Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes both list 157 minutes for TF4. 5 reviews have trickled in. 3 are positive!

I'm not sure what amazes me more:
The fact that after four tries, Bay still hasn't managed to make an even remotely entertaining film out of this franchise, or the fact that after four tries people STILL swarm to these movies, despite the fact that there hasn't been a good one yet.
I'd really like to see this franchise tackled by another director at this point, with no involvement by Bay at all.

I think there's different angles they could definitely explore withing the franchise but I can't see there being a reboot with a film not resembling something Michael Bay has his stamp on.

Meh. The original cartoon was kiddie fodder. No surprise that the movies are on the same level.

I'd argue that a lot of moviegoers just see this because of Peter Cullen. I know that's far and away the best thing about any of these movies.

You'd be surprised. There's a reason they even bothered getting him to voice Optimus Prime instead of having just anyone do the voice. Hell, I'm still surprised Bay didn't recast the role like he did with Megatron when he insisted that Hugo Weaving had to be the voice.

I can understand the first one being a big hit because of people being curious but if most of them didn't like it the second and then the third wouldn't have made so much money. People just like to bash Michael Bay.

That's because his movies leave much to be desired.

....Oreo-bot. Amazing.
Still haven't seen AoE. Hell, I haven't even seen TF3 aside from some action bits.

In ratio of BS vs. quality movie .... what am I looking at for that movie?
