Transformers 4 is a wacky movie that shows that even mediocre franchises can get worse. I defended Dark of the Moon, but I can't defend this. And this isn't even the worst movie in the franchise.

You've got 3 more of these to do. This was the half way point.
-
The wildest thing is, at the time the movie was released, the actress was 19 years old, and even when they were filming, she was 18. They could’ve just said “Yeah, she’s 18, and she’s dating this guy she met recently and there’s a three year age gap so her dad’s a little weirded out, but it’s all fine.” Instead, they aged her character down JUST to have it be questionably legal and unquestionably creepy.
-
The US government not having a single clue what the CIA was doing is the most accurate part of this franchise.
-
Fun fact about Lucas’s death: Bay ended up making his death in a gruesome style/killing him off early was because he was such a pain in the ass to work with during production. In short: it was done out of pettiness.
-
19:21, not gonna lie, when Turturro's character says "do svidaniya" so confidently just to be told "that means goodbye" and have the door slammed in his face is actually fucking hilarious and is mostly a testament to Turturro's making chicken salad out of chicken shit
-
There will never be a film critique more absolutely soul-crushing than, "I saw this film on the first date I had with my wife. I fell asleep halfway through."
-
The fact that you took the woman that became your wife to this movie as your first date, fell asleep halfway through, and she still decided to go on another date with you and then marry you is an inspiration for all.
-
"two racists banding together for the sake of racism" had me rolling. I love the whole "I hate propaganda unless its american propaganda" joke.
-
Simmons saying "do svidanya" completely serious and straightfaced only to be told "that means goodbye" and have the door slammed in his face is legitimately hilarious.
-
Michael Bay managed to make a 2h and 45m movie that feels like its 4 hours long, and still doesn't have enough time to explain the plot. Incredible.
-
That moment where the guy literally flicks out the Romeo and Juliet law card with a practiced move like Palpatine lightning quickdrawing his lightsaber at the start of that duel in revenge of the sith is one of the moments in all of cinema
-
It's not just the whole Romeo-Juliet law that's an issue...it's also the way they filmed this 17 year old girl in provocative ways, made the boyfriend a coward and a scumbag, but still tried to romanticize them and give the BF moments of redemption. What was Michel Bay's intended message here?
-
How was that guy pulling out that card, let alone carrying it around in his wallet, not a major red flag to everyone involved? When I first saw this movie I wondered how many other relationships he had with minors that would bring up that situation enough to carry around a card to protect himself. How would that girl not see him as a predator? WHY was this scene even in the movie!?!
-
"two racists banding together for the sake of racism" had me rolling
-
As a Texan who saw this film in a public theater, when that card was whipped out nearly everyone in the entire theater was looking around thinking “When the fuck did this happen?” 😂
-
“I don’t want Chinese propaganda, I want American propaganda” at least you’re honest.
-
To be fair, having your comedic relief die unexpectedly, too early, and in bombastic a fashion as possible is pretty hilarious use of the role
-
For all it’s flaws, “I thought it would be a giant car” gets me every time.
-
The fact Cody got married to the girl he brought to this film when it came out and fell asleep halfway through is proof we could all make it someday.
-
The daughter and boyfriend ruined this movie for me more then anything else. I was also 17 when I first watched this in theaters with my dad, we both knew immediately that this was fucked up. Also she annoyed the ever living shit outta me.😤
