So looks like the Nostalgia Critic doesn't like the movie..
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/43885-nostalgia-critic-talks-transformers-4

He even brings up Michael Bays teleprompter incident(which I still think people were being too hard on him about. He's only human like the rest of us)

Meanwhile, here's what Doug (as himself) really thought about the movie - http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/43894-doug-reviews-transformers-4

And the Nostalgia Chick (along with the Black Nerd), who is much more positive with the movie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrriH5YbLF8

I haven't had chance yet to check out Dougs real opinion of the movie and I didn't know that the Nostalgia Chick had done a review. I'll have to check it out. Though the initial review caused a argument with a friend of mine who took th e review as the gospel truth. He is convinced that this movie will ruin all movies >:oP

Tell your freind go see meet the Spartans parodys are bad for movies

[Noideaforaname]

How these movies even make this kind of money I'll never know.


... not that I'm really complaining. *happily plays with toys that probably wouldn't exist without Bay's films*

[Nemesis Maximo]

All yall hould see the film. It's really cool. I mean, it's no Inception, but it doesn't have Hayden Christiansen in it, so that's a plus.

[Rated X]

Im still holding out. I dont go to movie theaters full of noisy kids...ugh.

Now might be a good time to go see it. When I saw it for the second time yesterday, there were only seven people in the theater room, counting myself. All adults.

Not watching this movie, after getting burned with DOTM, I don't want to give Michael bay anymore of my money so he can continue to ruin TFs with his explosions, lack of characterisation and unoriginal plots.

[mooseastig]

Saw the movie on Imax 3d and it was Pure Awesomeness..!

I can assure you that this movie at least remedied the one in bold.

Agreed. That's why I honestly think this one's better than any of the first trilogy. We actually understand who the three new Autobots are within 5 minutes of their first appearance.

Now granted, Bay's unwillingness to give Decepticons any characterization in favor of making them generic, shrieking monsters was always my biggest problem with these films, but AofE interestingly dodges that issue by technically not having any actual Decepticons in this one, and sidestepping a problem still counts as a temporary fix.

Add in non-military humans playing a credible role in the plot, and this ends up being the first Bay movie I'll actually see in the theater multiple times...granted, I racked up a LOT of those TRU passes last week because I'd held off on buying any toys until there was a sale, so I won't really be adding to the U.S. box office, but it is genuinely worth seeing on a big screen in 3-D.

[Megatron Wolf]

it has no competition so its going to make money fast, now if a marvel movie was out at the same time i guarantee the profits would be a lot lower. I personally will not be buying a ticket, watched a bootleg & its not worth seeing on the big screen. Its unnecessarily long & there are to may plot lines going on & not a single one ever gets fleshed out. The bluray i might get though its not a bad action movie & its the best out of the 4, plus being able to pause & fast forward is a godsend.

The first time I went I was with my family (no noisy kids) and we went on the opening Sunday, the theater was almost empty, because it was the first showing I guess.

That's why I make it a point to wait for a week after the movie's release, then go to a matinee instead of waiting until later in the day. Very few people in the seats, no noise during the movie, and I can sit anywhere I want.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens next week, that will bit into it.
(I expect it to be a much better movie than AoE)

Oh and I thought of something ... what is up with the name anyway? "Age of Extinction" ... it's only mentioned once, were we suppose to believe that the seed would wipe out the whole planet because I never really got that impression.

The Seed by itself wouldn't, but what Galvatron wanted to do with it would have. Brains and Optimus said so in the exposition scene at the train yard. Megatron was gonna set off the Seed in a very large city, killing a few hundred thousand people and thus giving him an obscene amount of raw Transformium to create an army of minions which he then would command to wipe out the rest of humanity. To quote Brains, "You greedy bastards brought your own extinction on yourselves."

I loved it although it didn't have much of the other dino bots, still loved it!☺️9/10

It's funny how I see a lot of folks have questions about the plot yet I walked out knowing everything. I guess some folks can't take in the plot of this movie? The seed would cause extinction as Galvatron was planning on using it so he can create a massive army that would pretty much wipe out civilization. And China is a pretty big place to start.

I got the plot of the movie, but I think as a sub-title "Age of Extinction" just doesn't work. To me it was more about Prime and the Autobots against Lockdown and the humans. The seed was just a thing on the side, much like Galvatron.

Frankly, despite their short on screen time, it would have made more sense to call it "Rise of the Dinobots".

If we're going to get Transformers Prime on it, then it should be "Knights of Cybertron" Because they had as much to do with it as Predacons did in TF:P

Thought of that, but figured that might be more suitable for one of the next two movies.

Watching several of the trailers, there were quite a few things depicted in those trailers that weren't in the final cut of the movie, such as Optimus' line of "This is not war... it's human extinction." I'm thinking there were some rewrites going on that changed a number of things that might have let the title make more sense in an earlier production stage.

And there was the bit with Lockdown talking about how the Creators were very displeased by the interactions between multiple species, namely the Transformers and the humans having come in contact with each other. I get the feeling that an earlier draft might have involved the Creators not only wanting Lockdown to bring them Optimus, but also to wanting wipe out the humans just because they and the Transformers have been in the same room as each other all this time. Species discrimination and all that.

Here we go, THIS is a better review from the guy.

[Sabrblade]

And both of those reviews (from the Critic and from Doug as himself) were already posted before.
