65 million years ago the dinosaurs were wiped from this planet with an asteroid strike. God how I am envious of them.
Transformers 4 is a wacky movie that shows that even mediocre franchises can get worse. I defended Dark of the Moon, but I can't defend this. And this isn't even the worst movie in the franchise.

ONE MAN ALONE BETRAYED BY THE COUNTRY HE LOVES

He has come a long way from getting peed by a giant robot in the first Transformers movie to be killed by Riddler in The Batman
The wildest thing is, at the time the movie was released, the actress was 19 years old, and even when they were filming, she was 18. They could’ve just said “Yeah, she’s 18, and she’s dating this guy she met recently and there’s a three year age gap so her dad’s a little weirded out, but it’s all fine.” Instead, they aged her character down JUST to have it be questionably legal and unquestionably creepy.
On the moral aspect, a 17 year old can consent with someone who is no more than 2 years older, and the dude was 20, making it 3 years, and that is predatorial.
@@Thunderblock7889 Outside the USA, many countries (inc the UK) have 16 as the age of consent, so a 17 year old dating a 20 year old is no big deal....still weird for a movie to needlessly obsess about it though
@@HundeputzmunterTrue, but considering it’s set in the US and made for a US (and Chinese) audience, I can’t imagine it would’ve ever been received well. And it’s just like…why even do that to begin with? Just an odd choice

I’ll still never get over why they didn’t just make the 4th+ TF movies about Colonel Lennox. Josh Duhamel’s acting was so much better than Wahlberg’s in these movies, and the dynamic that could have been done with his ‘retirement’ - Lennox struggling to protect his family (including his young daughter), but also still help the autobots - was SUCH a missed opportunity.
Yeah Lennox is dope

See, you miss the point. That is a GOOD idea! Michael Bay does not UNDERSTAND what a good idea is.
Yeah but that would’ve been interesting and that’s clearly not what Bay was after
@@user-M2CE Bay does well when there's people reining him in. 13 Hours for example had 3 of the actual GRS members during the attack and the book author on staff as consultants.
Fun fact about Lucas’s death: Bay ended up making his death in a gruesome style/killing him off early was because he was such a pain in the ass to work with during production. In short: it was done out of pettiness.
Everything I’ve read/seen about T.J. Miller makes him seem like a completely insufferable person so I don’t home Bay.
An actor having bad behavior? Noooo... 🫢
That was the best scene in the whole movie ngl
LOL
Based.
How was that guy pulling out that card, let alone carrying it around in his wallet, not a major red flag to everyone involved? When I first saw this movie I wondered how many other relationships he had with minors that would bring up that situation enough to carry around a card to protect himself. How would that girl not see him as a predator? WHY was this scene even in the movie!?!
I feel like the intended implication is that this conversation comes up when he's hanging out with Tessa often and whatnot, but then that just brings up the point of _how did no one tell Cade about this?_ They live in what could only be described as a small town, and you don't have to have grown up in a small town to know that word travels _fast._ And the movie outright states that the dude's a pro racer. He'd be a fucking celebrity in a small town like this. There's no way Cade didn't know unless the dude was never openly passionate with Tessa, which then begs the question of why the dude has "Technically I'm not a predator" fucking LAMINATED in his pocket?
That's not a "red flag" situation. That's a "please come with me, I want to look at this thing behind the woodshed" situation
@@jfarrar19exactly lmao you know this guy has been in multiple situations like these probably with a few younger than she was for him to have that card ready to be pulled out,at a moments noticed. He was so calm and collected to and just the weird fact to even know that and have a card on him.
Media does this all the time. If you ever want to start feeling real weird about things just remember that in the lovable children's series Harry Potter, the Canonically 18 year old Viktor Krum goes out with 14 year old Hermione.
Only reason i guess this scene was in the movie is because bay wanted a "humorous" scene of the boyfriend shouting the father
"I don't see where people think Lockdown is cool" Probably because people liked Lockdown from Transformers Animated (the 2007-2009 series), and they threw fans a bone by giving him a hook and had him take parts from his victims. Look, we were desperate back then.
Mark Ryan is no Lance Henriksen, that's for sure XD Also, Derrick J. Wyatt, the art director of Transformers: Animated, was quite vocally displeased with Lockdown's portrayal here.
I liked it when he turned his face into a gun, that was pretty neat. Like, he's cool on an aesthetic level, but he still could have been so much cooler if he'd had, say, an actual personality.

