[QUOTE]With the fourth installment in Michael Bay's blockbuster Transformers franchise, nothing is in disguise: Fans of loud, effects-driven action will find satisfaction, and all others need not apply.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_age_of_extinction/[/url] [IMG]http://gyazo.com/fbd55b84fb1351c96901757b32ea30fc.png[/IMG] Someone give Michael Bay another oscar. Overall, it'll go a little higher over the next few days
My local theater just upgraded to digital projectors after tons of fundraisers and donations, and to celebrate, the first digital movie they got was this. :v:
Can't wait to see audience score when the movie gets released :v:
Just watched it. I enjoyed seeing big ass robots get blown to pieces and big ass robots riding big ass robot dinosaurs.
The commercials showed Budweiser and Victoria's Secret trucks as part of the scenes. No shit it's terrible. It's basically one long advertisement.
lol it's a bit early to make a thread about it's review % when it's not even near close to the 200 reviews it's most likely gonna get. Really weird to see RT declare a consensus this early, too. It is looking like this is gonna be his worst reviewed movie yet at the rate it's going, though. Not to mention scores always seem to drop more after a films released. What a total shocker.
Please, stop giving Michael Bay money. Every time a studio greenlights one of his movies, please take the entire budget, load it into a C-130, and push it out the back door somewhere over the Sahara desert. Whatever happens, the world will be better off than if it were spent on another Transformers movie.

it's a hasbro thing, whatever happens and whoever directs it it's one big advertisement for can tie into it i.e toys meanwhile Mr Bay laughs his way to the bank again after making another movie about fighting and explosions, because at the end of the day, [I]fighting and explosions are awesome[/I]
What a Surprise.
The movie was a typical good popcorn movie, its not good, its not bad, its just a fun movie you would watch on a boring sunday or something.

So not even Marky-Mark could save it? I guess he should have gotten The Funky Bunch back together.
I have read on average every minute of this movie costed a million dollars to make. Glad to see they were well spent tho!
I saw it yesterday with a group of 10 friends. It was almost undeniably terrible. Laughably so. And that is what saved it. Not a big fan of Transformers as a whole, I've seen the first and third Transformers movies, only being able to remember the third clearly (and finding it dreadful), so I went into it expecting a horrid movie and that's exactly what I got. What I didn't expect was for it to be so funny through it's own glaring faults. The dialogue and story are some of the worst I've ever witnessed, and the acting was pretty damn bad. But being able to laugh at it instead of groaning every two minutes of the film's 165 minute running time (!!!) was what made it a fun experience. Highlights include a government agent replying to Wahlberg's request to see a warrant with a screenwriting-oscar worthy retort, an uncomfortably racist samurai autobot with a notably gold (yellow) face (played by Ken Watanabe. Why, Ken? Why?), Stanley Tucci screaming about mathematics, and product placement so overt that it's almost insulting. Watching a robot plow through a bus with "[B][U][I]VICTORIA'S SECRET[/I][/U][/B]" right in the audience's faces in extreme slo-mo is so desperately money-grabbing that it's funny. Oh yeah and I guess the robot battles are cool but the Dinobots are barely in it and honestly for me it took backseat to the rest of the movie's terribleness. Go to it with friends. Get drunk. Laugh heartily. It's like an $165 million dollar Troll 2 if you do
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;45222752]Why? Michael Bay films may not be cerebral, but they're plenty of good old mindless fun.[/QUOTE] The action scenes are terrible though. You can't see shit in most of them.
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;45222957]an uncomfortably racist samurai autobot with a notably gold (yellow) face (played by Ken Watanabe. Why, Ken? Why?)[/QUOTE]thank god Michael Bay is continuing the series' trademark of having racist Transformers in this new installment
I see people saying they liked the movie and then getting rated dumb multiple times. Never change, Facepunch. [editline]26th June 2014[/editline] And you know what: I'll say it. The new Transformers is the same movie as the last three. I enjoyed the last three. I will enjoy this one.
[QUOTE=Solomon;45223603]I see people saying they liked the movie and then getting rated dumb multiple times.[/QUOTE] Then those who rated go and shower "Citizen Kane is the best film" posts with winner ratings.
Its probably the sort of movie you'll watch the first time, so long as you go in objective, with a bit of fun, critics often lose that objectivity and derive enjoyment from coherency and quality Standard Steve wants to see some action, a simple plot and maybe a simple shock twist (OH NO the Autobots/Optimus/Oldsformer/the-gravel-voice-one is/are dead!) that's his idea of fun But 10 minutes after it ends most people realise how fucking stupid the plot was, and you cringe now and then at the acting throughout
[QUOTE=darth-veger;45222734]The movie was a typical good popcorn movie, its not good, its not bad, its just a fun movie you would watch on a boring sunday or something.[/QUOTE] you can have an enjoyable bad movie, or a boring, great one. being fun doesn't make it un-criticizable
I go to watch a bunch of robots beat the shit out of each other not some acting master piece :v:
On the plus side of things, Shia Labeuouf and Megan Fox are not in this one, so this film series has nowhere to go but up from here on out
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;45222283]The commercials showed Budweiser and Victoria's Secret trucks as part of the scenes. No shit it's terrible.

The Lego Movie was pretty much one of the most comprehensive advertisements ever created and it was still a pretty good movie.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;45224083][I]Another[/I] Oscar? When did he ever get one to begin with?[/QUOTE] a very quick google search reveals he has none [editline]26th June 2014[/editline] also lol its down to 13%

If anything that means it's staying as close to the original as possible. :v: Yes, Marphy, despite what your nostalgia goggles might tell you, when you get down to it all the original cartoon was, was a half-hour long toy commercial. An AWESOME toy commercial, but a commercial nonetheless.
