Transformers 4

Gerard said:
Best moment of transformers 1 had to be after prime gets slung about like a wet sock by Megatron for 10 minutes, Megatron gets taken down by raptor missiles and mr "nononononono" pushes the cube into his chest. Megatron overloads then "dies" and Prime says "you left me no choice brother".



WTF?? Everything we see of the fight its Prime getting his ass handed to him, then he says that like somehow he took Megatron down himself. :confused:

Then in the second movie Prime is somehow able to take on Megatron, Starscream and Grindor himself after not even being able to handle Megatron at the end of the first. :confused: Primes main gun in the first movie barely affects Megatron, yet in the second it send him flying through a wall. :confused:

Mental movies...

This needed quoting, Prime got absolutely tossed around in the 1st film, then in the 2nd film he gets an upgrade and turns into an ass-kicking machine!

Shame to hear the Dinobots get such little screen time, but I've already resigned myself to watching this when it comes out on TV.

Everything just seems to contradict in these movies, at the start of the first one earth is an "unknown planet" in the opening monologue, then the next thing is during the next few movies its been visited by them more often than a bargain basement whore house, the primes hid the matrix there for part 2, Megatron and Sentinel were supposed to rendezvous there for part 3. Unknown???

And if the plan all along (even predating the first movie) for part 3 was for Megatron and Sentinel to bring Cybertron to earth to have slave labour rebuild it wtf was the point of the plot in the first 2 movies which was to use the allspark to take over the universe, then to destroy the sun in part 2 which would presumably destroy the earth with everyone on it anyway??? . :confused:

Bay couldn't even get the names right, Brawl became Devastator in the first movie, then we have a 4 legged vacuum cleaner with testicles masquerading as Devastator in the second one. Barricade vanishes en route to the final fight in the first movie then randomly appears in the third one, talk about a massive continuity error. And we can't forget about the influx of random silver decepticons who all looked virtually identical, you seen one getting killed then you realised there was a ton of them. Instead of making them recognisable decepticons with names they just seemed to be nameless clone grunts.

One thing bay is great at is "bigging up " certain characters only for them to do nothing or barely appear, Shockwave being the prime example for part 3, what did he do exactly besides ride about on a driller bot and get owned in record time by Prime near the end?

Its like they took random scripts containing "ye olde convoluted plots" put some glue on them, threw them at the wall and whatever stuck got made into a movie. I swear there must have been some serious crack being smoked when these things were in the development stages because the plot holes are so big its not even funny, If the plot holes were physical they'd be about the size of the moon ffs.

Just goes to show that a good story isn't necessary these days, over the top cgi and explosions sells and that's all bay is good at.

Yep. I for one am grateful.
... These are films that practically write themselves! Yet somehow they always get screwed up

I had hope that we'd finally get a good one:(
My only real memory of the others is how annoying that family was:o I mean O.M.G cringe worthy everytime they appeared on screen:eek:

I think they should have taken a leaf out of the Simpsons book:D


The only clip I could find is in German but some how it adds to it:D
If you've not seen the episode the bit that follows this adds another transforming 'toy', when asked where he's been? his reply...

"Where haven't I been!" and winks;):D:p
 
Cant we just have a scene for scene remake of the original 1986 "Transformers The Movie" they could even reuse the original dialogue recordings, that film is epic, even now..

lol brilliant post.

TBH Bay's last movie called Pain and Gain with the rock and mark walberg was far better then all of the transformers movies
 
Having seen this it's actually not bad. Way better than RotF (but then so is nearly everything) and is far, far better for removing The Beef and extended family from the equation. Does what it says on the tin and leaves the door gapingly open for further sequels. Also way less humour compared to previous efforts too. Edge of Tomorrow is much better, as was X-Men DOFP but it's not a bad film I thought.
 
And another thing, like the original, they need some damn decent music!

Would it have hurt that much to have this playing on the radio of one of the cars in the films?

I mean really, just a little nod to the source material?

There were nods to it in the form of the transforming sound and in part 3 you hear the "robots in disguise" bleeps coming from a photocopier which turns into laserbeak. :p
 
I won't say much but I saw this in LA last week (26th June) and the storyline/acting is beyond weak. The CGI and effects are amazing but don't go expecting much out of the new cast.

Thanks :)

Our Vancouver and New York facilities were part of the VFX crew. I thought we were going to get some of the work in London, but alas we did not :(
