I agree with most of the list, but I think it’s being very generous toward Alien: Covenant.

Earlier in their career, yes. They were much more about political/social commentary, having met and formed the band when they were unemployed in the late 1970s (a ‘UB40' was a document you had to keep in order to claim unemployment welfare here in the UK). After ‘Red Red Wine’ they realised they could make more money…
Ramirez’ current persona was Spanish, but he tells Connor he was born in Ancient Egypt.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me who immediately thought of him.
Definitely picking this up, because:
Beige alert!
Damn legalese.
Reminds me of the Ron-Perlman-still-hopeful-for-Hellboy-3 "spoiler” they used to report every month, even after the reboot was announced.
I think they’re going to discover why Transformers was the only Hasbro property that seemed to work on the big screen (despite Michael Bay’s involvement). Battleship and three GI Joe movies, I’m looking at you here.
Fair.
Bay’s own movies even contradict each other (Megatron is either planning to help the Fallen blow up the sun and destroy all life on Earth, or helping Sentinel Prime enslave humanity after moving Cybertron next to Earth. He can’t do both...)
You could have summed it up in one slide:
Please keep Bay as far away as humanly possible from any future Transformers movie.
Academy hasn’t been cancelled.
That was so much fun to watch, and the animated intro was a great touch.
After ROTB I’ve got used to the idea that Bumblebee will be the only good live-action Transformers movie. Either get Travis Knight back to direct the next one, or don’t bother.
There’s plenty of straight-to-VOD indie horror movies to pad it out with.
Let me know when they make a mass-shifting Soundwave.
Please return to the greys from whence you came, and pick up your horrible take as you leave.
