To put things into perspective, bay did 4 so he could get pain and gain made

That's how much they want him

He's not going away

 

[PSqueak]

I still remember the extended shot of the guy from silicon valleys dead skeleton lol
RIP

I felt this was unnecesary and pretty grotesque, weird to put on a movie about childrens transforming toys.

It was so graphic, i remember catching the 3rd movie on tv and there is this scene where the decepticons are killing humans left and right and i was like "oh wow i didn't remember this movie having so many human deaths", but this thing? I won't be forgetting it for a long time.

 

[Rest]

I have no idea what happened in Age Of Extinction

Mary Mark
Sword gun
Cables
The end.

 

[Narag]

aw yeah, i hope this one is long enough to require an intermission in the middle.

 

[Newlove]

Couldn't get half way through Age of Extinction, it was so poorly written. I like Walberg but had zero investment in the douche bag characters.

 

[BronsonLee]

"HERE I AM"
Optimus was mad as fuck when he said that during the last movie

I still remember the extended shot of the guy from silicon valleys dead skeleton lol
RIP

Optimus had NO TIME for that shit from Cemetery Wind, fuck those guys

And fucking lol, dude was comic relief and then got iced in the most cruel way possible. GET REKT

The 3rd had a lot more chaos and human deaths. Decepticons straight up murdering people in the street. All so Optimus can go 'See, we told you fuckers'

Mary Mark
Sword gun

The end.

And Fraser going THIS IS NOW A CIA OP

 

[Firemind]

Prime is a fucking asshole psychopath.

 

[Septimus Prime]

I hope they go back to the character design from the Witwicky trilogy. I couldn't stand the way the bots looked in Age of Extinction.

 

[DrForester]

Not to mention the human characters weren't dealing with their first world problems. Marky Mark's problems were a little more genuine. He's also a more believable action hero. Blackout was decent for a villain. Hell, he actually put up a fight in the end with Optimus.

Oh and Optimus hating humans was the perfect story. I actually wanted a story like that since the first movie because I hated the human characters so much.

4 had some good things going for it, and had it been edited to a more manageable length, I think would have been a good film.

And I bet every single person in this thread will see it

I waited till Netflix for the last one, made it about 15min and turned it off. I have zero interest in watching any of them. I used to enjoy them in a dumb action movie kinda of way, but now they are a waste of my time.

 

[-MD-]

And I bet every single person in this thread will see it

You'd lose that bet.

 

[Cameron122]

Transformers, G I Joe shared universe, when

 

[TheDinoman]

I wish Bay would do a Beast Wars spin-off.

That would be neat.

No. It would not be neat.

Honestly, regardless of Bay, I love Beast Wars but I just don't think the concept would hold up well for a live action movie. It'd just be awkward seeing a live action cheetah actually talking, complete with a moving CGI mouth. Then there's the whole issue of scale. Seeing Megatron being a teeny tiny T-rex in live action would be silly, unless they actually tried to make each character's size accurate to their beast modes, which in that case you'd have a small Optimus Primal going against a ginormous Megatron.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I can't wait for future generations to think all the toys and cartoons came from the movies.

 

[a.wd]

The last one was just a weirdly bad film with some good bits. Tucci in the next one and you got a deal

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Maybe Bay will have been inspired by Fury Road and ends up making a good movie!

Spoiler

 

[Abounder]

Goddamn Transformers 4 was the most profitable movie at the 2014 box office, this is one hell of a franchise lol. Love watching the action setpieces though, dat 9 figure production value

Maybe Bay will have been inspired by Fury Road and ends up making a good movie!

Spoiler

If only Bay would return to Nic Cage and Alcatraz...

 

[VaLiancY]

I just want a Transformers with a different director. =\ You got a good mythos and you keep making the same movie.

Spoiler

Matinee viewing.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Well shit, i wanted a different director

Maybe the animated project can get a different vibe going.

I am just tired of Bay's take on this. The cgi is still awesome though.

