Transformers: Age of Extinction
Okay folks. Let's follow the development of this "everybody love to hate" movie. So, shall we start?

Frankly, that’s how I define Transformers series (especially the sequels) that receive negative response from an overwhelming lot of people. The critics hate them, hardcore Transformers fans hate them, casual Transformers fans hate them, my family hate them, my friends hate them, my coworkers hate them, my boss hates them, haters hate them, even my cat hates them (That one was my fault, I guess. She just doesn’t like it when I play loud movies ), and so on.

Well, I had my share of fun with this franchise although I agree the sequels had a hard time finding a way to continue upon what the first movie started. Anyway, I can't wait to see Mark Wahlberg at work in this and I expect a more serious tone this time.

They can go with Unicron & Galvatron (being made with the remains of Megatron) like in the cartoon (more or less). Heck, Unicron can resurrect Starscream and the other deceased Decepticons too for all I care.

Starscream needs to stay dead as a Spark. The ghost plotline was my favourite TF story arc. Still, it is a pity. Bay should be making G.I. Joe movies instead.

Agreed. He just loves involving humans (soldiers) & the military. Thus, G.I. Joe would be a perfect playground for him.

if all this hate for these movies is from some little plot holes that i know there are, but i think the movie makes it up for it by real style animation of a vehicle transforming into a robot by animating every single part of the vehicle by disassembling and then joining again for the transformation, and also the action is very nice,

^ It's not just because of plot holes, and more because the movie felt unhinged.. It's like watching an anime where the fanservice is too obvious and utterly pointless. Like they literally have all the cameras from the ground up staring at the girl's butts. My feelings fluctuated between:
1) Explosions, yippy! 2) Hot women, yay! 3) Okay.. that's kind of awkward 4) Huh? Wha? 5) Feeling dumber by the second.. 6) Michael Bay thinks I'm an idiot doesn't he? 7) Michael Bay: "Dance my puppets, dance! Mwahahaha!" Concentrate and ask again |

The action and transformation are cool, yes. But many of them are indescribable mess + shaky cam that only makes people dizzy (especially in the 2nd movie). They kinda toned it down in the 3rd movie coz it was for IMAX 3D.

^so you say that the movies have most focus on explosions and hot women and not on the story itself
and even if the story is okay, it can't be enjoyed because of these factors is it like that?? but i think that in movies some things should be slided, it's just a 2 hour show, it's not an episodic anime where everything will be explained, and the transformers is about the battle between autobots and decepticons, where some heavy action is required or else it won't feel like transformers at all, and about hot chicks i guess there's no harm with some fanservice but still if most of the people hate it, then what can i say
