The director of suits walked into a boardroom meeting, wrote Suits on a whiteboard then changed all the S's to dollar symbols and all the executives gasped.
The marketing is truly awful, even down to the posters and stuff, gives off this cheap celebrity cash grab kids film feel while this movie is none of that
Yeah... I don't know what's up with recent animated movies trailers and marketing that either are "okay" or just sucks. Elemental, Luca, Turning Red, Encanto, Puss In Boots 2. These movies have piss poor marketing but after watching them, I've love them. Can't wait to watch Transformers One
by the way, 'romanian' and 'roma/romani' are different things (though romani can be romanian, the way they can be finnish or french for example) Roma/romani are an ethnic minority (and very much discriminated against), romanian means a person from romania, the country. there are many roma ppl in romania though
This is true. I live in Transilvania, and the local Hunagarian Romani people hate the word 'Romani' because they are afraid people will confuse them with Romanians (and peopel actually do exactly that). XD They prefer to be called Gypsies instead.
@@pepita2437 yeah, there's lot of different romani communities and what words they prefer to use for themselves depends, also on individual level. roma/romani is kinda generally accepted term overall though, like as an overall term
I loved Megatron's arc in One. And I love how him and Optimus respond to the same traumas in different ways. The guy basically built his entire identity on the idea that the system he's born into is fair and that the people who made the system want what's best for him and that him having limited options is not anyone's fault really. If he's a good boy who follows the rules and stays out of trouble, he'll have a comfortable life. But then of course he finds out that was all bullshit and that no matter what he does of how obedient he is, he'll never achieve anything. So he crumbles completely. And the only thing he's left with is strength and hate. Because he now knows that he will never achieve anything by following the rules. Optimus on the other hand, he never really felt comfortable following the rules. He always believed there was more to life than what the system allows. So when he discovers its all a sham, he doesn't crumble like Megatron, his existing desires and motivations are just reinforced.
I saw Transformers One and really liked it, but Optimus with the uncanny DreamWorks smile on the thumbnail made me remember why I ignored it for so long.
that sucks to be you. Sounds like your days of sanity are quite new, and short lived, these guys are gonna be gone very soon and I guess they gonna take your sanity...doesn't sound like real sanity but I won't argue...2-5 years is still very soon when it comes to human life spans.
One of my favorite delightfully dry pieces of Danish may-or-may-not-be-humor from Alan Wake 2 was in the DLC, where you go into a house with a large poster on the wall that says "LIFE IS NOT UNLIKE A HIGHWAY". Now, I cannot hear mention of life as a highway without thinking of it. For some reason, I think it's just the funniest thing.
Very happy you guys enjoyed the crooked man. I loved it. It’s definitely a dredd situation where the fans are absolutely loving it, but we will never get anything else from it
@@ComicCrossing Dr Doom is Romani which is a ethnic group that does not consider themselves "white". Damien Wayne and Miguel O'Hara have also been mostly portrayed as "white" but that does not change the fact that they are also people of color
@wyldweasel4746 which was a later addition to his character. Hes also white and that is mostly what he is. You can be "Romani" and still look white. And youll never find a "romani" actor that can lead a franchise. Because thehmy dont exist
The rumor is that the next Nolan’s movie is a remake of a great British TV-series called the Prisoner. I don’t how legitimate it is. When you said that Matt Damon could be the main star, at first I doubted he would fit the role, because the main character is sort of this James Bond type… and then I was like “Jesus Christ, he’s Jason Bourne!” and now I want to see that!
I was already sold but Maso sold me more when he said "More silent hill than resident evil" Silent Hill supremacy. Silent Hill caravan of Garbage when??
1:00:00 it's actually 13 primes with the original roster established in the Aligned continuity except the thirteen had been switched to Zeta Prime Sentinel is never part of that group
I think Hal will have unknowingly commuted the murders they're investigating because he's possessed by Parallax. When they eventually figure it out, Parallax will reveal himself and then they'll have an epic fight.
Kill me. That's awful. Screw this new universe already for downplaying the best Green Lantern. They did the exact same thing in the most recent animated film and it majorly sucked
Shame TF One isn't doing well. I highly value this movie because it actually does something modern Hollywood movies refuse to do. This movie actually respects the source material.(Btw the caste/class system comes from the Transformers IDW comics and the Aligned continuity; cogless transformers who cannot transform during the Quintessons rule is a lore element form the G1 cartoon) Also Sentinel have never been a Prime (just like in the Aligned continuity, where Sentinel was a puppet ruler put in power by the corrupt Senate ruling Cybertron, and even tho he held the title of a Prime, he never had the Matrix)
Green Lantern suits will probably be practical as is the norm for most James Gunn productions, just with some cgi lighting added on. However I'd be willing to bet Hal will spend most of the series wearing part of the suit under his aviator jacket.
Kaos was a really amazing masterpiece that had little promotion and was released all at once and then 2 weeks later Netflix was like “well I guess no one watched it because it’s bad”
