Transformers 5

I passed on 4, I will pass on 5. It's a travesty that Pacific Rim 2 gets canned and this franchise keeps ruining what should be the easiest robot on robot violence.

Was 4 the one with Wahlberg where he travels the country with his not-virgin daughter visiting product placements?

Don't forget they ruined the dinobots. These movies are just so unfortunate. Pacific Rim was sad too, but it didn't try to wrap up shit and sell it as chocolate.

Transformers 4 had some semi decent moments. It was mostly just a pile of crap though. I expect the same for number 5, but I'll probably go see it in theatres anyway.

1, 3, and 4 all had their share of decent moments. Basically anytime the Transformers were actually front and center. There was just an unfortunate about of nonsense in between those moments. 2 somehow managed to not even have those which is just some kind of achievement frankly. I have rewatched 1/3/4, on purpose, a couple times, and 2 just... no. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I'm probably as big a Transformer fanboy as one can be without spending thousands of dollars on toys/comics so I will probably see this stupid one too. Hopefully it just isn't 2 all over again.

No, it is the one where Wahlberg tells you he's a scientist about 50 goddamn times and you don't believe it for a single fucking second.

You say this in a way that seems to forget that animated Transformers only ever existed to sell products themselves.

Face it, Everything we hold dear is designed to separate us from our (and back then, our parents) money.

Yeah I just remember this movie was not subtle about it.

Middle of carnage in the big city?flawlessvictoria's secret bus booth.

Firstly, because of all the guys bringing their girlfriends
Secondly, because of all the guys who want their girlfriends to dress in lingerie.
Thirdly, because there are no guys going to see Mark wahlberg in a movie

I honestly dont get how they could get a greenlight for sequels after the first. It was so horribly bad I could not even stand the rifftrax edition of the movie which was a first for me.
