Transformers: Age of Extinction

[Lakov_Sanite]

lol, lore in a michael bay movie?  Hahahaha, no.  Fuck, he doesn't care about continuity between his own movies and you think he'd give a fuck about anything else?

[Cyrrex]

I've been wondering why he even bothers with all the "spark" business in the first place.  It is stupid as fuck, and it isn't like he cares about the lore anyway.  They should just be super intelligent AIs, and just leave it at that.  Just a bad plot device.

Hell, I just wish someone would make a movie about cars, trucks and planes that simply transform into robots that are still somewhat recognizable as the cars, trucks and planes that they originally came from.  It was the easiest thing in the world for him to pull off, and he blew it.  Sounds like he is going to blow it even more with this latest one.  I don't mind the overdone explosions and the shitty plot, just make your stupid robots cool, asswipe.

You want a GoBots movie?

There were many, many huh? moments in this one. Most notable were the geographic shifts, though nothing quite like stepping out of the Smithsonian into a plane graveyard in Arizona. The one that really got me was useless boyfriend carrying around a laminated card in his wallet with the text of Texas' Romeo and Juliet law. Though Marky Mark was entertaining with most of his quips.

Eh, given the way Useless Girlfriend probably described her father to Useless Boyfriend, I imagine he had the card entirely because he knew he would need it as part of his "Hi, Im dating your daughter and you cant stop me" defense when the two finally met.  They just met under different circumstances then originally predicted.

Personally (and granted, this IS a movie about Transforming CARS), I had a good laugh at a lot of the "OMG" Product Placement "OMG", shots.   Like the totally deliberate slow motion "look how sexy this car is" shot of Lockdown Transforming into a Lamborghini and rolling oh so stylishly past the smouldering metal statue of comic relief guy.   Or the "Beats by Dre didnt totally pay us a shitload of money to plug the Pill there, nope."    Though I did get a good kick out of Rainbow Dash.

If you didn't see the third you missed the giant transformer truck nuts

Truck nuts nothing - I'm hoping Bay hasn't seen this:

[Ironwood]

That's shopped.

Nicola Peltz is the most perfect human being that has ever existed and her mere presence in this movie makes it a masterpiece for the ages.

[Merusk]

I disagree. Made me uncomfortable since she was being so sexualized and was clearly meant to be under 18 as that was a "plot" point.

Doesn't help that my own daughter is only a year younger than her character was meant to be.

Sucks ass ogling a hottie and realizing that chick isn't half your age.

I sometimes feel like an old perv ogling 25 year olds.

[Ironwood]

Yeah, if you're going to start worrying now that we're all advancing well into senility, you might as well just give up.

That said, it bothers me sometimes that my younger male friends will point out someone as 'gorgeous' who just looks like she needs tucked up in her bed and a story read to her. 

 

[Merusk]

Elena's still under 10. It gets so much worse, man.

Eh, after the hour mark she just looked like some rancid tart who just finished up some particularly rough trade. Maybe it was me but Marky Mark and her didn't look more than 5 or so years apart. they really needed someone younger looking for that role. Yeah, I know that teen girls look like that now, but it was just way too distracting in the movie.

Also, I did not know this thing was 3 hours long. I bought my 7yo a large drink and he guzzled it down since he isn't allowed soda except at movies. Luckily there wasn't enough of a plot to have missed anything going to the bathroom.

I still haven't figured out how this movie was 3 hours yet had a plot that would fit on a cocktail napkin while at the same time explained almost nothing.

I can almost see some 20 year old doof dating a 16/17 year old girl doing that though wave it in a cops face if he catches you with your hand up her shirt.

Since my epic return from the outer reaches, I thought I'd post my opinion on this latest TF movie, since I've ranted about the others in the past.

I didn't watch it. Fuck you Michael Bay.
