To me these movies are for purely fun action entertainment
I don't care for the story but ill follow it if there is one
I'm purely watching it for the action and for the opportunity to see my childhood cartoon in action on the big screen with the latest CGI technology and special effects/sound
Just watch it for fun
Not all movies are meant to be watched for story and deep thought

I'll play MGS or Final Fantasys for story but there's nothing wrong with endless nonsense mindless carnage fun in dynstasty warriors either


I get that but it's not impossible to make an action movie with just a little bit of depth. Hell even the Avengers pulled off having a little depth to it, I don't think it should be impossible for Transformers to do the same. I just don't understand why Michael Bay is still allowed to make movies. 10000 other directors could pull off a better job. Also using the exact same screenwriter that has failed twice in a row seems a bit odd to me. Like I said earlier, if something isn't working it needs to be fixed. Batman did it and Transformers is completely capable of doing the same.

I'm not sure what you consider "failing" or "not working" as far as I know the 3 previous Transformers movies more than tripled their budget combined regardless of personal opinion. So why would they fix something that THEY do not consider broken. The fact remains that there are still millions of people who enjoy these movies for what they are. Action, explosions & half naked women. Like someone said previously, if you aren't interested in it then don't watch it. Bitching on here about how it isn't fitting YOUR standards isn't going to change anything.

Everyone I've talked to hated the 2nd one (in person) and I've only met a handful of people who liked the 3rd lol. It's whatever though.

Of course it's not impossible to have both
But if it has the action that I want to see then I'll just settle for it.
That doesn't mean I'm saying it's a good movie or the greatest but I'm not gonna lie and say it doesn't entertain me.
like I said, some movies are just mindless fun.

Never thought Optimus Prime was a flat faced Kenworth Truck... going from the Trailer... it is supposed to be optimus that Mark buys from the junkyard,
but... there could be something else that they have not shown either.

And yes... I have spoken to family and friends when other Transformer movies came out... some liked it, some did'nt... that is normal for everyone and their taste.
Now "Red" is a great movie... action, no real tits and ass... but also funny... simple storyline.

How can you say that director and screenwriter failed twice in a row when the films make millions in revenue.
This is an excellent franchise from business point of view, and they have made tons of profit.
