Movie Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) - Directed by Michael Bay. Release day June 22!

[peternorth]

The marketing of Age of Extinction was primarily aimed at the Chinese market. It was a phenomenal success there and provided a large portion of its $1b+ box office gross.

The way it was also promoted, with the image of Optimus riding Grimlock's back, was also another master stroke.

Even though I knew it would be shit, the mere presence of the Dinobots, and my favorite transformer in Grimlock, meant that there was no possible way I'm not going to see this film.

And it was an absolute ******* **** tease, they were in it for 5 minutes with **** all background/development (even by Bay film standards, it was ******* ridiculous). But I know it's going to happen all over again in Transformers 5, it will be shit but absolutely I will see it.

it is such a smart move to target China and its inhabitants. i mean its a massive market. last night i was wandering through the shopping centre of shenzhen railway station and there are kids clothing booths everywhere. at the moment its all about superheroes and frozen. $$$$$

i didnt know there were chinese celebs involved in the movie. had to google them just now (using VPN of course). i dont think many or any on bigfooty knew either at time of viewing. but here, yeah certainly.

also yesterday was going through the new territories en route to the border. the damage done to HK during the movie by both sides has all been repaired!

Anecdotally it seems the less blockbusters rely on the American market the dumber they get.

 

[Ry009]

Was I the only one who for a split second read part of the thread title as 'Destroyed by Michael Bay' ?

 

[Cleavy]

Can we have a pre-transformers 1 movie with no humans and the story about the allspark and all that shit. Maybe the cybertronian war? Pls.

So just 100+ min of Michael Bay directed explosions?

 

[NitroFan]

So just 100+ min of Michael Bay directed explosions?

90-120 minutes of explosions and CGI robots fighting would be fine with me. It's the tedious human shit that kills these movies imo.

 

[Sub_Zero]

The **** is this shit...

 

[theyellowsash]

given bays past with horrendous racial stereotyping, im predicting the girl to be called mayflower rushing bullwind and the scooter to be a latino transformer called lopez who loves tacos

 

[Always Ballin]

This should be epic. I'm a big Mike Bay fan myself. Loved Pain and Gain, The Rock, Bad Boys 1 and 2. It seems people can't get enough of Transformers... Simply put, they're great action movies.

 

[Kong]

Who keeps going to these movies?? Please stop.

Yeah, as bad as these type of films are, I have more of an issue with the public than the director.

If idiots keep paying money to see them, then of course they'll keep getting produced.

 

[Kong]

I get the feeling the movies are huge in Asia

Yeah, a bit like Warcraft.

I dare say we'll see more and more of these types of movies; all aesthetics and absolutely no substance.

The Chinese market demands it.

 

[RolandF1]

The **** is this shit...

Overall plot will centre around some previously undisclosed transformer artifact or history that by some miracle relates to Earth and the idiots that inhabit it.

Most likely its going to be that chick's Bumblebee.

 

[manureid]

Have fallen asleep during the last 2, maybe 3 of these. I cannot recall how many have come out. Enjoyed the first one, but have not grabbed me obviously since .

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

They wouldn't keep making this shit if it didn't make money.

 

[Always Ballin]

So ****ing pumped! Nothing beats a Mike Bay summer blockbuster

 

[bourbons]

So ******* pumped! Nothing beats a Mike Bay summer blockbuster

Didn't get a bite the first time hey?

 

[SnakeMan86]

Didn't get a bite the first time hey?

Most have him on ignore, they go straight through to the keeper.

 

[Millky95]

Looks like fun

 

[bourbons]

Looks like sh1t

Sometimes I like to switch my brain off and watch crazy action sequences with heaps of explosions.

And thats why I have the Transformers on Bluray.

I like crazy action sequences as much as the next guy, trouble with Transformers is you can never tell what the fook is going on. Robot designs are way too busy, can't tell who is who, scenes are always shaky-cam bullsh1t. Probably done that way on purpose to save on CG budget.

I've never had that problem

 

[glenferry23]

Did I just see Unicron?

 

[Sub_Zero]

Apparently Hot Rod has a French accent

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Was that Prime killing Bumblebee!! WTF!

 

[glenferry23]

Apparently Hot Rod has a French accent

Yes I noticed that.

I also think that's Nemesis Prime.

Unicron + Optimus = Nemesis.

 

[theyellowsash]

Looks less dumb than the previous few movies at least.

 

[Biggie]

Well I'll be at the movies watching, just like the other 4.
