Michael Bay's Transformers movies might've become indistinguishable noise over the years, but if there is one worth talking about, it's 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen starring Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox -- a rare case of a movie that wasn't ever written. A writer's strike began right before production and forced Bay to go make this film with nothing but a tiny document of major plot points given by the screenwriters. The movie did make bank at the box office but the quality wasn't anything to write home about. So, in today's anatomy of a failure let's look at Revenge of the Fallen and see what happens when you make a movie without a script or a writer. Hopefully the studios are listening.

I, like Beavis and Butthead, do like buxom, 100% naked women’s private parts, but even I, they and most of us in the world don’t like how Michael Bay represents them because it’s shameless objectification towards women that so-called SJWs would call us sexist for hating (in fact, even with its over-the-top misogyny that Michael Bay himself thinks is a great representation of his male teenage demographic, the toxic side of the fandom who thinks they are justso egalitarian would still act like we are white-privilege, anti-feminist misogynists if we hate Bayformers in general except for maybe Age of Extinction because the Bayformers fandom sure likes to complain about it and The Last Knight even though the latter is the return to anti-form).
And don't forget the mandatory curse words for no good reason
@@kieranstark7213 "proviledge" xD
And yet this isnt even the worst Transformers movie ...
Eh, ROTF is the worst in terms of humor and story. TLK is the worst mainly because the story feels so scatterbrained and unfocused, and there were so many story ideas that had potential, but they didn’t take the time to explore or develop them.
As for Age of Extinction... I actually think that movie isn’t as bad as other people say. Sure, it’s got problems, but it’s nowhere near as bad as ROTF or TLK.
I’d love to see Filmento cover Transformers: The Last Knight. I know Revenge of the Fallen is bad but the Last Knight is even worse.
TLK Megatron is kinda cool though
@Caritz Stahl Uh yes it is.
I don't understand who actually goes to see them. I wouldn't be able to sit through 2 hours of that.
Even with all their flaws, the original trilogy with Shia Laboeuf are the best in the franchise. They just have a very special, fun, nostalgic flare to them that keep coming back to.
I agree
Absolutely
best, most underrated comment
Agreed. I sometimes catch myself watching the first Transformers film out of nostalgia. ^^
Man just thinking about the first movie gets me so hopelessly nostalgic, 2007 was such a great year for me one of the best years of my childhood and one thing I remember fondly of that year was that movie and how it was everywhere.
There is one thing I can praise this movie for.
New Divide is a thing.
that song is still a bop
Thanks Chester ❤
Amen
Transformers introduce Linkin park in my life, so i give them that.
And Long Haul's design
Honestly I only watch these films to see giant robots kick the gears out of each other.
Yeah, but when there's an actual good story behind it, makes everything A LOT better.
That's why gundam is great, for example
I watched the first two only for Megan fox.
@@ppsaha1994 based and decpti-pilled
This is why i watch transformers 1 so much better because there was a decrnt script and pacing that add up tension ad weight that was perfectly well crafted done then the later sequels did.
Lmao, fight scenes are pretty good.
As a kid, I didn't care about good story, this was my favorite transformers movie
same, jetfire infused prime was epic
Yeah the railgun scene and Starscream turning into a frekin jet still awesome until this day
same watching kickasses
When we were kids, its not that we didnt care about a good story, it was that we mostly never understood it, you gonna ask a 7 yr old whether he wants to see inception or Transformers 2 you know the answer
@@marypoppins989 well one of those have giant awesome transforming car robots and one does not
Regarding your megatron point, actually we already know going into the second movie that Megatron is still pretty much in one piece. That was shown as clear as day in the end of the first movie how they dumped his body into the ocean, and they just reused that scene in the second movie. And, there ain’t nothing in the ocean that can consume a whole giant friggin space metal robot.
Except for the dangers of the deep ocean itself lmfao
The point he is making is that you can’t make a movie that 100% relies on the audience remembering important plot points from the previous film. It would have been better to subtly remind the audience throughout the opening sequence, but an exposition dump is still better than nothing at all.
Chloride attack would have pitted the metal and lead to stress corrosion cracking.
