>>6750427>>6750410>Michael Bay is still a producer>Still sticking to a semblance of the LA aesthetic>Written by Christina Hodson, who has only written 2 shitty psycho-thrillers prior>Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Tom DeSanto are still producing, after having been involved with every prior movie>Hasbro is still set on a movie universe created from many scripts, and will probably shove them all together with no regard to continuity like in TLK>Hasbro has no concept of quality considering how godawful the CW and TR cartoons turned out>The story will most likely still be a nonsensical mess of subplots and shallow characters, shitty jokes, and painfully obvious politics>Paramount has lost the financial support of Chinese investors after TLK, Baywatch, Star Trek 3, and Monster Trucks bombed and is desperate to cut corners and rush productions to regain cash>80's setting is undeniably an attempt to cash in on Transformer nostalgia because they desperately need it to sell>Coming out against Wreck-it Ralph 2, Mortal Engines, Spiderman, Grinch, Mary Poppins, Aquaman, and Sherlock Holmes, all in a dying theater market place and have distributors with way more money to market with>This means the film will have to go full pander mode to stand out, either to Americans but most likely to the Chinese>They have said they'll improve the movies every time since the first, and have only gotten worseI honestly can't see any reason why anyone would have any faith in the movies. One good guy in a stable of hacks and morons trying to make a profitable product over a good movie can't save the film, so unless some kind of fucking miracle happens and literally everyone talks about great and epic and not like the last 5 it is weeks after it comes out, just don't see it.