John Wick 4 is the only good fourth entry in cinema I’ve ever seen.
Lockdown was undeniably cool...when Transformers Animated created him back in 2007. AoE Lockdown really failed to capture anything that worked about the character. The bad-boy suave demeanor, the obsession with harvesting parts and upgrades from his victims (and thus having a huge collection/arsenal), the actually neutral demeanor where he'd work with autobots sometimes... All they kept was calling him a bounty hunter, which he wasn't even actually doing in this film. As the video calls out, Live Action Lockdown is just a repo man trying to reclaim defective product.

Michael Bay managed to make a 2h and 45m movie that feels like its 4 hours long, and still doesn't have enough time to explain the plot. Incredible.

One thing that I found out relating to that infamous scene is that when Jack Reynor (the actor who played Shane) read the initial script for Age of Extinction, that scene was nowhere written in there. And when they started producing that scene, he was very uncomfortable and confused as to what scene was being recorded. This means that the scene was later added to the script, and Jack was NOT made aware of the scene until recording started for it!
Honestly, reading this makes me feel bad for Reynor.
Its obvious by that some jerkoff thought this up and made last minute call to mr Bay and like an impatient boss just tells the worker to get it done.
Poor Jack
Age of consent law? Was this on IMDb
Glad Jack Reynor managed to get a role in Midsommar, otherwise everyone would just remember him as the guy with a laminated minor dating card in his pocket.
It's not just the whole Romeo-Juliet law that's an issue...it's also the way they filmed this 17 year old girl in provocative ways, made the boyfriend a coward and a scumbag, but still tried to romanticize them and give the BF moments of redemption. What was Michel Bay's intended message here?
Questions such as these are best answered with “you know why”
Here is what happened: 1)Michael Bay misinterpretated the Romeo and Juliet law. 2)He forgot that a 17 yo can consent with someone who is no more than TWO years older than them. I dont know what was Michael thinking when making the guy 20 knowing that its a 3 year age gap which is predatory.

Isn't 17 is like the age of consent in most American states? Not to mention that nature's intended "age of consent" is even younger
@@steelbear2063so much consent in nature, I'm sure glad we don't have to be a civilized society and can default to the laws of the natural world. Going down this slippery slope is not a great idea.
To be fair, having your comedic relief die unexpectedly, too early, and in bombastic a fashion as possible is pretty hilarious use of the role
To make it even funnier, Michael Bay did that because TJ Miller was so annoying to work with so he decided to kill him off in the most gruesome and over the top way.

The daughter and boyfriend ruined this movie for me more then anything else. I was also 17 when I first watched this in theaters with my dad, we both knew immediately that this was fucked up. Also she annoyed the ever living shit outta me.😤
The worst part was whenever they reunited on the ship and she only when to hang up shane and not her own father, not even in a comedic way of cade asking not me and her saying yeah of course you deserve a hag too, no instead we move along and then we get in the rope bridge scene where instead of the focus being on them struggling to climb the ropes we focus on them talking and her talking shit to her dad and saying i go back to the ship and got do annoying that i wanted those transform dogs to kill Her
That moment where the guy literally flicks out the Romeo and Juliet law card with a practiced move like Palpatine lightning quickdrawing his lightsaber at the start of that duel in revenge of the sith is one of the moments in all of cinema

The way he flips out the card implies that he had done this before. I just like to imagine he and Tessa are walking down the street, someone inevitably asks "Isn't she younger than you?", and he just pulls the "Umm, acktyualley" out his ass. And then he gets stabbed in an alleyway.

