Transformers: Age Of Extinction - 10 Ways Michael Bay Stole Your Money

10. Quantity, Not Quality

It€™s apt that Bay, who produced the Texas Chainsaw and Hitcher reboots, should approach filmmaking like a fast food cook. Why bother preparing several different kinds of food when you can make the same thing over and over again? Just follow the formulas and serve up the same old junk food in supersize, the inference being that an excess of inferior product equals or is greater than a quality product. And, at 165 minutes, Transformers: Age Of Extinction is Junk Food Deluxe. Just like the previous helpings, Part 4 offers no real nourishment but remains mystifyingly popular with its adolescent fan base, its soulless uniformity presumably part of the appeal. And like the Happy Meal it basically is, it€™s part of a marketing tie-in to an existing toy line, but more on that later.
