- 65 million years ago the dinosaurs were wiped from this planet with an asteroid strike. God how I am envious of them.
Transformers 4 is a wacky movie that shows that even mediocre franchises can get worse. I defended Dark of the Moon, but I can't defend this. And this isn't even the worst movie in the franchise.

The wildest thing is, at the time the movie was released, the actress was 19 years old, and even when they were filming, she was 18. They could’ve just said “Yeah, she’s 18, and she’s dating this guy she met recently and there’s a three year age gap so her dad’s a little weirded out, but it’s all fine.” Instead, they aged her character down JUST to have it be questionably legal and unquestionably creepy.
On the moral aspect, a 17 year old can consent with someone who is no more than 2 years older, and the dude was 20, making it 3 years, and that is predatorial.
@@Thunderblock7889 Outside the USA, many countries (inc the UK) have 16 as the age of consent, so a 17 year old dating a 20 year old is no big deal....still weird for a movie to needlessly obsess about it though
@@HundeputzmunterTrue, but considering it’s set in the US and made for a US (and Chinese) audience, I can’t imagine it would’ve ever been received well. And it’s just like…why even do that to begin with? Just an odd choice

Fun fact about Lucas’s death: Bay ended up making his death in a gruesome style/killing him off early was because he was such a pain in the ass to work with during production.
In short: it was done out of pettiness.
Everything I’ve read/seen about T.J. Miller makes him seem like a completely insufferable person so I don’t home Bay.
An actor having bad behavior? Noooo... 🫢
That was the best scene in the whole movie ngl

19:21, not gonna lie, when Turturro's character says "do svidaniya" so confidently just to be told "that means goodbye" and have the door slammed in his face is actually fucking hilarious and is mostly a testament to Turturro's making chicken salad out of chicken shit

The US government not having a single clue what the CIA was doing is the most accurate part of this franchise.
"Whaddya mean the autobots won't move weapons to Egypt?"
Plausible deniability. It's what allows them to do evil, get away with it if it works, distance and push blame if it fails... And still threaten the ICC with invasion if they convict any American
Ah yes the CIAs steps to success.
Step 1. Make sure they don't know.
Step 2. If they know, make sure they like it.
Step 3. If they don't like it, make sure they don't threaten you.
Step 4. If they threaten you, JFK em.

There will never be a film critique more absolutely soul-crushing than, "I saw this film on the first date I had with my wife. I fell asleep halfway through."
Slap it on the back of the DVD
However, they still got married, so I guess that worked out.

"two racists banding together for the sake of racism" had me rolling. I love the whole "I hate propaganda unless its american propaganda" joke.
It's not just the whole Romeo-Juliet law that's an issue...it's also the way they filmed this 17 year old girl in provocative ways, made the boyfriend a coward and a scumbag, but still tried to romanticize them and give the BF moments of redemption. What was Michel Bay's intended message here?
Questions such as these are best answered with “you know why”
Here is what happened:
1)Michael Bay misinterpretated the Romeo and Juliet law.
2)He forgot that a 17 yo can consent with someone who is no more than TWO years older than them.
I dont know what was Michael thinking when making the guy 20 knowing that its a 3 year age gap which is predatory.

@@steelbear2063so much consent in nature, I'm sure glad we don't have to be a civilized society and can default to the laws of the natural world.
Going down this slippery slope is not a great idea.
Michael Bay managed to make a 2h and 45m movie that feels like its 4 hours long, and still doesn't have enough time to explain the plot. Incredible.
They put more thought and effort on why it’s ok to for a 20 year old to bang a 17 year old and failed at even that

