no, he announced it would be his last one, awhile back
Agreed. I think he has a great eye for visual effects. If he could just be handed another solid action screenplay, I’d think it would do so much better.
Totally with you on that. I have seen Avatar countless times without ever seeing it.
About TF4 rumors, I think Statham would be sick, as part of the NEST Unit, but he’s fighting giant robots. Unless we get an armada of Frenzy sized robots, I don’t expect him to do much (in the ass-kicking realm mind you). He wasn’t too bad in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels though.
Reboot vs. Continuation - I don’t want a reboot, as I like the design aesthetic, just make them all humanoid, and not have the Decepticons as beastly. Bring Unicron into the picture, but not as a planet, but a bad-ass robot. State he is the 1st creation of the Allspark (Uni= One) awakened by Cybertron’s damage in the last movie. Keep Hobo w/ Shotgun (AKA Megatron) dead, and introduce Galvatron with the Armada, hunting the Autobots that seemingly intended to destroy their race.
Me and RC need to watch movies together. No homo. We feel the same way about Indy 4. Why would I go to theatres to watch that? It was so OBVIOUSLY a cash grab at a series that just wasn’t gonna translate well to present times. Harrison Ford is like 60 years old. Do you really think I’m gonna be entertained by the same old “I HATE SNAKES!” jokes? Come on man…
I’m not going to the theatres to watch another Spielberg movie. I’m sorry Steven, but I have now reached the point in my life where I own the very much heralded and hard-earned status of Grown Ass Man**. Stop trying to make me cry dude. It’s not gonna fuckin’ work. I don’t go to the movies to have my heart strings tugged on. I got kids, a wife, and bills to make me cry.
Real talk. Last things Spielberg created that I really liked are Munich (which I DID NOT watch in theatres) and The Animaniacs. And I watched those on tv. He ain’t gettin’ my money like that.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
And you gotta be kidding me with the present “Bad Boys SUCKS!” thoughts now. You guys are so full of crap. It was witty and it was funny and it had some decent action scenes in it (for its time). I swear… it’s like people all of a sudden get amnesia when they think about stuff from the 90s and 80s. Like they didn’t watch Martin and laugh their asses off. Now people are like “Oh no man. I didn’t like Martin. All he did was physical comedy. I watched Frasier and Seinfeld.”
Bad Boys did suck dude.
Plus it set the negros back 10 years.
Bad boys was good
Bad boys 2 however…
oh man i’m having thoughts now of Statham punching a decepticon in the face…ROFL.
Yeah Statham would be a good fit for Transformers. If Spielberg takes over, he just needs to take the tempo for the 3rd one and keep it for the 4th movie.
I love this movie, but it satirizes his direction style perfectly.

