I find myself watching the Transformers movies because my wife likes these mindless action flicks. I found "Transformers: Age of Extinction" to be far more bearable than any of the other films in this series and certainly more bearable than the "G.I. Joe" franchise and the last two "Iron Men" movies. First the good news: 1) The action sequences are actually coherent in this one. 2) No Shia LaBoef. Now, the bad news: 1) Insufferably long 2) The climactic fight sequences are a letdown, given the trans-formative capabilities of the new "autobots". 3) No Megan Fox 4) No Rose Huntington-Whitely, either. Definitely, the quotient of female eye-candy has dropped dramatically. The highly touted Bingbing Li is so heavily made up, she looks less real than the worst CGI and her personality is even less realistic. Amazingly, Bingbing purportedly garnered 20 endorsement contracts from this. Oh well, everyone has a right to his own tastes. Fortunately, John Goodman graces us with his great humor and booming voice, making the seemingly endless action sequences a lot more bearable; and Michael Bay keeps the camera moving enough to keep the convoluted storyline from feeling it is unfolding at a snail's pace; which, unfortunately, it is. I give "Transformers: Age of Extinction" a "6".
