Transformers: Age of Extinction New Trailer

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Let's just look at some of the RT scores for the movies we loved as kids...Mighty Ducks has abysmal RT scores but they made three of them and we, as kids, loved them

True but a very big percentage of transformer fans are well above over 25, 30. I was 25 when part 1 dropped and I was first in line. Now I am like fukk these movies. I'll peep in on blu ray, HBO or whatever but I done with being excited for this series until maybe someone else takes over and new writers are hired.

Yes but an even bigger percentage now are the kids who grew up on the first 3 and the cartoons that come on the HUB now. I hate to say it but eventually we aren't the target demo anymore. There's a great article on Forbes about the new TMNT trailer and the writer is around our age (mid to late 20s or early 30s) and talks about the trailer and his opinion on it and the franchise and then he says this:

Yes the trailer is busy to the point of being physically exhausting, the turtle designs look a little visually unpleasant, and the action is so frenetic that it’s difficult to follow. But it’s nice to remember sometimes that these films are supposed to be for kids. Back in 1987, no one complained that Masters of the Universe wasn’t dark-and-gritty enough for older He-Man fans. I am always a little amused when I run into parents annoyed that they can’t show their kids Michael Bay’s Transformers films because of their uber-violence and adult-skewing profanity/salaciousness.

Yes, I am aware of the hypocrisy of such a statement coming from someone who just celebrated the 25th anniversary a “not for kids” Batman film. But the fact remains that the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie will live or die at the box office not on the strength of audiences just over/under my age who harbor warm-and-fuzzy feelings toward the franchise but rather the copious young children who think the film looks like a “radical” good time regardless of how they first discovered the franchise.

Those of us film nerds arguing for source fidelity or worrying that it won’t work for us are perhaps missing the point. We had our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. If the series must continue, we should at least let today’s kids have their version. I hope it’s “good,” but my childhood will be just fine if it isn’t. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens from Paramount on August 8th. As always, we’ll see.

And that is exactly the same thing with Transformers. Yes there are the fans our age who are either with it or not but the kids who are fans outnumber us at this point and are much more devoted and rabid than we are. I know it's the thing to do on the internet to complain about every thing but I feel like sometimes we just gotta let shyt be. Every generation has their thing and for this generation of kids, this is their thing. Critics shytted on stuff we loved as a kid, including the transformers cartoons, the mighty ducks, Power Rangers and the power ranger movie but did that stop us from enjoying it? Nope. Did that stop our parents from taking us to see it? Nope

No offense but I hated power rangers

Never could understand how dudes got into that shyt. I think i was just outside the age range when it blew up. Thank god.

Lol see that's my point. Whereas I loved power rangers but kids older than me thought it was the stupidest thing ever put on a TV screen. And the show never got good reviews and the movie got horrendous reviews. Yet here we are and the franchise continues and it's because they realized the same thing Hasbro and paramount realized for transformers and turtles: eventually you have to create new fans and not rely on your old fans because they more than likely grow out of it after a while

Right...I'm not even a big transformers fan...I watched the cartoon but I forgot all about that shyt once I hit junior high. Dudes remember obscure character names and plot lines, I remember the main charcters...and only when I saw a re run or something that sparked memories... But when the movie was announced I was like hell yeah.

And I would see a new transformers in a heart beat if I wasn't fooled the last two times. Movies were wack. Awesome effects but shytty overall. This one looks like it could be the worst. I'm sure you will let us all know soon..

It can't get any worse than ROTF, breh. If it is then .

EDIT - Just looked at the RT ratings:

ROTF - 19%
AOE - 17%

Oh shyt.

 

[|r|e|a|d|]

it sits at such a low percentage because this has become the film series everyone loves to hate....but then they go see it anyway. reviewers have never, and will never be kind to michael bay movies, and the internet trolls who like to think they are pseudo film critics will give this 0/10 on every ratings site across the board. these movies are not supposed to be for the 30 year olds who were kids in the 80s, they are made for kids today and to keep the brand alive. they are entertaining, action packed, and full of hot women. if you go into this expecting anything less your a fukking moron. who the fukk cares about plot in a movie about giant alien robots?

I'll tell u who don't give a fugg about a plot Michael Bey don't care bout a plot but I'll say this that shyt was stunning to watch the visuals were sick. Its almost like he was showing off at points w/sum of the effects. The kid loved it and is bouncing off the walls right now and at the end of the day that's what its all about

Who cares about target demographic? When you go out to watch you know damn well there won't be any semblance of a coherent plot.. I'm out here trying to watch robots fukking other robots up.. not some intense human-based storyline sprinkled with hints of robots.

Why the fukk are people treating this like a Oscar nomination? You looking at walmart fried chicken (in terms of storyline) and comparing it to grandma's best. stop doing that.

you wouldn't treat there will be blood as an action film would you?

shyt is shyt no matter the characters, CGI or script. Aint nobody caring about if its SAG worthy. Transformers has been shytty since the second half of the first one. part two was shyt and part 3 was shyt (and the tried to make up for it with a long as final battle.).

oh no doubt they're shyt.. but i still love it. only for the robot scenes. that shyt in 1080p is glorious

I was never a transformers fan from my youth so this is still relatively new to me, so
same with star trek.. both films were awesome to me, but i never gave a single fukk about the series

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

So aint nobody watch this trash yet

 

[jackswstd]

Just got home from a midnight showing and it was
It's the best one IMO. The action and visuals were stunning when the Dino Bots appeared and the final act I felt like a damn kid again. Second best movie experience of the Summer behind X-Men. And this movie proves once again MOST humans ain't shyt.

 

[joeychizzle]

They got the world premiere in my city but I ain't had the time..
I feel like running up on mark walhberg and calling him out over this bullshyt

You lost all credibility with that statement. Better than Cap 2


Fluck outta here

 

[radio rahiem]

If cap 2 released during the summer, you'd have a point
