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 at 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.

See I loved Cap 2 but I distinctly remember a brief spurt here and there where I was slightly bored. I definitely remember it feeling a tad too long as well.

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.

:comeon: 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.:yeshrug:

these movies are nothing like the cartoons though. the cartoons were cheesy and you would had to have been a kid to like them. I was more into the toys and the cartoon movie (though I watched the cartoon every Saturday). Some cartoons/comics are hard to transfer to live action. I think the struggle with this franchise is incorporating human subplots to draw a more diverse audience.

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.

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.

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

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.

His best movie was the original Bad Boys. And that was 15 minutes too long.

so I read a review of the movie and i'll be damned, i'm surprised by a couple things:

1.
this is the first of another 3 movies

2.
galvatron is in the movie....he's one of the man- made transformers created to hunt down auto-bots

3.
there is gonna be hints of unicron

...as much as I've disliked the majority of shyt bay has done with this franchise, after seeing the trailer with the dinobots and reading spoilers 2 and 3, I already know i'm be there to see these shyts, smh.....
