I really don't get on the hype train either there unless it is something I can physically own. I'm excited about Megatron being back of course, kinda mixed over dropping the Galvatron name though I do prefer Megatron over Galvatron in the end depending on the continuity.
I doubt the fifth film will be too terribly thought provoking or cerebral. Frankly it'll probably be picked apart by something like CinemaSins or like that in the end like the previous films. I do hope it will be intelligent enough to at least be enjoyable with the 10 foot rule. I do feel like with the latest rumors and what not the films are trying to reinvent itself in a way. AoE did try to a bit as well I feel. Whether or not it was successful with it is entirely something else.
I'm just sticking to hoping for some solid basic narrative essentials, good, coherent plot, fleshed out characters - something that shows that the 'writers room' worked and was worth it, if it can accomplish something like that, I can start to get my hopes up and look to the future, but I won't write this one off until I see for myself that nothing has changed
I wish I could believe this "writers room" was a good idea, but considering Hasbro put the guy who wrote
Batman and Robin in charge of it... it sounds like a frypan-fire situation.
Honestly, this is really how I feel. I do feel like the sequels are slow to improve, but certain aspects do make it better with each new sequel made. It's just going at a very marginal pace to improve overall. I don't know who's fault that specifically is at this point. Whether it is Hasbro, Bay, or the writers and it could be all of them having a hand in the slow to change aspect.
Looking for more in these films beyond them being action movies/popcorn summer flicks is kind of like looking for uplifting, constructive, and civil comments in the section below on YouTube videos.

If you wanna see some really impressive CGI, some things blow up and a lot of action which will probably be as recycled from previous movies like all the other movies' action has been? Go for it. But you're not very likely to find anything resembling an interesting story or character.
Yep, this is accurate. It doesn't make it a no-go though both for those that appreciate those kinds of movies and even the general public though. I can appreciate popcorn movies, we all can. I do feel like the day we get a cerebral TF film domestically is the day we'll get one with humans otherwise less involved to not at all.
