Transformers is notable as a film series that gets worse and worse with each new installment. It's never been particularly good, but we don't think anyone could have imagined the depths it had sunk to by the time the fourth film came out, Transformers: Age of Extinction. No one's excited about these movies coming out anymore -- no one expects anything other than loud explosions, hot women, casual racism, and incoherent story lines. But despite this, Michael Bay insists upon keeping the franchise on life support, when he really should just show some mercy and pull the plug. Even the Prince Douche Shia LaBeouf didn't want anything to do with this sequel, being replaced by the always entertaining (sometimes even intentionally) Mark Wahlberg. Given these circumstances, it's hard to blame the movie critics who had a field day with this film. Christopher Orr of The Atlantic commented on both the over-bloated franchise and its inherent lack of quality, stating philosophically, "If it truly takes this long to save the world from the depredations of robots that turn into muscle cars, it may be that the world is no longer worth saving."
