Audience is teens and kids. I guarantee they are entertained. Sad but true.


Wahlberg reminded me of his 'The Other Guys' character who cried out that he was a peacock... Well in transformers he delivers the line "I'm an inventor!" in the exact same campy version. I laughed but it wasn't supposed to be funny. Movie is ok. Not great, not horrible but honestly the way it ended I am hoping if they do another movie that people aren't even it.

With characters as interesting as transformers they still have to have the story tied around the people and "our humanity". It's old. Get the fuck off earth and give us an interesting movie that doesn't revolve around bad lines delivered poorly and then a guy kissing a girl in the last 5 minutes of the movie. Every fucking transformers movie ends with the guy and girl running at each other and kissing. We get it... We're over it.

If you want a director to make a historically-accurate film...NEVER hire Michael Bay to do the job, while I'm at it...never hire James Cameron either. I know you're probably pissed off at me for criticising Cameron, but even though Titanic was a huge box-office hit AND the movie as well as the ship did look visually appealing...it's not exactly paying attention to every detail on the history of the ship (the investors involved with making the ship, the materials used, the fact that when the iceberg hit the ship...it wasn't as BIG and CLIMATIC as the film made it out to be). That being said though, it still made enough money to be the biggest grossing movie of all time...that was until Cameron outdid himself with Avatar.

I have no idea why anyone goes to Transformers films any more, either.

I love transformers. I watched it since it came out in the 80s.
And I have no interest in the films any more.
I like it and always will, but the films have zero interest for me now.

After that atrocity that was the second one, I thought, I'll give it one more go, then no more.
So I sat through the marginally better third one. Then said, FTS! No more for me!

It's saying something bad, when the long time transformers fan, me, does'nt want to know anymore.
But my husband, the none transformers fan, is interested.

They should just give up. The films have got beyond a joke.
I think Peter Cullens got some people blackmailed, to keep pushing Optimus Prime constantly.

I hate optimus prime. I never liked him. The only Optimus Prime who was any good, was the one in Transformers Animated. Because he was a twat sometimes. That he was a twat sometimes, made him more likable.
The other leaders are all better than Optimus Prime!


And the Bumblebee who does'nt talk! FFS!
Telepathy, sign language, there are tons of none verbal comunnications!
He does'nt have to get his voice back, though it would be better for him.
But speak properly in some way! Enough with the stupid voice clips!

The films have have infected the series too.
New Bumblebees after the first film, he does'nt talk.
I saw Transformers Prime. Having clawed my way through the first episode. Saw the none talking Bumblebee, and said
Enough! I am outa here!
I could'nt sit through more than episode one. and I only got through that once. After, I could'nt get through it again. Prime is absolutely terrible!

Im a pretty huge transformers fan. and I had been nothing but disspointed with each iteration of these movies.

I will say I enjoyed this one.. alot. Probably more so than I shouldve. I liked how the story was a bit more focused. more so than previous. I loved the desert locations (very G1) John Goodman makes a great cheesy autobot, Frank Welker back, and Lockdown, was the perfect villain.

Not only that but I think its because I finally gave up on what I wanted from a transformers adaptation and simply looked at this as "What if" scenereo.. SImply another transformers universe to add to the lore but not really be the main cannon..

theres been alot of amazing transfromers media because of these horrible movies, and for that Im grateful they exsist.

I find it funny that people get all bent outta shape over Bays movies..I mean let me get this straight you want a super heavy and depressing Transformers movie or do you want 3 hr's of Transformers beating the shit outta each other and doing Transformer like things?..Look Transformers were always goofy I loved them but when you boil them down its a goofy premise and I this given what the franchise is Bay and company delivered about the best version of that you could really get..The problem isn't with Bay its with paramount wanting sequel after sequel lets face it, its a one trick pony I challenge you to find any real difference in the writing,acting,overall production value from the first to the very latest film "you Can't" the first was well received because no one really had faith in Bay making a movie about a line of toys .

I only liked the first one and stopped paying after the 2nd one.

To me, these movies are the Call of Duty/Twilight/Miley Cyrus trainwrecks.

Nothing substantial and annoying.

But this is coming from a guy who watches Power Rangers series on Netflix.

Me? I don't have 3 hours to waste while Michael Bay gets more rich.

What happened to him? I like Bad Boys, The Rock, and Armageddon. I even liked Bad Boys II, Transformers 1 and The Island.

Anything to do with remaking horror movies (poorly), toys, and real life is a warning sign.

I'm honestly sad that Edge of Tomorrow and Pacific Rim struggle to find audiences. I shake my head when The Raid 2 is given a limited release. I facepalm when action movies are made for the PG-13 crowd.

Make it stop.

Also, with movies like Captain America The Winter Soldier, X-Men Days of Future Past, Godzilla, and Dawn of The Planet of The Apes, we don't need Transformers anymore.

You can make spectacular blockbusters without dumbing them down or being bloated.
