there are very few things in the Transformers franchise that could be genuinely classed as "good," but Paramount definitely didn't care as long as Michael Bay's robots were in disguise as a billion dollar franchise.

With Age Of Extinction, they sought reinvention - bringing in Mark Wahlberg and the Dinobots to delight fans of preposterously popular actors and robo-dinos alike, and it worked. At least from a financial point of view anyway. The film is still terrible, though and singularly fails to bring the change Paramount sought. But then they didn't change the director, so what can you expect.

The film's only real gem is the ending (which takes a backside-aching 165 minutes to get to) when the Dinobots make their debut and the climactic battle gets kicked up to eleven. For all of Bay's faults, he knows how to do spectacle and the sight of robots riding robo-dinosaurs into battle against each other is everything even the most cynical Transformers fans should be looking for.
