You guys should do HER (2013), it’s wholesome almost saccharine film, but set in a future that’s nearly dystopian with the way people are connected with their devices. And literally love the AI.

"Be strong enough to be gentle." - Peter Cullen, quoting his war veteran brother regarding what it is to be a hero, and what inspired his voice for Optimus "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!" "YOU DIE! YAARGGH!" - Bayverse Optimus Prime
Optimus being Peaceful after the Decepticons betrayed murdered and destroyed an entire city murdering Millions is just ignorant. You GWunners need to realize this isn’t an 80’s toy commercial lol ROTF give me your face was outta pocket tho
16:03 Michael Bay looking at his abs and saying "What if they were a big robot snake?" is somehow the most accurate thing I've heard about Michael Bay.
"NO OPTIMUS!" - A defenceless transformer begging for his life, moments before Optimus Prime brutally executes him wish a shotgun to the back of the head at point-blank range.
If you ever have trouble realizing how terrible Optimus is just replace him with someone like Captain America brutally murdering people by shooting them in the back of their head and ripping their head still attached to their spine with an axe, predator style.

"No one's ever tilted a room before" You guys remember that life-size Titanic replica set made for Cameron's film? Half that whole set could tilt and be lowered into a massive tank full of water, and even that wasn't the first to have a tilting room. Tilting sets have been a thing since the 1950's, if not even longer ago than that.
@@loonyleper Watch Lindsey Ellis' "The Whole Plate" videos... Mikaela is the best character in these movies, and I say that as both loving praise, and a vitriolic condemnation of everything else about them.
Right? He's like a merciless killing machine in these movies. He's closest in the first movie and Bumblebee, every other movie is all, "GIVE ME YOUR FACE," or, "WE WILL KILL THEM ALL."
Optimus is ruthless monster in the series, what's weird is he begs for mercy when he loses fights but never returns it. The rest of the cast other than Bee are just there to be killed for shock value. The Bay films are so offensive to the value and core of the original series.
@LittleRedRhuari RRR also don't forget in the first movie when they're about to see the coordinates of the cube from the glasses. That whole conversation. Jazz: what about bumblebee? We can't just leave him to die. Optimus: he'll die in vain if we don't accomplish our mission. Bumblebee is a brave soldier. This is what he would've wanted. Ironhide: why are we fighting to save the humans. They're a primitive, violent race. Optimus: were we so different? They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. You all know there's only one way to end this war. We must destroy the cube. If all else fails, i will unite it with the spark in my chest. Ratchet: that's suicide. The cube is raw power. It could destroy you both. Optimus: a necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes. It's been an honor serving with you all. Autobots, roll out! There are some other moments too. Generations of war turned him numbed to killing, which makes sense to me.
He was pretty noble in the first movie. Ready to sacrifice himself and his race for sake of everyone else in the universe. But after he killed Bonecrusher, he grew a blood lust....or an energon lust...

