@LittleRedWolf How do you know about watching Bumblebee, the greatest Transformers movie🍿🎥ever made? Did you saw the greatest Mark Wahlberg movie called Instant Family?
The bumblebee movie had better logic: The Decepticons lied that they were the 'good guys' and framed the autobots as fugitives. Even then the humans trusted neither of them and mainly only wanted in on that sweet technology. Even John Cena pointed out that "They're called Decepticons", and this point was actually acknowledge, but made inconsequential to the potential benefits of Decepticon technology, which is at least more solid than "hrr we think autobots are bad, let's hire literal decepticons who have deceived us time and time again to help hunt them without any checks on their power."
Why not just bring up the obvious plot point from no.3... where Chicago happened as a "lesson" that Decepticons could not be trusted and by getting rid of Autobots who held them in check everyone got screwed... but its ok we all learnt our lesson by the end of 3... ..oh wait.. no we didn't coz 4 happened and now we are at the same problem... but hey at least we learned... oh wait...
The original Witwicky story was abandoned. In Transformers 1, the elder relative, explorer Archibald Witwicky, discovered Megatron and the AllSpark, buried in the Arctic ice. The map to its location, burned into his glasses by Megatron’s navigation system, was a large part of the original plot. The Witwicky’s were tied to the transformers by accident. Fast forward to The Last Knight, the Witwickies are referred to as guardians, who forged and maintained a secret alliance with the Transformers for over a thousand years. No. Just plain NO! Not even close to the storyline.
What I always say, Bay and his team should have had a sit in a coffee shop to discuss a storyline for the upcoming films after the success of the first one.
The Bumblebee movie's cybertron scene shows us that you don't need to be funny to make a good scene.That scene is by far the best in all the movies,watching these two factions fight for their survival is honestly entertaining and badass.
The Bumblebee movie was awesome because Bay had nothing to do with it. Whatever he touches he ruins. Case in point, the new garbage "Rise of the Beasts" movie.
I really feel like brainwashed Optimus should have been a much bigger threat than he was, and he should have been brainwashed for longer. Actually add some tension
I feel like the audience is brainwashed Optimus and we are being told to settle for these shitty transformers movies. Dont listen and dont pay they will make it better. Look at bumblebee
I love how Micheal Bay portrays Autobots so violent and chaotic among themselves that I feel that even if they destroy all Decepticons, they would start fighting among themselves about petty things.
Much worse than that, it is literally the only movie my wife and I walked out of. It made less than zero sense, one minute they are sinking in the ocean, the next they are swinging Excalibur around, WTF...
I feel like this movie is the perfect example of that one friend who won't stop cracking jokes about every little thing, to the point your whole friend group hates 'em.
funnily enough, writers alot infact. that is one of the problems. mb is famous for saying that he "took a bunch of the best writers an locked em up in a room for a week". alot of people write these scripts. instead of having one person with a vision and a coherent story to tell. just a bunch of people who just toss ideas.
@@patrioticcat5768 you can have great writers but they will never write good transformers movie without being a fan or knowing nothing besides the movies.
I had heard that Michael Bay was basically bribed (because he was done after the third movie) into making the last two entries in the transformers series and him making the last two was his middle finger to paramount
Im pretty sure it was, I heard that in an interview that he was done after 3 and he wanted to go on and focus on his other projects, but paramount wanted more money
Also, what filmento failed to adress here, is that he thinks everything with The Last Knight is Michael Bay’s fault. When he says all the multiple plot points for example is all just MB shoving everything into the movie. When in fact it was producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura (producer on all TF films and sort of a showrunner) who wanted to cram everything into this one movie. Michael Bay and the writers room wanted to make different movies covering the King Arthur mythos, Bumblebee in WW2 and evil Optimus vs the Quintessions. But Lorenzo rushed him to make everything into this movie. The same could be said for the runtime. It was supposed to be 3hr, and that would make it way more cohesive. But them Paramount freaked out when it got leaked and pushed Bay to make it shorter. So it is a bit like the Justice League version. I just hoped Filmento could have done a bit more research on this, when at least this time not EVERYTHING is Michael Bay’s fault like he says in this vid.
As a family tradition, my father and I saw this film in theaters. We literally left with a headache and I genuinely couldn't remember the plot after having JUST seen it.
Me and my father likes watching movies as one of our bondings, we absolutely favored the transformer series and when these god awful "things" came, we just straight up never talked how terrible it id
Yeah, I like how the first 3 films were somehow watchable but the action gives me headaches because of the designs of the transformers, then they make cleaner looking transformers yet the plot is so fucking dumb that I wanna write these movies myself or just end it with dotm
@@lalkiran1950 continuity is shit. That's what bay thinks. He loves bayhem and boobs and butts. I am tired. This franchise needs writers from the cartoon shows.
@@hawk5394 then how the fuck did he just arrive on Earth in his own spin-off? also we are meant to believe that he was fighting nazis then acting like an actual child in Bumblebee 2018
It can't even have a payoff. They showed that Unicron is the Earth. How can you have characters ON THE EARTH fight A TRANSFORMED EARTH. One question that writers couldn't figure out in the entire script writing phase while audiences figured it out in literal seconds.
