it was gonna be garbage whether it was 2 and 1/2 hours or 5 fukking minutes. Michael Bay is a hack.
A lot of these summer movies feel bloated. It's like the studio brehs are afraid people are gonna demand their money back if the runtime isn't at least 2 hours. Personally I would rather a tight, cohesive movie than a movie that borders on overstaying it's welcome and has me looking my watch.
All of the good summer movies I saw this year would have been BETTER with like 20-30 minutes cut depending on the movie.
Captain America was just over two hours but it actually had a good story. A lot was going on that it kept you engaged. I don't mind a 2 hour run time but anything beyond that has to be a dope story like lord of the rings or a biopic.
Either the action scenes will be long/dragged out or there is a lot of filler bullshyt. The script is probably all over the place.
The plot isn't complex so I don't know how they would want to push the run time for at long. I'm gonna still watch but going in with very low expectations.
That's the M.O. for a Michael Bay movie. If that's how you feel, you're not gonna like any of his movies.
I never really had High Expectations for these Transformers Movies. I'm a Fan but not a Real Fan of Transformers, they weren't a part of my Childhood at all which is why I probably enjoyed all of the Movies so far much more than Transformer Fanboys did. I guess I just like these Movies mainly for the Visuals.
No, Micheal Bay hasn't met an explosion he never liked. Going off of memory, I think his only 2 hour film was the original Bad Boy. The other films (going by my memory) could use a good trim here and there.A lot of these summer movies feel bloated.

Armageddon was extra long, Pearl harbor was super long, and Bad Boys 2 had like 3 45 minute blocks that could stand to be removed.
I haven't seen the rock in years so I'm going off memory here. The beginning when he was a chemist and we are introduced to his "hot" girlfriend, that can be removed. The entire scene drag racing through San Francisco way entirely too long, and about 3 other things that made the movie drag. Pearl Harbor was like 3 hours. That movie stunk.The Rock was 2 hours and 16 minutes, but it didn't feel that long and it was probably his best movie. Pearl Harbor was about 45 minutes too long
