Ron P Apr 24, 2019 I loved it regardless of storyline

Rey L Apr 24, 2019 This is the only transformers movie I can genuinely say I didn't enjoy. Yes, the action, visuals and soundtrack were all great, but this movie completely 69'd the timeline, and Optimus was only in the movie for like 10 minutes, of a 154-minute movie. I remember being hyped for this movie because I thought that Optimus was going to be the main villain, and he wasn't, and was only bad for like 5 minutes. Overall, wasn't impressed See more

Apr 22, 2019 "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". Never has this statement been so accurate than with the fifth installment of Bay's Transformers franchise. From a convoluted and contradicting plot that in an attempt to set-up further films, ruins the one's before it, to amateur and jarring editing by this films one hundred editors, The Last Knight is the anti-thesis of the original Transformers trilogy Bay conjured up-It truly is action without heart. The only redeemable factor of this film is its score, as usual by Steve Jablonsky lives up to expectation. Even Optimus Prime can't save this one from Extinction. See more

Apr 19, 2019 This one deserves a 0. It's just so bad, boring, loud, long and everything you'd not want to watch in a summer blockbuster.

Apr 18, 2019 Pretty much all the criticisms that I had for the last film applies to this film. It's overlong, convoluted, and worst of all, BORING! It's still better than Age of Extinction and Revenge of the Fallen, but that's hardly a compliment. It doesn't try as hard as either of the movies to be funny, but like every other Michael Bay movie, there were bad attempts at humour and shitty one-liners. There were some nice use of slow-mo shots and this makes it easier to follow the action. There were only two good scenes in the entire film. The car chase scene in London and the fight scene between Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Speaking of Optimus Prime, he's barely in the film. In this 2 and a half hour movie (which is pretty typical for a Transformers movie), I would say that Optimus Prime had a total of 15 minutes of screentime. He's essentially The Joker from Suicide Squad. A lot of fans have defended the limited screentime that The Joker had in Suicide Squad because he's a supporting character, but Optimus Prime has always been an important character in the franchise. Why did we need John Turturro, the black guy, and the bad child actor more than Optimus Prime? I've never been a Transformers fan, but Optimus Prime has always been the best part about the franchise. And like every other Transformers movie, there's a very long and boring third act action set-piece followed by a monologue from Optimus Prime to end the film. Even when you're starting to enjoy the action, it's ruined by not only bad jokes, but constant changes of aspect ratio. Usually, a big budget movie would film entire scenes (usually important scenes) in IMAX before reverting to its original aspect ratio to make the transition as unobtrusive as possible. But the way Bay uses IMAX, the aspect ratio changes in the same scene with each cut, some of which aren't even a second long. Even shot reverse shot changes aspect ratio. It's distracting and pretty hard to ignore. The same visual mess can be seen in Revenge of the Fallen. It's as if Michael Bay is completely talentless. I know people enjoy the Transformers movies for the junk food that it is and would ridicule me for expecting decent writing. I've given that up since Revenge of the Fallen. For the past four films, I've tried to enjoy Transformers as a mindless action flick, but Michael Bay has been doing the same thing for all of these films. It's really not too much to ask for more substance when Logan, Wonder Woman, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 offers much more than mindless visuals and loud explosions. Even Fast & Furious 8 does mindless action way better than Transformers. It's a one star for the two good scenes in the entire film. See more
