re: Transformers: Age of Extinction Discussion Thread (***SPOILERS***)

quote:

---

By now, anybody about to sit through a Michael Bay film knows what to expect: Lots of high-impact explosions, plenty of urban destruction, and an endless supply of bad, bloated dialogue. But the 165 mind-pummeling minutes of Transformers: Age of Extinction represents a new high in low-brow one-liners, with nearly all the characters — human or otherwise – speaking as though they learned how to talk by watching WWE matches.

But don’t take our word for it: Below are some of the clunkiest, corniest, most appropriately robotic lines from Age of Extinction, all taken straight from the screen. Normally, we’d preface this with a spoiler warning — but it’s hard to ruin a movie that barely has a plot in the first place.

"I’m literally going to kill you." – Cade Yaeger (Mark Wahlberg)

"That’s a bad idea — but I’m all about bad ideas." – Hound (John Goodman)

"What kind of cars are those? They’re so scary!" – Lucas Flannery (T.J. Miller)

"I’m Galvatron!" – Galvatron (Frank Welker)

"This one’s for you, A-hole!" – Crosshairs (John DiMaggio)

"Take out your guns and shoot them!" – James Savoy (Titus Welliver)

"There’s a missile in the living room!" – Tessa Yeager (Nicola Peltz)

"When I find out who’s behind this, he’s going to die." – Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen)

"My face is my warrant." – James Savoy

"Take that, bitch! You’re dead!" – Hound

"Human freedom is at stake." – Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer)

"We’re retrieving the seed — then we’re done defending the humans." – Optimus Prime

"Prime’s taken my trophy case, and he will feel my wrath!" – Lockdown (Mark Ryan)

"Autobots, we’re going to prove who we are, and why we’re here." – Optimus Prime

"These alien guns kick arse!" – Cade Yaeger

"Come and get some! You’re all going to die!" – Hound

"Whenever you look to the stars, think of one of them as my soul." – Optimus Prime
