Review 281: "Transformers: Age of Extinction"

The rules have changed.

Not So Rusty

      I don't particularly love Michael Bay's Transformers series. Hell, I downright hated the last one. So, tonight, they released the trailer for this June new Transformers: Age of Extinction. Yeah, count me in.

The Undefined Gamer: Rematerialization of the Mini-Reviews

I've been a very naughty boy. So many movies have I watched, but
not reviewed. In penance, here is another helping of mini-reviews.

Turtles Down

    News is just coming out and it seems like the already-having-a-bad-year Paramount Pictures has shutdown production of Michael Bay's controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot.

Not Turtles Either

    A lot of fuss has been made by the fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles after, as I talked about last week, Michael Bay apparently changed their origin slightly for his new film, now making them aliens or having something to do with aliens, and as the new title for the upcoming film is just Ninja Turtles, many fans fear he is also getting rid of the "Teenage" part of the name. But, now it seems, it is going to be even worse. A leaked draft of the script has revealed that they aren't even turtles anymore. They are part of an alien race coming down to Earth looking for a new home. However, when their "Skin" reacts to Earth's atmosphere, it's "Mutates" them into turtle-looking creatures. So, now, they really are just Ninjas. Great. One last thing:

    While at first I wasn't going to talk about this, the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the latest bit of Michael Bay news makes it a little more worth talking about. Michael Bay is currently producing a new adaptation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Along with sadly another Transformers). And he has recently announced that the turtles will no longer be the creation of a mysterious radioactive goo from a sewer, but now they're just aliens.