@@vise_atoxity8083 Uhm, I believe you kind of misunderstood him. He mentioned Transformers PRIME, an animated series, handling the Unicron plot competently. Not the Last Knight.
You know what drives me completely insane about these movies? I have been a transformers fan since childhood, and I love the franchise. However, to the mass public, these movies are apparently all the transformers franchise is, and I absolutely hate that. The more and more I think about it, the more and more these movies infuriate me so much. The more you watch the cartoons, read the comics, or play the video games, the more you realize that those would've made a better film series than what we got. And what really worries me is that is the feeling that these movies turn against the transformers franchise, which they shouldn't! Because, transformers is an amazing franchise, with so much lore and stories that'd be perfect for a live action film series. Just not this! Not this abysmal, wasted opportunity.
Optimus Prime: “Bumblebee? Your Voice, I have not heard that since Cybertron fell.” Also Optimus Prime: **Allows Bumblebee to speak in the first movie AFTER Cybertron Fell**
I think its described in the games Fall of Cybertron and War for Cybertron. There are gameplay videos which entirely describe the events. I think Bay should've stocked to that story. Its so deep and the characters are relatable.
@@username-yc3bd yeah, those were. The game experience, even when I was just watching a 4 hour long gameplay was awesome. That script must be simply be put to action. It would make an awesome series or sth, if not crammed into a movie
@@littlemisseevee2309 I got back into the series in 2018 after Bumblebee came out, which gave me hope that Michael's damage can still be undone. However, many others, like yourself, have turned away, and the recent Netflix show is not enough to bring people back.
@@dkkanofkash8798 yeah but I didnt really fall out of it because of bay, sorry if I implied it, I just kinda lost interest, but when I saw this in my recommended all I could think is “there’s a fifth?”
@@mynamejacob8678 idk I’m a bit torn here cause all movie we see then bantering back and forth so hearing him pay his respects that way fit his character. Now if they were modeled after Batman and Alfred it wouldn’t make sense. But at the same time I don’t mind some good banter I wish they would have been taken more seriously at the same time.
I think the perfect example of how Michael Bay stopped caring was during a behind the scenes featurette, when a producer said the only reason they brought Barricade back was because "kids liked him."
About half way through production they sent a poll out on TFW (transformers world forums). Basically like the biggest transformers fan site on the interenet, anyway they asked who they should bring back. Everyone agreed barricade because he hadn’t been killed off and his death in Dotm was ambiguous enough to believe he hadn’t died. Well in the film bonus content they literally said they did it for kids and had no mention of him not dying, they just said they brought him back for no reason. Just pure shitting on ACTUAL fans of not only the transformers franchise, but the bay films themselves. Just no effort whatsoever. That’s why everyone hates the last knight. Bayformers fans and regular folks.
- Unnecessary sequel? Check. - Soft rebooting a franchise with new characters? Check. - Trying to lure old fans solely by brand recognition? Check. - Tied to a line of products outside the movies? Check. - Shameless China pandering? Check. - Pretends to be edgy but plays it safe to not upset anyone? Check. - Jingling the keys for your audience in the form of explosions, slo-mo shots, generic "epic" soundtrack and raunchy shots of the main characters? Check. - Hasn't spawned any good memes? Check. Yup. They're the worst.
Michael Bay was all like: "You know something, I just don't give a damn." And proceeds to just throw everything at this movie that turned it into such a convoluted mess.
@EnderGlitch They did. With the Bumblebee movie, it was confirmed a reboot in 2019. The next movie is supposed to be not connected to the first five live-action movies either.
Gotta say I thought Age of Extinction was actually pretty cool, wasn't perfect by any means but it felt alright to me. Lockdown was one of the best parts imo. But then you get this and.... oof, what were they thinking.
Okay but let's be real here for a second; Optimus Prime riding a mechanical three-headed dragon while wielding a giant sword into battle is one of those things that is ridiculously stupid but also incredibly awesome at the same time
@@izukumidoriya8224 For most of the movie, yes, but the beginning with the medieval ancestry I would've never guessed to be in a transformers movie tbh. So if i walked in and saw someone watching that, I wouldn't have assumed it was transformers either.
@@amazingamari4009 but u should at least stay to watch because those knight and medieval scenes show transformers and it’s been hinted that the transformers are more than just robots their knights or guardians or etc and it don’t mean it’s nonsense these people are liars
Michael Bay: Yeah, let's kill that guy Ratchet. Who cares if he helped save the Earth from the Decepticons in the past movies I directed Also Michael Bay: All Decepticons must be incarcerated and not killed because LOL
Bay while making TLK: Bay: "Ok, I don't want to waste my time on thinking of this plotpoint and that, so just write whatever." The writers: "But there should be a logical rea-" Bay: "Dew it."
