I know you mean this as a joke, but I do believe that Boogie Nights is his best role and he wholly deserved the nomination for that movie.

EDIT: My bad, I mixed that up with The Departed. Still, BN is his best performance and movie.

Wahlberg is a great actor when he wants to be. But he absolutely loves the money he gets for this garbage.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Nope. Don't see it being big domestically. Internationally it can reign on hype but it's DOA domestically.

I think the Domnestic result is overhyped in this day and age, espescially in franchises that make the big money international.

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

Looking good! We're off to the races!

 

[kurahador]

TF5 will make close to a billion in China alone confirmed!!

 

[Anth0ny]

hah


I believe it



come onnnnn sub $1b

 

[broncobuster]

King Arthur throws a wrench in an otherwise winning critic proof combo of Suicide Squad + Transformers.

If I was that caliber of an actor, I would too. Do the big shit for the ludicrous paycheck, then be set to do passion projects for the next few years. There's no shame in a job being just a job.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Thanks for the heads up. Day 1 blu ray purchase it is.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

hah


I believe it



come onnnnn sub $1b

I think the question is going to be whether China can power this past $800M WW, let alone $1B.

 

[PhantomX1313]

Mummy should've been released with t5 it could've saved its face

 

[Pachimari]

I'm so happy about Wonder Woman's success. And T5 premieres next week?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Great, now part of me wants to see it just to see if its as bad as he says.

 

[Yager]

Still day fucking one.

EDIT: fucking shit in Spain it doesn't get released until 8/4. OMFG first Wonder Woman now this. Fuck this shit.

 

[Martinski43]

I had hopes it would be decent atleast. Wanted to see a decent movie in IMAX when im in NYC next week. :/

 

[kurahador]

I'm gonna be sad if that Bumblebee spinoff planned to be directed by Laika dude bomb because of this movie.

 

[sirap]

Wahlberg deserves my respect for being the only actor to not phone it in on The Happening.

I haven't seen that level of dedication since Arnold's glory days.

[strafer]

caring about reviews for a movie called Transformers directed by Michael Bay?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHA

HAHAHA

HAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just buy the ticket and enjoy the Bay-ism.

 

[Carbonox]

Fine margins and all but under no circumstance is Revenge of the Fallen better than Age of Extinction.

Silly Barry.

Spoiler

Only ones I can watch and find enjoyment in are TF1 and TF3

 

[Lima]

Gonna watch TF5 tonight.

Still disappointed run time is below 180 minutes.

 

[BumRush]

I just realized that the marketing of TF5 was very similar to F8. Beloved, family (or humanity in OPs case) character seems to go bad.

F9 on Cybertron confirmed???

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

This just turns me on.

 

[……forgetit]

Not shocked. Will still make bank unfortunately

Except this ain't a family son. Don't try that angle when you ain't got shit.

I'm rooting for that little Latin girl though. She about to kick some robot ass.

 

[Busty]

At Xmas (or thereabouts) someone I know told me the 'big twist' in The Last Knight but I wasn't allowed to tell anyone about it as the studio wanted to make a huge deal out of it in the marketing and what not in the run up to the film's release.

The film opens worldwide in less than 24 hours and I haven't seen a single person mention anything about this supposed mind bending twist anywhere, in any form or medium.

#transformers.

 

[kswiston]

I think the Domnestic result is overhyped in this day and age, espescially in franchises that make the big money international.

Studios can expect to earn back over $1.50 for every dollar of domestic box office a film makes. About 50 cents at the actual box office and the rest from ancillary streams. Studios get back about 26 cents for every dollar of Chinese box office. 25 from the box office and 1 cent ancillary.

Yeah, I mean the numbers certainly speak for themselves. Studios aim to maximize domestic receipts.

As it was told to me a few months ago --

Spoiler

If memory serves supposedly Merlin has been working behind the scenes (jn previous films) to engineer everything to this point. The big twist is the Stanley Tucci's character was/is actually Merlin (or some kind of an immortal wizard) and is pivotal to saving humanity.

To be fair I haven't see a single advert for this thing since the first trailer so I don't know if this is something they've hinted at already in a trailer or something but that's what I heard.

I've seen a few posts on GAF mentioning a big twist

EDIT: That wasn't it though.

Oh, okay. Lol, hope it's true though.

To be fair to Mr Bay and co it's possible that my friend heard about the wrong 'twist' and it is something else.

To say that no one cares enough about this franchise in the industry to even gossip about it is an understatement. I think this might be the one and only thing I've ever heard about one of these films.

Oh, okay. Lol, hope it's true though.

Agreed, I actually really like Tucci despite what he was made to endure in AOE.

 

[Toa TAK]

I completely forgot Tucci was in this thing.

His character flipped on a fucking dime the last one. So that craziness doesn't phase me a bit.

 

[PhantomX1313]

Someone post that Stanley tucci meme when this thing bombs

 

[BronsonLee]

China showed him the error of his ways

Oh my god, I hope this is true, he was my favorite part in the last one. I like my Transformers films to go full stupid. Revenge of the Fallen and Age of Extinction are atrocities but boy did I enjoy watching them.

I did read about a different twist somewhere on GAF though, so I'll take this with a gain of salt.
Edit: lol, it's on the previous page

 

[PhantomX1313]

Found it

 

[Sibersk Esto]

The spoiler I heard was that

Spoiler

earth was Unicron

 

[Toa TAK]

What if the twist is that

Spoiler

the movie is good.

 

[BronsonLee]

Busty would never lie to me

Bobby, however, would blatantly lie to everyone on Earth, so the twist he says happens is probably false

 

[BumRush]

The twist is that Bobby's alter ego (id) is Bronson. Show me a time when they've posted at the same time...

Even the Stanley Tucci thing, while nearly making me spit take, is more believable.

It's both!
