A different, more upbeat review than the ign one.

IGN has woke'd/corrupted themselves into irrelevancy. Like most gaming journos.
If I want to see a review, I'd go with the public instead of the paid shills.

Regardless, I'll avoid any and all reviews before I'll go see the movie. I don't want any spoilers nor preconceived notions when I'll first see it.

The only reason to post that is if you work at IGN.

So why are you ?

If you have the bare minimum of information, you know how IGN instigated a smear campaign against Black Myth Wukong and Stellar Blade, while giving "high praise" to Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, and Dustborn.

It's not just IGN. Some are pure "agenda" like Kotaku, but for most big gaming/movie sites, they act this way to not lose their privileged access. This principle is as old as the industry.

Independent reviewers is where it's at... That is, if they didn't had free tickets to Disneyland.



Eh, no one are immune to corruption. So that's why looking for multiple reviews from multiple sources is the best way to proceed. Or just TlDr and see the overall scores from the PUBLIC at Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic.

Understandable.
Especially because the damn term keep shape-shifting as time goes. Turns out here's a brand of "woke" even to the Right wing!

This makes me want to go to sleep.

Crap. THat's not a good sign. If the critics like it, that usually means the fans and general public won't.

No, the bumblebee film had both critics and general public on the same page in liking it. And both general public and critics hated TLK

Two incidents that are the exceptions. Pacific Rim? Any of the other Transformers movies? Most Marvel movies? (Critics loved The Eternals, but fans bombed it) Battle Angel Alita? Sorry, vast majority of critics have no damned idea what the general public likes. I'll be HAPPY if this succeeds because it means more TF movies sans humanus, but I just have a bad feeling.

Got my ticket to see it early on Saturday the 14th.

I have my skepticism, but all of my fellow Transformers fans are going to it tomorrow night.

It just gives me Nickelodeon and illumination imbecile humor vibes. Apparently the trailer showcases 90% of them in sequence which is why it comes off as a complete joke.

I'm not feeling the art style whatsoever, that 2D animated clip that came out in the past few days is way more indicative of what I'd like to see, as well as high Moon studios Fall of Cybertron and war for Cybertron, but as a Transformers property, I am obligated to give it a chance.

I hope it's good, I really do, however, I have to say that as a Transformers movie, it's supposed to convince me to buy the toys, and there's not a single character design I'd want to have a toy of. As a movie, it might be great, as a toy commercial, eh...

No, not to you and not this time. The target demographic for the toy portion is kids.

Also, i’m a bit puzzled now, were the bay films meant to be toy commercials? They felt more like excuses for other types of product placement (like cars and beer)

...and Megan Fox's abs....