@@04Saleen256 wait if what you said is true then nothing in Avengers Endgame make sense then? Coz they never mentioned how Avengers met each other, they ALL just suddenly there, no story how they got together or met.
@@orbeat6557 you can’t really compare anything with the MCU, especially the later phases, to traditional film making. Marvel Studios has broken the mold of what a franchise can be on film. All 22 films are, for the most part, a long interconnected narrative, that plays more like a serialized television show than a movie franchise.
Reasons why i watched Transformers 1-3:
-Shia Labeouf
-Megan Fox
-Transformers fighting
-Epic Music
-Fast jokes
Not the reasons:
-The story
-The storytelling

I'll admit. As a kid, when I watched this, I loved it. I watched revenge if the fallen so many times and I've never been bored watching and I've never gotten sick of it. I love this movie.
Mind you, I'm very easily entertained, so... there's that 😂

Same I’m just a fan. I love seeing Transformers in live action! I feel blessed after watching the 80s cartoon growing up! All these ppl picking apart every damn aspect! GET A LIFE
i hated this movie as a kid but loved Dark of the Moon because of the worm skycraper scene. That shit was awesome
Remember when everyone thought Revenge of the fallen was the worst transformers movie? They weren’t prepared for the shit storm that would come next....(aoe and tlk)
aoe was weird, and tlk was downright fantastical and super confusing.
I liked all the movies except aoe... seriously I don’t understand why you guys think they’re so bad. You get big robots beating the shit out of each other in fights that last like one hour. What more could you want?
Age of Extinction was waaaay better than Revenge of the Fallen in my opinion. They actually try to give the characters arcs (not every single one, it's Transformers people, not Shakespeare) and establish the main goal of everyone at a decent rate. My main issue would the pacing: At almost *3 hours*, you are absolutely exhausted by the time you finish it and it didn't need to be that long. My advice for anyone would be stop half into it and then finish it the other day, makes for a much better experience.
The Last Knight is absolute trash tho lol
@@doge8825 I dunno... Good character writing? *Looks at the Gundam Universal Century*
I saw bits and pieces of The Last Knight and the constant change of the aspect ratio annoyed me.
This movies established that the Human military can now one shot any decepticon with that railgun, yet they didn't do shit with it aside from one scene.
Humans:
>Outnumber the transformers millions to one.
>Have the technology to kill transformers with ease.
>Have enough of an arsenal of explosives to annihilate every bit of infrastructure transformers could possibly leave behind.
>Have a track record of surviving in near impossible circumstances and taking down biological titans with nothing but sharp sticks, teamwork and an unrelenting will to overcome any challenge. So even blasting them back to the stone age won't stop them from ambushing you, salvaging your technology and studying it, and using kamikaze runs to destroy you if necessary.
Transformers:
>Have no biological weapons of true weapons of mass destructions.
>Only have access to very limited yet overblown bouts of contained violence.
>Cannot even come close to hoping to kill humans faster than they reproduce.
>Can barely even reproduce themselves, requiring very limited resources that are hard to scavenge.
>Have a population in the double digits.
How exactly are the decepticons planning to win the war again? Before the railgun at least they had resilience going for them. We hadn't seen a single human weapon manage to kill them. But now, they simply already lost. That gun is exactly the point at which the series lost all sense of purpose. That's why they can't acknowledge it. If they did, there'd be no stakes.
@@thespanishinquisition4078 they have the high ground
@@thespanishinquisition4078 see, you are trying to watch a Michael Bay movie as more than a BoomBangityBoomBoomBang fest.
@@RagingRugbyst 😆😆😆😆
Agreed. Despite this super-powerful weapon, which doesn't yet even exist at such operational capacity in real life, being apparently readily available, I don't recall it EVER being used again in future sequels when it could've been a huge help.
“Is our movie not worth one exposition dump?”
“You’ll never stop at one.”
It's like the joke of only having 1 drink. Just a really, really big one. Same thing here, there's not that many exposition dumps. Just a 20 minute long one.
"I'll take you all on!"
