I cannot beep believe people are actually hyped about this...

Seriously??? Because the last 4 films were so great and full of substance?? Michael Bay obviously believes audiences are stupid enough to continue to pay for his crap over and over. I guess he's the smart one because undoubtedly this will be a piece of *beep* and still rake in a billion dollars.

You mad bro? You seem mad.

Well, he's frustrated. Like me, you might say.

Want to know why? Because I'd sure like to be able to watch one of these damn things through from start to finish.

No, seriously, I challenge you to try it. The first is tolerable (it all had so much promise back then before Bay got the testicles put in), but hey, take your pick of either Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon or Age of Extinction, and see if you can do it, all the way through.

Good luck to you, you're going to need it. How long can you hold your breath for?

I get the blowing $150 million on special effects, really I do. It's cute. But can we drop at least ten grand on a plot this time? Preferably without the toilet humour?

Pretty please?

I didn't think it was too much to ask, but maybe that's just me.

Considering I've seen all four movies numerous times, that's not much of a challenge for me honestly.

I fear that says more about you than it does about the quality of these movies.

Sorry, can't do it. And lord knows I want to, believe me. Nobody went in to the first Transformers with more sheer anticipation than I.

Thanks again, Mike.

Did you ever see robot testicles or dog humping in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a character with his pants down in Transformers: Age of Extinction?

"This pile of sh*t smells a little less than that pile of sh*t, which smells a little less than that pile of sh*t".

Seriously? Setting the bar low enough such that anything can get over it is your comeback?

And in Transformers: Age of Extinction, humor of this sort was pretty much completely absent.

I sense an explanation coming for why Age of Extinction is trending 5.7 out of 10 on IMDB while Dark of the Moon is at 6.3 and Revenge of the Fallen at 6, though I'll be damned if I know what you're going to pull out of that hat this time.

Suffice to say, it's gonna have to be one hell of a magic trick to make any of these movies tolerable in one sitting.

I'm not a hater guys, honestly I'm not. I love sweet SFX and audio scores with all the trimmings. I've just run out of second chances for Michael Bay.

The only time he went overboard with the stupid humor was in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Did you ever see robot testicles or dog humping in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a character with his pants down in Transformers: Age of Extinction? No, so why do you act like he's just repeating that mistake over and over again even though it hasn't been repeated for 7 years?

The humor was toned down significantly in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the Deep Wang scene is the only real case of over-the-top humor in the movie and it's relatively tame compared to all the stuff we had to put up with in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. And in Transformers: Age of Extinction, humor of this sort was pretty much completely absent.

Gee, you sure seem to know quite a few details about final scenes of movies you claim you couldnt sit through...
And why would you keep going back to not sit through another movie when you werent able to sit through the last one?

Sounds like a whole lota BS to me...
I get it though, being snarky and acting like this franchise is so beneath you makes you look edgy, and hip.
Carry on young swaggimuffin

Oh don't you worry, when I walked out of Age of Extinction thinking "that's it, no more" this time I meant it. Granted, I'm a sucker for giving people second chances, though the old adage about 'fool me once' would seem to apply here.

No, this new one is going to have to be trending at least 7.5 here on IMDB for me to even consider a viewing on the big screen.

I like how you phrase it as if that'd be just so damned hard to do. Deep, deep wang sets the bar in your world, does it?

dmrob, for one simple reason. Because they can, if thats what they want to be hyped about then they can. Why you worried about what people are hyped about? Mind your own fckin business boy!

[–] Henry-Hill31 8 years ago

HELL YEAH! I enjoy great movies like Grand Budapest Hotel, Whiplash, Goodfellas etc. etc.

But some Michael Bay once in a while, hell yeah!
He really knows how to pull of a good blockbuster.

And compared to all the crap that comes out. DC and Marvel with their superhero nonsense are once again dominating. There are definitely some good superhero movies, but it really gets old.

1+1 = you really had to check?

[–] xvoorheesx 8 years ago

I love Transformers (from the 80's) but even though Michael Bay has never really gotten any of them right, the effects and sheer fun are worth the price of admission. There are major problems with all 4 films and the first one is the only one I can rewatch, but I'm a sucker for summer blockbusters with really good special effects because its healthy to shut your brain off for a few hours every once in a while.