18:15 You know, I didn't realize just how little Michael Bay cared for this movie until you showed us that completely unedited clip of that action sequence. Aspect ratio isn't necessarily a creative thing. It can be, but doing the technical work of maintaining it if you don't care about it is the bare minimum of film editing. That action sequence really hammered it in for me just how little shits Michael Bay gives; absolutely zilch.
Not only that, but these "try hard to be badass" soldiers of Galvatron die like bitches. But hey, one of them robbed the bank, so cool (at least whoever wrote this try to convince us of this).
This is so sad. As a keen G1 transformer fan, it makes me so upset to see my favourite characters reduced to nothing and have personalities thinner then paper.
Same here. Optimus with lips and blinking eyes? Starscream, my favorite Deception, was a short, wide little sniveling loser. Devastator? Looked like a bulldog and was taken down by two stupid, joke cracking twins then never existed in G1. Absolutely garbage.
@@kingschwag4208 uh you do know devastator got killed from jets shotting a missile at him right? Mudflao only broke his eye but skid and mudflap ddint kill devastator
keeping in mind, the way they introduce those decepticons, feels like we are supposed to know them from before. In suicide squad, we know each of those villains, so it makes sense for them to each have their special intro.
I can’t stand this movies constant aspect ratio changing. One moment it’s an IMAX frame, then the next is 2:00:1 frame, and then is the usual 2:39:1. When movies do that for no reason, it angers me.
I think it was a case of pick up the nearest camera, not bother to look at what type of frames it shoots in and Bay simply yelling "ROLL CAMERA AND ACTION!!!"
@@superomegaprimemk2 I would understand if Bay wanted to have multiple angles for the same take, but it's not even a scene difference. It changes from shot to shot.
Never understood how the Transformers movies were too heavily human involved. Its right there in the name Transformers. In the animated series there where whole arcs that didnt even involve humans. he should have just stuck to the drama and stories involving the Transformers.
I imagine it's a choice related to the action: it's better for a big blockbuster movie to have giant robots fight from the perspective of the humans, to make it seem grander. And also because, if you did that, you'd have to develop them a lot more for the audience to relate, and the producers didn't want to go through the effort of that and just slapped a bunch of generic human characters as the protagonists instead.
In contrast to say Godzilla. The transformers can actually talk. They can show emotion. They actually get all this talent but they just won't let the robots take the lead. Watching clips for the films, the Transformers can clearly hold the audience attention. We don't need the hot chick or the screaming man boy. Actually some of the humans Iike Lennox could totally stick around. They are useful and I'd be more intrigued in seeing that group and the transformers interact as equals. I think it's more that Bay just wouldn't change it up. I think other directors would(and did) in Bumblebee.
A lot of it has to do with cost. All that CGI takes time and money, because it is a live action movie at its core, rather than fully animated. Probably part of the reason why the robots are made up of jagged parts is so that they can cut corners during the fight sequences and not have it be apparent. If I recall correctly, Bay himself stated that one of the reasons product placement is so prevalent is that it allows for more robots and more fight sequences. That product placement aspect applies to organizations as well. Showing Chinese things in a positive light makes the movie more appealing to Chinese investors and no doubt gets some access for locations. Meanwhile, the US military likes movies that show them in a positive light, seeing them as a recruitment tool. And even with that, the film makers still look to cut corners where they can, like in how they used a sequence from The Island and added CGI to it to use in the Transformer franchise.
@@Tanknuggets217 Since then, he finds himself pretty much stranded on Earth like the Autobots. See, in TF1 he just thawed from the ice/holding cell below the Hoover Dam, so his view of the tiny little humans was all new, in RotF, he saw the fall of his mentor at the hands of Optimus while assisted by humans, in DotM a similar thing with Sentinel (while not his mentor, but still a thing), he kinda started to "respect" those tiny little creatures. He might still be hell bent on conquerring Earth or rebuilding Cybertron, or whatever his ultimate goal is, but he might as well find humans as a power to be reconned with. They managed to kill most of the Autobots and imprison his fellow Decepticons on their own towards the 5th movie, so might be a thing to consider, if you're helping "your god" to rebuild Cybertron and need your fellas to aid you, that you'll be asking politely.
It amazes me how Michael Bay thought this was OK. Optimus is shown in a picture fighting a war in his transformers 3 form (check his stomach). Even though he only arrived on earth in 2007. And he had a different form in that movie.
Are we not going to talk about how none of whatever even happened in the plot mattered in the end? Optimus just showed up out of nowhere and oneshot the bad guy because no one else could
one of my biggest gripes of the movie is how michael bay tried to “modernize” the transformers design. the original cartoons had bright colors and striking designs made to clearly distinguish between characters and clear cut fight scenes. these movies just make them all grey CG abominations where you can’t even tell which is which in a fight
Not joking... I was sick because of it.... If i wouldn't watched the film with my 12 years old cousin, i would walked out from the cinema after the first 35 minutes
Watching this video, I repeatedly had moments of: "I swear I saw this movie", followed by: "I remember nothing about this scene", then "oh yeah, I def saw that". It just shows how remarkably unmemorable this film was. The entire movie is a giant "shrug" but then again, I felt the franchise nose dove after the first one and even the first one was kinda garbage but it was different and fresh at the time so it was fun.
