I just think of Lin for Transformers because of the cars. A Fast and Furious movie where the cars transform into robots is a movie I need in my life.

How about Lin-Manuel for Transformers
The Musical.

As someone else mentioned earlier in this thread, a Fast + Transformers team up would crush the box office worldwide.

At least the Fast movies are entertaining.

Depends on whether Vin Diesel realizes he's not the reason anyone gives a shit about the series still.
Depends on how many A-listers they can rope into the last two films
Tom Cruise as the final boss please
Fixed.

Guys, Del Toro is way too good to be wasted on Transformers.
It'll happen sooner or later, no movie franchise can resist entropy. What will be interesting is whether or not Universal will be able to Batman Begins that series after they reach that point.

Pacific Rim had tons of issues.
And it was still awesome.

No, but then Peter Jackson would step in and finally give the world the 5 hour long Transformers film that even Michael Bay has denied us.
Plus the 8 hour Extended Edition a year later.

Hey, at least he would actually focus on the goddamn Transformers.

I am curious how big a hit the visual effects in Pacific Rim 2 are going take. Wasn't there a story out there about the first one that ILM did it for like half price just to make a monster movie with Del Toro? And then they threw John Knoll in to oversee it. You know shit is real at ILM when they send Knoll.
Big project comes along with some major VFX challenges. Director or producers are panicked, worrying if it can be done on time and to the quality that they want. Then ILM says they are sending Knoll. The director is on the other end like this:

Admit it, The Fast and The Transformers: Space FAMIGLIA is all you have ever wanted in life.

At least you didn't fall asleep like many of the narcoleptics that populate GAF
Breh I saw that shit 4 times back to back opening day. Caught all 4 showings in Dbox. I mean during the 3rd and 4th time I walked out to grab a coffee during the lame ass middle part but man the action fucking rocked.

And yet Pacific Rim still ended up costing 200M+. Although for years I've (rightfully) talked shit about these Bayformers movies focusing on the humans, it would probably be cost-prohibitive to give most of the runtime to these VFX trash-gobots.
How do want to walk out of giant robots and giant monsters punching each other?
Pure bliss
You are in the better universe now. And guess what, Interstellar is here pretty good, too.
Like Bayformers, a lot of the movie focuses on awful, idon'tgivesinglefuckabout human characters. I haven't seen it in a long time but I think after the opening there's a space of 30 minutes where nothing of interest happens.

Precisely. Pacific Rim was that expensive at a steep VFX discount. It is nuts. Of course, one reason they were able to pull much of it off was they treated Battleship like R&D to get their water simulation effects to a certain level.

Peeps payin 12 bucks to nap in a small ass chair
If the movie was only that and not full of dumb, annoying shit then I could see your point. Frankly, most of the action isn't really all that great either. The fight in Hongkong is great, but that's about it.
I'll take those guys over anyone in TF.
At least.
At least.
I didn't feel it was as painful to sit through compared to the last two TF flicks, either. I had a good time.
I guess? The highs in it made it up for me.
Again not to constantly compare it to Transformers (but here I am anyways), I've got an even bigger appreciation for it. It's campy fun.
Imagine a world with a three and a half hour Peter Jackson Fall of Cybertron movie.
My directors cut I made from the ripped Blu-ray is 46 minutes long or so. All of that talking cut out.

It's hard to sleep when every theater a GAF poster enters is constantly undergoing waves of standing ovations and rolling laughter as the professional standups present at every screening they attend shout the perfect one-liners from their seats to appreciative audiences, welcome interruptions that just so happen to also perfectly reinforce the internal thoughts of the person posting.
All of these things happen every time, but only once the attendee has correctly calibrated expectations to "not Citizen Kane" before numbing their frontal lobe with a full tub of popcorn.

The fights aren't even that good. So sluggish and all at night and almost always in the rain.
Sluggish?
They has weight bro
And the CG looked so good 👀
Oh God
Am I wrong?
I should rewatch Pacific Rim

Anyone who doesn't like Pacific Rim is a loser
Looks like China is loving T5. It opened with $48M. That's 69% above Age of Extinction and is headed for a $100+ million weekend.
As per Deadline

Wait 69% of AOE or 69% above AOE? Either way it's too much lol
Aren't the review embargos for Spider-Man AND War for the Planet of the Apes up the same day?

Apes will have better reviews than Spidey.
I'd bet a paycheck on it. I'm excited to see Apes. Last one was great and rumblings are this one is better. Get to work on Batman Matt!
