The TelegraphRobbie CollinJun 20, 2017

If you’re not staggered by the technique on display here – the stuff that sets Bay’s work miles above the Fast & Furiouses, X-Men: Apocalypses and Tom Cruise-chasing Mummies of this world – you’re not paying attention. Read full review

The Film StageDaniel SchindelJun 20, 2017

The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenJun 20, 2017

When words fail in The Last Knight, the crunching and crashing and KLANKing of the special-effects scenes take up the slack. Punishingly overwrought in every aspect, Last Knight is a KLANK! KLANK! KLUNKER. Read full review

I liked the actions. SO much Hype and Excitement. I have been waiting for an average film of not to good or bad. The Battle is so violent but still fun.

This movie wasn't that bad, it was okay. What do you expect from a Transformer's movie? Yeah, sure we have had the same movie five times now, but this one has more of an interesting plot than other entries. What bogs it down is having way too many side characters and too much going on for the first hour or so. The movie picks up around the one hour mark when they get to Anthony Hopkin's house and is actually pretty alright after that. Easily theThis movie wasn't that bad, it was okay.

"Transformers: The Last Knight" was a film that was not to everyone's satisfaction, the story was bad, by no means had to do with the title, instead of titling, "Transformers: The Last Knight" This movie must be titled "Transformers: The End of the World" terrible performances, and excessive use of special effects, which were also lousy, undoubtedly the worst movie of the summer, and one of the worst of the year.

Transformers: The Last Knight is 2X MESSIER than Age of Extinction. Every time when Michael Bay directs a Transformers movie, he always add explosions and useless potty humor to make his movie entertaining for his sake. Jesus Christ.. where do I have to start this? Okay, first of all, the visuals and use of CGI were outstanding but at the same time, everything in this movie is ridiculous.

Okay, first of all, the visuals and use of CGI were outstanding but at the same time, everything in this movie is ridiculous. Everything from lousy directing, choppy editing, rushed pacing, annoying characters, and the screenplay of this garbage film is cheesier than a Nickelodeon TV movie. Second, HE ADDS WAY MORE EXPLOSIONS!!!! Michael Bay always have a strange fetish using explosions everytime he adds them in every movie he makes. In almost every scene he makes that involve explosions, it does not do anything to make his movies better. Matter of fact, he's making it worser than previous Transformers movies. Lastly, WHY DID HE MAKE THIS MOVIE??!! Bay's motivations is aiming for money and that's pretty much it! The only positive that I can give to Bay is his departure from directing future Transformers movies and that's it. Hey Bay, I can assure you that you will sweep the RAZZIE awards in no time because this movie is a waste of time!… Expand

It is part war movie, part historical epic, part romantic comedy, part slapstick comedy, part disaster movie, and one-hundred-percent disaster. Honestly, were we expecting anything else to criticize about Transformers: The Last Knight? Well, a lot more can be said.

Honestly, were we expecting anything else to criticize about Transformers: The Last Knight? Well, a lot more can be said.

The film opens 1,600 years ago in the dark ages of England, where King Arthur fights in a war along with his fellow knights, using fire cannons. No explanation comes up as to what started the battle, just what ended it. Basically, the wizard Merlin seeks out a spaceship to request help from the autobots. Yes, you read that right. Cybertron, along with a three-headed metal dragon, helped the knights of the round table triumph. I fail to understand why all these big movies suddenly decided to dump all over the Arthurian legend, but unlike the barely better King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, the disrespect goes further by victimizing London’s ancestry.

Yeah, I know, we have to suspend our disbelief with anything big released during the Summer, but there must be limitations. Anthony Hopkins’ narration wants us to believe Stonehenge’s original purpose was to be a portal, for crying out loud!

The early trailers wanted to press the popular “girl power” mentality, when, in actuality, The Last Knight, like the previous four installments, cares only about making girls look acceptable for a thirteen-year-old’s Sports Illustrated calendar. The series’ new forgettable sexy young woman works at Oxford University, because only in the Bay-Universe can combined beauty and brains still come off as dumb. Even the fifteen-year-old actress here has to run in a loose bra and low-cut white tank top. The men do not get much better treatment either, as Mark Wahlberg awkwardly poses shirtless, six-pack in all its glory, for no apparent reason.

The mercilessly long runtime continues Bay’s plague of insulting woman as well as anybody of color. The one Black guy, played by the only actor in the entire film who seems to be trying, reflects the old “coon” caricature almost to a tee; one of the returning Japanese warrior autobots continues mocking every Asian viewer; French accents are mocked for sounding unnatural; then Native Americans take the hardest beating as the sole red-skinned individual gets comically nicknamed “Chief.” Meanwhile, the true heroes in the spotlight gleam in pure red, white, and blue with the stripes and the stars.

These shallow indistinguishable characters sway the balance scale with enough frustration to make you hate the human race. The worst new addition, an Irish butler autobot; resembles C-3P0 with a mannerism reflecting the Annoying Orange, and receives way too much screen time. None of the other characters, old or new, goes through any sort of inner change from the war besides the underused Optimus Prime.

None of these lousy walking cardboard figures appeared serious about acting as a career—they just wanted to star in a major production guaranteed to make 2.1 billion dollars worldwide. Though the blame for their performance lands more on the purely expositional dialogue constantly interrupted by long, boring jokes. It almost seems like the team of six editors resorted to a rushed first draft of their process.

Each big action scene these editors had to work their way around felt like a climactic battle, which in turn made the final scene look pretty dang close to the infamous “light beam from the sky” climax. While the perfectly timed music and sound effects allow the right cinematic submersion you hoped for, Michael Bay forgets about all the Arthurian Legend fanfiction to give the visual effects crew a chance to show off (badly).

All this roleplaying subliminally wants regular people to think they are more qualified to save the world than the pentagon, yet the “regular people” here show fewer signs of human life than the high-tech artificial intelligence. How can we resonate with an extraterrestrial robot which can turn into a car owned by a billionaire? They seem less like complex souls with fears and dreams, and more like subliminal messaging to hate the government while living dependent on expensive materialistic needs to sustain our humanity.

Also, as a side note: When I went to purchase my ticket (on a Tuesday by the way) forty minutes beforehand, the house was already nearly sold out. So, we now know how our condition remains unchanged from sixty years ago: The United States is still holding itself back from the rest of the world.… Expand
