I blame this film for the transformers tie in game "Rise of the dark spark" because this movie and it's wretched tie in video game tried to connect themselves to the two good transformers video games that are referred to as the cybertron games and it's an offense to my senses *that the tie in game even exists*
Lockdown was a bounty hunter Cybertronian who worked for whoever paid him in upgrades, which was mostly the Decepticons. He was a pretty popular character from the 2007 Transformers Animated series. Quite obviously, he was better-written in that show. When people say he's a cool character who should've been in a better movie, that's the character they're talking about.
First movie? Legitimately fun. Second movie? Worse version of the first movie. Third movie? Goes so insane at the end that I can't help but love it. THIS ONE? Never saw a Bayformers movie again after this.
About those human-cloned transformers that can become particles and materialize or dematerialize, I would have played them in either of two ways: - This power basically gives them super regeneration and the ability to perform some impossible dodges and movements, therefore they should be glass cannons that can be easily taken out but always come back unless you manage to destroy some kind of "core" that is inside the cloud of metal dust. - They have extremely high amounts of HP and can easily regenerate but because the dust is their entire body they have zero armor and protection and their super regeneration has a limited supply of energy that needs to recharge, so all you have to do is overpower their regeneration and they will just shut down for allowing a finishing attack.
13:26 Oh trust me, Boss, it's MUCH dumber. OK, so initially, the Galvatron in this movie was meant to be their big Optimus Prime model; major big sell, y'know. So, they had the bright idea to take MEGATRON'S AI, and try to replicate the code and put the new KSI in the model. There's just one hitch: it was just Megatron's brain. Yeah, no special AI based on Megatron's template, like we'd get a Motormaster or even a Clutch from that. Nope, just Megatron's brain wholesale, because that minicon that was next to Wheelie, that little ass-cyst Brains? Yeah, he just routed the original Megatron into KSI systems, which granted him the ability to make the Galvatron body and take over the KSI drones. So yeah, it's even dumber than Cody's making it out.
32:00 The Romeo and Juliet shit wouldn't bother me so much if this was just another movie. Like a romcom featuring Mark Walberg. But this is a movie about space robots and robot dinosaurs. GET THIS SHIT OUTTA MY MOVIE
Transformers 4 was the film that finally obliterated the franchise from the attention of mass audiences. Every cinematic entry that has bombed (including the good ones) owes their losses to this cancer tumor of a film. Last Knight especially suffered for being both bad and because T4 was the straw that broke the camel’s back that badly. Also I would argue Peter Jackson came back to direct The Hobbit because Guillermo Del Toro left the project after getting sick of WB’s stupidity (Jackson especially looks miserable on set photos), whilst I’d also say a lot of his projects after LotR and King Kong never caught on with people. So yeah, Jackson now just has his name on infinitely inferior corpo-fanfic projects like Rohirrim because that’s the only thing getting him money now, not just because he actually wants to keep making more Tolkien content. Same can also be said for Andy Serkis honestly (literally nobody wants a Gollum movie).
What hurts me the most is the wasted potential this all is. Look at the War for Cybertron games, Transformers Prime, or the newest movie: Transformers One. There's room for fantastic movies to be made. But instead...we got this shit.
It’s not saying much but the only highlights of this film are getting Megatron’s OG voice actor back and the Dinobots. Yeah the execution of these could’ve been so much better but hey take what I can get.
“Why don’t we just clone Hitler then?” Too late. DC Comics did that already. Twin clones of Hitler in fact. Unsurprisingly that was of course a very stupid idea.
there comes a point where you cease to hate things like the transformers, and begin to laugh. Specifically, laughing at the movies and the utter lack of skill that those behind them have shown. Why? Because I would rather laugh at atrocities than despair. Despair simply drags everything down.
The actual “FIRST” movie that gave me a migraine when watching it in theaters. I think I actually lost the plot because my head hurt a lot. Not even Morbius gave me a migraine, no movie has ever given me one.
Hey, the Great Wall movie is not that bad! Well, it's not that good either, but "unrealistic tactics" is not the reason. Especially coming from people who like Warhammer :D
@@OldManReacts OKAY I'M SORRY OKAY? :D But really, if only instead of hordes of same creatures there were different specialized ones, and you needed to kill them specifically before they, say, breached the wall with their specific powers - those crane diving lancer girls would've made more sense. Realistically people would've used archers or special weapons like ballistas in such conditions, but you know, rule of cool and all that jazz.
This movie had me unironically siding with Megatron. Every single time Optimus saves the planet, the humans keep trying to say it is his fault to begin with. In this movie, they are even hunting down the Autobots. Megatron is right, humanity sucks, please wipe the slate clean.
It’s okay Boss. Things only Get Dumber and More Stupid In the 5 Entry. I wish I was Kidding. But there is a Light Near the edge of the tunnel. It’s ain’t too great. But that doesn’t matter.
I mean... I was somewhat excited to see it, bc 3 was pretty good, imo. Tho I don't think I really saw the trailers. As for 5... well it couldn't possibly be any worse than 4, and it wasn't, but-
Not wanting to defend this atrocious movie, but to clarify: They don't recreate Megatron/Galvatron on purpose. They trey to replicate OPTIMUS. But every time they trie it, they get Megatron instead, and they can't understand why that's happening. Basically Omnicron meddles with the process or something dumb like that.
Am I the only one kinda annoyed at him? Like I get it. Kind of a hate watch. But It also gets pretty annoying when this reaction can be boiled down to a bunch of sighing. He doesn't even chuckle at any jokes made by Pointless. I don't like a lot of things these movies do aswell, and these last two are horrific but this truly just feels like a Bayverse hater watching videos that weren't made specificaly to JUST be a shit on this series of movies.

I haven't even started the video yet. 😂

I’m half way into believing that this is why the cybertron games got taken off the shelves. Through some sick karmic justice.
That game was such a massive disappointment. I blame it for the death of the Cybertron games. Only decent-ish part of it was playing as Drift
6:00 Damn that is EXACTLY the plot for the fifth movie.

They're all awful
In some parts of Asia the number *4* is superstitiously considered to be connected with 'death' and/or being very 'unlucky'.
after 2024 i could belive that wholeheartedly.

Was about to say the same thing about Peter Jackson.

Transformers has had garbage media way before bayformers.

We already have enough hitler, today. He just shaved his mustache, dyed his hair blond and changed his name to Donald Trump

If you remember Happy Souls you should check DS1 parody "Dark Sauce"

Man, if you thought this one was hard to get through, then you're gonna LOVE his review of Five lol.
*i'M aN InVeNtOr!*
Just remember, as bad as this one is, the next one is worse 😁
Any movie that spends any time on age of consent laws, in the way this one does, Olivia Benson would like to know it’s location.

Hahahahaha
