MLP:FiM came about due to BAYFORMERS?!? I was right...the multiverse HAS gone loopy!
I'm with wooty. I'm suspecting MovieBob is saying what Luke was quoted saying in a couple previous posts.

I want to see someone other than Michael Bay direct a transformers movie. Get someone with fresher eyes and someone less full of himself. Get a real writer who knows how to write about Transformers instead of writing around Transformers.
I've been watching Transformers: Prime and while it tries to emulate a lot of stuff from the movies it's much better executed. I'm not talking CGI, I'm talking plot, pacing, characterization (Humans and Transformers), shot composition.
I'm done with Bay and his Transformers.

I thought he specifically stated many times that he didn't want to make any more transformers movies?
I can get that you want to make a new Transformers movies, they made a lot of money. But why rehire the guy that pretty much every critic and fan hated? As for Jason Statham... Shia Lebeuf is bad, but Statham isn't good either.

Well, that's...what's the word for it?
No Mr. Bay, it's not awesome...more...not needed?
Honestly, even though the plots of most of the Transformers movies were filled with holes, I didn't mind them that much. What I couldn't stand as Bay's childish attempts at humour. Definitely not a series I really enjoy, but whatever.
Ah well, might as well prepare for Moviebob calling people morons for liking these two as well...

I am happy. These are fun movies to watch, like Godzilla movies. Do people keep forgetting these are based off toys? Cars that turn into robots? The day people want depth from robots that turn into cars and "Rollout" is the day I feared, but it came sooner than I expected. Who doesn't like good action, cgi and hot women? Did we forget the simpler things in life? We have plenty of movies that are mentally stimulating if thats your thing, but drop the nostalgia cry of your crushed childhoods. Nobody thinks your cool sticking to your outdated mediums. The old transformers show was good for its time, but its kinda boring. And lets be honest, Shia la Beef was the main problem. Now he is gone and now the muthafucking Transporter is his replacement. When I buy popcorn and candy and sit down for a movie, I want it to entertain me. Not every movie has to be The Dark Knight or Inception.
Fuck sake. Why??
They could give the series to a good director and give a reboot(if ANY series was in need it's Transformers) and still make piles of money.
Not one of those movies has been good. Especially not the latest one.
Also what is the point in the action if it's hard to follow? I find that half the time I can't see the action involving the robots because of their design and then end up just looking like a mess of metal. Compare that to say, Real Steal, which had great robot fights and you could see it perfectly because it's slowed down to a reasonable speed and the robots are easy to perceive.

Transformers: War for Cybertron is exactly that and it's the best transformers game made yet!ChromaticWolfen said:
Why settle for shit when it can be great? Transformers has that potential for depth, without compromising action. Why let it stew in mediocrity? If people had said that after seeing Batman and Robin we wouldn't have Batman Begins or The Dark Knight.Don Savik said:

Why you all so mad? Yes, the first Transformers was pretty crap with the far too much human storyline...but the second and third movies gave most Transformers and Bay fans exactly what they wanted. Massive fields of robotic destruction. Plot? Well, aside from a very simple one (SIMPLE DOES NOT MEAN BAD, FOR FUCKS SAKE! CAPS RAGE!) just to have a story in it, the third was just one long awesome fight scene. Which I do not have a problem with. If I wanted to watch some intelligent movie with a deep characters, I would watch something else. And I do. But other times I want to see epic destruction, because deep movies never seem to include them. And we seem to be stuck in an age where a movie like that fails all the time.
Critics can piss and moan as much as they want. But fact is, Transformers made more money than they will ever see, instantly making it a finfancial success. And seeing as how that's what movies seem to be created for now...and have always been, there shouldn't be a problem.

I watched Dark Side of the Moon just two days ago and it was trash. It DIDN'T focus on the Transformers as you say. In fact, yes there was fights going on around, but it still put most of it's focus onto the human characters. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee had such a disappointingly small amount of screen time. Hell Optimus spent half of the final battle tangled in cables while Bay follows Sam around doing his shit we don't care about. His character is worthless and annoying, although not even as worthless as the marines.Reaper195 said:
quote="ChildofGallifrey" post="7.318565.12987252"]As much as I dislike the Bayformers flicks, I'm intrigued by this one. The biggest complaint (aside from the atrocious writing, but if you're watching a Michael Bay film for the intellectually challenging dialogue you're doing it wrong) was that the movies spent too much time focusing on Shia Laboeuf trying to get laid than on giant robots beating the hell out of stuff, right? If they replace Laboeuf with Jason Statham, then the whole movie is either going to be robots beating stuff up, or Jason Statham beating stuff up. It's a win/win!
I'll reserve judgement until this is something other than a rumor.[/quote]
LOL excellent observation and idea
I suppose if we can't have a halfway decent backdrop for the story and junk...might as well go all the way action
a good compromise perhaps!

Sorry, I just enjoy reading the comments whenever something like this happens. I actually rather liked 1 and 3. Though 2 was still a holocaust of film making.