Between this movie and Expendables 3, it's weird to see how Kelsey Grammer looks pretty much the same as he did during the original run of the show Frasier. Now we have the revival Frasier, and he feels like an old man. He is an old man, but it's just weird what a sneak decade can do. And by "sneaky decade," I mean if you didn't spend the last decade as a child, it kinda flew by and most all adults over the age of 30 by today are still reeling from the fact. I turned 20 and sneezed, then I was 30. Somehow during that sneeze, Kelsey Grammer went from being a greyed Frasier to being a geriatric Frasier. His voice less booming, his posture more withered, his cognitive skills stunted. While watching the revival Frasier, I was worried one of the times he hit the ground, they wouldn't be able to get him back up. I would say "Somehow Kelsey Grammer feels older now than John Mahoney ever did during the original Frasier," but... he is. Mahoney was 53 to 64 during the original show's run, where Kelsey Grammer is now in his late 60s as the revival Frasier begins. So it really was during this movie and Expendables that Kelsey Grammer was in that "Marty Crane" age. And where some people can hit their 60s and even 70s without feeling feeble and wobbly, sadly Kelsey wasn't one of them. Probably his former addictions taking their toll. You kids think smoking pot, partying, and hooking up are good things, just wait until you don't die of an OD or some disease and you're looking fondly back on how much you hate your younger self for not taking better care of your body. That's it, that's my random point to make. This movie was so dull that, while there were probably more relevant things I could've talked about, like how Grimlock was just used to sell toys and treated as a dumb animal, it didn't matter enough to me. All I could think about was how Grammer has turned into an old man in the span of a decade. I've been forced to watch my heroes, such as they are, wither with the unrelenting march of time.
Me, Grimlock agree with your statement.
“4 is a dreadful number” Kung-Fu Panda 4 anyone ?
Really?
Deciding to do the whole Romeo and Juliet thing rather than either age the girl up a year or the guy down a couple years has the same energy of driving on a perfectly safe highway and careening yourself into oncoming traffic due to an intrusive thought.
That's probably one of the kinder explanations, lol.

In the case of Lockdown, I think most everyone was talking about his original outing- Transformers: Animated. In that show, he's a really cool character: a neutral bounty hunter who collects mods from his bounties, and is obsessed with upgrading himself, so his design looks like mitch-matched parts (plus, he has a hook). In that case, that character WOULD be really cool in a better movie with at least devent writing. As would a lot of the characters in the Bay movies....

Lockdown is actually kind of cool outside of this movie. He made for the shortly lived Transformers Animated, and actually had a cool concept. Basically he is a Bounty Hunter who isn't a autobot or deception, but often works for whoever pays the most, and instead of just collecting random ass animals from everywhere, he basically steals body parts and entire weapons from whoever his quarry is.

But he put actual WORK into having that legal defense on hand, like he's been doing this in multiple states or something and has multiple cards in his pockets.
That scene is the most memorable moment in this movie, and I hate that. Who thought that it was a good idea to add that in the movie?
Methinks someone found it funny or someone got in trouble at some point and this was a sneaky way of calling back to that?The really confusing part is how the movie doesn't need this element in it at all. It adds nothing to the plot. At least you could argue the fanservice of Michael Bay films is meant to attract a core demographic. But this?They don't even bother giving it a context. Like how and when and why. Not even a throwaway line 'do you want someone that turned 18 last week going to jail because they're dating someone who will turn 18 next week?'. Its just there as a thing. In a movie about giant robots.
Yeah I feel there is no quicker way to labelled as a predator/pervert than to carry a laminated card on you that explains why you can bang your teenage gf
“FBI OPEN UP!!! SHANE YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR UNSPEAKABLE CRIMES!!!”
@@florinivan6907 Nah, it's just your average dudebro logic when trying to justify creepy shit.
Transformers Prime was what Bayformers should’ve been.
The "MURICA"s had me cry laughing
Lockdown was originally a character made in Transformer The Animated Series. He was so cool in that. His body looked like a Frankenstein monster cause he upgraded himself with every one he killed. So i think when people said he’s a cool character who needed a better movie they mean the original Lockdown
I see. Dude had a ton of potential to be this cool.
Bay apparently hated Dinobots, and were an afterthought. Basically if the Fall of Cybertron game didn't do the Dinobots justice, Hasbro was actually willing to shell the team, permanently.
Oh my god, I loved that game as a kid. The Grimlock and Brutus levels were great fun.
@@KnowNothing-wt3ks I loved running around multiplayer maps as a transforming tank in the shape of a T-Rex that breathes fire. It was exactly as awesome as it sounded.
Why does bay hate the dinobots youwould think that he would love the concept
The best line in this movie being “I don’t care” sums it up perfectly.
My favorite transformers quote is “I modeled galvatron after Optimus prime, why does he keep looking like megatron”
My Grandad took me to watch this movie at the cinema. It's the only time I've ever looked at my watch during a movie to try and figure out how long it has left. As we were walking to the car my grandad looked at me and said "that was good, right?" And I looked at him and just said "thankyou for taking me I had a good time with you" cause I didn't want to admit how bad it was. Guess this movie will always be attached to my life too cause I'll never forget that moment 😂
As shit as this film is, he seems like a cool guy