His movie scores of the transformers are some of the best movies scores of all time. No cap! I actually think The Last Knight has the best soundtrack. So many good gems in that.
@@rajarajanmanoharan yeah how is that score so underappreciated?! I literally get goosebumps every time I listen to it. I don’t know any other movie score that has so many solid tracks after tracks. Album is stellar. unfortunately the movie score got edited in wrong ways or not used rightfully according to an interview with the composer, Steve Jablonsky. He said that the full version of the movie (that he watched before Bay/Paramount shortened the runtime) handled the score as he would have wanted.
Fun Fact: John Frazier (the Special Effects Supervisor who is shown in this video) also worked on all 3 Raimi Spider-Man films which makes the bit about the building even more baffling!
"She didn't appreciate me for who i am"... why do I feel that line explaining michaela's absence was Bay's personal allegory for why he didnt like Megan Fox?🤣
I always thought it would of been a great character moment for Sam to realize that he’s unhappy with his life and job because he doesn’t feel like he’s making a difference anymore, and him realizing that fighting off aliens and being a hero is his true calling.
Sounded more like he was jealous that he isn't as recognized for his role in saving the world as he hoped to be. In the 2nd film he told Bumblebee to leave him be while in college, but here he complains Bee doesn't visit him anymore.
Kyle Gmerek well yeah i thought.. hypothetically of course since michael bay just did what he does, anyhow, in the first two movies he wants nothing to do with Transformers but here I thought it was leaning towards when he finally got what he basically wanted it wasn’t enough and being a hero is what he’s really about, but none of that happened so who cares really, but imagine a transformers 4 and 5 where sam has fully embraced a hero role and what not, just more interesting through line for his story
What I liked about this is it felt like it built on Sam’s statistical uselessness in a self-aware way. The Decepticons didn’t get caught by Sam, they wanted him to find out about the space bridge because they needed Optimus to revive Sentinel in order to use it. They pretended to hide and use humans to try and cover up the moon thing so that Sam would dig into it. As Bayverse Decepticon plots go, this one is actually pretty involved.
One of my favourite reviews for this film describes the plot line where the moon landings was all due to transformers on the moon as wit in Michael Bay's world. It’s brilliant because it admits it’s silly but for Michael Bay it is clever.
I like what they did with Starscream in the Prime cartoon. Cause in the movies there’s literally no reason for him to be the “cowardly backstabber” archetype cause he’s literally the size of a fighter jet and covered in saw blades. But in Prime he’s only that horrible metal giant to the humans and to other transformers he’s this weedy, snivelling has-been, who has sharp nails and some rockets when they all have death tentacles and webshooters and fusion cannons. The most damage he ever does is to people who are already injured or dying. He’s more competent than movie starscream but NOBODY takes him seriously, I love it.
Funniest scene is Ken Jeong saying “you messed with the wronggg wang today” 😂 whipping out dual pistols, and that little head rotation 🤣 nah I was deadddd
J.O.R.D that man is crazy! still taking his hangover character to Transformers.....thats what i hate about guys with guns more talking than shooting ended up dead
Holy shit, the editing on that The Office parody, that was amazing. I'm assuming Ben did that, but kudos to whoever did it, just in case it -wasn't- him :P
Megan's statement I thought was really moving, she addressed the obvious problems with Bay but she saw past that to the awkward insecure child man who likes making movies and noted his better qualities. She's a good person but they fired her anyway, screw Spielberg and Bay.
One positive I can give these movies is that they give obscure Transformers villans a spotlight. The Fallen and Sentinal were unknown to everyone but very hardcore fans before the movies, and now they're well known characters
@@XVNRX "gained" respect? Was that before or after he started executing transformers beging for their lives and treatening that he will kill all of the humans.
In regards to what's said at 15:23 it's even more heartbreaking to see how horribly Optimus is written when you hear Peter Cullen talk about how he got the role. He based the voice on his brother who served in the army and it was his brother's advice to play the character as sincere and gentle rather than tough and macho. You should defiantly look up the clip. I also had the chance to meet him at a comic con and he is the absolute nicest guy, very reserved but warm and friendly. All of this just makes me hate the live action movies more. F*ck Michael Bay.
Fun Fact : The original ending of the movie had Optimus and Megaton teaming up, then honoring a truce between the Autobots and Decepticons. The Decepticons and Megaton were to head back to Cybertron and repair it while Optimus and the Autobots would remain on earth, creating a new home for themselves. I much prefer that ending over what we got. Of course with Earth being Unicorn it wouldn't make too much sense...
Lots of people feel that way. I’ve seen this movie but don’t remember most of it. Probably because it’s 2 hours too long and not much story happens. All the explosions and action scenes blend together. The mind craves having diversity in stimulations. So a good action film can balance good storytelling with action sequences that are short but memorable. This film? It’s just 2 hours of explosions happening back to back with nothing in the story or pacing to set them apart and make them memorable.
Upon rewatch i have to say that my favourite thing about this movie is the fact that the building the Decepticons use as a part of their evil master plan is Trump Tower
I just wanted to point out that if you look closely, Sentinel Prime has a Cybertronian alternate-form when on the Moon / at Nest. He is maroon with spots of gold on him and has all smooth surfaces. He has metal wheels on him where he has tires later on. The wings on his back and windows on his chest don't make full-sense in those scenes. I think the CGI animators were just lazy with Sentinel's Cybertronian form. Optimus Prime's Cybertronian form in Bumblebee 2018 is even worse than this. He just has different wheels, no windshield-wipers and different exhaust pipes on his shoulders.
The most unrealistic thing in this movie isn’t giant space robots that transform into other objects, oh no... it’s Shia’s character having two, TWO complete smoke shows (10’s) as girlfriends.
*2001: A Space Odyssey* invented the "set on hydraulics" schtick. They used it for those scenes where the space stewardesses walk up the walls with their velcro shoes. It's really just the whole set rotating. This is not a new thing.
Nah, centrifuge movie sets are older than that. They used one in Royal Wedding in the early 50s to have Fred Astaire dance around on the wall and ceiling of a room.
The oldest one I've seen is Buster Keaton's "The Boat" from 1921, but apparently Victor Flemyng did it in 1919's "When the Clouds Roll By." So this schtick is literally more than a hundred years old.
@@kbs8681 shows how much inspiration the Transformers movies have had in the industry. We would probably not have an MCU without the first transformers, who showed how well you could blend in special effects with humans and practical. Jon Favreau has said that himself.

