all very true, BUT, -.- this is Michel Bay we're talking about, i have no doubt he will ignore the lore for the next 2 movies as wellkoroem said:
Rumor: Michael Bay in Talks to Make Two New Transformers Movies
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
I say we take bay seal him and all the scripts and what not from 3 (and the possable 4 and 5) in a lead box and drop it in the mariana trench
After seeing the third one, there is literally no force on earth that can make me watch another Bay-helmed Transformers movie.
About the time I figure hey I can start back enjoying Transformers again now that the movies are out of the way they decide they need to do more movies.
Lots of things I've enjoyed like Transformers Animated, new takes on old characters with the Generations line of figures, the War for Cybertron take on things, even Transformers Prime. Yet somehow the films manage to miss everything that make me interested in Transformers.
Perhaps they can run the film franchise into the ground and then we could be done with it. The domestic box office for Dark of the Moon was lower than Revenge of the Fallen even with the 3D surcharge so maybe the rest of the world can catch up to the idea these films have ran out of ideas except more explosions and how many Decepticons can Team America kill this time.

I refer you to "The Mechanic", "In the name of the King" (?[That Uwe Bolle thing he did]) and "The Transporter 3".Z of the Na said:
Well Transformers 3 was the best of the three(as long as you skipped the first 1.5 hours). Though I'm not holding my breath that they'll rise to anything better then acceptable.
He hasn't done any damage...Just because it isn't G1 does not mean it's awful, The Transformers canon has been changed many times and Bay's redesigning of them is no different.Rossmallo said:
Seriously i am hardly a fan of his new imagining of them, but are they watchable without me going "He fucked up"...Yes, they are, And they are quite enjoyable if given the patients...
It's a re-imagining, so he can pretty much do what he wants.
There at least 7 different universes with Transformers in them (G1, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, Prime, Robots in Disguise, Animated, Beast Wars and Bayformers), pick one of the 7 and stick to that.
lets hope that its secretly going to be Crank 3; The thirst for energon or something. and not directed by Bay, his best thing of recent was his appearance in south park. oh....
Whether or not a movie is good or bad varies from person or person. The only reason critics have a job is because they think their opinion means the truth more than other people. I think they were good and if people wanna disagree more power to them. That's just my way of seeing it.The_root_of_all_evil said:Here's the big point.xXDeMoNiCXx said:
It's not an opinion.
Bay's movies - by any quantitative measure of quality - are not good movies. They're successful, but then so are a number of atrocious and wonderful movies.
The selling of these movies IS astounding, and we both agree on that. But Bay has nothing to do with that.
Your enjoyment of it though makes no difference to whether the movie was good/bad/successful or not.
It just meant you enjoyed it.
Equally, Meet The Spartans made nearly 200% profit. Was it a good film?That makes it a film that is profitable to remake. There are also people who liked that film.
For a film that ranks lower than The Hangoverart 2, it's still worth re-making.
You know what else ranks lower than that movie? Dark of the Moon.
That doesn't make it worthwhile.
Your gonna have to do something amazing to get me to see the new movies Mr. Bay.....put Grimlock in them!
well, there goes the hopes for an an animated Transformers movie this decade. And Bay's setting his sights on killing the ninja Turtles next, care to ruin any more 80's pop culture while your at it Bay?
