Re: First Look at Transformers 5 Optimus Prime
I'm seeing a lot of Straw Men tossed about here, let's knock it off.
Gotta agree with Darth Cylon 100%. I myself will wait on reviews for T5 (after being mightily disappointed by TF 2/3/4) and if they're sub-par too I'll be sitting this one out.
I'm pretty sure the argument from most level-headed TF fans is not for the outright "death" of the movie franchise altogether, more like we want better quality movies. And pretty much the only way for the masses to speak out is with our wallets.
Let's not shit ourselves, while one may like every single Bay TF film, they're crap for the most part [you can like Scary Movie 5 more than The Godfather, but that doesn't make SM5 the better film.] And no I'm not saying TF films need to be Godfather either, simply try bring it back to the level of the first (2007) TF film when Bay was on a much tighter leash and it was at least a "good enough" popcorn flick.
Also: more movies/bigger box office does not automatically = better toys either. Just look at the decline in toys from
ROTF -> DOTM -> AOE