@@Commander_Shepard. She was talking about Bay making her wear a bikini and being too young. Jimmy makes a weird comment about how "we all have thosev perv, creep thoughts, but you're supposed to keep them inside"
That is exactly how I felt, for Transformers 4. I was having a HARD time getting into these new characters, but they FINALLY started growing on me, and there was a point where Dad saved the daughter, and I decided that the movie was actually worthwhile. HOWEVER, I suddenly realized that there weren't even any Dinobots yet. I suddenly became conscious of the time & realized that what I had seen couldn't possibly have been the finale. From that point on, I couldn't help but wonder how much time was elapsing? I started the movie during the day, but it was likely dark outside. I couldn't believe how long the film was & how long it felt.
Lindsay Elles taught me that the funny thing is that *Michael*-a *Bay*-nes was the real hero and apparently the genderbent self insert. Though if Sam is supposed to represent his normal off set self then I must give credit for self awareness and self deprecation.
When that happened, I was just like “You ok buddy? Need a therapist? I mean, your head doctor (iS tHaT a JoJo ReFeReNcE!?) just died ”. Taking into account the story of how Peter Cullen created the voice for Optimus, the Bayformer’s movies are a real punch to the gut for the character of Optimus Prime.
I fell like the opposite of “Transformers” would be something like “Raising Arizona”. It is kind of a different movie for Nicolas Cage. I am not even sure he yells in it at any point.
I feel like in Michael Bay's mind he thinks his movies are like Coen brothers films with action. Which is probably why he keeps casting from their talent pool.
its weird how Optimus in the Bayverse is like Megatron from the 1986 movie. they’re brutally fighting their opponents to the death, but as soon as they start losing they beg for mercy
Are we not gonna talk about how after Megatron saves Optimus' life, he then literally says the words 'hey we should form a truce' you know and essentially says he's ready for there to be peace and that and Optimus. the literal poster boy for 'ALL LIFE IS SACRED', just flat out kills Megatron right as he is finally after all these years trying to make some sort of peace ...

Album is stellar. unfortunately the movie score got edited in wrong ways or not used rightfully according to an interview with the composer, Steve Jablonsky. He said that the full version of the movie (that he watched before Bay/Paramount shortened the runtime) handled the score as he would have wanted.
@@believer4002 EXACTLY!!!!!!
Fun Fact: John Frazier (the Special Effects Supervisor who is shown in this video) also worked on all 3 Raimi Spider-Man films which makes the bit about the building even more baffling!
"She didn't appreciate me for who i am"... why do I feel that line explaining michaela's absence was Bay's personal allegory for why he didnt like Megan Fox?🤣
Please tell me there gonna continue the “we’re gonna die” running joke for all these movies XD
I always thought it would of been a great character moment for Sam to realize that he’s unhappy with his life and job because he doesn’t feel like he’s making a difference anymore, and him realizing that fighting off aliens and being a hero is his true calling.
Sounds like a war propaganda to me.
Sounded more like he was jealous that he isn't as recognized for his role in saving the world as he hoped to be. In the 2nd film he told Bumblebee to leave him be while in college, but here he complains Bee doesn't visit him anymore.
Kyle Gmerek well yeah i thought.. hypothetically of course since michael bay just did what he does, anyhow, in the first two movies he wants nothing to do with Transformers but here I thought it was leaning towards when he finally got what he basically wanted it wasn’t enough and being a hero is what he’s really about, but none of that happened so who cares really, but imagine a transformers 4 and 5 where sam has fully embraced a hero role and what not, just more interesting through line for his story
Your 'character' analysis of Optimus Prime is so on the spot it hurts.
The point of sentinel prime looking like a firetruck in space was something that i cant believe i didn't notice

