Well I think you all owe Michael Bay an apology...
Woah, right there.
I wouldn't apologize to him if he finally gave me the transformers movie I always wanted. I like certain things about some of the other films. There's some fun scenes and ideas sprinkled here and there. But if this latest film is a pile of crap, I'm not surprised. Even if Bay wasn't directing, he set this franchise on the path of ludicrousness, and for that, there shall be no forgiveness. None. Not from me. Never.
His idea of a movie is a shot of a tiny thonged out bootie filmed in orange haze and bright light, while someone wearing excessive amounts of jewelry and sweat bites into an orange, fires a glock, and screams "sh*t" in slow motion as the same old fireworks explode everywhere. He may as well call every movie he makes, Extreme Florida 7.
That has nothing to do with Transformers, it never did. We don't just need a new director, we need someone who will openly denounce the aesthetic and narrative choices of Bay and the franchise as it exists right now. Most importantly, somebody with authority needs to make the choice to completely remove the human element entirely. No humans. None, zip, nada, zilch, nunca. No mas. It's enough already. The human element and all the humorous, youthful and emotional baggage that accompanies it have been flat-out drowning the franchise since the beginning.
If making a digital transformers film set on cybertron is too expensive, then let the franchise rest in peace until such a thing becomes more affordable and doable. Until then, there's always war/fall of cybertron.
