Probably no 'Transformers 5' in 2016, Michael Bay slams movie critics

'Transformers: Age of Extinction' is a certified box office success, but the possibility of a "Transformers 5" in 2016 is blurry.
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura believes that the Transformers 5 could not make it in 2016, all factors considered.
"We don't have a date. We can hardly handle doing one movie at a time to think about the next one," said di Bonaventura.
He continued, "in three or four weeks when the dust has settled, we'll talk about it. 2016 sounds a little rushed to me, but we'll see."
Meanwhile, Director Michael Bay slammed the negative criticisms about the movie and tried to focus on the fact that it's reaping millions in the box office.
"I work as hard as I can and I'm glad that people are liking the movie besides the critics, let's just forget the critics. The people in the audience are liking the movies - that's what I make movies for."
Critics in the popular film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave Transformers: Age of Extinction poor rating of 17% (based on 100% scoring).
One critic said, "The beginning and end of this film are too far apart. It could have been cut by an hour without missing anything important. It is just bloated with junk, including excessive product placement."
Everyone could whine about how terrible this film or the series can be or how Mark Wahlberg and those Dino Bots can stress you out for three hours, but by virtue of accessibility and surface-level entertainment, the audience will continue to expect for future releases and support it.
Transformer: Age of Extinction amassed an estimated $100 million on its opening weekend, making it the top debut of the year.
It has also been widely patronized internationally as reports have mentioned that it grossed $301.3 million in box office in 152 locations outside the United States.