EAT YOUR AWESOME!!!
i really feel as though you’re missing a gif right here
Well, looks like the Bayinator has debunked that rumor -
I think the real question is continuation verse reboot.
Due to the end of this one, a continuation would work in a Xformer the movie ‘rebirth’ kind of way. Would allow for some new leader classes besides Prime also…like Hot Rod or Ultra Magnus. I’d think Hasbro would like something like that, I’m sure they caked up more off the movie than the toys, sorta like Marvel and it’s movies.
It’s too soon for a reboot IMO.
- :bluu:
If this film franchise has proved anything is that if there’s money to be made, good sense is thrown out the window.
batman and robin made money…dont mean it didnt need a reboot.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m firmly of the opinion that they should reboot this series they need to wash the Michael Bay out of it.
No reboot. If anything just do what they’re gonna do with the Daredevil movie or even what they did with Norton Hulk and just throw some stuff that happened in the previous movies and do its own thing afterwards.
The Norton Hulk, movie was totally a reboot.
I just went to see Bayformers 3
As a G1 child, this time I can’t help it, a full rant is hidden in the spoiler tags, proceed at your own risk. (NSFW)
Spoiler
So basicly one would expect this to be about Transformers, but no, as usual this 3rd flick also mostly centers around Sam Witwicky (thank gawd not as much as the 2nd one)
Remember the first 2 movies, about the Bayformers leaving Cybertron thousands of years ago because the war drained their planet dry.
Well get ready, cause Mr. Bay once again doesn’t care about established and/or logical plot lines.
In the opening we see a Autobot ship trying to escape Cybertron, ok fine…
However it gets shot down and eventually crashes on the Earth’s moon (which is strange already due to the distance BUT…)… IT"S THE 1960’s ALREADY
Didn’t they leave Cybertron like thousand years ago? Having Seekers on Earth as primitive automobiles around the 1860?
And now it was in the 1960’s…
Come to think of it, why the hell did the cons shoot down Sentinel Prime in the first place if he allied himslef with them… like they would now for sure that all that Space Bridge equipment would survive the explosion/impact of the crash/attack
Oh well let’s move this nonsense on…
Due to Mr. Bay firing Megan Fox, I get a 30 minute forcefed on how Sam met his new girlfriend goody.
Once again the human and comedy factor is still too much present in this flick imo, japanese guy harassing Sam on the toilet with gay implacations by Sam’s boss… oh yeah it’s back to stoned mom on high school all over again.
FFWD around all the human sillyness and the plot thickens…
The cons want to space bridge Cybertron into Earth’s orbit…
A plot completly stolen from “Ultimate Doom” from the classic G1 series.
An Decepticons army takes over Chicago (and of course still gets defeated, but that’s Hollywood cliche and I’m a Decepticon fanboy so I’ll let this one rest)
The rest was SO predictable.
Congratulations Prime, you just DESTROYED YOUR HOME PLANET!
Let’s move on to the characters that bugged me the most.
The insectlike designs still bug me, but that’s another discussion
Autobots did their part as usual, couldn’t care less.
- Prime:
Really, Prime showing no mercy to his comrade Sentinel… that’s well so Un-Prime… 
- Starcream:
Oh poor Screamer, you destroy choppers en jets with ease but get taken out by Sam.
Seriously are these guys supposed to be robots, the ooze coming out Screamers mush makes him more of an insect.
- The excuse that goes by the name Megatron:
Om my… where do I start? SRK vets know that I love me some G1 Megs but this was blasphemy at the fullest, he was like a homeless bum, unworthy of the Megatron name.
We see the guy like only 4 times in the entire movie.
1: Megs has fallen on hard times and is now disguised as an aids orphan living in Africa
2: Again stolen from an G1 episode, Megs takes his seat on Lincoln memorial.
3: So sad, Megatron gets punched in the face by Sentinel, wtf? really this is the Decepticon leader?
4: Like a true homeless junkie, Megatron stares at Cybertron in the sky, it takes a fleshing bitch to make him remember that if you call yourself “Megatron”, you should at least fusion cannon someone in the back.
A small flash of Decepticon glory is shown as he takes out Sentinel, only to be killed in a single blow by Optimus… seriously? Really? I would have at least somewhat of a fight…
Well at least Shockwave look a lot like his G1 self…
Best part of the movie?
The girl crying about having a red cup on the yellow floor… yeah that’s what this has come to…
Worst part:
Besides “Megatron”, Laserbeak transforming in some pink japanese funbot…
I thought Laserbeak turning into a miniature cliff jumper was cool. It didn’t really help the plot much since the guy he killed had no established value to the story and it was sketchy as to why they suddenly decided to kill human contacts now.
Also I can’t believe that I didn’t pick up on the enormous time discrepency. Nothing makes sense. And why does Cybrtronian crap keep crashing on Earth. When Beast Wars did it there was a very very important reason for it.

I had a hard time with that too. It’s like ‘Yeah go kill em all’ and yet we get a pointless view of only two kills. That whole part didnt need to happen.
I kept wondering what was so important about us, that every plan involved destroying our sun, landing on our moon, hiding on our moon, or worse. Isn’t there ANY other planet out there that isn’t billions of miles away that would be a better idea to deal with??? Why go so out of your way, REPEATEDLY, with us?
and yeah, I am still mad about Megatron, Diek Stiekem. WTF was with him covered in Cybertronian crabs? And did he REALLY need a fucking cloak to cover himself???
Another gapping hole in the plot is how the heck did Sam get away from Laserbeak the first time? Laserbeak can freakin fly and bullseye a dude in his car from quite a distance away. Sam’s escape plan seemed to consist of sucessfully running out of the frame of the shot.

Those crabs, I think they were some kind of parasites, since he was damaged and all, feeding on him.
Maybe that’s the reason why he wore the cloak as well, to cover it all up, I dunno, can’t think of anything else tbh.
