes.

They. Need to some how cut down cgi so the movie isnt too high and too low between non and action parts

Im not, not in the theatres anyway, and its because of how horrendous this movie is being reviewed. I saw ever other TF movie in the theatres, and left more and more disappointed with each one. This time, with the ratings so abysmal, Im saving my money and waiting for DVD.

I haven't seen the movie yet.

But why is there Transformers with different ethnicities & a fat Transformer that smokes a metal cigar?

Mr. Bay WTF?

I can't believe I actually paid money to see this. I should've spent someone else's money.

With that said this movie did not disappoint... because I totally expected this movie to be shit. Along with this I find it funny how Bay promotes homoerotic robot situations and pedophilia in the same movie. The awful CGI and obvious green screen in the film is an interesting low for Bay as well.
