bruce being a good guy? that's a wildly different plot.

I don't know, I'm from South-East Asia and some of those voices sound pretty authentic. I love the the great Malay names they have for the locations, like the nuclear plant and chemical plant are literally named "Mushroom Cloud" and "Poisonous Toys" respectively, or the desert with a shipwreck in the middle is called the "Old Ocean".

Rico is also technically a terrorist protagonist, he's just a CIA-funded one.

same, i really enjoyed running around and looking at the hilarious place names and the various dialects i understood being thrown around

also they should cast an accent-accurate actress for Bolo Santosi

I haven't seen any of those yet, better or worse than Angelababy in ID4: Resurgence? Because Angelababy put in the single worst English-language performance I have ever heard in that movie (though I don't feel qualified to judge her Mandarin acting).

From what I heard, worse, but I didn't watch enough of ID4 to confirm. The chinese internet sphere are p brutal against Jing Tian's performance in both the English & Chinese language, and I wish i could locate the video of a Chinese/Taiwanese online critic calling her the new 8th wonder of the world for being "able to land so many great roles yet has zero acting skills"

I'm assuming they aren't going to market and produce a 90s era video game console

It's a video game console because that's what people who were kids in the 90s are nostalgic for and video games are what kids of today play, not board games so it appeals to a range of demographics. Board games are pretty obscure compared to video games, and uh yeah i'm guessing they want to appeal to more people than just the ones who go to something called a "board game cafe"

i'm assuming they'll create a retro game like the Wreck it Ralph mobile game and distribute it on ios/android/steam , not actually build a new console

e: um wait, i think i misread your post. do 90s kids only wax nostalgic over the consoles and not the games? i'm confused

They hired a bunch of writers who worked on comic book movies to write out a bunch of scripts starting with this year's movie. Transformers 5 is being written by two guys who wrote the first Iron Man movie and one who did Black Hawk Down. Then they also get Lucasfilm-style 'lore experts' as consultants. The result is probably a Transformers movie that feels more like a comic book film, except the things that goes on in Transformers comics are typically mad (in both good and bad ways). The current Transformers comics, for example, reveals that robots with 'camera' heads like Shockwave were not actually built that way but their original and more humanoid heads were removed as a form of punishment. Also most Transformers who transformed into animals now live on another planet to escape the religiously-motivated genocide of their kind on Cybertron.

Just letting you know I quoted this to a bunch of jaded transformer fans (along with hints of the other spoilers) and they are now very sold on this movie

Is... Is that good? I think it looks great.

It's bad! It's half fun bad and half boring bad but maybe worth a watch?

There is a tease throughout the movie that the four hero characters need to "combine their powers" in order to be super powerful, and while I was anticipating them to do that d B Z combination dance (it doesn't happen), the final act comprises them basically holding each other and creating a hadoken big enough to destroy whole skyscrapers.

What I recall off watching Guardians:

the reason you don't see the villain clearly in most promotional posters and trailers is because he looks like an incredible dope but with a weird muscular body. He's great.

Every one of the four heroes get a few minutes to monologue their personal backstory to the military-industrial complex lady, whose role is apparently to 1. Listen to them moan and whine 2. Wear very attractive military gear and 3. Ride a motorbike and be really cool

The Guardians fail in every single mission they are sent to

The villain's plan is to break a satellite tower, attach it to skyscrapers with a poo poo load of wires hanging in mid air, and create a satellite tower so powerful it can control all the satellites in the world

One of the Guardians has the ability to cut all the wires attaching the said hanging satellite tower. He cuts a couple of wires and calls it a day, which does nothing to affect the tower's integrity

Another Guardian grabs a battery and gets electrocuted at no detriment to the villain's plans

The werebear 's super power is turning into a bear with a gatling gun on his back and it's loving awesome but only used in one scene. The bear also gets sucker punched!