When are we going to be blessed by a Caravan of Garbage about the Hobbit trilogy?
Probably when the grief has subsided - besides, we had Lindsay Ellis's unexpected trilogy.
Once there's a trailer for the new and totally unnecessary LOTR Amazon series. Gotta keep on top of the trends
@@nicoolio_gp I disagree, I've always been more interested in the Second Age part of the Silmarillion than the main part itself.
@@chrischiu-tabet9462 Lindsay gave us the details and context, but we need some one to help us just laugh at them.
And if they decide to actually do The Hobbit trilogy, they should watch the extended versions as well
I've never related to something more then the 'Golden Bay time' of this movie. That time stamp was spot on... An hour and a half left, my god.
I'd say TF4 goes even beyond, when you think the film is over, it goes on for more 40 minutes.
What I liked about this is it felt like it built on Sam’s statistical uselessness in a self-aware way. The Decepticons didn’t get caught by Sam, they wanted him to find out about the space bridge because they needed Optimus to revive Sentinel in order to use it. They pretended to hide and use humans to try and cover up the moon thing so that Sam would dig into it. As Bayverse Decepticon plots go, this one is actually pretty involved.
One of my favourite reviews for this film describes the plot line where the moon landings was all due to transformers on the moon as wit in Michael Bay's world. It’s brilliant because it admits it’s silly but for Michael Bay it is clever.
I like what they did with Starscream in the Prime cartoon. Cause in the movies there’s literally no reason for him to be the “cowardly backstabber” archetype cause he’s literally the size of a fighter jet and covered in saw blades. But in Prime he’s only that horrible metal giant to the humans and to other transformers he’s this weedy, snivelling has-been, who has sharp nails and some rockets when they all have death tentacles and webshooters and fusion cannons. The most damage he ever does is to people who are already injured or dying. He’s more competent than movie starscream but NOBODY takes him seriously, I love it.
Funniest scene is Ken Jeong saying “you messed with the wronggg wang today” 😂 whipping out dual pistols, and that little head rotation 🤣 nah I was deadddd
J.O.R.D that man is crazy! still taking his hangover character to Transformers.....thats what i hate about guys with guns more talking than shooting ended up dead
Holy shit, the editing on that The Office parody, that was amazing. I'm assuming Ben did that, but kudos to whoever did it, just in case it -wasn't- him :P
At the end of each video it says who edited it. (in the lower right corner)
It was indeed Ben ;)
@@Zintag ahhh nice. I made the comment during the segment so I hadn't got there yet :3
When talking about the firing of Megan Fox you say There is so much more to this” how dare you not say there is much more than meets the eye??!!
Megan's statement I thought was really moving, she addressed the obvious problems with Bay but she saw past that to the awkward insecure child man who likes making movies and noted his better qualities. She's a good person but they fired her anyway, screw Spielberg and Bay.
Except where she compared him to Hitler. Oops.
She insulted a higher up. Doesn't matter where you work at, if you insult your boss you're probably getting hired. It was a dumb statement to make.
@dflowers30 this is how lies get spread. Her husband or ex husband himself said in an interview she didn’t cheat on him.
Hitler...
They fired her for comparing her boss to hitler, nothing else.
And he's her boss first & friend second.
When you call your boss Hitler, you get fired. Simple as that. Nothing else to say. I'm sure she agrees with that now, if you would ask her.
I say add to the insanity. Watch the next 2 and then you can reward yourselves with the opening 15 minutes of bumblebee
One positive I can give these movies is that they give obscure Transformers villans a spotlight. The Fallen and Sentinal were unknown to everyone but very hardcore fans before the movies, and now they're well known characters
Was the Fallen the one that looked like a giant grey walking scrapyard or was that Sentinal?
@@McSuperfly101 sentinel was red, you colorblind idiot.

