Rank The Transformers Films
 

After watching the Transformers films a few weeks back I figured I'd give my ranking for them. Does anyone else enjoy these movies? Or are you with the majority that they're some of the worst movies ever made.

4. Revenge of the Fallen
3. Dark of the Moon
2. Transformers
1. Age of Extinction

If you're wondering why the 4th movie is my #1, it's because there was no Shia yelling and screaming like a high school girl when something went wrong.

1. Transformers 1986.


Aaand, that's it.

I haven't seen any of them.

ARE there any people who enjoy the TF movies? I'm not a TF fan in general, so I don't have anything to add to this thread. Except that Bay movies suck, but that's a smashed dead horse.

The 1986 movie was alright, the first Bay film was decent at best.

Everything else that came after it sucks. Haven't even bothered watching Age of Extinction.

I'm not a fan of the 1986 movie, they killed off many of the main characters, the movie was merely just to sell the new toys at the time, there was even backlash behind it, that they had to bring Optimus Prime back to life during the 3rd season of the animated series.

The 2007 movie should be on top, I liked all the TF films in general, I just don't pick which one is the favorite, that's like choosing which is your favorite child, Just be happy they are making Transformers movies, you either like them or you don't.

And this aint even over, they are gonna make more Trasnformers movie, one will be fully animated and set in Cybertron.

The one with Ninja Turtles in it.

That is terrible logic. Why should anyone be happy that we're getting garbage when we could be getting a much better product instead?

Seriously, ponder on that thought.

What was the 1986 movie about? I wasn't even aware that existed.

Not as long as Bay is making them; the man has no interest in a fully non-human cast.

Google and Wikipedia are your friends.

You may think its garbage and that's just your own opinion, but others find joy and entertainment in these films.

I think most of the hate are just people who are just cynical, if you become cynical over something, your not enjoying life very much.

Riiiight, cynical. :roll:

Or it could just be they plain suck when it comes to adapting the Transformers mythos and you and anyone who thinks these are good films have some questionably taste in cinema...

Sadly, the questionable taste in cinema possessed by some individuals has been long ago proven in the sacred halls of this hallowed forum.

Father Bry continues to try to exorcise the Lower Demons of Questionable Taste, but alas, to no avail. These wretched beasts of shadow and spirit continue to possess many a soul and haunt many a thread.

You of all people should never question people's taste in movies or anything, those like that don't belong here, just respect what they like and not come off as an A-hole by saying they have questionable taste.

I don't criticize anyone about there taste

He of all people? My brother in arms and fellow devotee of the Scarlet Speedster Saint? :teek:

YOU DARE!? :flaming:

Seriously, though, "he of all people?" Why the higher standard for Titan97?

I'm talking in general, I see this in these boards all the time, people criticizing others about there taste, and acting like they know better then them, that's just plain wrong and doesn't belong anywhere.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you not notice the "But that's none of my business" picture I had in my previous post? Here, let me put here for you again just to make sure you get the message.



But on a serious note, are you really telling me that you can look at a film like Revenge of Fallen and honestly call it a GOOD movie on par with say, The Dark Knight or Winter Soldier?

Well, FYI, "he of all people" is not at all a correct choice of words for your intent.

For example, this is how the phrase should be used:

"Leo656, you of all people should NOT be dissing wrestling!"

what's going on in this thread

What's going on is, any mention of Transformers just gets people riled up. :lol:

See, that's the thing, I don't think that's joy. I think that's complacency.

Life is all about highs and lows. Being critical doesn't mean you're cynical, it just means you're able to see the bad and the good clearly. Criticizing the bad also means you can recognize and appreciate what's truly good. It means you enjoy it more. You appreciate better writing, better stories, you connect with good characters, you feel the emotions of the story so much more that way.

People who give a thumbs-up to literally anything projected on a screen? I think they're missing that. There's no real joy if everything is "great".

May I hug you, Father Bry? Truly you are a wise man.

Preach.:nod:

If I can't criticize peoples' tastes, can I at least criticize their grammar? :tgrin:

Of course, my child! Let the warmth of this embrace bring you closer to the word of Liking Actual Good Movies. Also, my holy vestments are a soft and comfy poly-fleece blend!

I'm going into seminary, so that I may spread the True Fan Gospel and unveil the LIES that are this WOLF IN TURTLE'S CLOTHING, that old DEVIL MICHAEL BAY!!!

I think all the hate stems from people having high expectations for the first Bay movie and being sadly disappointed. It had promise but of course you had Shia and Megan Fox who are terrible actors.

I had high expectations for the TF movie and I was satisfied with it, I wanted to see giant robots kicking ass and taking names.

I love bay movies. These rock!

4. Revenge of The Fallen this movie was ass
3. Dark Of The Moon It was a good 3rd movie cause we got to see Mcdreamy from Grey's Anatomy get wasted and Wheeljack was in it.
2. Transformers. The First one It was good a big deal at the time it came out
1. Age Of Extinction I loved the Dinobots and John Goodman Hound was hilarious. it was just his character from the Big Lebowski as an Autobot

These Transformers movies are very violent if you think about it, one of the movies shows Optimus Prime decapitating the head of a Decepticon, and in and in another, he rips a Decepticon's face in half, Lot's of robot on robot violence, lots of robot gore too.

Idiocracy.

Robot... gore?

Just...

You guys are the reason aliens took one look at us and said "First Contact? Hell no!"

Wow. Did someone really say picking their favorite TF movie is like picking your favorite child?

Yes. Yes they did.

Apparently someone only has special needs children.

4th one was my least fave. Third is dark of the moon. Second- revenge of the falling n. First is 2007. And Megan fox was soooo hot by the way. They're great movies too. Loved em so much. I can't wait for 5.

And once again, Captain Obvious strikes with the speed of lightning and fades away into the night....

Most of the complains I hear about these TF movie, Is that it focuses too much on the humans then the robots, and I have no problem with that since, the movies are told from the human's point of view when they see these giant robots on there planet.

with the Transformers cinematic universe that Paramount is working on, There will be spinoff movies, one of them being set on Cybertron, at the end of Age of Extinction, Optimus Prime flew to space and heading torwards the creators, most likely the Quintessons, so there's an animated feature that focuses completely on the robots themselves. :)

Only saw the 1st, 2nd and 4th one. I thought they were all over-blown and kinda dragged on. I saw the first one about 6 months after it came out on theater. Saw the second one on FX a lazy afternoon, and saw the 4th with my roommates.
Now the CGI was fantastic, but the character designs seemed too busy for me and I found it a chore to watch. I heard good things about the 1st one, so I was expecting something awesome and was sorely dissapointed. And for me personally it's hard to rank something I dislike as a collection. I will say I enjoyed PD turtles more than any of these TF movies, because they don't drag on for 2-3 hours. Although I did marginally like them more than the IMO atrocious 2k7 movie. But that isn't that hard to do.

Age of Extinction is best, even though it's so long.
Dark of the Moon is next for me. I like Sentinel Prime a lot.
The first one is really good, even though I like the ones above more.
Revenge of the Fallen is the weakest. It has some nice set pieces, though.