*dumps more*
There was a time when I was just a kid and didn't care about things like character development and plot. A time when because I wasn't deaf to everything that makes a story I just watched and rated movies based on how cool they looked. A time when I thought Revenge of the Fallen was the coolest thing I ever saw.
It was a simpler time.

Can't have bad writing if there's no writings
Rational people like me: You call Mikalea Banes a stronger woman than Joan of Arc? This is forced female empowerment.
Michael Bay: There is no female empowerment, misogynist.
Taking into account that there were no writers on this film (I didn’t realize this previously) it bumps it up a bit in my book. I’ll give it a C-. It’s impressive that it came out like it did with out a script.. especially since that last one that had writers and was hot garbage..(not bumblebee, the last night)
I like Filmento, but this video is a huge fail. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen DID have a writer. In fact, it had THREE credited writers, and they were paid $8 million for the script. What they turned in was more than just a "tiny document" or a barebones outline. Yes, they delivered a treatment (which was actually 20 pages kind) right before the strike began, but Filmento seems to think that that was all that they did. What happened next was that Michael Bay turned the outline into a 60-page treatment, and then he LOCKED THE THREE WRITERS IN A HOTEL FOR FOUR MONTHS to force them to work and turn in a full script. What Filmento was confused by was that this movie had an unusual production process, and not just because of the strike. Bay began working on action sequences before he had a script, and then he made the writers write a script around the action sequences that were more less set in stone. Thus, it's insulting to writers to say that this movie had no writers or no script. They did the best that they could under the extreme circumstances that they were forced into.
@@ydgmdluTbh, I remember hearing about this from somewhere else
@@ydgmdlu Apparently, Bay wanted the film to be delayed in order for the writers to further refine the script, but the studio had the release date set in stone, and as a result, the script couldn’t change from whatever was jammed out by him and the screenwriters.
So even then, it’s not exactly Bay’s fault.
Yes
@@ydgmdlu I think he was just being hyperbole. He’s still made the point that, without a writer to flesh out any of that stuff out, “it all goes to sh&t”

In fact, I was the target demographic for Transformers 2, an early teen, when it came out and I remember getting a headache and feeling queasy and uncomfortable from how awful it was.
@@arkhos1948
Someone's salty. In fact, someone must have or have had bad taste themselves. Considering you're a total weeb by your profile pick, I'm not surprised.
Transformers 2 is my go to for "It made money doesn't mean it's good." "A lot of people saw it doesn't mean it's good." And "You enjoyed it doesn't mean it's good."
Because I'm a simple man. I see a scene where a giant robot rips the spine out of another giant robot, I love it.
Even if the character designs are so bad I can't even tell who either of them are, what side they're on...
There's nothing wrong with Subjectively enjoying Transformers 2.
There's a lot wrong with arguing it's Objectively good.
Yeah,I know it sucks,but I like it anyway.
I never really had any problem differentiating each bot from the other or with what was happening during a fight......
I always thought (still do) that the ones complaining about that had eye problems 😂😂
Man if I had a dollar for every time bootlicking fans got triggered whenever I said the same thing I'd be very wealthy.
Same here :D
Sometimes simple stuff can be very enjoable. I am very biased though because I watched those movies as a teenager and they were THE SHIT for me. Thats still clouding my judgement these days
Yes but what separates films like Bayformers with films like Terminator2 or Mad Max Fury Road is that: 1) A simple but well developed plot can make a difference. 2) The Character’s arc 3) Well made action scenes (to feel drama, suspense, adrenaline)
"a strike happened that prevented workers from doing their job" is definitely an interesting way to phrase it
Some writers still wanted to write, but if you're in the writers guild and the guild is on strike, not much you can do. I'm sure ANY writer would have slapped together some schlock script for micheal bay money.
Rewatching this video I just realized theres a very subtle "Martha!" Edited in at 9:40
Deception's ability to completely fake a human being conveniently never appeared ever again after T2
True. But also, don't ever use "T2" as an abbreviation for Transformers 2 again. There is only one T2 and that is Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Leopold Taylor its because very few transformers actually have the ability to do that. They're called pretenders. But your argument is still very true.

