Keith Olbermann tweeted, ‘Godfather 3. Night after the premiere in LA. Then walked back in on the hunch it would get worse. And it did. Room full of Godfather fans who all cheered when the daughter got shot and laughed when mom screamed.’

The original Transformers hit theaters over the 4th of July holiday weekend in 2007, raking it in at the box office, though it failed to impress critics.

Bay would go on to make two more Transformers movies – 2014’s Transformers: Age of Extinction and 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight, though the director ultimately admitted he should have stopped with a trilogy.

Bay was promoting his new film Ambulance in an interview with Unilad, where he admitted he should have stopped with the original trilogy.

‘I made too many of them. Steven Spielberg said, ‘Just stop at three’. And I said I’d stop,’ Bay revealed.

‘The studio begged me to do a fourth, and then that made a billion too. And then I said I’m gonna stop here,’ Bay said.

‘And they begged me again. I should have stopped. They were fun to do,’ Bay said.