@@ltb1345 I respectfully disagree.The first one was a spectacle for sure and a new flavour of one at that but beyond that I haven't felt a single one has been very good.
It’s a shame bay is devolving his films first transformers was pretty damn good film 2nd film glaring issues DSoTM was decent and 4th 5th were just why
@@chadderbug7587 And that was a mistake because the movies got worse and worse as they went on, ROTF should of been delayed to get pass the writers strike but its obvious the people writting the scripts simply do not care about the property one bit and are only in it for the money, there are far better fan stop motion films out there but the offical stuff, I think has gone downhill after the Prime series, its pretty much Hasbro saying "Here is a bunch of new figures based on Transformers, give us your money and shut up!"
On one side, yes! On the other hand, I like how everyone honestly interacts like we would in real life in these situations as opposed to "hyper formulaic, everyone has a particular purpose and caricature to play to feed into the plot & protag". In the end, Bay didn't want to work on more Transformers, and clearly Paramount wasn't gonna take no nor change leads for whatever reason. If anything, Bay helped show what's wrong with Hollywood.
@@g.d.graham2446 Wrong. He's still responsible. He's an A list director and producent, even if a movie studio (Paramount) or a toy company (Hasbro) force him to make a film he doesn't want, he's still obliged to comply and make it the best way he can. Doing shit on purpose just shows, how he as a person doesn't care anymore and what a joke as a director and producer he became. Imagine you're working in a big company and your boss comes with a new product, that you don't like. Would you purposely sabotage it? No, it wouldn't be ethical. You'de still end up doing your best to make a product the best way you can, even if you personally don't like it.
4:40 when I went to go see this with my father we thought we were in the wrong theater and nearly left just before the transformers showed up on screen.
@@rajyavardhansingh4491 we were checking the movies playing. We realized it had to be because literally nothing else was playing at that specific time.
12:13 this kinda begs the question. Why would a Decepticon rob a bank that stores HUMAN money? I honestly expected an oil rig, a power plant, a water dam, or a missile silo to be a Decepticon's target, because energy and fuel to convert into Energon, which is the lifeblood of ALL Cybertronians, and Decepticons are greedy? A missile silo is practically free real estate since they can stockpile on weapons and payloads. But a goddamn bank...?
Might be just for fun? Honestly just look at Mohawk, he looks, like he's got a few loose screws in his head, he'd definitely do anything to piss off human authorities, just for the fun of it. Not everything has to have a valid reason.
I don’t think you can blame MB entirely for these flaws. I’m fairly certain that the Transformer Franchise Writers Room consists of 4-6 eight year old boys playing with some actual Transformer toys, with two adults in the room. One to run interference when the inevitable fights break out when one boy decides his Autobot just killed a Decepticon and the other protests No He Didn’t (Yes He Did, No He Didn’t, bwah, bwah , BWAHHH etc) and the other to transcribe everything, verbatim. Then they just slap a title on it, call it a Shooting Script and ship it to MB.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX i don't know why i pressed x so many times,because i have no doubt. i'm pretty sure this is a lie.
Stop it. Hopkins praised Bay and said he loved working with him. If you watched the movie, you saw also how fun he had playing this role. He is an award winning actor played so many tough roles in his life span, why can’t he have fun late in his career? Is there an contract which states that well known actors can’t be in fun blockbuster movies?! The Transformers franchise has brought in nearly 5 billion at the global box office, Bay is also one of the most profitable filmmakers ever. Even if you don’t like it, doesn’t mean most others does as well, as proven by the large fanbase and extreme amount of money these movies have gotten.
@@believer4002 stop it. Hopkins stopped caring long ago. He didn't know he'd be having fun before he signed on, just what kind of pay he'd get. And popularity isn't always a sign of quality
@@believer4002 The Last Knight became the lowest grossing film in the Michael Bay Transformers franchise. There's a reason why Paramount wanted to do something else with the franchise when they worked on Bumblebee.
@@michaelstrong5383 still made over 600$ mill globally. But ofc I get that people stopped coming for this one. Who could expect a fifth movie about transforming robots directed by one of the most controversial directors causing fatigue? Young audience gets tired quick and want something else. People got tired of Transformers, what’s the problem? Two of the movies in the franchise brought over 1 billion dollars and are on top30 most grossed movies of all time. You can call every single person who spent money on this franchise a dumb person, but I’m sure you also spent some bucks on this. It is so popular to hop on the «hate-bandwagon» and be part of the «flow» when you hate big movies. I especially hate people criticizing without having seen it, or seeing it on a crappy illegal site. This should be experienced on the biggest theatre possible.
13:08 which is especially wild to me because MB made a whole big deal about how he has a writers room with like 14 writers specifically to keep track of the continuity and lore for the movies.
10 minutes into this video, I actually realized that I HAVE seen this movie. Though I hadn’t. Didn’t remember it. And it took 10 minutes of this video for me to remember I have seen it...
I wonder how i managed to watch this movie being sober:) . But there is so much shit going there, you cannot fix holes in the story with anything though.
