“Transformers: Age of Extinction” is by far the best movie in the Transformers franchise.Stereotypically sequels, and sequels to sequels, are supposed to royally suck; it also seems the further they take a movie (i.e. part 2,3,4…10) the less likely I am inclined to watch it. However, I have been happily proven wrong quite a few times in recent history, just as I was in the newest Transformer flick.
Mark Wahlberg is no Shia LaBeouf, and that ladies and gentlemen is a good thing. Marky Mark is not the strongest actor out there, but the character Cade Yeager, could have literally been the real-life Texan version of Mr. Wahlberg…the script was written for the man.
“Transformers: Age of Extinction” does answer one very important age-old question…what killed the dinosaurs? All this time, the human race has been debating over comets and ice ages, when in reality it was something else altogether. I have faith in humanity, but you just know that this movie is going to influence some people to think “well just maybe”, and some teacher is going to have to slap a parent for letting their kid come to school with a dumb-ass answer to an age-old question.
A bigger question though is, what would it take for Autobot leader Optimus Prime to murder a human?
Every Transformer nerd should be excited about Transformers 4’s inclusion of the Dinobots, even if they are never outright named. The very disappointing and heart-breaking part of the Dinobots onscreen time is that Grimlock, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and leader of the Dinobots, never speaks. Who doesn’t love Grimlock’s “Incredible Hulk” like caveman type speech? Their slow wit and dinosaur sized brains (even though the movie sort of shows that…a little bit) is partially what makes the Dinobots so great in the first place.
The hero of the movie has to be the Autobot Hound, who is voiced by John Goodman. Hound is a great character, but add that with John Goodman’s iconic voice and you have a winner.
Plus who knew that Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) could pull off the tough guy routine?
“Transformers: Age of Extinction” is the best film in the series, and I really enjoyed it. I give this movie two dino-sized thumbs up, and recommend seeing this in theaters.
