Why do you think the first one was fairly good, but the sequels were crap?

Bay actually tried with this one because he didn't know if it was gonna flop or not. He figured after the Island did mediocre buisness, this would break him if it flopped. But it did great buisness. Then bay made 2 during the writers strike. It was shit, but made a lot of money. Something clicked and bay realized he could shit out terrible trans offers movies and still make a lot of money to finance the projects he wanted to to do

That explains a lot. It's a shame though, Transformers deserves better. I don't expect Jurassic Park or Titanic levels of quality, but I would appreciate less dog humping.

He modeled it after Terminator 2.

The first one wasn't good, just somewhat less shit than the others.

Like I said, fairly good.

Spielberg was onboard? That explains even more.
>>64222688
Didn't he have to agree to 3 and 4 just to get the funding for pain and gain?

>Spielberg was onboard?
heve you even seen the movie?
it's fucking obvious

He was gonna take a break between 2 and 3 to make pain and gain, but execs twisted his arm and made him do it first before pain and gain. Which explains why 3 looks like it was made by a guy who hated the movie he was making. 4 was probably so they'd finance bayghazi
now it's all about the chinabux for M. Bay
their pleb audiences are hopefully catching onto how badly they're being pandered to & the subsequent backlash will help, but govt.'s censorship of rebellious & mystical/ghostly themes, etc. isn't going anywhere . . .

Didn't Transformers 4 actually underperform in the US, enough so that Paramount is talking about a reboot of the franchise?

It performed below 3 overall, but broke records in china
Bay is doing for China Marketing what Cameron did for December release dates