Thats some nice choice of words.. yes i too can remember the first three movies vividly ..they had memorable scenes.. well these new ones cant say which one i am watching... The china dinosaur ones or the horns poking out ones or bumblebee vs optimus ones
@@Gadget-Walkmen The plots for his movies also seem very dumbed-down and convenient, so the characters never actually seem to figure anything out for themselves. Instead, everything is just easy and laid out for them each time.
Great vid. Working under Bay on these movies must have been a nightmare for a lot of people. I have to assume there was a good amount of staff looking for better jobs and a way out at the first opportunity. If the leader doesn't care it's almost impossible for anyone else to.
I distinctly remember almost falling asleep a few times when watching this movie in theaters. I've NEVER felt drowsy when watching a movie in theaters before or after.
Here's a idea, Michael Bay should make movie with real-life Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. It would be only visual action with goofy jokes as Mike does and narration of David Attenborough. It would be most action packed nature documentary of all time.
But elongated commercials can be good, you see. One could argue that the whole MCU was just a series of elongated commercials to Infinity War... And to all merchandise with the Marvel brand slapped on it...
@@DonVigaDeFierro yes, but as nerdstalgic put it, this isnt how you make a movie. this is how you make a commercial. Some marvel movies put being a movie before being a commercial, while others just set up infinity war first, and then build a (normally weak) plot after that
For me this is very sad... I first fell in love with the first Transformers movie. A realistic, crude and well executed action movie. Since then... downhill with no brakes.
SIR Anthony Hopkins says “yes, but you wanna know don’t ya, duuuude.” in this movie. It’s fucking bizarre and I’m surprised they convinced him to say all the shit his character does.
I remember seeing it in a trailer and just being super fucking weirded out by it it's just... why? Throughout the movie he doesn't seem like the kinda guy who would call people dude at all it's so out of place. That being said he had the best performance in this movie. He always seemed like he was having a lot of fun with it which is always nice :)
GIANT BAGS OF MONEY! It is the only way this makes any sense that he is in this abortion of a movie. So glad I missed this one and the others after the first.
13:45 I find it funny that he talks about the audience getting pulled out of the experience while at the same time he pulls us out of the video by announcing a sponsorship, he probably did it on purpose though.
Has Filmento ever talked about how Jurassic Park is an example of film perfection? If he hasn’t, then that movie would be my suggestion for a future video.
8:00 I may be only 18 but I think that made the moment even better because it showed that Cogman and... the British guy had a deep emotional relationship even if it was covered with sarcasm, formality and harsh words. Yes, it's kinda funny and detracts from the somberness of the moment but instead makes it bittersweet. This Transformer that served the old man's family for generations respects most the humblest of the lineage, the one that lived for but a singular moment. And Cogman, dropping all formalities, expresses his respect to the corpse of the man. I liked that.
Finally, someone said something about this. I already felt that something was off after Revenge of the Fallen. It's like, everything was hastened. Not giving you room to breathe. Feels like u can't really see deeper into the characters. I did not put much attention to this just to save my good childhood memories. I grow up being a diehard fan of animated series of transformers. I hate to say this. I'm sorry for saying these things. More especially that I don't really pay to watch these movies. I still like the movie though personally. But as we grow up, we become open to opinions too.
the inconsistencies started since tf2, honestly joke's on everyone who thought this was gonna be a serious franchise, he just mildly tried with the first one and then just continued to make 3 hour long ads for kids
I would like to see Christopher Nolan's take on this one, what he could do with the concepts and characters intrigues me. We need better Transformers movies, he might be an interesting choice.
I'm only spending money on a Transformers movie if humans are removed entirely. I don't see Christopher Nolan being on board with that, but if it interests some big-name director, that will appease the greedy Hollywood execs.
Maybe the eventual vids on 1 and 3 will be a bit more positive...

@@patrioticcat5768 you can have great writers but they will never write good transformers movie without being a fan or knowing nothing besides the movies.
I had heard that Michael Bay was basically bribed (because he was done after the third movie) into making the last two entries in the transformers series and him making the last two was his middle finger to paramount
That would explain so much
Im pretty sure it was, I heard that in an interview that he was done after 3 and he wanted to go on and focus on his other projects, but paramount wanted more money
Also, what filmento failed to adress here, is that he thinks everything with The Last Knight is Michael Bay’s fault. When he says all the multiple plot points for example is all just MB shoving everything into the movie. When in fact it was producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura (producer on all TF films and sort of a showrunner) who wanted to cram everything into this one movie. Michael Bay and the writers room wanted to make different movies covering the King Arthur mythos, Bumblebee in WW2 and evil Optimus vs the Quintessions. But Lorenzo rushed him to make everything into this movie. The same could be said for the runtime. It was supposed to be 3hr, and that would make it way more cohesive. But them Paramount freaked out when it got leaked and pushed Bay to make it shorter. So it is a bit like the Justice League version. I just hoped Filmento could have done a bit more research on this, when at least this time not EVERYTHING is Michael Bay’s fault like he says in this vid.
