Bumblebee Tuna
With Cena joining the cast, I don't see great things for this spinoff.
shareI actually like John Cena but after the fourth Transformers movie, which felt like the longest movie going experience ever, I decided I had had enough of the franchise.
shareCena is a cool dude and I like him too. I just don't know if he fits into the Transformers franchise. I thought the fifth movie was the longest horrible experience ever. I watched it twice just to make sure it wasn't that bad. It was.
shareWas the fifth one even profitable? This seems to be the perfect example of a franchise that has overstayed its welcome.
shareThe fifth crashed and burned. Movie companies will milk a franchise til its not profitable anymore. Just look at the Divergent series. They tried to split the last movies into 2 parts. That tactic failed miserably. Supposedly the last movie will be a TV movie. I just don't think Bumblebee can carry a movie by himself.
shareI agree....
I think The Transformers Franchise is facing the same thing The DCEU is facing right now....
If The Transformers future films want to have any success....They got to make 1 or 2 good Transformers movies With a completely new director and creative team...The story, script and structure needs to be different, the movie cant just be an excuse to get to a 50 Minute climax....
Michael Bay can not be in any way involved with future Transformers films if they want to have success and start getting audiences back...
I actually enjoy the first 4 Transformers films....I think Transformers 1 is very under rated and is the only film in the franchise that actually has a decent story, and I think The last half of Transformers 3 may be the greatest action ever put of film(Unfortunately the first have of the movie is just Brutally awful)
But Like with The DCEU and Zack Snyder, you have to completely distance the franchise from Michael Bay...
Fans and Audiences are JUST OUT after Snyder shit the bed with 3 DCEU films, He's DEATH to DCEU films now...WB fired him and is distancing themselves and The DCEU from him going forward...Fans and Audiences are out If Michael Bay has anything to do with future Transformers movies, he's basically made the exact same movie 5 times ....you cant go forward with Bay...
I'm not entirely sure how successful a Transformers movie can be...but if they get a great director, come up with a completely new and good story...success is possible
as for Bumblebee....I see less than 75 Million domestically and less than 300 M WW