I will still watch :0

 

[jett]

And I bet every single person in this thread will see it

I didn't watch Transdongers 4, I doubt I'll watch Transfloppers 5.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

I wouldn't mind another transformers if Bay wasn't behind it, and it doesn't look like indistinguishable piles of metal flying around on my screen.

Bays formula got annoying by 2, insufferable by 3.

And yet that other movie with giant robots doesn't get a sequel.

 

[birthday-suit]

And I bet every single person in this thread will see it

On bootleg...same as I did AoU

 

[the chris]

Just give me an animated series based on the More than Meets the Eye comic series and they can make whatever crappy movies they want.

And I bet every single person in this thread will see it

I saw the first movie in the theater but I've only seen the second and third movies with the Rifftrax commentary but haven't seen the fourth one.

 

[Solid Samus]

one time my older brother and I got real high and put on Transformers 4 with the intent of making fun of it nonstop for laughs

like 30 minutes in we shut off the movie out of total boredom and played video games instead

no CGI Unicron, no fucking buy. These movies are the dumbest shit and if I'm gonna watch that shit I want it to be as big and as dumb as humanly possible so I can get some sort of kick out of it

 

[G-Fex]

LOL this is what TF movie fans deserve.

And no I doubt they'll base the movies on the tumblresque comic books

 

[TAJ]

To put things into perspective, bay did 4 so he could get pain and gain made

Just when I thought I couldn't hate Age of Extinction more...
I felt like I needed to burn my clothes after watching Pain and Gain. It's so telling that Bay's passion project tries to glorify fucking scumbags while shitting on their victims.

 

[Enron]

barf. im done with the transformers films after the last one.

 

[sphagnum]

Will this be the third time that Michael Bay declares he is done with Transformers?

 

[scoobs]

 

[Tizoc]

I didn't watch Transdongers 4, I doubt I'll watch Transfloppers 5.

Likewise unless they make the cybertronians look lik the TF Prime cartoon, I may be interested in watching it.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I have watched every single Michael Bay film. I'm a masochist.

 

[SURGEdude]

Whats up with the hate of Transformer movies?

There not much different from the MCU movies and you people drool over those

Not a big fan of the MCU movies but they shouldn't even be in the same paragraph as Mike Bay's decathlon of dog shit.

 

[nick nacc]

why not. They all have a handful of great scenes each.

 

[Floridian]

Bay's getting more money and nothing's stopping him.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I did read rumours the a few weeks ago that part of the movie will focus on Prime in space and the other part on Marks character and other Autobots battling some kind of threat.

COME ON UNICRON.

Supposed rumors that half the movie is the bots on earth with Mark fighting something, and the other half being Optimus meeting their creators in space

Hmm, that sounds better. I'm a little worried about them handling Unicron in one movie though, especially after what happened with Devastator in Fallen.

If they do decide to go with Unicron, this should be a set up movie with the sixth revolving entirely around battling Unicron.

 

[bobbytkc]

The last movie had prime punching a dinosaur and riding one.

I'm in.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Proper transforming animations for decepticons this time ok?

 

[mjontrix]

The correct answer!

 

[UberTag]

And I bet every single person in this thread will see it

I was the ultimate diehard Transformers fan in my formative years. Watched all of the cartoons, lined up to catch Transformers: The Movie in 1986 on opening weekend so I could weep over the corpse of Optimus Prime, collected the comics for 5 years, had a collection of 80 toys.

I haven't seen a single Transformers movie since I got dragged out (unwillingly) to the 2nd one and bore witness to those ghetto Autobots that talked jive and some abomination calling itself Devastator with its giant robo-testicles.

So no... not every single person in this thread will see it.

I actually would if it somehow turned out to be a GOOD movie. But there's little chance of that happening with Michael Bay involved. And it seems highly unnecessary for these films to be any good in order to generate obscene amounts of money.

That said, I am highly interested in dropping a ridiculous amount of money on that new Devastator figure Takara's releasing this December.
I mean, just look at this goodness...