@@masterpenguin8472 the giant cool robots fighting... Its like godzilla movie... most of us doesn't care about the story
*Me* : From what I got in a nutshell......
Basically the decepticons found out another source of energon (sun killer) but didn't know the exact co-ordinates..... Sam became the key to it after he got zapped by allspark fragment....
Sam and his gang go on a journey to stop them.....
The problem i felt was Fallen came out of nowhere and the college sequence with the parents felt out of place.....
And some jokes were..... not that good.....
Me: Exactly
@Poppy Kneegrow Pacific Rim was a better mech movie in my opinion. At the least the confusing plot of that movie could be explained away by Guillermo Del Toro’s fascination with Neon Genesis Evangelion and the movie essentially being a failed attempt at making a more mainstream End of Evangelion.
I remember the cgi in this movie melted my eyes back in the day.
The parents are unbearable in this movie. Annoying af
Bro the parents have always been unbearable
They're like my parents. Well, mostly my mom. She liked this movie (garbage).
If I had parents like those two parents in the Transformers franchise I would not need the "But I need to be in as many explosions as possible!" excuse. I would just be looking for my death that keeps eluding me just to torture me.
And the Decepticons just dragged then to Egypt too but then didn't even use them as hostages as I remember it?
My parents may have had unbearable moments, but this movie takes the cake in unbearable.
The worst TF movie is The Last Knight
They promoted that Optimus Prime is evil in this movie but they only show it a couple of minutes
I agree.
No, Revenge Of The Fallen is DULLLLLL
i think age of extinction was worse tbh
In my very humble, yet very unpopular opinion, Dark of the Moon was the worst. I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t get into it. Granted there are some things I liked like the action, visuals, and score to name a few. But I just hated the characters and story. Don’t get me wrong, I really wanted to like that movie, but I just couldn’t like it. I know the others are bad and worse, but something about them just makes me feel invested in those. Yes, even The Last Knight, the most despised film in the Transformers movies, made me feel invested in these movies and tv shows.
@@largeformatmaster2994 Bruh COME ON

lol, an empty F-18 Super Hornet is 14tons and Optimus Prime is 4-5 tons. So yes.

Dumbest comment so far
As long as it plays Linkin Park at then, I'll be happy.

I feel like everyone is blaming Michael Bay meanwhile the script writers are completely unscathed
Cheung Micheal Cheung Kimchi yes I agree. I have been a light bayformers fan cuz I find the movies entertaining although I acknowledge the flaws. But everyone is just complaining about Michael Bay. Although he is the chief and controls almost everything, and can decide what to be in the movie or not. He doesn’t write the dialogue (although he had to do something in rotf due to the strike) nor the script. A person people could blame is Ehren Kruger. He co-wrote ROTF, and wrote DOTM and AOE all alone (god knows why). Although I found DOTM pretty good, the juvenile humour in ROTF and most of the script in AOE is terrible and that is mostly due to him. He frickin was part of the writers of the SCREAM movies. the transformers movies which has so much talent otherwise behind the screen, could have done so much better with any other talented writer/writers but they sticked with that guy. I think Bay liked him so he cam be blamed for that as well. But Bay didn’t care about the scripts though. He only cared about the VFX, the action and that everything looked cool.
Never understood why MB is blamed for things when he has his own style of making films. The writers he gets or provided are the ones to blame.
@@believer4002 Right on. He's the director & sometimes directors don't care about scripts. All they care about is how the movie is made, looks, & how the actors do their lines. That's it.
A. Thompson yes, and even the biggest Bay supporters have to agree that he is not a talented storyteller and good at character or plot development. But like some of his movies besides transformers, especially The Rock, 13 Hours and Pain and Gain shows that Bay with a good writer can create a very good movie. Ehren Kruger is not a talented screenwriter imo. But if you look at all Bays movies it is a reason you often find the juvenile sex humour, crazy out of place stuff, weird dialogue and fast-paced action. It’s because that is exactly what Bay wants and he is very stubborn and demanding. But like I previously said, when he let’s up a little of his usually gonzo weirdness, and wants to make a normal plot driven movie, he proves that he can do it with style.
