Simply the worst of the series

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2014)

TDOTM was a mess from the beginning to the end and the worst out of the 4 released so far.
The story is a bit far fecthed and forced. The replacement of Megan Fox's character, Mikaela, by another love interest brought continuity issues to the plot and ruined the whole movie. The problem wasn't Megan acted better or worse than Rosie, it just didn't feel right. In ROTF Sam and Mikaela apparently loved each other and passed through a lot of stuff together, but suddenly they break up because apparently she was not interested in Sam for the person he was. That didn't make any sense at all. In terms of acting, replacing an actress by a Victoria Secret model was simply nonsense as well.(even considering the fact that female roles in Bay's movies are secondary and only serve as a means to attract younger audiences...) Malkovich's character as Sam's new boss was pointless and even offensive at times and the choice of Patrick Dempsey as the human villain was doubtful. People complained about annoying characters in ROTF (Leo and the Twins) but the new CIA leader took it to a whole new level.
In a movie that had a darker feeling to it than the previous installment you never feel the atmosphere of tension and chaos you were supposed to. Overall, people were left with a confusing/messed up story and the usual CGI and explosion fest typical of a Michael Bay movie. Such a CGI fest that became boring, and the reason why I only saw this once.
