- Bay's uncertain if he will or won't be directing it.
- It's coming in 2016.
- It's the fifth Transformers movie.
- It'll be followed by a sixth movie that has even less known info than this.

I thought about if one was made by Quentin Tatantino. I came to the conclusion that it'd probably be the same. Just with more "adult oriented" dialogue. And no real score.

Our first clue should have been the article claiming Bay called him "Hot Rod" when that name is unusable for this brand.Rodimus Prime wrote:I didn't even need to check out the page to know it was crap.

Also the fact that the "author" is Susan B Xenu who is an 80 year old Grandmother, it should have been obvious.

Sometimes I want a serious movie with intricate plots that all tie together/deep characters/some deeper overall meaning.
Sometimes I just want a movie that thrills me and takes me away from all the serious stuff I need to deal with on a daily basis as a functional adult.
Transformers does the latter and does it well and without apologies. I enjoy them for that reason. So sue me.
Some may find it hard to believe, but a person can enjoy both extremes; it doesn't have to be one or the other all the time.
Thank you Michael Bay for making it your life's mission to just entertain and ignoring your critics who do not understand that there is place in life for your type of movie.

That's not going to happen if the movies go any further downhill then they've already gone.
Transformers - $709,709,780
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - $836,303,693
Transformers: Dark of the Moon - $1,123,794,079
Transformers: Age of Extinction- $754,044,938 (still in cinemas)
Yeah ... not really going downhill by those figures.
Or were you talking about quality? Yeah ... that's just your opinion and at the end of the day movie sequels tend to be decided on money, not the opinion of dedicated fans.
Your figures don't include the fact that movie success is highly factored on how much the film cost to make vs how much it made. It took a lot longer for this movie to break even. The figures are also largely due to help from China. My opinion is in fact my opinion. However....I a dedicated fan thought this movie although not completely unwatchable, the worst of them all. My wife, not a huge fan, who sat thru the rest of them happily, slept halfway thru this movie. She didn't even do that with ROTF (which ironically I like much better than AOE even though it had it's problems too.) This movie got the worst ratings of any I can remember by critics. I just don't understand why people defend something to the level of "death to all those who didn't like this movie". I'll say it again. I would hate to see a situation where the studio is just shelling out crap because they know the public will see it because it's "Transformers". As we've all seemed to agree on...Bay's involvement in the movie was purely financial. "In my opinion" it showed.

The trouble with Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction is that they both take themselves WAY too seriously. It's okay to make a ridiculous, over-the-top action movie as long as you don't pretend you're making high art.
Plus, when a movie takes itself too seriously, it runs the risk of ceasing to be fun. What the hell is the point of a mindless action movie if not to have fun watching it?
And I did have fun watching the 07 film as well as ROTF. DOTM and AoE, however, were just too damned dark and depressing, which is only okay if you're making a really serious movie. That dark tone has no slagging business in a popcorn movie.