@@believer4002 Exactly. 13 Hours is a movie that needs to be talked about more
Even as a kid I didn’t like this movie. I thought the jokes, action, tone, and story were all a huge step down from the first. Now it’s completely unwatchable for me. DOTM is my personal favorite
I don't know how you don't have a million subs bro. I've seen all your videos and rewatched a good couple of em
me-''why are we in Egypt?''
movie-''shut up''
@Black Ninja that should have been revealed and told properly in the story itself, and I was qwoting the old plain ex desepticon telling the police human to shit up when the human asked why are we in Egypt, which I aslo asked while watching the movie
I saw this movie only months after having been to the middle east and visited Petra, the pyramids and the temple they destroyed in the movie. Not only are they not only a few hours drive from each other, the pyramids are surrounded by Cairo, a massive city, not in the middle of nowhere.
Isn't that the part where they have the tombs of Petra and the Great Pyramid like they're next door to each other?
@@aussiewanderer6304 Was there much of the pyramid left after Prime blew it up?
That moment when Optimus and The Fallen fell from the pyramid right on top of Karnak Temple's columns, even though the two sites are separated by an hour and a half flight in real life.
At least in that instance they didn't reference the locations by name. In the same movie they drive from Jordan to Egypt in 10 minutes, after explicitly announcing they are going to drive from Jordan to Egypt.
@@yessum15 Man, they teleported in Egypt, only to drive to Petra, Jordan then back to Egypt in like half an hour :D
@Заработок от 3000 в день Bro, I'm not Russian :D I don't understand a single word...
@@MetoF50Narliev he's dumb af😂😂
Still, Michael Bay is a genius because he knows how cinema works: Cinemas need summer blockbusters and this was pre MCU era. And pre woke era - if you would put in a hot chick into a movie just for being hot, you'd get called out by journalists for it. It's also one of the few movies that you want to see in cinema because everything is huuuuge - your movie needs huge set pieces, so people want to see it in the cinema. Hence the 800 Mio. box office. It also made mountains of cash with Blu-ray releases because this was one of the few movies you show your friends to showoff your new OLED tv ;O)
In my opinion, the amazing visuals, badass fight scenes, the fantastic sound design, and bumblebee himself just outweighs the bad parts of the movie. In fact all of the transformers movies.
I actually liked the movie, but having said that they could’ve done so much with history of Primes and Optimus being the only one to be able deal wtih them
@Chris 29 we need 69 comments to balance it out
@Isma'Il Moore 69 nice ;)
That and they could have made Sam learn to respect women (re: Mikaela Banes and Carly Spencer) so that they wouldn’t yell at him for standing them up. Even this video showed a clip of it when Mikaela furiously caught Sam Witwicky cheating in his teenage college roommate dorm!
True dat.
They could've done so much better with everything.
For all these sins I still didn't actually dislike this movie... *There I said it*
Age of Extinction and The Last Knight however...
I didn't either. There are some moments I wished the sequels would expand on, like Sam's growth and that freaking Decepticon satellite. Transformers Dark Moon was when I start to lose my interest (why not kill Mikaela instead of separated; you think the Decepticons would use her as hostage or something), and the 2 movies after, which you mentioned, just disappointed me.
Honestly, Age of Extinction has its problems, but in my opinion, ROTF and TLK are worse. ROTF for its humor, and TLK because of its wasted potential.
Same,but i can admit that AOE final battle was interesting but thats it. The first 3 and bumblebee are good to me
Same, it’s serviceable to me. A literal movie to turn my brain not off but put on auto.
The first one and ROTF were great. Even with the loss of Megan Fox in the third it was still good. But facts without Shia and the fact that it all turned cheesy AF the last two have been wack
i feel like if there wasnt a rumored writers strike that happened during the production of Revenge of the Fallen this movie wouldve been a mega hit like its first counterpart.
I hate myself for thinking this was a masterpiece back in 4th grade when I watched this in theater.
I still like this movie tbh
It’s a masterpiece
4:20 actually at the end of TF1 you see Optimus Prime pull part of the Allspark out of Megatron's chest which means that he would have given it to them at some point after TF1 and before the events of TF2.
