Re: Michael Bay Likely Back to Direct Transformers 5?
They need to focus on less gimmick and more substance. They waste so much CGI on things that could have gone towards the characters, like that damn magnet scene for Lockdowns ship or instead of say Dinobots fighting in robot modes. Hell, they guard the bridge and we just see Grimlock transform and they stand there....no battle, nadda. We also never see Crosshairs, Drift or Hound transform from vehicle to robot or visa versa. I mean Drift to copter, sure, but not to car. Ratchet does. Prime and Bee does. The shitty particle transformations take over.
I think this series needs more time/money on CGI used on the bots with more personality and less on giant unnecessary battles. I always skip the Magnet scene. It's boring, it adds nothing, it doesn't even showcase the Dinobots as badass...
Spend more money on developing villains, give Galvatron an actual army like in the first 2007 movie but give them more screen time to develop. Don't waste them like Shockwave was....or Devestator...or most of the Decepticons. Starscream got to shine, Soundwave barely did.
Also, less stupid human shit. I don't care if they keep the human element in the films, but keep it simple. You can give humans substance without the schlock or crude humour or eccentricities.
I think they need a proper focal point with less is more instead of more and more and more. I feel like they keep trying to prove that they deserve the Oscar for visuals, and TF1 should have won, but now they have been overdoing it the past 3 movies.
Go back to basics. You want people to care, give them a reason to care. You can still have a big action movie on a smaller scale.
