I might see it because I've seen the others but if I do it will only be if my friends really want to go and I have nothing else going on. Truthfully I only really liked the first film. The second is garbage and the third and fourth are just pretty forgettable.

Transformers: The Last Knight is an incomprehensible pile of scrap. Luckily, there’s an upside — you’ll forget every single stupid frame of this thing the moment you walk out of the theatre.

Full disclosure: We have no idea what the movie is about.

Hey all, I've got some tickets from T-Mobile Tuesdays. You can use these codes to get a ticket for Transformers for just $4 total. That includes even premium showings like 3D or IMAX.

You have to use the Atom app on your phone to buy the tickets. The codes have to be used before the end of Monday night. I think the showtime also has to be before Monday night (and not further in the future), but I'm not sure about that.

It's limit 1 code per transaction, but you can just do multiple transactions if you have multiple people in your party.

Dex's quoted review is at http://www.torontosun.com/2017/06/20...plete-disaster

"Incomprehensible?" Shut up. It all made sense. It's thin and superfluous - like a Saturday morning cartoon. Really ... you don't know what the movie is about? Your amateur snark isn't incomprehensible. But it's illogical. When you have fun ripping a movie to shreds (which is perfectly okay), you're supposed to have a logical grasp on what you're ripping into. I sense they were too busy thinking up how to rip on the movie, and didn't actually pay attention.

If it all made sense for you, can you answer my above questions from the other thread - clarify it for me. Thanks. (full disclosure, I did step out to take a piss at one point, so maybe they did explain something I just missed)

Michael Bay: Spielberg Told Me to Stop Making ‘Transformers’ Movies and ‘I Should’ve Stopped’
https://variety.com/2022/film/news/m...es-1235219815/

Michael Bay’s career is defined in part by his blockbuster “Transformers” movies, but the filmmaker recently admitted to Unilad UK (via IndieWire) that he should’ve stopped making them at a certain point. Bay directed 2007’s “Transformers,” which grossed $709 million worldwide, and then returned for four sequels. Two follow-up films, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” grossed over $1 billion worldwide. According to Bay, even franchise executive producer Steven Spielberg told him to stop after the third movie.

“I made too many of them,” Bay said. “Steven Spielberg said, ‘Just stop at three’. And I said I’d stop. The studio begged me to do a fourth, and then that made a billion too. And then I said I’m gonna stop here. And they begged me again. I should have stopped. [But] they were fun to do.”

Bay’s final “Transformers” outing, the Mark Wahlberg-starring 2017 entry “Transformers: The Last Knight,” bombed with film critics and grossed a franchise low $605 million worldwide.

Bay told Unilad UK that he still remembers just how “scary” it was taking on the original “Transformers” movie.

“It was technology we didn’t know would work, and then it became very successful,” Bay said. “It was the first time digital effects were that highly reflective, so it broke a lot of new ground. It was a fun experience. It made more than [$709 million], that’s a lot of movie tickets and a lot of people that have seen it.”

Bay stepped away from directorial duties on the “Transformers” franchise starting with the 2018 spinoff movie “Bumblebee,” which was directed by “Kubo and the Two Strings” animation director Travis Knight in his live-action debut. The “Transformers” franchise is returning in 2023 with “Transformers: Rise of the Beast.” Set in the year 1994, the upcoming tentpole is directed by “Creed II” helmer Stephen Cable Jr. and stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback and Luna Lauren Vélez.

As for Bay, he’s back in theaters on April 8 with action-thriller “Ambulance.”

Spielberg should have told him to make good Transformers movies.