Megatron's remains were established to be at the bottom of the ocean because they dropped his body into the ocean at the end of TF1 and they never said he was in one piece, they actually imply the opposite because before he's revived, Scalpel has one of the constructions killed and salvaged for parts that they use to rebuild Megatron.
Big man
@@Theorymus for real
Ah yes... I forgot that ridiculous idea that Sam couldn't tell Mikaela that he loved her. As if a guy like this would hesitate 1 second in real life.
I love this movie... But because of the action and soundtrack. Most of the dialoges either made me let out a small gasp of air or cringe and it is sad because this movie had some interesting ideas to put to use. Ideas that will never get a proper execution now
People that make these movies should have a very simple main plot. I love movies like Dredd, where the plot is basically: get to the top of the building and defeat the bad guy. Then a lot of interesting stuff happens along the way. But the important part is that the main plot is very simple and easy to follow. Braindead pop corn flicks should have a super simple main plot you know from the beginning of the movie, and then the entertaining parts are the obstacles they have to overcome over the course of the movie.
What about Last Knight?
Awful ending of this franchise.
Im my mind everything after the third movie doesnt exist. But I also made thr mistake and bonded with some autobot characters (besides optimus and bumblebee) and well...we all know how that turned out :c
Still crying to this day
@@MusiXificati0n Same. After the third one it just went downhill with the removal of Sam and so many iconic transformers. They also pretty much reached the high point in action with the full city battle in Dark of the Moon.
It wasn't meant to be the ending. But we the people had enough of the awful movies and bombed Bumblebee. Making plans for Transformers 6 disappear.
There is meant to be a sequel to Last Knight but the disapointing returns on that movie have put things on hold for now!!
watching the last Knight is like solving a puzzle without any pieces
After the third one they should’ve stopped at least with Bay directing. Bumblebee was a good start.
In my opinion bay was not a good fit for transformers. I didn't like the first one he made in 2007. There's a lot of unutilized potential in the original source material that bay refused to tap into so that he could pursue the sort of nonsense that characterizes his movies. A director like Travis a Knight would have been a better fit from the start
I didn't watch Bumblebee. Not because it didn't look good, but because I've already been burned by 5 movies. It's like going to a restaurant and being served garbage food 5 consecutive times and on the 6th they say "don't worry it good this time"
@@absolutez3r019 I didn't like bumblebee. At least the others are dumb but contained a lot of enjoyable actions, Bumblebee is dumb and also boring in my opinion (emphasis on my opinion)
@@absolutez3r019 the main protagonist in Bumblebee is actually somewhat likeable and relatable (not the Transformer, the human), which makes her much easier to watch
The main protagonist in Bumblebee is boring as f. And all they do in the movie is walking around aimlessly. And the girl's dive at the end of the movie is the cherry on top. Boring movie. 3/10
I think for the getting to Optimus part, they wouldn’t know if starscream was gonna track them, and ultimately wanted to play it safe by letting bumblebee go on his own. It also sets up the point of saving sams parents becuase he can’t risk them getting recaptured
14:05 Well that just perfectly summarizes this movie
"I told you I was opening a space bridge, it's the fastest way to travel to Egypt!"
"Why are we in Egypt!?"
"Shut up!"
The bit that got me the most was when the navy agreed to fire their rail gun because someone rang them up and told them to, WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY CREDENTIALS!
But I guess he did sound a little teste
"Fate rarely calls in a time of our choosing" is a very deep quote from optimus and just because of that line I would of never guessed they didn't have writers...
OP himself is just kinda a walking fortune cookie printer, and that is not really something that difficult to write. Not to degrade, but that's what he's been since G1, and I would have it no other way.
Would have* never guessed.
Is it possible the writer's strike was over by the time they got to post-production and were recording the robots' lines?
