THE NOT SO LENGTHY TRANSFORMERS 4 REVIEW

      The fourth installment of the Transformers movie franchise is BOMBASTIC. Director, Micheal Bay, brings us a new semi reboot of the Transformers. The new cast is includes, Mark Whalberg, Kelsey Grammer, Stanley Tucci, Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz. In addition to Optimus Prime and Bumblee we get some fresh new autobots that help save the day.

    I have always been a Micheal Bay and Transformers fan....................................until now. Bay has overstayed his welcome. The film starts off  slow in order to develop the new characters.  Honestly, I was a little impressed by the first hour of the movie. That feeling went away very quickly as the movie went on. The human characters were poorly written. Anyone could have played the characters and you still would have had the same quality of acting.

     Nicola Peltz was highly annoying.She plays the cliché female damsel in distress and boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does she play it.




   One of the positives where the  new autobots. You could feel their vibrant and distinguishable personalities as opposed  to the lifeless robots in the previous films. This one felt like the first movie in the sense that you knew what the robots names were. Each robot had a distinct characteristic and skill.

       The bad guys in the movie were both human and alien. My favorite part of the movie was the villain Lockdown. He moved with a purpose and had a presence. Lockdown was  given the best dialogue in the movie.  Meanwhile everyone else got really shitty lines that were just ughhhh.


. You can't watch a Bay film without some awkward comedy. There was definitely a lot of that here. Some of it worked while other parts just felt very forced to the point where I shook my head.

    The biggest  issue that I had with  the movie was the length. You could have easily made this movie into two different films. I love turning my brain off and just watching action , but there was no mercy here . The movie became tedious and repetitive. At times I didn't know what I was looking at.  The Dinobots were only at the very end of the movie. They barely did anything which is a shame.  Bay wasted these new characters.

   On a lighter note I will say that the last fight scene of the movie was pretty awesome. Seeing  Lockdown fight Optimus and Bumblebee made for a great threesome. Overall T4 is a blockbuster popcorn flick. It's not a terrible movie I just feel like it could have been better especially since its a new take on the Transformers. T4 was forgettable.  I cant  even say that I'm at all interested in Transformers 5 and 6. This franchise needs a new writer and director with a new vision.
