So I recently watched Transformers: The Last Knight and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
Humans are at war with the Transformers, and Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) is gone. The key to saving the future lies buried in the secrets of the past and the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Now, it's up to the unlikely alliance of inventor Cade Yeager (played by Mark Wahlberg), Bumblebee (voiced by Erik Aadahl), an English lord (played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) and an Oxford professor (played by Laura Haddock) to save the world.
If anyone thought Transformer films couldn't get any worse, then they haven't seen this film. My oh my what to say about this film and franchise that hasn't already been said. The trailers for the film weren't the greatest in the world, but it did present a lot of great info that could make for a great film (had somebody else directed), but those concepts are barely in the film and when they are in the film you have no idea what is going on because of the mayhem surrounding both key scenes. The film starts out like a solid departure from what we are used to seeing and it kinda gets your hopes up, then when they move into present day, it feels like someone has stabbed you in the back. In a Transformers film you have to at some point really focus on those characters and just like the previous 4 films, the humans are the focal point and when we do get Transformers moments, they either happen towards the end of the film in the big climatic battle or a short 30 second scene to provide just a tad bit of background the story (or lack thereof). If there is one thing we can count on in a Michael Bay film is that the action is going to come at you nonstop and it does just that in this film and these might be some of the best action scenes he's ever gotten on camera and the visuals are just absolutely stunning and makes a terrible film look somewhat decent trying to cover up the bad on the inside. One thing the series has been able to do is get legendary actors to have somewhat major roles in the film and Sir Anthony Hopkins is the legend this go around and his performance and role might be the worst out of all the big name actors to join the franchise over the years. Overall this film is lackluster and Michael Bay said this would be his last go at the franchise and if so then thank goodness we can finally get a fresh take on this franchise. I give Transformers: The Last Knight a 2.5 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Transformers: The Last Knight, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
