Just watched: Transformers: Age of Extinction.

It's all eye candy. But the characters and plot... THE ****ING PLOT!

I just... argh. Someone slap me. I'm so cheap. I love the animation and graphics. It was obvious MB was showing off his camera and directing skills as well as special effects. But the ****ing writing. What's worse, he can get away with it with! God, his just making fun of us now! The whole writing is a joke! The first one was way better.

Here's an example: The part where they interrogate them. Asking where Optimus is. Then when he does come out and they run away from the confusion. The bad guys CHASE the human characters while a helicopter chases Optimus. Didn't they want Optimus? Why the **** do they still need to go after the human characters then!?

(Also. The amount of America flags that was shown is ridiculous.)

Sigh. Still liked half of the movie I think...

Oh ho ho ho ho ho, if you think the writing in Age of Extinction is bad, just WAIT until you watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Seriously, there are so many cheesy, cringe-worthy one-liners present throughout the whole film. Heck, there are whole scenes that are cringe-worthy. And not to mention a ton of jokes that fall short...

At least the action scenes are good. I mean, Michael Bay and all.

I watched this long ***, god awful movie in theaters. There were so many moments where I was wondering when it would finally end, and it felt like an eternity until it did.

I will give Mark Wahlberg credit in that he wasn't bad in it, but pretty much everyone around him were just horrible. His daughter was dumb as hell and was only there to serve as the typical useless damsel in distress. Her boyfriend was even more annoying, and I was hoping to see Wahlberg's character shoot him. Neither character had any redeeming qualities, and the movie would have progressed just fine, probably even better, without them.

Another problem with the movie is that, even though it was a horribly long, they tried to cram way too much into it and ended up not putting enough focus on anything in it. They tried to do the whole evil corporation thing, they tried to do the whole Megatron thing, they tried to do the whole bounty hunter thing, and in the middle of it all, they randomly and conveniently found some old *** dinosaur Transformers to help them out. It's like they took scripts for four or five Transformers movies and decided to mash them all together into a cluster **** of stupid. And the worst part is that almost none of it was resolved. There's still a **** ton more to continue on just from how this movie ended. It's the same thing they did with the recent Spider-Man movie, though to give Transformers some credit, I wasn't expecting it to be a good movie like I did with the Amazing Spider-Man 2, which I was sadly disappointed with. That's what I get for getting my hopes up for a Spider-Man movie.

Granted, the Transformers series isn't exactly that well received by a lot of people, but at the very least, the first three could keep some interest with some of the action scenes and stuff, despite having Shia LeBeouf in the leading role, which definitely brought the series down some. But this movie couldn't even keep me interested with the action. The human characters, aside from Wahlberg, were horrible. Even most of the Autobots weren't very good. Optimus is always bad ***, and the one John Goodman played was pretty good, but the others in the group were forgettable, even Bumblebee, who was always pretty meh to me anyway.

In all, this movie sucks. Total waste of almost three hours of my life. I knew it wasn't going to be good going into it, but ********, did it surpass my expectations in a very bad way.

TL;DR: This movie ****ing sucks. Don't bother with it unless you like horrible characters, insanely long movies that, despite how long it is, try to jam way too much **** into it to the point where they can't even resolve anything, or are such a huge Transformers fan, you just have to see it. Hell, even if you are a Transformers fan, I still wouldn't recommend it. It sucks so bad.

As for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thing, I didn't watch it, and don't really feel the need to. I love the TMNT, but I feel like there are some things that shouldn't cross over into live action, and TMNT is definitely one of those things.

MB will now and forever be known for his good directing skills, and HORRIBLE writing. lol

Was thinking of watching the TMNT movie. And I'm actually fine with cheesy one liners and short jokes. As long as there aren't useless characters. And I'm fine with relatively "small" loop holes that you can barely notice. Not like "Nuke" holes this Transformers had...

There are useless characters. April O'Neil, despite being an original character from the comic, feels like she was just included literally to have Megan Fox in the film to attract views. Same goes for the guy that's there, that despite being a somewhat main character was so forgettable that I don't even recall his name being mentioned. Only the turtles feel like they have some purpose in the movie, along with Shredder of course. Not to mention the 'final' kill move on Shredder being INCREDIBLY cheesy and overdone. Not to spoil anything of course.
