Hopefully with the expanded universe they will be good movies. Also it means Transformers will be mainstream for another 10 years.

Do we really need more Transformer movies? The first Trilogy was already alright. I mean the toys from 1-3 were fun, 4 was boring so unless they introduce Mini-cons or combiners, I'm just gonna go and say, Meh.

any1 here excited for the Mad Max sequel?

I don't mind them making more movies, but can't we just have a new director? Regardless of what anyone thinks about Michael Bay, I think it's really high time that someone else had a turn. I'm struggling to think of any other long-lasting film series that kept the same director at the helm for so long. Even the Police Academy movies had six directors. Sly Stallone directed 4/6 Rocky movies -- so he's on par with Bay and his current number of four TF films. Likewise George Lucas has directed 4/6 Star Wars films, and we know that he's not going to direct the sequels; so assuming that Disney makes a sequel trilogy, Lucas will have directed 4/9 Star Wars films.

Four movies over ten years. It seems that an overarching storyline is planned, based on the writer's room sessions. I'm all for it.

According to this article, (http://comicbook.com/2015/10/03/transformers-5-6-7-8-confirmed-by-hasbro/) Michael Bay is directing (he's definitely involved as an executive producer), but it hasn't been confirmed on his website yet.

The TV show The Project on Channel 10 tonight mentioned the news of four more Transformers movies coming, and each one seemed to be paying out on how bad the first four were (in their opinion).
It was only a 1 minute segment, so it was mostly commentary - no news or info revealed.
(the show repeats later tonight for anyone keen enough - and is probably on the Tenplay website)

I'm with you. Besides my hate for Bay i'd like to see a different approach to the movies by a different director.

Bay's "style" is so loud and overbearing that it's not like you can forget that it's a Bay movie when you watch it. The slow mo, gratuitous butt shots, pandering to the US army, ridiculously OTT human characters etc

Oh no, a bunch of c-list Aussie celebrities on a show that should have been canned years ago bagging out a multi-billion dollar movie franchise. How will Transformers ever recover from it?! :rolleyes:

Keep the movies coming, even when they are not great I always find something to like about them and I'll be front row centre in my wheelchair and oxygen-rig watching the premiere of TF37 :D

For a guy who proclaims to not watch reality tv shows, ACA and the like, you seem to 'bump' into these shows a lot. :o:p

The stand alone Bumblebee movie has been announced by Bay to officially be a prequel, focus on his character and be aimed at a younger audience.

As much as this sucks for adults, means I might be able to take my son to see it :)

I agree it is good if it's aimed at the younger audience. The first movie is the only one I allow my son to watch.

[Smint]

I think all 4 movies are already for juvenile audiences.

Thought that myself, but didn't want to be the one to type it, so thanks Smint ;) :p

[GoktimusPrime]

Agreed. And even then, not necessarily for young children because of the use of coarse language, sexualisation etc. I still cannot believe that AoE used the F-word and had that god-awful stupid R+J scene... Rogue One on the other hand manages to be a spectacularly superior film that doesn't resort to the use of bad language or sexual references, and I can happily show to my child.

Transformers is primarily a TOY franchise. Why can't we have more family-friendly movies?

Well said :)

If you have a problem with a child watching a movie because it had a "rude" word in it (or a rule about minor/adult relationships children wouldn't really understand), but don't have a problem with the violence and death in the same movie... I just don't understand. To me it just seems some of the puritarian aspects of US culture are rubbing off.