Simmons saying "do svidanya" completely serious and straightfaced only to be told "that means goodbye" and have the door slammed in his face is legitimately hilarious.
Funniest exchange in the entire series in my opinion XD
I like to think of that scene from both perspectives: open the door a random guy says goodbye. “That’s means goodbye”
You open the door thinking you’re gonna speak another language just to have the bouncer say “that means goodbye” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bouncer must have immediately realised that he was dealing with an American.@@tmac731
How was that guy pulling out that card, let alone carrying it around in his wallet, not a major red flag to everyone involved? When I first saw this movie I wondered how many other relationships he had with minors that would bring up that situation enough to carry around a card to protect himself. How would that girl not see him as a predator? WHY was this scene even in the movie!?!
I feel like the intended implication is that this conversation comes up when he's hanging out with Tessa often and whatnot, but then that just brings up the point of _how did no one tell Cade about this?_ They live in what could only be described as a small town, and you don't have to have grown up in a small town to know that word travels _fast._ And the movie outright states that the dude's a pro racer. He'd be a fucking celebrity in a small town like this. There's no way Cade didn't know unless the dude was never openly passionate with Tessa, which then begs the question of why the dude has "Technically I'm not a predator" fucking LAMINATED in his pocket?
That's not a "red flag" situation. That's a "please come with me, I want to look at this thing behind the woodshed" situation
@@jfarrar19exactly lmao you know this guy has been in multiple situations like these probably with a few younger than she was for him to have that card ready to be pulled out,at a moments noticed. He was so calm and collected to and just the weird fact to even know that and have a card on him.
Media does this all the time. If you ever want to start feeling real weird about things just remember that in the lovable children's series Harry Potter, the Canonically 18 year old Viktor Krum goes out with 14 year old Hermione.
Only reason i guess this scene was in the movie is because bay wanted a "humorous" scene of the boyfriend shouting the father
That moment where the guy literally flicks out the Romeo and Juliet law card with a practiced move like Palpatine lightning quickdrawing his lightsaber at the start of that duel in revenge of the sith is one of the moments in all of cinema
Lmao this made me chuckle
This movie is probably the only reason why I know about that law.
Haha that is an apt comparison
this cud have been an amazing movie tbvh. I loved optimus primes character here and the other autobots got good screentime. but the useless side plots, and that annoying boyfriend girlfriend really just ruined the movie. dinobots shud have been bought in way earlier
Top 20 of what is debatable, but it's top 20 something.
When even Amazon Prime dunks on your film for having a scene canonizing one of the characters as a nonce, and blatantly misunderstanding consent laws within that scene, I feel like that's probably the biggest sign you could possibly take that something was, in all intents and purposes, a terrible idea.

The daughter and boyfriend ruined this movie for me more then anything else. I was also 17 when I first watched this in theaters with my dad, we both knew immediately that this was fucked up. Also she annoyed the ever living shit outta me.😤
The worst part was whenever they reunited on the ship and she only when to hang up shane and not her own father, not even in a comedic way of cade asking not me and her saying yeah of course you deserve a hag too, no instead we move along and then we get in the rope bridge scene where instead of the focus being on them struggling to climb the ropes we focus on them talking and her talking shit to her dad and saying i go back to the ship and got do annoying that i wanted those transform dogs to kill Her
The fact Cody got married to the girl he brought to this film when it came out and fell asleep halfway through is proof we could all make it someday.
God I hope so. His story was inspiring to me.
Cody has already become everybody's favorite CZcamsr.
His love life is more interesting than the movie "couple".

Let's not forget that in this movie Optimus says "Honour until the end" after literally stabbing someone in the back while they were distracted fighting somebody else, probably the most dishonourable thing one could do.
something something the end passing, something something cybertron apocalypse

Bayformers Optimus ever since the second film has been the very definition of dishonor lol. He literally rips apart Decepticons like paper instead of actually letting them give a fair fight.
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r Winning wars and giving the enemy a fair fight are incompatible goals. If you're in a warzone and your CO is more concerned with making the battle fair for the other side than he is with winning with as few casualties as possible, then it's time to go AWOL.

To be fair, having your comedic relief die unexpectedly, too early, and in bombastic a fashion as possible is pretty hilarious use of the role

Lockdown was undeniably cool...when Transformers Animated created him back in 2007.
AoE Lockdown really failed to capture anything that worked about the character. The bad-boy suave demeanor, the obsession with harvesting parts and upgrades from his victims (and thus having a huge collection/arsenal), the actually neutral demeanor where he'd work with autobots sometimes...
All they kept was calling him a bounty hunter, which he wasn't even actually doing in this film. As the video calls out, Live Action Lockdown is just a repo man trying to reclaim defective product.

