This movie was a lot of fun. Glad it's managed to do this well. I consider this a rather rare movie trilogy where each entry is better than the last. Would love to see that happen again for Sonic 4!

We’ve finally reached the point where people who play the games are the ones making the decisions. Good on them!

I hope there's less focus on the humans next time. It's the same problem the Transformers moves have.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but I also kind of struggle to see how they’d shave the human stuff down even further than in Sonic 3, because they’re already extremely underplayed in it, tbh. Even Tom, who is practically the main character of the first film, gets about 15 minutes of screentime at max in this movie.

The one Transformers movie to have zero humans was also the only Transformers movie to lose money at the box office. For better or worse, people want an anchor for the weirdness to bounce off of.

Not to mention having little to no humans may have worked for the original games, the old comics, & some of the animated series that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to work here.

I feel like the "no humans" things has some nuance to it. The original 86 Transformers movie had humans in it. The difference is they didn't have any pointless plotlines about a wedding or whatever. Spike was working on the Cybertron with Bumblebee and Daniel was on Earth with Hot Rod in Autobot City. The idea of humans isn't bad on it's own but it depends how you use them. Sonic Adventure 2/live-action 3 is a good example with Maria and her relationship with Shadow.

To be fair it was also animated and aimed at kids rather than a live-action movie aimed at adults like the rest. I did not watch Transformers One because it looked a bit too juvenile to me.