I heard Michael Bay is just shit. The 3rd was horrible too so unless he was preemptively sabotaging them I think the mystery is over lol
Yeah, that's giving Bay way too much credit. Guy's just a self indulgent idiot who can't think more than 2 steps ahead.

You know what drives me completely insane about these movies? I have been a transformers fan since childhood, and I love the franchise. However, to the mass public, these movies are apparently all the transformers franchise is, and I absolutely hate that. The more and more I think about it, the more and more these movies infuriate me so much. The more you watch the cartoons, read the comics, or play the video games, the more you realize that those would've made a better film series than what we got. And what really worries me is that is the feeling that these movies turn against the transformers franchise, which they shouldn't! Because, transformers is an amazing franchise, with so much lore and stories that'd be perfect for a live action film series. Just not this! Not this abysmal, wasted opportunity.

I think the point he was trying to make was that it's not a problem on it's own, it's when its constantly happening that it becomes an issue.
I think the perfect example of how Michael Bay stopped caring was during a behind the scenes featurette, when a producer said the only reason they brought Barricade back was because "kids liked him."
About half way through production they sent a poll out on TFW (transformers world forums). Basically like the biggest transformers fan site on the interenet, anyway they asked who they should bring back. Everyone agreed barricade because he hadn’t been killed off and his death in Dotm was ambiguous enough to believe he hadn’t died. Well in the film bonus content they literally said they did it for kids and had no mention of him not dying, they just said they brought him back for no reason. Just pure shitting on ACTUAL fans of not only the transformers franchise, but the bay films themselves. Just no effort whatsoever. That’s why everyone hates the last knight.

Never understood how the Transformers movies were too heavily human involved. Its right there in the name Transformers. In the animated series there where whole arcs that didnt even involve humans. he should have just stuck to the drama and stories involving the Transformers.
I imagine it's a choice related to the action: it's better for a big blockbuster movie to have giant robots fight from the perspective of the humans, to make it seem grander. And also because, if you did that, you'd have to develop them a lot more for the audience to relate, and the producers didn't want to go through the effort of that and just slapped a bunch of generic human characters as the protagonists instead.
In contrast to say Godzilla. The transformers can actually talk. They can show emotion. They actually get all this talent but they just won't let the robots take the lead.
Watching clips for the films, the Transformers can clearly hold the audience attention. We don't need the hot chick or the screaming man boy.
Actually some of the humans Iike Lennox could totally stick around. They are useful and I'd be more intrigued in seeing that group and the transformers interact as equals.
I think it's more that Bay just wouldn't change it up. I think other directors would(and did) in Bumblebee.
A lot of it has to do with cost. All that CGI takes time and money, because it is a live action movie at its core, rather than fully animated. Probably part of the reason why the robots are made up of jagged parts is so that they can cut corners during the fight sequences and not have it be apparent. If I recall correctly, Bay himself stated that one of the reasons product placement is so prevalent is that it allows for more robots and more fight sequences. That product placement aspect applies to organizations as well. Showing Chinese things in a positive light makes the movie more appealing to Chinese investors and no doubt gets some access for locations. Meanwhile, the US military likes movies that show them in a positive light, seeing them as a recruitment tool. And even with that, the film makers still look to cut corners where they can, like in how they used a sequence from The Island and added CGI to it to use in the Transformer franchise.
If the humans weren’t there then it would have lost it’s fast pacing and that is the reason why like these movies
@@Axterix13 that would be a good point if whole movies weren’t made with CGI, and for lower budgets.
That scene where Megatron politely asks the goverment for his friends is fucking hilarious
Exactly because in tf1 he flicked a human
@@Tanknuggets217 Since then, he finds himself pretty much stranded on Earth like the Autobots. See, in TF1 he just thawed from the ice/holding cell below the Hoover Dam, so his view of the tiny little humans was all new, in RotF, he saw the fall of his mentor at the hands of Optimus while assisted by humans, in DotM a similar thing with Sentinel (while not his mentor, but still a thing), he kinda started to "respect" those tiny little creatures. He might still be hell bent on conquerring Earth or rebuilding Cybertron, or whatever his ultimate goal is, but he might as well find humans as a power to be reconned with. They managed to kill most of the Autobots and imprison his fellow Decepticons on their own towards the 5th movie, so might be a thing to consider, if you're helping "your god" to rebuild Cybertron and need your fellas to aid you, that you'll be asking politely.

And Steve Jablonsky's fifth amazing Transformers score in a row.
It amazes me how Michael Bay thought this was OK. Optimus is shown in a picture fighting a war in his transformers 3 form (check his stomach). Even though he only arrived on earth in 2007. And he had a different form in that movie.
While we all know how bad these films can get at times, I think we can all agree on one thing:
The musical score is awesome
Also the cgi and Optimus’s lines are great
Are we not going to talk about how none of whatever even happened in the plot mattered in the end? Optimus just showed up out of nowhere and oneshot the bad guy because no one else could

Might be just for fun? Honestly just look at Mohawk, he looks, like he's got a few loose screws in his head, he'd definitely do anything to piss off human authorities, just for the fun of it. Not everything has to have a valid reason.