@@mrscruffles801 I think they're vaguely trying to imply that there's nothing wrong with pedophilia and americans are just too sensitive (child rape is legal in most european countries, given their age of consents rage between 14-16).
I just can't get past the fact that the boyfriend has a LAMINATED CARD. If it was a passing "it's okay. Romeo and Juliet law" or if the script simply NOT mentioned it, maybe I wouldn't have noticed. But he put actual WORK into having that legal defense on hand, like he's been doing this in multiple states or something and has multiple cards in his pockets.
That scene is the most memorable moment in this movie, and I hate that. Who thought that it was a good idea to add that in the movie?
Methinks someone found it funny or someone got in trouble at some point and this was a sneaky way of calling back to that?The really confusing part is how the movie doesn't need this element in it at all. It adds nothing to the plot. At least you could argue the fanservice of Michael Bay films is meant to attract a core demographic. But this?They don't even bother giving it a context. Like how and when and why. Not even a throwaway line 'do you want someone that turned 18 last week going to jail because they're dating someone who will turn 18 next week?'. Its just there as a thing. In a movie about giant robots.
Yeah I feel there is no quicker way to labelled as a predator/pervert than to carry a laminated card on you that explains why you can bang your teenage gf
“FBI OPEN UP!!! SHANE YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR UNSPEAKABLE CRIMES!!!”
@@florinivan6907 Nah, it's just your average dudebro logic when trying to justify creepy shit.
I remember watching a pirate version of this movie and thinking
_you never see any REAL collateral damage at all to China_
_the Chinese government appears absurdly benevolent to the point of it almost being a fault_
Which is what made me remember that this movie was still made during the Chinese "hot spot" where movies were focused on a Chinese, not USA, audience even if made in the USA because Hollywood got truckloads of cash for doing so.
My favorite transformers quote is “I modeled galvatron after Optimus prime, why does he keep looking like megatron”
The way he flips out the card implies that he had done this before.
I just like to imagine he and Tessa are walking down the street, someone inevitably asks "Isn't she younger than you?", and he just pulls the "Umm, acktyualley" out his ass.
And then he gets stabbed in an alleyway.
The way this is worded makes this better 😂
I thought this was going so many other ways than stabbed in an alley 😭
that stabbed in a alleyway was so random and funny 💀
Why was it laminated
Does he get blown up though? Like Deadpool did?
The fact that no one explained why the transformers left Sam after being his friends is just so frustrating.
The worst part is that if "Yager" was just a more grown up Sam, it could've flowed better. Set up the next gen with the other two still being high school (poetry; it rhymes with the first film) so we don't have to deal with the stupid R&J shit and have the relationship build through the events. Still terrible, but the skeleton of the story is stronger
True.
@@couchpotato2222 Ain’t no way they really spelled Jaeger or Jäger that way bruh
It was revealed by the director Sam was dead after the third movie, killed off screen.
Pretty fuckin stupid if you ask me.
So, this is 100% head-canon and in no way what actually happened, but apparently there is a scientific reason as to why Sam isn’t around anymore.
He died from cancer.
During the first movie, Sam was apparently around the autobots and other transformers in general so consistently that, when he was eventually found out by Sector Seven, it was because they got a reading of 14 Rads off of him. This implies that Sam was getting constant lethal doses of radiation off of the various transformers he was around. By the third movie, he most likely developed cancer that would eventually kill him, which lead to him having to be replaced by the “I’m and inventor!” man.
The best line in this movie being “I don’t care” sums it up perfectly.