Omg he transported the Uptown Theater from Chicago to Texas.
The “Transforium” thing makes me think of how like every MCU character has a suit/helmet that can just manifest and print over the character in milliseconds now. Like just everyone now has cool, time saving green screen nano machine clothes
so far it's just Iron Man, Black Panther and Spiderman... maybe Captain Marvel, but I'm not sure about that one
@@juanmanuelcardona19 yeah and then literally every character wearing the time travel suit thing in Endgame, too.
@@mattblack3813 ok, sure, but we've only seen that suit once, so I won't count it
Nanomachines son
@@juanmanuelcardona19 Thor, Mighty Thor, Starlord. I think only Captain America doesn't have a nano mask.
Interesting tidbit: Jack Reynor (Shane) said in a later interview that not only was that whole Romeo & Juliet law thing problematic (but him being an unknown actor at the time, it wasn’t his place to draw attention to it in a big franchise movie), but that it WASN’T IN THE SCRIPT ORIGINALLY and instead something that was added during production. Do with that information what you will.
Must be an awkward thing to have attached to your career
That may help explain why nobody involved realized that the character of Tessa Yeager was legally an adult due to the fact that they set the movie in Texas and not California. Knowing Hollywood writers they probably would have made the same mistake even if it was in the script because Hollywood often thinks that they're the center of the universe, but if it was ad libbed they may not have even had time to research Texas law before they shot the scene.
@@silentnight6810 yeah like that one guy that does all the fiber supplement ads on KZhead
I feel bad for that guy, man. Imagine being an up-and-coming actor who gets to star in a blockbuster film adaptation of a popular toy franchise as an opportunity to really make a name for yourself, and then get told mid-production that your character has to justify why it’s okay for them to date a minor.
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 definitely, it’s not the best kind of role to have on his resume but at the very least he’s gotten better roles since then.
When Optimum Pride said, "I don't know what age is this, but I consent.", I was blown away in amazement.
lmao
the first one is MEMERABLE with some really good scenes in it, particularly the opening with the deception helicopter Blackout, and a lot of the close up practical effects were cool.
"Megan Fox is perfect!" "Did you ever see her thumbs? I mean, big hand toes? Yikes!"
I can't believe this movie is almost 10 years old. I feel freaking old.
It's almost too old for the writers.
The Attack on Titan reference was one thing, but the Pacific Rim one definitely takes the cake
>RUMBLING
Yup
Truly a man of tastes.
They have Yager as a character and "Eren" Krueger on the screenplay 22:57
Thank God, because that ending from the manga killed me.
Can you do Pixels like this?
I wish I wasn’t kinda sad when ratchet died but he was a old one from the old films 💀😭
Let's not even mention how every character design in this movie is impossible to fully recreate as toys that selling toys, the main purpose of ALL the movies, failed spectacularly here
Unless a 3rd Party witchcraft is at play
Fr I had an Optimus Prime action figure and I could only half-transform him but couldn’t undo it so he just became this half-truck-half-robot amalgamation
And it also did help that people complained about the level of complexity of the dotm toys so hasbro made the aoe toys more simple
The fact Cody got married to the girl he brought to this film when it came out and fell asleep halfway through is proof we could all make it someday.
God I hope so. His story was inspiring to me.
Cody has already become everybody's favorite KZheadr.
His love life is more interesting than the movie "couple".
wait, he wasn't joking?
Yea
Sentinel killed ironhide 🥺
There being good and bad 4s goes to show that it truly is the chaotic number.
When the world was bleak, pointless hub came and blessed us with another video.
He is the light in the darkness
He’s an inventor

