Critics hate Michael Bay’s latest Transformers movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction
There are probably a ton of people who love Michael Bay‘s work. He does his own camera work, he has a good eye for casting actors in his movies, and he creates amazing action scenes.
That being said, the first three “Transformer” movies were big Hollywood and Blockbuster hits. Now, the latest Transformers movies is receiving some of the worst ratings out of all of Michael Bay‘s movies.
Currently on Rotten Tomatoes critics are giving it a 10% rating. Making it a real possibility that this will be Michael Bay‘s worst reviewed movie ever.
Here are a few ratings from some of the top critics:
James Beradinelli says the movie is an “excruciating a movie as is likely to be experienced by anyone, anywhere.”
This is as excruciating a movie as is likely to be experienced by anyone, anywhere. It isn’t merely that the story is insulting, the characters are bland, the action is dull, and the CGI is everywhere – it’s that all this goes on for nearly three hours. That’s three hours of your life you’ll never get back.
Scott Bowles from USA Today said, “The Transformers are brilliant, brave, world-conquering space travelers. Time to morph into something entertaining.”
Deafening, deadening and about two hours too long, Extinction, would mark the weakest installment yet of the 7-year-old Hasbro franchise — if the previous three movies were discernible from one another.
David Hiltbrand from the Philadelphia Inquirer says “Go if you must, but bring earplugs.”
Actually, director Michael Bay’s fourth heavy-metal installment is sensory overload in every sense. Noise, action, rubble. Which wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t so punishingly long – 2 hours and 45 minutes of furious pandemonium. You leave the cineplex feeling bludgeoned.
At the end of the day, most movie critics have extremely high expectations. But, at the end of the day Michael Bay‘s ‘Transformer‘ movie will still make between $100 to 120 million dollars this weekend.
