    No one is gonna make you do something by force,you're a sentient being,right?You can choose to do that and no..personally I'm not gonna spread hate even more,at this point I expect it from people so I don't care now and no one should either.If the respect is not found then the conversation should be left alone because starting a conflict won't prove you're right.(As long as the opinion is respectul it should be fine)

    Yeah. Despite not liking what Bay did with a lot of things in Transformers, I like his kaboom style. Love me some Armageddon and Bad Boys/Bad Boys II.

    This sounds like his superhero movie lol.

    i hear you, despite being an unabashed fan of his (believe me, my friends love to rip me for it) i can't say i was overly impressed with his work on the transformers films..dont get me wrong, he did a lot of stuff that i liked but i think he peaked with 1 & then kinda underwhelmed me with films 2-5. a shame because the foundation was so strong

    my rankings would be 10, 4, 5, 7, 2

    28/5 = 5.6 avg film for his work on the films which seems right to me.

    respect his work ethic but rotf was a misstep & they finally kind of rectified the films at the end of aoe but tlk kinda just said "eh, who cares anyway?" & killed it sadly.

    Q
    I'm betting on an alternate timeline. Why reboot a film and have the first trailer have a quote from the first film?

    I didnt say that there has been one. I'm saying that this film isn't a reboot for the above reason.

    Intead of a reboot, let's just have an "origin" series going forward. All the potential characters people wanted to see like Wreckage, Stockade, Bludgeon and Longarm can finally have a chance to shine. It can be much like "The Clone Wars" but with different premises on each movies.

    Most people have no clue what these are. That's literally impossible right now.

    I can't stand Lorenzo-making 650 mill on a movie that cost anywhere from 350-400 mill (including the marketing budget) isn't much in the terms of box office success. He doesn't seem to want to admit the weaknesses of what came before-then again, Lorenzo's gonna be Lorenzo. Interesting how they always seem (at least for 99% of the time) to use him as a source instead of Travis Knight. . .

    I agree about Michael Bay. 13 Hours was fantastic. Who didn’t enjoy Bad Boys 2? And, despite the ball busting I get from friends, I even liked The Rock (The movie, not the wrestler... even though the wrestler was great in his heel days, but I digress).

    His work on Transformers, though... not to crazy about it. 2 & 3 were funny due to how batshit crazy they were, but 1 was boring IMO and 4 & 5 were utter trash. Hope he makes more films, just not Transformers.

    It’s not Starscream... it’s Windblade.
    Still want to see it?;) 


    Just kidding.

    i really wish they didnt gut dotm because that film had so much potential. it's really fun to watch but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth knowing how much better it coulda & shoulda been if not for stupid backstage politics.