I acknowledge the overload of frat boy humor, I acknowledge that the film contradicts itself, almost in back to back scenes (Like when Megatron says "even in death there is no command but mine" then in the next scene he calls the Fallen his master), I concede all this. But I must confess, that ROTF is my favorite of the series for ONE REASON-Optimus Prime was given PROPER presentation. In the first film Prime was nerfed beyond recognition. In THIS one He took on 3 decepticons-including Megatron and almost won. Additionally he displayed fatherly wisdom that allowed him to see beyond the immediate and into the big picture. When asked if one human life mattered more than all of cybertron, Prime said "You'll never stop at one-I'll TAKE YOU ALL ON!" That is Optimus Prime-a cybertronian freedom fighter with the wisdom to understand the character of his enemy enough to know that he cannot be trusted no matter how much sense his offers may make. After the first film where Prime was slapped around and treated like a punching bag all I wanted out of the sequel was for Prime to be awesome-and he WAS. On top of that Jetfire was amazing and this version of Jet Optimus was MUCH cooler than the Armada series from which it came!
Excellent points.. I absolutely agree with everything you said.. and to add to that, I also think it had the best story (and the best story progression by visiting different places which actually gives an "adventure" type aura to the movie, unlike the others in the franchise)
You know, there are millions of idiots on this planet who are always ready to follow a couple of "special" idiots among them.. one or two of them says something like "this movie has no this, or this movie has no that" and sheep crowd starts repeating and believing what they say..
The twins had a reason to fight, Mudflap questions why their even listen to Sam as Skids kinda defends him with this quote “He killed Megatron.” leading them into a scuffle.
The Writer's Strike REALLY messed this one up!
Even Michael Bay says that this is his worst movie ever! Say what you want about Bay, but if he says that some movie is trash, then that shows it's safe to say that the bar for that movie is TRULY subterranean!
He should have updated his statement to say second worst. There was no writer's strike when TLK came, now was there? Lul
Michael Bay is really something. I don't think you can name too many other people that can make so much money by making a 2 hour long ad.
I'll be honest, I don't think Michael Bay is the worst Director ever. I can think of 5 directors that are way worse. Micheal Bay is capable of making a good movie, the Rock is proof. But I admit he hasn't made anything good in a long time.
It's probably been mentioned many times before at this point, but I have to say, I love that the version of Michael Bay is the South Park version of Michael Bay. It's like a Nothing Burger topped with another Nothing Burger. It's like he has absolutely nothing to add, because he doesn't know about anything about plot development, story progression, or even running a coherent script.
He is literally the caricature that South Park made of him. BOOM! POW! EXPLOSION!
And I know that responding to your own comment is tacky, but the Transformers franchise deserved better than this. It's the main reason why I have refused to see ANY of the movies, besides Bumblebee.
*You gotta be honest, a film without a script with a high budget in amazing visuals, acting and outstanding music, not to mention a really successful box office point, its most impressive, and considering the voices against the film are the few percentage of the box office, Revenge of The Fallen is anything but a failure.*
This is how I imagine they maked this movie:
- Kaboom ?
- Yes Michael, kaboom !
(I'm gonna keep this comment with incorrect grammar just to annoy people)
Nice callback to the Penguins of Madagascar!
I'll begin to refer to Michael Bay as Rico from now on.

Transformers movies were about great action & dumb comedy. A very simple concept. No one went to theaters expecting Francis Ford Coppola level writing in a movie about massive space robots lmao
Transformers 2: When the MacGuffin is an Exposition Dump.
I still like the 1st Transformers film and I will still defend the 2nd film as a guilty pleasure, but after the 3rd film I refused to watch anymore though.
Only good part of the 3rd movie was Shockwave. The 4th movie just was kinda weird and the 5th was legitimately one of the worst paced movies I have ever seen.
Me too. I did like when optimus finally kicked ass in the third movie though. But after that the movies were bs.
@@johnwinchesterp2963 I'll give the 3rd film this: It's decent to watch and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley does a good job as the new Love Interest Carly. She's more likable than Megan Fox, honestly. Plus, ths action sequences are better and fun, and, last but not least, it has the late Leonard Nimoy( Spock) as the villiain, Sentinel Prime. Simply put, the third and 1st are better.
The first movie is ok, the rest is meh.
Love the scene where the Autobots entering Earth. It's epic and with great soundtrack.
@@auradzrts691 Loved the final battle in the first one and Sam defeating Megratron.
