Introduction: In this film, Michael Bay set up a huge Transformers universe for "Change" and placed it in the millennium civilization of mankind, which further strengthened the dominance of human beings in the film, making Transformers servants, The accompaniment also made the audience completely lose interest in the series.
In the middle of the film, there is a tens of minutes of human group play. The nagging dialogue and awkward gags make the audience yawn and fall asleep. It is not until the return of Optimus Prime in the second half that the audience's enthusiasm is rekindled. This is not surprising, because although the series is under the banner of Transformers, it has always set the protagonist as a human being. In this episode, in order to create the Transformers universe, it is even more extreme.
Americans are used to being the police of the world and lack a sense of reverence for the unknown. It is reflected in the film that they are self-reliant. Transformers have become refugees waiting for human beings to take in. The US military incorporated Optimus Prime in the second part, and the fourth part transformed Megatron God, the robot was docile and shy, and the protagonist played a supporting role.
It is obvious that the earth can be destroyed, but it must be submissive to human beings - this is the inherent deficiencies of the film's logic.
Transformers are a new species whose strength and IQ are far superior to those of humans. They have independent lives and are as joyful as human beings. Every appearance of Optimus Prime is full of male hormones, which dwarfs human beings. Therefore, when the film forcibly reverses the roles of humans and robots regardless of the feelings of the audience, this sense of dislocation makes the film very embarrassing. At the beginning, the freshness prevailed, and it was still tolerated. As the freshness faded, the problems of congenital deficiencies were exposed, and a chain reaction was immediately formed.
Similar problems have been reasonably solved in the "X-Men" series. The character structure of "X-Men" is very similar to that of "Transformers". Because the ability of mutants is much higher than that of humans, it is inevitable that there will be two parties who want to destroy humans and protect humans. This is the protagonist of the film. Human beings only appear as the focal point of the confrontation between the two sides, like a mirror, which ultimately presents the behavior and thoughts of the former.
Even in "X-Men: Days of Future Past", because Mystique's X gene was mastered by humans, a large number of sentinel robots were created, making the mutants face extinction. But in the end, the film was still a big stroke, and the mutants traveled to the past with a high chess game, terminated the Sentinel project, and changed their own destiny - this film is the most exciting one in the "X-Men" series, the mutant Humans are the absolute protagonists.
Back to "Transformers", in order to maintain the dignity of humans as the protagonists, Paramount also tried to make humans compete with robots in force. The specific method is to continuously weaken the ability of Transformers and exaggerate the role of humans. As the fifth installment of this series, human beings can fight against Transformers with hand-held weapons, and the halo of Transformers is fading faster.
In the robot wars that appeared many times in the film, a group of humans ran around on the battlefield with hand-held weapons, but no matter how hard they ran, the audience would be funny because of this disparity. The scene created a sense of disapproval in my heart. And the heroine in this film is also forced to be endowed with some kind of magic power and fate (I am afraid it can only be explained by this), to serve as the key person to save the earth. These settings all give the audience a false sense, and once they are produced, it is difficult for the audience to engage in it again.
In this film, Michael Bay set up a huge Transformers universe for "Change" and placed it in the millennium civilization of mankind, which further strengthened the dominance of human beings in the film, turning Transformers into servants and followers, It also made the audience completely lose interest in the series.
To be fair, the grand scenes in the second half of the film are also wonderful. But it is unable to reverse the decline of the whole film, because as long as Transformers is still a supporting role, the audience will not be interested. Still miss the animated version of Transformers, Autobots, let's go!