Exactly!
That’s about a bleak,pointless movie of a beloved franchise
I can't wait for 5. That movie holds a very special place in my heart. I saw it at a drive in theater on opening night with my brother (both of us born after but raised on G1 transformers). I shit you not, every 40-90 seconds, we would look at each other at the same time exclaim "what the fuck just happening" completely sincerely. The Last Knight is, in my mind, the epitome of a truly awful, absolutely entertaining film
fr, I waited 4 years to watch the last knight because I cudnt go to theatres at the time. that movie was such a dissapointment lmao
The Last Knight is the reason I'm glad the film series got rebooted...
@@Termina2018 actually, the last knight had so much potential. I have a plot for the film. Instead of cade being the last knight and the british girl being the one activating the staff, it shud have been megatron who activated the staff, but quintessa tells that optimus is the last knight, hence he refuses to work with quintessa and optimus. quintessa then tells that no, she will make optimus come on their side and they will activate the staff together. she then gives galvatron a new body, redesigns him as megatron and sends him to earth to search for the talisman which is with cade yeager. optimus comes becomes evil, and goes back to earth halfway thru the movie unlike the real plot where nemesis shows up in the last end. he and megatron actuallu work together, and the autobots are now in hiding due to optimus betrayal. they start working their way and then meet the british girl and that old guy who explain how useful the talisman is. hence when nemesis comes to take the talisman, he fights bumblebee and becomes optimus again Idk I really love the one I made, wud have given more screentime to the transformers and just made more sense
It's not even the nonsensical batshit stuff that ruins it for me, it's just how fucking boring all of it is. Aside from a sparse handful of scenes; and Cogman, I just think it's such a dull, lifeless movie.
I hate Bayformers movies so much (and tbh if someone edits the first one it may actually become a decent movie), i tried so hard to endure the last knight but had to quit after 20 minutes.
The "Oooo, spooky" got me.😂
The allspark is the engine while the creators creates the raw materials
I'll always remember this movie not because of the actual movie but because after I finished the movie in theaters when I was driving home I encountered the worst storm in my life and I almost died
Imagine dying because you went to see Transformers age of extinction

Fun fact: The number 4 in Japan is actually regarded as an unlucky number because it is sometimes pronounced shi, which is the word for death. Sometimes levels or rooms with 4 don't exist in hospitals or hotels.
I thought that was 14? I guess not
@@DeadSpacedOut I think you got it mixed up with number 13, which is also an unlucky number.
That would explain Golden Wind having a character being scared of number 4.
Yeah 4 is sound like a 死 (death)
@@i.m.evilhomer5084 that might be it, i'm not sure. If you've ever seen the movie "1408" there's a scene where the main character is in the elevator, on his way to the hotel room and they mention that they skipped a floor or something because that floor was bad luck or something like that. I forget exactly what it was, but it might've been the 13th floor.
That thumbnail goes hard
I knew the inventor clip was gonna be the intro but god I still laughed really hard
Tj Miller’s annoying character being pyrotechnic’d to death is the high moment of this film.
Thank I thought it was jus me😅
It forshadowed his career
And to make it even better, it was done out of pure pettiness. Miller was so difficult to work with that Bay wanted his character killed off ASAP so he didn't have to deal with him anymore.
Best thing in the movie. This character was already annoying me after 10 minutes with his unfunny jokes and traitor behavior, so imagine having to put up with him for 2 hours long...
Oh yeah, that’s not a character.
other than the Dino bots, hound is the only reason me and my brother like these movies, his kicking ass and swearing is the only good part of this movie
at 10:00 racecar boyfriend yells "ten minutes?!" that's silly
the fact that this movie isn't even the worst in the series is impressive. THE MOVIE WITH THAT ONE SCENE WE ALL KNOW ISNT EVEN THE WORST
the devastator scene?
@@metalheadzaki was referring to the romeo and julliet scene
Nah this movie kinda is the worst,it further fucks up the timeline, literally has robots that don't even transform despite the name of the movie and is genuinely the most annoying installment.
@@loaf_bloke_will_eat_ur_soul998 nah, The Last Knight is by far the worst of all, this one at least connected with the previous films while in the 5th one they completely fucked up the timeline
Is it Dinobots being the worst scene? cause' in my unpopular opinion I did find the Dinobots way more enjoyable than the Autobots as a Maximal and Dinobot enthusiast lol.
