Is it really necessary for Transformers 5 to be over 3 hours long?

lol really?

Do people actaully watch this shit?

I'm honestly really surprised by this, considering how everyone complained how the last one felt like two movies pasted together. That one was a slog to get through.

I'm not a huge fan of these movies, but I will give Bay credit, in that he does seem to address some of the criticisms leveled against these movies.

>Got rid of the nigger bots from 2
>Brought Frank Welker in as Galvatron
>Replaced Shia and his "wacky" family with Marky Mark

>>83432210
Kino confirmed

It will be like schindler's list

>>83432210
Classic American consumer pandering. It won't be a good meal, but if it's a huge portion they'll still feel they got their money's worth.

>>83432406
But fun

>>83432210
These movies are made for China.
They don't care how long it is, as long as there's robots and explosions.

I'm not surprised. There's so much damn stuff going in in this movie there's no way they could condense it into a 2 hour or so runtime

No way. They were pushing it with the last one. There's no way they can go further than 165 minutes.

>>83432210
Bay is losing his goddamn mind, his editing is also really bad

classic hollywood epic. the story requires a full run time to flesh out the details of the characters.

>>83432550
>Bay does the editing himself

>>83432226
The Chinese have better attention spans than us

Transformers 5 will be the Godfather 2 of summer blockbusters. Telling a dual story of King Arthur to either reinforce the themes set forth in the current period or to juxtapose it. Other directors wish they had his talent.

>Have to shit on it because I can't comprehend the concept of a target audience

I'm surprised the studio allowed this to happen, that's a couple of extra showings each day per screen that will be eaten up by those extra 30 minutes.

I like Bay, I wish he was doing movies whose source material he doesnt deapise.
I really like Transforners, I wish someone would make a better G1 inspired adaptation.

>>83432573
>bay doesn't control (AKA direct) how the editing should be done

>>83432470
This is called a cultural victory in Civilization

>>83432684
Paramount has Transformers, JJ Abrams, Jerry Bruckheimer and Mission Impossible as their current bankable franchises. Yes, they have a vault of IPs that rivals or surpasses WB, but they have not had a good decade.

>>83432691
hmmm I wonder when the chinks will catch on and realize they've been BAYED

>>83432210
I didn't realize they're still making these flicks

>>83432764
They love cars and explosions too much. China of course wants to muscle in their own films, including buying up a lot of production studios. But they really don't have that kind of international appeal.

>>83432696
I was pretty disappointed that it wasn't "robots in disguise" like I always thought of Transformers. You know, on secret missions where no one knew they were robots. Also dumb that they can "transform" into basically anything, wasn't it the 2nd movie where one of the decepticons takes the form of a college chick? It's like they didn't get the fundamental idea of the toy in the first place.

>>83432210
It's clearly not made for /tv/ retards who have problems "marathoning" 25 minutes of a show/movie

>>83432851
Yeah I don't think you can really condescend to people for not liking the Transformers franchise, but okay.

>>83432210
I think I would've liked Transformers 4 if it wasn't so long. It was campy and silly, but not for 2.5 hours. These action movies shouldn't be more than 90 minutes.

>>83432883
and I don't think that people that watch capeshit can be condescending toward the chinese people or anyone else, now back to your "kino" threads

Calling it now,

This will be Bays Magnum Opus with about a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, get nominated for 5 academy awards, and completely btfoing all of /tv/ and Reddit in the process

reminder that the bumble bee spin off is a real thing and is starting to attach actors

This is going to be a disaster. I would hate to be a parent who brings their kids to see this movie.

Kinda thinking OP is lying though.

>Hollywood execs and Michael Bay himself stick their necks out to provide a 3 hour directorial finale for Bay
>3 hours needed to contain all of the plot, character development, and eye-popping action
>they are willing to risk people walking out and taking pee breaks to truly reward the REAL fans
And you even DARE to tell me this won't be absolute kino.

These movies would be top tier action-kino if he just dropped the huge human subplots and made them 100 minutes long with the actual focus on the plot and action instead of these idiotic human subplots (Transformers 3 was a fucking chore to get through because of this and him packing all the action into the third act while having nothing of value for the first two hours).

The product placement opportunities in these films is practically limitless. No one will complain because they're commercial shit movies anyway. The transformers themselves are product placements for car companies. Combine with 8 trillion chinkers lining up to throw their yen or whatever at the screen and they'll never stop making these. Ever.

Bumblebee was a cute yellow VW. But, Chevy paid them more, so now he's a Camaro.

Three hours? That's some weak shit. Come on, Bay, this needs to be an all day affair.

Actually this makes me wonder how long the inevitable director's cut will be.

>>83433699
Gotta wonder, if they had created competent tightly-written action films instead of this bloated crap, would they still have made a billion dollars per film? Maybe they know what they're doing. Profit > art.
