Don't you hate it when movies outright tease a sequel, but end up bombing so bad, that said tease just ends up being left hanging? Still waiting to know what Princess Daisy needed help with...

Worst movie of the year is a bit much. This ain't even in the bottom 3 of Blumhouse movies released this year (Paranormal Activity 6, Sinister 2, Gallows, Area 51 are all measurably worse).

I just saw it earlier, because I had pitched an idea to an editor of a newspaper I am interning at to write a review for it, and also because of my brooding curiosity for it. Now I went in with low expectations. I was not expecting anything good in the least bit. It turned out that this film did suck, but I found some bright spots. I think Aubrey Peeples has a good singing voice, and I kind of the like the nods to the old series towards the end with people wearing Jem shirts and also having the cartoon shown in the background. I also kind of liked the bonus scene with The Misfits, but I noticed how miscast Roxy and Jetta were. First off, Roxy was not Asian, and Jetta was not Hispanic. Second, it is obviously teasing a sequel, which I am sure will not happen considering how bad it is flopping. I was one of three people in the theater today. Yes, it was during the week, so it could be argued, but the other two were a mother and her young daughter. That was it. This movie was bad, but I knew what I was getting.

Well the Misfits ought to wait in the waiting room with Azula, 5 years later she is still waiting, I think they are all be waiting for a long time.

Everything about this movie can go scratch. I don't even care about Jem, but reading up on this movie, the absolute cynicism surrounding it and how much it minimalized young women and reduces them to nothing more than social media fame whores, it's easy to call this the worse movie of the year.

Yeah, worst of all they made it females that needed to saved by a man, in this case Rio of all people, he is one that owns the record company, he named the band, what a crock. If these guys adaped Sailor Moon, Neo Queen Serenty would be queen of the world only by marrage to King Endymon, when it was the other way around. When it was really the other way around, Neo Queen Serenty she was the monorach of the world, King Endymon was her first lady. And hate to think what they would do to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Say what you want about all the dumb things in the Bay Transformer movies (of which there are a ton), but at the very least they were able to get the basic concept of the series right.

Yep For all their faults (and there are plenty) you can at least tell you're watching a transformers flick Agreed. A big part of why Bay's Transformers do well at the box office is they always show the Autobots and Decepticons fighting it out, which is like it or not the basis of the source material. Bay at least had the decency to make them action films with huge fight and special effects. He didn't make them into overly hardcore war dramas or a series of whimsical romantic comedies.