Is that a bad thing ?
Optimus gained more respect bc of the movies
Put some respect on his name smh

It’s definitely an improvement from the second...kinda
@@buzzfeedteal4775 so does yours 😊
Mine too bro. I legit like this one
Get out of here 😂
In regards to what's said at 15:23 it's even more heartbreaking to see how horribly Optimus is written when you hear Peter Cullen talk about how he got the role. He based the voice on his brother who served in the army and it was his brother's advice to play the character as sincere and gentle rather than tough and macho. You should defiantly look up the clip. I also had the chance to meet him at a comic con and he is the absolute nicest guy, very reserved but warm and friendly. All of this just makes me hate the live action movies more. F*ck Michael Bay.
Fun Fact :
The original ending of the movie had Optimus and Megaton teaming up, then honoring a truce between the Autobots and Decepticons. The Decepticons and Megaton were to head back to Cybertron and repair it while Optimus and the Autobots would remain on earth, creating a new home for themselves.
I much prefer that ending over what we got.
Of course with Earth being Unicorn it wouldn't make too much sense...
Why do I feel like I've watched this film, yet I can't remember 95% of these scenes shown. I honestly feel like I'm going mad.
Same. I had to look up to see if I had actually seen this one. And even though I have I remember so little of it.
Same.
Yeah. I forgot alot of this movie.
That’s the power of bayham
Lots of people feel that way. I’ve seen this movie but don’t remember most of it. Probably because it’s 2 hours too long and not much story happens. All the explosions and action scenes blend together. The mind craves having diversity in stimulations. So a good action film can balance good storytelling with action sequences that are short but memorable. This film? It’s just 2 hours of explosions happening back to back with nothing in the story or pacing to set them apart and make them memorable.
Ken Jeong in this movie was f*cking brilliant: "Deep. Wang. Deep... Wang."
will_ da_man_ and Alan Tudyk
Upon rewatch i have to say that my favourite thing about this movie is the fact that the building the Decepticons use as a part of their evil master plan is Trump Tower
Wait really? That’s hilarious

That's aged well.

Anyone saying "that was literally my opinion too," shouldn't be surprised. All of ghat can be summed up to, a mediocre blockbuster
Also, big twist near the end
The twist at the end makes the movie for me
I remember being so hyped for this movie to the point that we travelled to a country where it released early.
Slept through half the thing.
One of the few film reviews the critics actually defend Megan Fox. You get a like just for that 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I just wanted to point out that if you look closely, Sentinel Prime has a Cybertronian alternate-form when on the Moon / at Nest. He is maroon with spots of gold on him and has all smooth surfaces. He has metal wheels on him where he has tires later on. The wings on his back and windows on his chest don't make full-sense in those scenes. I think the CGI animators were just lazy with Sentinel's Cybertronian form. Optimus Prime's Cybertronian form in Bumblebee 2018 is even worse than this. He just has different wheels, no windshield-wipers and different exhaust pipes on his shoulders.
Wanna watch a movie with normal humans doing normal human things? Watch what we do in the shadows

They can’t because it needs boring humans in it lol. And lilo is anything but boring
The stitch trilogy is infinitely better than transformers
LILO and stitch is the best
Also National Treasure 1 and 2 have zero transformations. Please cover them
The most unrealistic thing in this movie isn’t giant space robots that transform into other objects, oh no... it’s Shia’s character having two, TWO complete smoke shows (10’s) as girlfriends.

