MysteryMovieMogul Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) So, what I want to know regarding TRANSFORMERS ONE is, is it good if you just want a good film and don't care about Transformers or Transformers lore? Like, is it a serviceable movie unto itself, in a bubble? Edited September 20 by MysteryMovieMogul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people will look at anything they saw as a child and will be nostalgic for it (granted also vulgar auteurism is the hip new thing to do). I guarantee in a few years we're going to see Seltzerberg get some sort of redemption arc and people will be talking about how Disaster Movie's a comedy classic because they saw it when they were 15 years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you the first movie and Dark of the Moon but Revenge of the Fallen and Age of Extinction are terrible and I never bothered with The Last Knight. And I am or was a big Michael Bay fan. Bad Boys, The Rock and Armageddon are some of my favorite movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nostalgia is mainly for 1 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of the point. The nostalgia for Bay coming back is like no thank you. He was cooked by the time of the Last Knight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryMovieMogul Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I enjoyed the dumb Michael Bay films because, and this is just my own opinion, I think Transformers is very silly and Michael Bay treated the franchise with about as much respect as it deserved. Well, in the beginning. Oh, and the CG Transformers were cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric is Gay for Venom Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I'm honestly pretty pro-Bay too, and like most of his movies, but Dark of the Moon is the only Transformers movie I can ever admit to liking. All the other ones suck eggs, including the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Honestly I feel like we should've seen Transformers One underperforming once they started promoting "come see the movie and get a free poster for a movie (Sonic the Hedgehog 3) a few months away from being released." Sometimes you can just read the signs that the studio puts out there that lets us know they're aware their movie is in trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm fascinated by Michael Bay's brain and while I don't think the Transformers movies are his best work by a longshot (go check out 13 Hours and AmbuLAnce, both of which are significantly underrated), they contain enough off-the-wall shit to make them incredibly interesting watches, especially Age of Extinction and Last Knight. The first one is my least favourite just cause it's (relatively) so restrained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Last Knight is legit one of the most beautiful looking blockbuster in the last decade or so (if you can handle the aspect ratio changes, which were not a big deal for me).

Like, is it a serviceable movie unto itself, in a bubble? I don't think it would've reviewed as well as it did if it didn't work on its own. The fact that it's a unique origin story makes its take on Optimus and Megatron free of a lot of baggage, the latter of the two was especially a surprise and carried a pretty compelling and largely organic tale about the divide between two friends paving way to two large scale rival factions.

Skim Beeble Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) This scene from The Last Knight is still to this day one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen in a movie. Edited September 21 by Skim Beeble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