The writing room must have been filled with "Dude, what if-" moments.
Am I the only one who didn’t notice Merlin is played by Stanley Tucci
Me too
thought i recognized him....
I don’t think you can blame MB entirely for these flaws. I’m fairly certain that the Transformer Franchise Writers Room consists of 4-6 eight year old boys playing with some actual Transformer toys, with two adults in the room. One to run interference when the inevitable fights break out when one boy decides his Autobot just killed a Decepticon and the other protests No He Didn’t (Yes He Did, No He Didn’t, bwah, bwah , BWAHHH etc) and the other to transcribe everything, verbatim.
Then they just slap a title on it, call it a Shooting Script and ship it to MB.

@@jjizzle6923 You're not into Transformers are you?
And to think Michael Bay roped in Sir Anthony Hopkins into this. GOD DAMN!
His role as Odin in the Thor films had more dignity than this.
Stop it. Hopkins praised Bay and said he loved working with him. If you watched the movie, you saw also how fun he had playing this role. He is an award winning actor played so many tough roles in his life span, why can’t he have fun late in his career? Is there an contract which states that well known actors can’t be in fun blockbuster movies?! The Transformers franchise has brought in nearly 5 billion at the global box office, Bay is also one of the most profitable filmmakers ever. Even if you don’t like it, doesn’t mean most others does as well, as proven by the large fanbase and extreme amount of money these movies have gotten.
@@believer4002 stop it. Hopkins stopped caring long ago. He didn't know he'd be having fun before he signed on, just what kind of pay he'd get. And popularity isn't always a sign of quality
@@believer4002 The Last Knight became the lowest grossing film in the Michael Bay Transformers franchise. There's a reason why Paramount wanted to do something else with the franchise when they worked on Bumblebee.
@@michaelstrong5383 still made over 600$ mill globally. But ofc I get that people stopped coming for this one. Who could expect a fifth movie about transforming robots directed by one of the most controversial directors causing fatigue? Young audience gets tired quick and want something else. People got tired of Transformers, what’s the problem? Two of the movies in the franchise brought over 1 billion dollars and are on top30 most grossed movies of all time. You can call every single person who spent money on this franchise a dumb person, but I’m sure you also spent some bucks on this. It is so popular to hop on the «hate-bandwagon» and be part of the «flow» when you hate big movies. I especially hate people criticizing without having seen it, or seeing it on a crappy illegal site. This should be experienced on the biggest theatre possible.
13:08 which is especially wild to me because MB made a whole big deal about how he has a writers room with like 14 writers specifically to keep track of the continuity and lore for the movies.
well he does but doesn't mean he focuses on it. He is aware of how shit it is going to be but either doesn't care or cuts it out for other stuff.
10 minutes into this video, I actually realized that I HAVE seen this movie. Though I hadn’t. Didn’t remember it. And it took 10 minutes of this video for me to remember I have seen it...
ME TOOOOOO
I wonder how i managed to watch this movie being sober:) . But there is so much shit going there, you cannot fix holes in the story with anything though.
this
Thats some nice choice of words.. yes i too can remember the first three movies vividly ..they had memorable scenes.. well these new ones cant say which one i am watching... The china dinosaur ones or the horns poking out ones or bumblebee vs optimus ones
I can barely remember what happened in it-something about Unicron being the earth? And horrible aspect ratios?
Bumblebee: is a young bot
Also him: has the voice of a British 70 year old
he sounds like a old man and I am like, "He is young for an Autobot why just why." Half the time I think Michal Bay forgot bumblebee was young
They fixed that problem in the Last Knight and Bumblebee
@@NCTStudio 🤦🏾♂️ he never had his own voice back in the last 4 films
@@MountainBearOfTheDew 🤦🏾♂️he had his voice in the bumblebee movie
@@paintbarrel yeah, so?
"If ADHD had manifested a physical form."
Isn't that just Michael Bay?
Its also JJ Abrams.
@@NexusKin How?
@@Gadget-Walkmen Most of his movies feel like the pace is very fast with not enough time for the characters to have some breathing room.
@@NexusKin that’s just fast paced movies and there’s nothing inherently wrong about that unless if it’s done badly. It could be done in a great way.
@@Gadget-Walkmen The plots for his movies also seem very dumbed-down and convenient, so the characters never actually seem to figure anything out for themselves. Instead, everything is just easy and laid out for them each time.
Great vid. Working under Bay on these movies must have been a nightmare for a lot of people. I have to assume there was a good amount of staff looking for better jobs and a way out at the first opportunity. If the leader doesn't care it's almost impossible for anyone else to.
The first Transformers movie is a masterpiece compared to the rest
To be honest
That first one may have some pretty bad acting, but atleast it did a great job to make the transformers into live action
Indeed
The TF Movie from 1986 was the B E S T.
All are masterpieces
Tho my fav is dark of the moon , i agree
Basically, Michael Bay is that old dude trying to be "hip with the kids" too hard.
