I think it looks alright and as long as it's not 4 hours long it can't be any worse than the last one... can it? Please tell me it can't be worse than the last one. 

The TF movies seem to alternate between serviceable and horrible.

 

The first was decent, ROTF was terrible, Dark of the Moon was the best so far (faint praise, admittedly), and Age of Extinction was very bad. So if the pattern holds, The Last Knight might be ok?

True enough. The trailer looks okay even if I have no idea wtf is going on in most of it.

It was crowded, but for someone like me who doesnt follow transformers all that much, I enjoyed all of the other movies. I dont care who says they were terrible, they can have their opinion, but I did enjoy them. This one looks to be good IMO as well, the trailer is pretty cool.

So I saw it last night. I give it a 2 out of 5

 

as much as Bay was talking the script up I was hoping it was going to be really good. It was bad. The editing was all over the place, and a few Bay camera angles go a long way and the movie was made up of most of them. It also had soooooo many stupid one liners, the Black guy was the worst. It also felt like they could have chopped 30 mins out of it. It can in at a running time of 2 hours  29 mins. Please Bay, for real this time stop making Transformers movies. The only one that was ever any good was the first one.

I love that absolutely no one seems to notice that they completely ignored the previous movie.  Megatron was turned into Galvatron (truck form) and was able to digitize himself into whatever he wanted.  This movie has him back to Megatron and he has no known ability to digitally transform in any way that was shown in the last movie. 

 

Spoiler

And of course, they completely butchered Unicron.  How the hell are they going to actually show Unicron if they make it Earth?  As soon as he transforms we as a species are screwed.  Overall, they just need to stop making movies.

viewers need to stop picking apart movies so much, who cares if they don't match what's in a comic or book.

 

as long as they are entertaining with decent acting / soundtrack that's watchable imo.

You have to remember that for some, who grew up on a certain franchise feel let down or even betrayed by it, if the franchise deviates dramatically from the 'official' lore.

 

I'm one of those, I grew up on many of these cartoons, show, etc. And many of the generational friends who also remembered the franchises feel the same way.

The problem is people want them to be how they are in the original series or film as that is how they look and feel it should be.

 

I mean the only real Transformers movie was the animated one that came out in the 80's that stayed true to the idea of what the transformers are and not exploding lenses flair to be seen.

Spoiler

I mean how can unicron be planet earth and all this bloody knights templer rubbish that keeps being added to the films currently what is with that crap?

In the current and previous Transformers cartoons Unicron is the planet earth, so I am guess thats where they got the idea from. Still does not work if it is not executed correctly

I did not know that as I have not read any of the comics for a long while and was not aware that had changed. How does unicron end up being planet earth, it just does not make any sense at all. Can you point me at the correct comics so I can catch up on this?

 

But my point still stands that the best film was the Transformers:The Movie(cartoon).

Just watched it and it was fine for a 'switch your brain off and enjoy the action' film. 

 

There were so many continuity errors though it was pitiful, almost wanted to make this Transformers 1.1 and forget those in the middle. Something that did bug me however was the WW2 sub. It is based in Gosport here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/50°47'18.5"N+1°07'11.0"W/@50.788466,-1.1205103,282m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d50.7884661!4d-1.1197184, about 70miles from London. Then the shot from the museus, to Themes then Dover..... Bugged me, probably more than it should have done.

    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