The worst part about the Romeo and Juliet scene even before you consider that it's legally incorrect, is how frequently his own card refers to someone like Tessa as a "child." He literally has a card that he shows people to justify dating what the card considers to be a child.
It wouldn't be *that* bad, if they stated they never engaged sexually, and he waited untill she legally becomes an adult (which could say he takes their relationship seriously, imho), but he literally tells her father he fucks his underaged daughter. How the hell he still doesn't have a bullet in his head?
"Why did they put that in the movie"
Come on guy... you're a fairly smart guy. You know why...
I think american laws are weird, i see nothing wrong with their relationship honestly. It would be different if it was like 17 and 14, but pretending like a 17 and a few months year old human can't understand a relationship but an 18 year old human suddenly can makes no sense

The purpose of the Romeo and Juliet law is primarily to protect the older party once the older party turns 18, in the event that there is less than a two year age gap. I had to know this law because my wife and I started dating at 17 and she is 8 months younger. That is the kind of situation the law is for, not some legal loophole out of the sex offender registry. I really, really hated that scene in the movie, almost walked out of the theater tbh.
I’d just date someone 1 year younger or my age or date someone after school
Yeah the Romeo n Juliet law doesn't protect you if your already 18 and then you want to date a minor. It's for people who have a relationship in high school, I've seen it used multiple times. There's nothing wrong with it either, ain't like it sanctions dating a minor, just protects those already in a relationship when their age changes. (You might need parent's consent depending on where you live, could not even have the law in some states idk, I believe it's nation wide tho) Pretty disgusting to see this movie completely misunderstand the law itself, and shine a bad light on it when in no way what they showed on screen is accurate at all.

Actually, another main reason why Micheal Bay returned as director is because he went to Universal Studios and saw a huge line waiting for a ride, and when he asked the people what ride they were waiting on, they replied it was the Transformers Ride. When he heard this, he was happy, and that same night, he realized that he was not quite done with Transformers, and decided to make more....

Honestly the beginning scene could have made sense and not conflicted with the canon if those aliens weren't actually creator aliens but just guys who saw how good cybertronians were at fighting and went "damn I want some of those" and figured out how to make inferior simulacrum cybertronians, would also make sense for Grimlock and gang because they are typically depicted as being less intelligent than other bots
Lockdown is actually kind of cool outside of this movie. He made for the shortly lived Transformers Animated, and actually had a cool concept. Basically he is a Bounty Hunter who isn't a autobot or deception, but often works for whoever pays the most, and instead of just collecting random ass animals from everywhere, he basically steals body parts and entire weapons from whoever his quarry is.
It's crazy how they took Lockdown's insanely cool animated design that would have been stupidly easy to adapt to the bayverse aesthetic and made it the most boring uncanny grey thing ever

