Talking with ET, Director Michael Bay stated that Transformers 4 will have a “different feel”:
“What I can say is that it’s going to pick up where the other three left off,” said Bay of the film, which will predominantly feature new actors from its predecessors. “It’s going to feel very different. It’s going to definitely open the franchise up for many more to come, and it’s going to have a freshness to it.”Take a look at a short video from the interview below:

Really? We can't have a civil discussion involving Michael Bay AT ALL?
It's ok to dislike the man's work, but when it resorts to forum members insulting each other, that's something that we can't allow. Not that you should HAVE to go read the forum rules to learn how to be decent to each other, I will provide the link here for you all to look over in case you are confused about something: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/tfw2005-tech-support/631403-tfw2005-rules.html
That is all.

Sarcasm detection fail.
In fact, just fail period.

I think the whole problem with Bays TF films, and certainly from my own point of view, was not that he raped my childhood or whatever, but that he hasn't connected with it all.
His films do not feel connected to Transformers to me.
I love G1 and was 10 when it all came out and I too was hooked, but it's not the be all and end all. There's been plenty going on in the TF world since G1 that is great. But his films are not it. They seem to me like Michael Bay's typical self indulgence (very) loosely based around the idea of transformers.

Got that part right, no other bots have been so focoused on these past 3 movies. yes the others were there but it seems like they were there to hlep Prime and bumbler out.
And the part where Sam killed starscream was completely ******ed
Ephland
Yeah, that was my point. Comprehension FTW!
Well, at least your critique is well-formed.
Jazz 4
I barely understand G1 myself but still the whole look and feel on the Bay bots sucks
Lurkertron
Yep, 3 totally unique experiences they were too.
Not at all similar in any way.
I loved the one with the conspiracy theories, embarrassing humour, ineffective bad guys and overacting morons. You know, the one with the Linkin Park music with Sam and Prime mooning of into the distance after stopping the bad guys getting the plot device? The one where Prime and Bumblebee do all the fighting?
That one stands out. It's my favourite.

Im mad because I know bb is going to be in this movie and every scene with him in it is going to get a figure that no one will buy, and then they will sit there till clearanced and new ones will arrive but then the wave without him will come which has every figure that everyone wants in it and it will be cancelled
Notilator
now now, lets not resort to name calling, and if you can quote one intelligent negative criticism of Bay on this thread so far ill admit i was half wrong
Ephland
yes, how silly of me to forget the 3 carbon copies that are TF1, ROTF, and DOTM.
I realize this bias exists, but I truly don't understand it. And I'm someone who was 6 years old and addicted to G1 when it started.
Jazz 4
look at the first 3 dude.
2 episodes of generation one make more sense than these.
also the decepticons are not slobbering ravaging zombies wrapped in cars in G1

In a world where Honey Boo Boo is considered a TV star it's not shocking to see that the entertainment bar is so insanely low that people will flock to see if Micheal Bay has made his films even more mindless for them.
Sure every once in a while something like Battleship or Green Lantern will flop and you will start to build a tiny bit of hope that people are developing a small shread of taste again, but then you realize how many seasons Jersey Shore has ran.
Lurkertron
Exactly. Who can possibly say how a Michael Bay Transformers film will turn out? If only there was some precedent.

You're doing it wrong, dude. What's the fun of knowing anything about a movie before ripping it to shreds?
Lurkertron
And yet, for all your comedy critique (absolutely zero fucks given by the way), all you're doing is complaining about complaining, professing an inability to stay away from a subject you know will contain that which you dislike and now, apparently, you're not even against the source of the complaints.
So who's the douche?
soundwave69
Pretty sure most of the people complaining about the complaining aren't huge Bay fans (I know I'm not), we're just even lesser fans of douchey, unfunny posts…which this thread has in spades.
Lurkertron
Your inability to stay out of thread. Definitely.
Because it means you post in it and that's pretty bad.
Seriously though. How many more lameass posts complaining about the complaining does there have to be.
"Oh this site is so sad, its all about being mean to Mr Bay. Oh why do I come here, silly me…."

But it had Wheelie and Brains taking up the twins slack, DEEP WANG! (vomits), John Malkovich making an absolute tit of himself, the most pathetic Megatron imaginable, a mindless imbecile Shockwave, a salivating Starscream, Soundwave is a car collectors bitch and sounds like the Honey Monster… and so on. Self indulgent mindless tripe.
If they were listening to feedback, they didn't do much about it apart from change who and where the cringes came from.

I love how one tiny little vague comment from Bay creates a dozen pages of "discussion". Bay sucks! No you suck! Your momma! *sigh* 2 more years of this…