Facts. Imo. Best transformers movie
They should watch the episode of community where abed does it
The Big Lebowski maybe, you still get the John Turturro quota.
Oh brother where for art thou for a bigger fix
*2001: A Space Odyssey* invented the "set on hydraulics" schtick. They used it for those scenes where the space stewardesses walk up the walls with their velcro shoes. It's really just the whole set rotating. This is not a new thing.
Nah, centrifuge movie sets are older than that. They used one in Royal Wedding in the early 50s to have Fred Astaire dance around on the wall and ceiling of a room.
The oldest one I've seen is Buster Keaton's "The Boat" from 1921, but apparently Victor Flemyng did it in 1919's "When the Clouds Roll By." So this schtick is literally more than a hundred years old.
We should differentiate between a large floor that tips up, and a set contained within a rotating framework.
So basically it'd be like Steve Jobs saying phones had never been used before the iphone🙄
This is the best Transformers movie. It also has the same 3rd act as The Avengers.

That is exactly how I felt, for Transformers 4. I was having a HARD time getting into these new characters, but they FINALLY started growing on me, and there was a point where Dad saved the daughter, and I decided that the movie was actually worthwhile. HOWEVER, I suddenly realized that there weren't even any Dinobots yet. I suddenly became conscious of the time & realized that what I had seen couldn't possibly have been the finale. From that point on, I couldn't help but wonder how much time was elapsing? I started the movie during the day, but it was likely dark outside. I couldn't believe how long the film was & how long it felt.
Please push through. Id love to see your thoughts on age of extinction especially
I wonder if LaBeouf's character could be considered a Bay self-insert.
An idiot just stumbling around and somehow being successful?
Yeah, that lines up.
Absolutely, he’s supposed to be likable in a way that bay thinks of himself as likable
I thought Sam was supposed to be what Bay thinks of his average viewer
I thought Sam was just Shia being himself. He was showing us his crazy side years before he went batshit with HWNDU.
Lindsay Elles taught me that the funny thing is that *Michael*-a *Bay*-nes was the real hero and apparently the genderbent self insert. Though if Sam is supposed to represent his normal off set self then I must give credit for self awareness and self deprecation.
It's a travesty Megan Fox wasn't replaced with someone that could actually act..

Honestly, Rosie's butt should have won best supporting actress.
Best part of this movie is when sentinel quotes Leonard nimoy
I have seen this movie 2 times, and both times I’ve fallen asleep.
I’ll never forget the chills I got when optimus pulled up and said “well kill them all”
When that happened, I was just like “You ok buddy? Need a therapist? I mean, your head doctor (iS tHaT a JoJo ReFeReNcE!?) just died ”. Taking into account the story of how Peter Cullen created the voice for Optimus, the Bayformer’s movies are a real punch to the gut for the character of Optimus Prime.
This movie was the highest peak the franchise could ever reach before Bumblebee came out.
Yep.
Right, cause Bumblebee’s 400 mill in 2018 at the box office “peaks” DOTM’s 1.2 Billion in 2011.
@@rajarajanmanoharan I think they were referring to the quality of the film, not the box office
@@directorforplastic7929 I think there is a direct correlation.
I fell like the opposite of “Transformers” would be something like “Raising Arizona”. It is kind of a different movie for Nicolas Cage. I am not even sure he yells in it at any point.
I feel like in Michael Bay's mind he thinks his movies are like Coen brothers films with action. Which is probably why he keeps casting from their talent pool.
Why the heck you guys don't have a video about Tank Girl?!?!? Is it because she's half girl, half tank? Are you some kind of tanksists?!?!?!

@Jaden LaFrance It's like Clu in Tron Legacy. When I saw it as a teen, I thought he had a weird face, but didn't think it was de-aged Jeff Bridges
its weird how Optimus in the Bayverse is like Megatron from the 1986 movie. they’re brutally fighting their opponents to the death, but as soon as they start losing they beg for mercy
Are we not gonna talk about how after Megatron saves Optimus' life, he then literally says the words 'hey we should form a truce' you know and essentially says he's ready for there to be peace and that and Optimus. the literal poster boy for 'ALL LIFE IS SACRED', just flat out kills Megatron right as he is finally after all these years trying to make some sort of peace ...
He didn’t say that at all he actually tried to shot Optimus but his gun wasn’t reloaded
