I cared when they fucked it up with the first one.
But after that my expectations were set and now I just hope that someday I might get to see Michael Bay make a Transformers movie with Unicron in it.

"Highest-grossing comic book movie of the year"
...to date, that is. Beating Deadpool WW is setting the bar hilariously low.
But Goldstein is the same guy who claimed that BvS "doesn't take itself seriously" and that the worldwide opening was a full $100M bigger than WB had thought possible, so I guess that's actually pretty good spin by his standards.
That's about what I expected them to say. They'll likely make some money off this movie but they'll also make some adjustments moving forward. I'm not a stock holder but I like these movies so I hope we get more.
If I'm being completely honest, I think a lot of my enjoyment of the first transformers stemmed from how ridiculously hot Megan Fox was in that movie. I was a sophomore in college iirc when it came out and it was Fox's breakout role before she had a ton of additional plastic surgery. The movie itself is nothing special but I remember walking out in a fairly good mood.
I'm not huge on the whole ogling hot women in films but Fox in Transformers is up there with Jessica Alba in Sin City as one of my personal all time hottest female roles in film.

I love the action Snyder films but something, maybe at the script or story level, maybe in editing, needs some oversight.
Just hope it pays off in the next films.
well we're now talking about transformers and how hot megan fox is so i think it's run its course.

People still have it set to 50 posts a page? In 2016
Being generous, maybe 300 posts were actually talking about box office

Estimates have it at 68.4. The Friday-to-Friday drop was the worst.

Thanks, had no idea there was a 100 ppp option.

Transformers succeeds in its goals of being loud dumb action movies.
BvS is load and dumb while also attempting to be "Smart" and "thought provoking" and fails utterly.

Not saying it's worse, but it knows its audience better.

I ain't got time for scrolling through 100 posts per page! Especially with Gaffer's penchant for responding to posts with oh so funny gifs, then the other gaffers quote that gif a few dozen times, and it takes forever to load pages!
So, yeah, I stick to 50ppp. lol.

Transformers isn't trying to be dumb, it just is dumb. The scripts are trying to have romance, comedy, and action so as to appeal to as many people as possible. It tenuously succeeds in delivering good action, but is frequently let down by terrible camera work and overly busy designs + scenes with far too much going on. It's not funny, it's filled with abysmal cringe scenes and is sometimes borderline offensive. It has a romance plot, but it's not convincing or well acted. If you just want to watch hot girls then it succeeds on that front I guess.
I rarely agree with moviebob but his quote on Transformers 2 hit the nail on the head for me:
[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is] a two and a half hour black hole of douchebagness with a gravitational pull so strong, no joy can escape

GAF shits on everything but niche games that aren't getting enough credit or exposure.
Who is this GAF person, sounds like an asshole
It is great if you like the movie, but GAF us a community of people with difference of opinions but in this case the movie has not been well received in any circles.
that might be the best smile in the history of cinema. the things he does with his eyes.

Damnn you, Gordon!!

I dunno. Transformers Age Of Extinction gets plenty of negative reactions even among casual viewers, which surprises me. The franchise just got lucky with its China niche.
I have doubts their next movie will hit a billion if domestic numbers keeps getting lower.

I wasn't bored for a minute. That's nonsense.
Ahhh come on. You gonna tell me you were thrilled during Lex's upeenth rambling God metaphor or mountain time with Supes?
I was.
It really doesn't though.
Sure when the action starts, those movies deliver, but everything in between those scenes is absolute garbage. The downtime, which there is quite a lot of, in the TF movies are a thousand times worse than anything in BvS.
I'm no Bay hater either. The Rock and Bad Boys are two of my all-time favorites.
I thought those were both great scenes.
But maybe I'm just crazy.

Opinions, duders.
I didn't find the movie boring even the second time around. But everyone is different. Some people have said it was boring in the various threads. They're not "wrong" even though not everyone agrees.
Or talking about piss jars
Thrilled? No. Interested? Sure. I may have not liked the movie, but I'm not bothered by giving characters some moments to look inwards. Frankly, Superman needed a helluva lot more moments to help humanize him and atleast figure out what the hell makes him likable, because the movie as is fails to do that.
I have no problem with slower scenes for characterization. I just feel like neither of the scenarios I cited accomplished that, which is why they bored me. Probably a discussion for another thread though,

Soo. We are in agreement that it is worse than The Dark Knight Rises and Transformers. The real question is how does Batman Vs. Superman compare to Alien Vs. Predator.
I never agreed to that. DKR, sure, it's notably better than BvS. But the Transformers movies are reprehensible garbage.

Much worse than Dark Knight Rises, much better than Transformers.
Comparable to Alien vs. Predator, far worse than Freddy vs. Jason.

Worse than Rises, better than Transformers. Better than AvP.

likewise for me as well.
I really feel word of mouth killed this one. Bay is a hack but word of mouth said that transformer is still a good summer blockbuster flick to sit thru.
Regardless , the damage is done and now I feel changes are being made to ensure better results by the time JL comes around.
what changes , who knows , but if snyder was hen pecked before ......oh god . Imagine afterwards...amirite?!

I said it in the last box office thread, and I will repeat it here: the Generation X tv movie was better than Batman v Superman.

Definitely gonna impact Justice League, WB was so sure Snyder was the guy, I mean, why else would they immediately put him on Justice League before they're even sure Batman v. Superman would be a hit.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
They want that Avengers money fast.
I have not seen the movie so I have no opinion on its sales performance. But I will say that Jesse Eisenburg as Lex is one of the most bizarre casting choices ever. Also, that utterly horrible line from the trailer: "Son of Krypton vs. Bat of Gotham"
Seriously? "Bat of Gotham"? Who the hell wrote this?
50 ppp is how I started gaf, and damn it, that's how I'm gonna end it!
I initially changed to the dark theme to better conceal my browsing at work. But I've had it on so long that I've become acclimated to it.