They can't have a villain actually have colors, they all need to be gray (except when they aren't).
@@kirkkerman Eh his visor and face gun look cool.
Man he was so cool in Transformers Animated, it's been so long since I thought about that lol
I can't wait for 5. That movie holds a very special place in my heart. I saw it at a drive in theater on opening night with my brother (both of us born after but raised on G1 transformers). I shit you not, every 40-90 seconds, we would look at each other at the same time exclaim "what the fuck just happening" completely sincerely.
The Last Knight is, in my mind, the epitome of a truly awful, absolutely entertaining film
fr, I waited 4 years to watch the last knight because I cudnt go to theatres at the time. that movie was such a dissapointment lmao
The Last Knight is the reason I'm glad the film series got rebooted...
@@Termina2018 actually, the last knight had so much potential. I have a plot for the film.
Instead of cade being the last knight and the british girl being the one activating the staff, it shud have been megatron who activated the staff, but quintessa tells that optimus is the last knight, hence he refuses to work with quintessa and optimus. quintessa then tells that no, she will make optimus come on their side and they will activate the staff together. she then gives galvatron a new body, redesigns him as megatron and sends him to earth to search for the talisman which is with cade yeager. optimus comes becomes evil, and goes back to earth halfway thru the movie unlike the real plot where nemesis shows up in the last end. he and megatron actuallu work together, and the autobots are now in hiding due to optimus betrayal. they start working their way and then meet the british girl and that old guy who explain how useful the talisman is. hence when nemesis comes to take the talisman, he fights bumblebee and becomes optimus again
Idk I really love the one I made, wud have given more screentime to the transformers and just made more sense
It's not even the nonsensical batshit stuff that ruins it for me, it's just how fucking boring all of it is.
Aside from a sparse handful of scenes; and Cogman, I just think it's such a dull, lifeless movie.
I hate Bayformers movies so much (and tbh if someone edits the first one it may actually become a decent movie), i tried so hard to endure the last knight but had to quit after 20 minutes.
"two races banding tigether for the sake of racism"
WWII axis
The fact that the boyfriend took out that age of consent card is a warning sign already 😂
Optimus being bitter and sick of humans' shit makes sense, IF it's shown that this anger also comes from self-loathing from all the deaths indirectly or directly caused by his choices. But no, that would require EFFORT in writing the script beyond the first draft.
Not really the human hunted all his kind down he would be mad regardless.
Neat ideas executed in the worst of ways, if we actually got scenes showing Optimus really REALLY struggling with what's going on and grieving for his friends it could of been something
I can’t believe that fucking Rise of the Beasts executed Bayverse Prime’s arc better than Michael Bay
@@halfmettlealchemist8076not really that surprising in hindsight.
@@halfmettlealchemist8076it's really not hard to write Optimus. It's just that Hasbro got some goof from Hollywood to do it
My personal relationship with this movie is that I went with my brothers to the movies in the summer of 2014 and asked if we could see Snowpiercer instead and they said no, and we saw this instead.
I have never let them forget how they betrayed me.
The bayfromer movies are rated pg-13 what would you expected tho
@@chrisbanos1112 He expected Snowpiercer tbf
i hope u saw snowpiercer afterwards because that movie goes hard
@@mint6269 I did eventually! love that movie dearly
correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Snowpiercer come out in 2013? i know this because I saw it at theaters in 2013.
To be honest, it may not be the nicest way the franchise has decided to go with terminating the *Autobots* alongside the *Decepticons,* but at least it’s a realist outcome. They are aliens after all, and there’s nothing more humans fear and hate more than aliens. *Xenophobia* as a term exists for a reason, after all.
“Find it so grim, so cruel, so real.”
And then the military decides to team up with the deceptions in the next movie for some reason
Upon my last rewatch I realized this is the funniest movie imaginable if you just get a couple cans of rockstar and your friends
Also when lockdown appeared my buddy said “it’s shadow the edge hog”
One thing that I found out relating to that infamous scene is that when Jack Reynor (the actor who played Shane) read the initial script for Age of Extinction, that scene was nowhere written in there. And when they started producing that scene, he was very uncomfortable and confused as to what scene was being recorded. This means that the scene was later added to the script, and Jack was NOT made aware of the scene until recording started for it!