I distinctly remember almost falling asleep a few times when watching this movie in theaters.
I've NEVER felt drowsy when watching a movie in theaters before or after.
age of extinction was alright. last night was a total bust. other three were pretty good imo
As a kid i loved the franchise, and seeing it become the clusterfck it has become is.... quite the ride
Couldn’t agree more. ILM’s work is the only reason I watch them occasionally. The rest is just awful.
The transformers films should have just ended after dark of the moon
It did 😐
@@Antwannnn it didnt
I'm glad people still remember the Xbox 360 avatar images
You what it should have been better? If Michael Bay didn't direct the first Transformers movie in the first place, it could've been better.
Could be
With a name such as Michael bay, it’s kinda obvious where the movie will end up. Down and buried below the bay
Oh yah
Songbird
He was just a producer still
Here's a idea, Michael Bay should make movie with real-life Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. It would be only visual action with goofy jokes as Mike does and narration of David Attenborough.
It would be most action packed nature documentary of all time.
down by the bay where the watermelons grow
HE DIDN'T WRITE THE MOVIE.
This movie is still criminally underrated to this day
we all know that this is an elongated commercial, right?
Also the new love interest is basically just British Megan Fox
Wait really
But elongated commercials can be good, you see.
One could argue that the whole MCU was just a series of elongated commercials to Infinity War... And to all merchandise with the Marvel brand slapped on it...
@@DonVigaDeFierro yes, but as nerdstalgic put it, this isnt how you make a movie. this is how you make a commercial. Some marvel movies put being a movie before being a commercial, while others just set up infinity war first, and then build a (normally weak) plot after that
But so was the Lego movie
For me this is very sad... I first fell in love with the first Transformers movie. A realistic, crude and well executed action movie. Since then... downhill with no brakes.
SIR Anthony Hopkins says “yes, but you wanna know don’t ya, duuuude.” in this movie. It’s fucking bizarre and I’m surprised they convinced him to say all the shit his character does.
I remember seeing it in a trailer and just being super fucking weirded out by it it's just... why? Throughout the movie he doesn't seem like the kinda guy who would call people dude at all it's so out of place. That being said he had the best performance in this movie. He always seemed like he was having a lot of fun with it which is always nice :)
GIANT BAGS OF MONEY! It is the only way this makes any sense that he is in this abortion of a movie. So glad I missed this one and the others after the first.
13:45 I find it funny that he talks about the audience getting pulled out of the experience while at the same time he pulls us out of the video by announcing a sponsorship, he probably did it on purpose though.
Has Filmento ever talked about how Jurassic Park is an example of film perfection? If he hasn’t, then that movie would be my suggestion for a future video.
"You speak now!?"
"Yes, but actually no."
"You speak now?"
"He speaks now!"
"...He speaks now..."
6:47 I think the fact that she could run across THOSE cobblestones in THOSE heels is really more impressive than driving. Good points all mate!
I almost fell asleep in the theater during this. Should've left, but tried to power through
8:00 I may be only 18 but I think that made the moment even better because it showed that Cogman and... the British guy had a deep emotional relationship even if it was covered with sarcasm, formality and harsh words. Yes, it's kinda funny and detracts from the somberness of the moment but instead makes it bittersweet. This Transformer that served the old man's family for generations respects most the humblest of the lineage, the one that lived for but a singular moment. And Cogman, dropping all formalities, expresses his respect to the corpse of the man. I liked that.
Finally, someone said something about this. I already felt that something was off after Revenge of the Fallen. It's like, everything was hastened. Not giving you room to breathe. Feels like u can't really see deeper into the characters. I did not put much attention to this just to save my good childhood memories. I grow up being a diehard fan of animated series of transformers.
I hate to say this. I'm sorry for saying these things. More especially that I don't really pay to watch these movies.
I still like the movie though personally. But as we grow up, we become open to opinions too.
LMAO! That "Martha" caught me completely off-guard!🤣🤣
Martha is now an iconic scene
18:17 guy at the studio: So how many cameras do you want for one scene Michael Bay: yes
the inconsistencies started since tf2, honestly joke's on everyone who thought this was gonna be a serious franchise, he just mildly tried with the first one and then just continued to make 3 hour long ads for kids
He also kind of saved Transformers if I remember correctly. If it wasn't for 2007, I don't know if Transformers would still be around.
@@metroplexgrimlock7089 it would still be around
Just because something’s for kids doesn’t mean it needs to be crap
I would like to see Christopher Nolan's take on this one, what he could do with the concepts and characters intrigues me. We need better Transformers movies, he might be an interesting choice.
Not his style
He wouldn't wanna do that.
Nolan prefers to make film as realistic as possible. While he is pretty good at it, even he will foil a Transformers film as it is not even hsi style.
I'm only spending money on a Transformers movie if humans are removed entirely. I don't see Christopher Nolan being on board with that, but if it interests some big-name director, that will appease the greedy Hollywood execs.
I would see James Cameron or Ridley Scott doing this not Christopher Nolan
“MARTHA!”
