No one over 19 admitted. You should outgrow this kid stuff in your teens.
shareAnd yet they have to have some adult appeal because adults are mainly the ones buying the toys due to younger generations not having an interest or attachment to toys like the older gens.

Suggest you watch this and get EDJUMAHKATED! Geeks create and save industries. Look at the gaming and cartoon scene. Some people grow up doing what they love as a kid.
I had really written this franchise off a long time ago but I try to review as much as possible so I gave it a shot and lo and behold, it surprised me. There's a lot of banging, clashing and chaos but there's some much stronger character work going on in this one and it works
If anyone's interested, I reviewed the movie on my youtube channel. Appreciate any feedback. Trying to improve -https://youtu.be/QTfZ-42tllM
What they should do is find a way to make the franchise more complex, explore serious themes - so it appeals to the adults that used to be the kids playing with these toys.
The Bay movies could have easily been serious sci-fi movies, that were allegories for various challenges we face today. Energy/resource crises (Energon shortage), pollution, corrupt leadership, war, exercising force on less technologically advanced cultures -- the list goes on.
Instead it was just CGI trash, with ludicrous scripts. You can't argue with the Box office though -- this is what the people wanted, sadly. (Though no one ever admits they like those movies even though they made billions)
