From the good buzz and so far 100% RT score, it seems BB will save the franchise from BayThrash. But still there is one thing people should be worried about: Hack Lorenzo is still involved. Why Paramount hasn't kicked him out yet is beyond me. As long as he is still involved, we're not safe from Bay returning to the franchise.

 

He’s the producer

 

And he still worked on this one so what's your point?

 

He's not returning. Plain and simple.

If this movie suceeds, the studio will think this movie was the step in the right direction.

 

It’s still got Bay’s look to it. I can’t wait until he’s fully away from it.

 

i think hasbro and paramount has him on a very, very short leash these days

 

It really doesn't.

 

is the fat-shaming really necessary?

 

You’re entitled to your opinion, but that’s all it is.

 

It’s not fat shaming. He just looks like fucking Pingu. That’s all.

 

So was your statement. So not much of a defense.

 

I think you meant leash. He’s a literal dog. Let’s lock him outside.

 

Sorry to offend you and other people here. I just edited my post. But I can't stand Lorenzo. He's literally the epitome of disaster movies we gotten before.

 

Not really

 

If you cant stand him then why is it everytime you make a thread its always about lorenzo

 

I'm not personally offended, but it's besides the point. Anyway, I've always felt the lion's share of the blame lay with Michael Bay.

Lorenzo's just another name on the credits, a guy who's been riding this cashcow.

 

my bad. typo  

 

I doubt the movie will do poorly. We live in a generation where internet critics encourage people to see a movie. Even if it is their personal opinions *cough* last jedi *cough*. People don't want to see a bad movie which is why Last Knight did poorly. But the good reviews for Bumblebee will encourage people to see the film.

 

No it’s really not.

 

I think as long as he has a good director to reign him in it should be okay. The individual ideas associated with the movieverse are usually aight, it’s how underdeveloped and contrived a lot of them turn out without any attention to continuity. Because this is a reboot and apparently only one script is being used instead of like 5 in tlk, I can see how Lorenzo might not cause too much damage.
