Actors: Mark Wahlberg
as Cade Yeager, Stanley Tucci, Nicola Peltz, Kelsey Grammer, Jack Reynor
Rating: 8 out of
10 I guess there were so many unanswered
questions in the Transfomer saga they just had to make another. The one thing that stood out for me, outside
of the amazing CGI effects, was how damned long this thing was. Michael Bay has made so much money on this
series that he’s been given carte blanche which isn’t necessarily a good
thing. You get well over two hours of
non-stop pitched battles between huge robots and evil humans. Chicago gets worked over again and in what
has become routine in large action flicks, the battles move to China (can’t
short change that lucrative demographic) where Hong Kong gets pasted. You know things are completely out of hand
when ancient robotic dinosaurs join the fight.
There is no over the top for Mr. Bay.
Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci along with the obligatory hottie in
short shorts were nice additions to the cast which was completely
overhauled. There were however a tidal
wave of cringe worthy lines the actors are forced to utter which sent the
unintentional comedy level through the roof.
With all the money Bay gets to make these things you think he’d invest a
little bit in the writing. It was however a transformers movie where you don’t
go in expecting Shakespeare and you certainly get your money’s worth of death
and destruction.
MVP: Wahlberg as Cade
Yeager further cements his action credentials