Honestly, reading this makes me feel bad for Reynor.
Its obvious by that some jerkoff thought this up and made last minute call to mr Bay and like an impatient boss just tells the worker to get it done.
Poor Jack
Age of consent law? Was this on IMDb
Glad Jack Reynor managed to get a role in Midsommar, otherwise everyone would just remember him as the guy with a laminated minor dating card in his pocket.
I love how PointlessHub, in the middle of the review, casually stops to mention the very important killing of "Oreo Bot" by the Autobots during the raid at KSI factory. That's peak review and journalism right in front of our eyes.
I remember when "Mountain Dew Robot" was in one of these movies. That's literally all I can say about that.
@@christopherregan1654
The funniest part about the Mountain Dew Bot?
His name is canonical "Dispensor."
Yea
Oreo Bot didn't deserve to go out like that, he was just trying his best
Auralnauts made the whole video of this movie all about Oreo-bot. First Optimus wants to save him, then it's all about avenging him. It's glorious.
That scene where they trash talk Bumblebee's design is so obnoxiously dumb you can't ignore it. This hyperadvanced alien robot is mocked as substandard because it's wacky.
Let us never forget that Doug Walker, The Critic himself, said that this was a pleasant surprise and a good movie.
oh my god this makes me irrationally hate him MORE
@@iwakeupandboomimaratnah man, no one's hatred of that man is irrational
What a strange, strange man that Doug Walker is…
When did he say that? Pretty sure he had a review lambasting the movie when it came out.
no he didn't and you know it.
This man's first date with his wife was age of extinction and she stuck around? I can see why he married her absolute keeper
"I don't want to see propaganda... I want to see the AMERICAN military" has me rolling ngl
Cody’s always been pretty tongue in cheek and I love it
No Chinese propaganda in my American film
I don't want both of them.
I want a spinoff movie about the Oreo Bot. He transforms into a plate of regular-sized oreos, but is still made of metal. The whole movie is secretly a plug for dental insurance.
Did you know
The Romeo Juliette law is the only scene of the movie fully in IMAX
Truly a masterpiece moment
💀
Because they thought that this scene should be seen in all of its glory
I love how Hound is literally how the dwarves are in Deep Rock Galactic. Foul mouthed, (relatively) short and stout, armed to the teeth, ecstatic to blow up anything that is a slight threat, and a magnificent beard.
Robo beard for robotic reasons.
ROCK AND STONE!
ROCK AND STONE
For Rock N Stone, brothas!
DO I HEAR ROCK AND STONE?!
This movie opens with dinosaurs who get turned into metal, and ends with dinosaurs made of metal and these two plot points have nothing to do with each other and exist solely because Bay was like “Dinosaurs are cool put dinosaurs in the movie” because he directs like a child
After watching how they screwed Dinobots, i had to read some old Transformers comics to remind myself that Gridlock was actual badass and he and other dinobots could talk for fuck sake.
Well, I mean, it’s giant robot dinosaurs. Poorly written or not, they look freaking cool.
@@Endru85x Agreed. I'm fine with the Dinobots not talking, but come on, at least make them Badass.
Also, quick correction, I'm pretty sure his name is Grimlock, Not GridLock.
@@yeetusdeletus1827 of course it was Grimlock, my bad :) If i remember correctly, he was bots leader for some time in G1 comics. But Bay does not give a f about source material....
@@Endru85x It's all good, just a small correction, at least I'm not blowing up or anything :)....................................... I will *(REDACTED)* your family if you make another spelling mistake-
Yeah, Bay really didn't give a shit about the source material.
Imagine if, during the finale fight, when Prime is pinned by the sword, instead of Bumblebee, Grimlock just comes in and wrecks Lockdowns shit for a solid while, before Lockdown (Being the badass he is) manages to flip it around and beats the shit out of Grimlock, and THEN Optimous stabs him and does the whole "Honer" thing.
It would both show how Badass Grimlock is, while showing how much of a threat Lockdown was.
But nah, that didn't happen.
the first one is MEMERABLE with some really good scenes in it, particularly the opening with the deception helicopter Blackout, and a lot of the close up practical effects were cool.
12:20 tbf if this was set in 2017 - 2020 that wouldn't be unrealistic.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere when the movie came out that it was set 8 years after the third one, so 2019 ish
As a person who lives in Hong Kong, I like how I can literally point out how many mistakes are in the final battle and how many locations doesn't even exist lol
They should have set it on Man Fuk Road
Yup, they also shot in Detroit, USA for the Hong Kong scenes.
@@IP_Films01 Then again, it's cheaper to film in a location that already looks like a war zone than to actually try to fix Hong Kong in post
