Yup...takes a huge dump on the previous ones.

Damning with faint praise?

96% fresh! Only from 26 reviews but still.

I'm so stoked for this now. I'm sure I would have loved it if it was even mediocre.

Since this is coming out on Christmas I'm trying to convince my 6 yo daughter to see it. Any reason that might not be a good idea?

candyrocket786

I think she'll fucking love it!

What are your thoughts for a 4 year old who is bumblebee obsessed?

candyrocket786

There's none of that crude b/s from "Fallen" or any of that sexism in disguise crap from the Bay films.

If I had young kids, I'd take them.

Originally I had bought tickets for my nieces, but they would rather socialize with their friends than spend time with their uncle.

tanman

Thanks a lot! Can't wait!

I'll skip this in theaters but I'll definitely purchase on 4K

still holding at 96%.

I love how the commercials say this is the Transformers youve been waiting for! Only took 6 movies

There's five other Transformers movies?! Man, did Bay screw this franchise up. Someone who was as into Transformers as me should care more about this new one but I barely enjoyed a shred of the first and half-watched the second online and turned it off when I saw the robo-balls.

But if reviews are good and it truly looks like a turn-around, I may take the kids. A mild PG-13, I assume?

RichC2

Apparently yes, mild PG-13. Mind you, most reviews are saying it's "Very entertaining" but aren't calling it a masterpiece or anything like that, which incorrectly gets associated with high rt score movies these days.

DRG

Fun fact: this is higher than the combined RT scores of the last 4 Transformers movies.

19% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
35% Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
18% Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
15% Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

87% Total

I actually thought Dark of the Moon was pretty good. It is kinda funny though that this is the first "fresh" Transformers movie. I wonder if that will be enough to have them ditch Michael Bay.

fujishig

I was under the impression that Bay was done making TF films anyway?

candyrocket786

Yeah... its not a Revenge of The Fallen or Megan Fox PG-13 film.

It sucks that the stigma of Bay and his shitty sequels may actually hurt this film.

DRG

I actually fell asleep during that one. It was an improvement over Revenge of the Fallen, but that's an incredibly low bar.

I haven't seen Last Knight yet, but my biggest problem with 3 and 4 is that they never seemed to end. Dark of the Moon was 2 hrs 37 min. Age of Extinction was 2 hrs 45 min. Why? These movies should be 2 hours max, as there is just not enough story to justify these epic lengths. I think all the movies could have been better with a half hour or more trimmed away.

Just looked it up and Bumblebee is 1 hr 54 min. Sounds about right.

Gunde

So how much is the other robots in this? Just cameos and flashbacks?
I like Bumblebee, but Optimus Prime is the one who will get me to go

raven56706

the first Transformers movie was good. Just mindless fun and explosions. The second one was complete shit
