Yes, but are they using their critical thinking skills? I'm serious, the informed, well thought out hate for these is WAY higher than the informed, well thought out love. Majority opinion =/= correct.

 

Also, I like the title. From what we've seen, and given the last one, I think this one has a lot of potential.

I'd like to reiterate: I LIKE '07 AND DOTM. I just despise the overall direction, and I think where they went with it is a huge waste of a license with some of the best film potential of all time.

But given the supposed change in aesthetic, tone, and overall direction, I'm (cautiously) hopeful.

Also, I'm digging the Dinobots teasing they're doing us. This is some real fan-centric marketing, and I think that can mean only good things for the product.

So color me optimistic.

 

Sure, there's certainly a ton of well-thought out hate for the films on the internet on message boards and so forth. But apparently that so called "Critical thinking" and well-thought out hate isn't strong enough to stop them from continually seeing each progressive entry, be it theatrically, blu-ray, on demand, television or any other way legally. The haters are just as much of a percentage of the film making money as the rest of the audience does.

However, I do get your points. Still, I'm in the group that likes the films. I absolutely adore the 2007 film and watch it every chance I get when it airs on television. I admit, there are problems with each of the films, but those problems are not yet big enough to stop me from liking the films.

 

Gonna go back in Time!!!!

 

To all of you fighting. Did you know that the real Cybertronian civil war was started on their internet! It was a web site about a popular franchise that many Cybertronians loved and adored. For a time they lived in harmony, but like all fan boys, some wanted G1, others completely new. The movies tore them apart, creating two fractions. Then came the war, between the Autobots who thought the movies were okay but needed some work and the Deceptions who down right hated the fuck out of the movies.

 

Well I can agree that it is a cool poster. I actually could debate films with you I am not nearly as far down the list as you think. Let's not reduce disagreements about films to personal attacks. Sorry to jump down your throat "fail" just irritates me...

 

No I joined because I love TF I just don't like Bay or the movies. I actually found that funny of course I always find myself hilarious. Look at what Whedon did with Avengers you can make older characters work if you are a competent filmmaker. I refuse to believe TF are so fucked that they need a Bay level re-working.

 

Just take the opinions down to a nice friendly discussion please. Bay hate comments get annoying on here  

 

So much hate, its glorious. I say we wait till we get the teaser.

 

I guess you can't underestimate the power of hope. I remember thinking "Maybe, this time, they'll get it right." - and then that toilet scene in DOTM came up.....

People went to watch Transformers - unfortunately they had to put up with the rest of Bay's 'trademarks'. This time, they'll be going to see the Dinobots - and hoping maybe it'll be better than last time.

TF fans, kind of like lemmings, aren't they?

I am hoping that the folks making TF 4 learned a few things from Avengers. There is a thing such as intelligent humour..

 

*Sees all the petty banter from the past few pages*

 

 

More like "Transformers: Age of Ex-STINK-tion"...

 

Well, I liked the first and third one. I will see the fourth one, probably in 3D, with hopes that it will meet that bar. I HATED ROTF, and the only reason I saw DOTM was because my base got and played it for free, and I was pleasantly surprised.

So, I like the majority of Bayformers. But ROTF is like a "worst of" playlist, and those flaws are in the others, too. I just genuinely dislike Michael Bay's directorial "style", the designs, and appreciate it when art gives me something to think about. Or to remember.

 

Why is this the thread where everyone's at each other's throats? It's just a title. And a pretty good one at that.

EDIT: I'd like to point out that Bay fans struck first, and I regret my involvement.
