Amidst a sea of new commercials, a rocking halftime show and a football game, yesterday's Super Bowl broadcast also delivered some thrilling new TV spots for a handful of extremely anticipated movies. We were treated all the Michael Bayhem we could handle -- or all that could fit into a 34-second spot -- with the new Transformers: Age of Extinction trailer, and a look at what's ahead for Cap in the Captain America: Winter Soldier spot. There were also Muppets, cars racing and flying, webs galore and a flood of... well, flood.