They filmed most of the "Hong Kong" scenes in Chicago. They even left the Sears tower in the background of a fight
enjoying the new land owners?
Acts like she's the grown up in the house.
Goes out and gets wasted on purpose.
Is actually dating a scumbag.
Amazing writing Hollywood. What a positive role model...
Funny thing.
Why does Bumblebee in this movie default back to an older Camaro model after getting upset about Mikaela dissed him about that in the first movie? And he got dissed about it in this movie by 3 people. He seems to have forgotten about that and the fact that using a newer car had no one mock him.
"I don't see where people think Lockdown is cool"
Probably because people liked Lockdown from Transformers Animated (the 2007-2009 series), and they threw fans a bone by giving him a hook and had him take parts from his victims.
Look, we were desperate back then.
Mark Ryan is no Lance Henriksen, that's for sure XD Also, Derrick J. Wyatt, the art director of Transformers: Animated, was quite vocally displeased with Lockdown's portrayal here.
I liked it when he turned his face into a gun, that was pretty neat. Like, he's cool on an aesthetic level, but he still could have been so much cooler if he'd had, say, an actual personality.
@@daliborjovanovic510 I mean Mark is better voicing him than Bumblebee lol
TFA Lockdown looks a million times cooler than this guy
Interesting tidbit: Jack Reynor (Shane) said in a later interview that not only was that whole Romeo & Juliet law thing problematic (but him being an unknown actor at the time, it wasn’t his place to draw attention to it in a big franchise movie), but that it WASN’T IN THE SCRIPT ORIGINALLY and instead something that was added during production. Do with that information what you will.
Must be an awkward thing to have attached to your career
That may help explain why nobody involved realized that the character of Tessa Yeager was legally an adult due to the fact that they set the movie in Texas and not California. Knowing Hollywood writers they probably would have made the same mistake even if it was in the script because Hollywood often thinks that they're the center of the universe, but if it was ad libbed they may not have even had time to research Texas law before they shot the scene.
@@silentnight6810 yeah like that one guy that does all the fiber supplement ads on CZcams
I feel bad for that guy, man. Imagine being an up-and-coming actor who gets to star in a blockbuster film adaptation of a popular toy franchise as an opportunity to really make a name for yourself, and then get told mid-production that your character has to justify why it’s okay for them to date a minor.
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 definitely, it’s not the best kind of role to have on his resume but at the very least he’s gotten better roles since then.
There being good and bad 4s goes to show that it truly is the chaotic number.
34:12 goated for using the Dino Dino Jungle theme btw 😂
I’ll still never get over why they didn’t just make the 4th+ TF movies about Colonel Lennox. Josh Duhamel’s acting was so much better than Wahlberg’s in these movies, and the dynamic that could have been done with his ‘retirement’ - Lennox struggling to protect his family (including his young daughter), but also still help the autobots - was SUCH a missed opportunity.
Yeah Lennox is dope
Transformers: Age of Retirement
See, you miss the point. That is a GOOD idea! Michael Bay does not UNDERSTAND what a good idea is.
Yeah but that would’ve been interesting and that’s clearly not what Bay was after
@@user-M2CE Bay does well when there's people reining him in.
13 Hours for example had 3 of the actual GRS members during the attack and the book author on staff as consultants.
Shockwave should've been saved for this film. Him as a lone wolf type not caring too much for either side fits him well. He deserved far more than what 3 gave him.
What’s crazy is he had more action in a burger king commercial than the movie. But it’s just the same fight with sentinel.
That actually sounds perfect. It would probably upset the geewunners but the idea of Shockwave being a unaffiliated centrist would fit his emotionless nature.
@@logger22 I think the geewunners were more upset by shockwaves character in the third movie then they would've been with him not being a Decepticon.
@@ThyBigCheddar geewunners weren't the only fans upset with tf3 handling Shockwave. Everyone was period. Whether you grew up with g1 or animated or prime Shockwave, all 3 had personalities that were written well. Bayverse Shockwave had little to nothing aside from a cool design
Something no one talks about is that the whole company plot is almost verbatim the plot from Transformers Animated, some guy finds the ruins of megatron and uses it to build transformer like robots, but oh no Megatron is alive and gets himself a new body.
