	Author	Review
United States	Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter	"Occasional glimpses of hope for a fresh reboot are extinguished by a generally bloated and dull spectacle."	NEU
Canada	Peter Howell Toronto Star	"It's long, it's loud and it's really stupid."	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Feels less like a movie than a product of the cinema-industrial complex."	NEG
United States	Maggie Lee Variety	"Michael Bay continues to evolve ways to make robotic shape-shifting look increasingly seamless and realistic in 3D (...) Hong Kong and China provides a colorful new battlefield."	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"You get the feeling the guy who wrote 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' used the entire script as a passive-aggressive running joke on his boss, director Michael Bay. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United Kingdom	James Marsh Screendaily	"For audiences seeking the same polished, vacuous grand scale spectacle that has become synonymous with both the series and its director, 'Transformers: Age Of Extinction' gives the series a new lease of life."	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"The fourth entry in the “Transformers” franchise is like a spoiled kid who insists on showing you every single toy he owns (...) the longer it goes on, the less interesting it becomes (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"Fourth film in toy-based series is an adolescent, headache-inducing mess. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"Deafening, deadening and about two hours too long, Extinction would mark the weakest installment yet of the 7-year-old Hasbro franchise — if the previous three movies were discernible from one another (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The story is scaffolding for the action, and like every other standing structure it is wrecked in a thunderous shower of metal, glass, masonry and earth"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"How could any summer blockbuster be as dull, dumb and soul-sucking as the first three Transformers movies? Step right up (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Bay has said that this film will kick off a second trilogy of Transformers movies - and I think he's serious. That means there will be (at least) two more of these things. God help us all"	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"'Transformers' has ambition and attitude in its pores, and spectacle to spare (...) The film wasn’t meant to make you think, but it does. For better or worse, it’s cinema (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
