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

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.

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

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.

~~Etsyturtle2~~ · 02-02-2016, 08:29 PM

I love bay movies. These rock!

*Autbot_Benz* · 02-02-2016, 08:36 PM

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

*TigerClaw* · 02-02-2016, 08:39 PM

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.

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.

~~Etsyturtle2~~ · 02-02-2016, 08:54 PM

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.

*shuriken* · 02-02-2016, 09:39 PM

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.

*Cure* · 02-02-2016, 09:41 PM

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.