It's rather amazing how the writers had to bring up a Texas state law to justify a romance between a 17 year old and a 20 year old in the most bizarre, contrived manner possible...and still getting it hilariously wrong because no one bothered to actually properly research it and makes you wonder why they didn't just simply make them both 20 years old? It's such an easy writing decision yet they needlessly take an over-complicated route where they still manage to fail badly.
The "Speaking of sex offenders" cut caught me off guard, well played
Tj Miller’s annoying character being pyrotechnic’d to death is the high moment of this film.
Thank I thought it was jus me😅
It forshadowed his career
And to make it even better, it was done out of pure pettiness. Miller was so difficult to work with that Bay wanted his character killed off ASAP so he didn't have to deal with him anymore.
Best thing in the movie. This character was already annoying me after 10 minutes with his unfunny jokes and traitor behavior, so imagine having to put up with him for 2 hours long...
Oh yeah, that’s not a character.
Between this movie and Expendables 3, it's weird to see how Kelsey Grammer looks pretty much the same as he did during the original run of the show Frasier.
Now we have the revival Frasier, and he feels like an old man. He is an old man, but it's just weird what a sneak decade can do. And by "sneaky decade," I mean if you didn't spend the last decade as a child, it kinda flew by and most all adults over the age of 30 by today are still reeling from the fact. I turned 20 and sneezed, then I was 30.
Somehow during that sneeze, Kelsey Grammer went from being a greyed Frasier to being a geriatric Frasier. His voice less booming, his posture more withered, his cognitive skills stunted. While watching the revival Frasier, I was worried one of the times he hit the ground, they wouldn't be able to get him back up.
I would say "Somehow Kelsey Grammer feels older now than John Mahoney ever did during the original Frasier," but... he is. Mahoney was 53 to 64 during the original show's run, where Kelsey Grammer is now in his late 60s as the revival Frasier begins. So it really was during this movie and Expendables that Kelsey Grammer was in that "Marty Crane" age. And where some people can hit their 60s and even 70s without feeling feeble and wobbly, sadly Kelsey wasn't one of them. Probably his former addictions taking their toll.
You kids think smoking pot, partying, and hooking up are good things, just wait until you don't die of an OD or some disease and you're looking fondly back on how much you hate your younger self for not taking better care of your body.
That's it, that's my random point to make. This movie was so dull that, while there were probably more relevant things I could've talked about, like how Grimlock was just used to sell toys and treated as a dumb animal, it didn't matter enough to me. All I could think about was how Grammer has turned into an old man in the span of a decade. I've been forced to watch my heroes, such as they are, wither with the unrelenting march of time.
Me, Grimlock agree with your statement.
27:10 I only like him because I watched Animated, and liked him there.
Mark Wahlberg as a scientist, or engineer is like casting Will Pharrel as the next Superman.
Id watch that.
EDIT: Will Pharrel? Who? I misread it as Will Ferrell.
Also anyone is better than Mark Wahlberg because he can't play any other role than being Mark Wahlberg.
Excuse you?? He's AN INVENTOR
How he became an A list star is one of life's great mysteries....especially after his colorful past.....
@SD yeah, I don't understand how you go from "convicted of a hate crime" to A-list actor. It's fuckin wild.
@@dragonchr15 I think you NEED to have a colorful past. It's a requirement.
That or you're Weird Al.
We must never forget Oreobot.
Because it's pretty horrifying that such a thing was allowed to even exist.
Which we could also say about Age of Extinction overall.
Don't forget about that _Age of Extinction_ commercial where some kid just bikes up to Optimus Prime and hands him an Oreo cookie, reviving the Autobot leader after being shot by Lockdown's face.
Compared to The Last Knight, I wouldn't say Age Of Extinction is the horrifying thing to exist ever. Scary yes, but not exactly horrifying.
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r Well, I guess I'll have to wait until Cody covers The Last Knight. 'cause fuck if I'm gonna actually watch that film.
@@GmodPlusWoW Trust me. Watching that film takes some supreme willpower. I literally couldn't get past the prologue it was so bad
That's one of those cases when you say "the good part is that it can't get worse than this..." and 5 seconds later it got worse...
Love How Grimlock just casually threw up a car🤣🤣🤣
Wait a minute, I just realized...
So the main character is called Cade Yeager. And the movie is written by a guy called Ehren Kruger...?
When did this come out again?
2014
Fun fact: in the 2007 Transformers the game Frank Welker actually voices that Megatron, so technically he has been in the Bayverse since day 1
He was in 2009 game too.