Transformers One deserves so much better. A shame nobody gave it a chance. The one time we get good stuff nobody goes and now we are doomed to 17 years of slop again
Loved Transformers One. As far as tropes go with the brothers turning enemies Ala this, Thor and Loki, Moses and Ramses in Prince of Egypt, we are about to see it again with Mufasa and Scar… I totally felt Megatron’s turn was handled very well and didn’t feel rushed
This review may contain spoilers. TL;DR version of the review - Probably the best Transformers movie since the 1980s, but not perfect. Longer form review; Ok, so I'm a Transformers geek. I have been since I was a little boy back in the 1980s, and I still am today. None of the live action movies have really hit the mark for me, for a few reasons, but principle amongst them being (a) the Bayverse designs were an absolute mess and (b) too much human, not enough big transforming robots. This film solves both of those problems right out the gate, which is a good start. It's set on Cybertron, it's something of a reboot/prequel for the franchise, and it's hopefully a setup for future instalments. So the good; * The designs are great, and really look/feel the part for the most part, which helps a lot in allowing you to know what the hell is going on. * The story is pretty straightforward, and you know where all the pieces are and what's going on. Sometimes simplicity is best. * It's got a good bit of heart to it, and actually goes darker than you might expect from the trailers. This helps to balance out the humour which is ok overall, but sometimes veers into Standard Generic Action Movie Humour™ with the quippy banter. * Generally it's just an enjoyable movie overall - perhaps just a touch too long, but it sets out to do something fairly straightforward and mostly nails it, so that's a massive step up from most of the Michael Bay era films. The not so good; * Personal preference here, but I just can't unhear Chris Hemsworth and that takes me out of the movie a bit. I know we can't have Peter Cullen forever, but Hemsworth's voice is just too recognisable for me. I know it won't bother everyone though. (Same goes for Buscemi, tbh.) * Bumblebee * To expand upon that; almost all of the bad aspects of the humour come from Bumblebee. He is the Kevin Hart character of the Standard Generic Action Movie Humour™ approach, and imo the movie would be better without his involvement. I imagine kids will love him tho. * At times it just felt a bit too much like it wanted to be a Marvel movie - it wasn't overly damaging, but did lead to it feeling a bit more by-the-numbers than I'd have otherwise hoped. Overally though, there's a lot of potential here, and I hope it recovers from the disappointing overall opening box office numbers it's getting in the USA, because there are plenty of places they can go with a sequel and I could see a sequel being even better.
EVERYONE WATCH TRANSFORMERS ONE AND/OR THE WILD ROBOT. Transformers One is my favourite Transformers movie other than the 80s cartoon, but Bumblebee is the best of the live action. The Wild Robot is one of the best movies of the year. One of the best. It might be one of my favourite movies ever, it nearly made me cry 3 times and succeeded once.
I wish I was joking but there was someone in my year 8 class with the same "Guy Tough" and seems surprised when I said "you mean Tough Guy?" I told him his parents had gifted him a name that doesn't fit a nerd persona, hope Guy is doing well
It's so weird that Zachary Levi played Arcade Gannon, arguably one of the most famous gay characters in videogame history, and then just became a weird MAGA dude afterwards lmao
Peter Cullen does still want to play Optimus Prime, he loves doing it, it’s just he’s a union actor and the company doesn’t like union Also they probably wanted the big names on here, cause I guess in them minds Peter Cullen isn’t as big a name as marvel actors
I didn’t think the voice in the movie was good enough for a young Optimus, definitely not worth what they paid at all but I wasn’t bothered by it, also not my money
I'll need to hear more positive word of mouth before checking out The Franchise, while I love a lot of the actors involved and love a good satire the trailer is reeeeeeaaally underwhelming.
Well, now, I might just watch Captain America is Sam Wilson Now just for the Totally Awesome Tucson, Arizona boy. Also, yes, Transformers One is good and deserves recognition.
The director of suits walked into a boardroom meeting, wrote Suits on a whiteboard then changed all the S's to dollar symbols and all the executives gasped.
Seriously, everyone go watch Transformers One. I also thought i would hate it based on the marketing. But it might be my favorite movie of the year!
I felt the exact same. Great movie, but wow the trailers suck.

Can't wait to watch Transformers One
I liked it but I also think people are gassing it up WAY too much it’s good- great even but it’s not like the best movie of the year or anything.
Best Transformers movie since '86

8:45 it took me until here to realise that Thunderbolts and Captain America are two different movies. Is this what getting old is?

I feel like the green lantern show’s premise is going to revolve around the death of Hal Jordan (and Kyle Chandler will only be seen in flashbacks).
I think Hal will have unknowingly commuted the murders they're investigating because he's possessed by Parallax. When they eventually figure it out, Parallax will reveal himself and then they'll have an epic fight.

13:40 biggest missed opportunity was not casting him as luke lol
I had no idea there was even a new Hellboy. Did they even advertise it?
Wasn't RDJ announced right before Fantastic 4 began shooting? He's gotta have already a cameo in that
The Crooked Bloke is the preferable title tbh.
