Time OutJoshua RothkopfJun 25, 2017
Clangorous and nonsensical, the fifth installment of the toys-to-world-saviors franchise still has a spark of grandeur that could only come from one director. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJun 20, 2017
For the first time, the messy hyperactive form and nihilistic crunched-metal content seem to reinforce each other. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattJun 20, 2017
Monster metal, mass destruction, Anthony Hopkins saying “dude.” This is your brain on Michael Bay—a cortex scramble so amped on pyro and noise and brawling cyborgs it can only process what’s happening on screen in onomatopoeia: Clang! Pew-pew! Kablooey! Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonJun 27, 2017
Bay makes a lot of familiar moves here. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangJun 20, 2017
If the film’s trio of new screenwriters (replacing series mainstay Ehren Kruger) have seamlessly upheld the crass and juvenile “Transformers” sensibility, then Bay’s visual sensibility has, if anything, matured, to the point of demanding and earning your exasperated surrender. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJun 20, 2017
The more striking moments of The Last Knight—this is an ostentatious Michael Bay movie, after all—speak just as loudly to its director’s indifference to both source material and visual scale. Read full review

IndieWireEric KohnJun 20, 2017
It’s an unabashed freewheeling mess of CGI explosions, fast-talking strategies and shiny metal monstrosities clashing in epic battles. And it’s actually kind of fun, in an infuriating sort of way, to watch the most ridiculous Hollywood movie of the year do its thing. Read full review

The Film StageDaniel SchindelJun 20, 2017
This film’s sense of action geography and tactics is atrocious. Read full review

Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallJun 20, 2017
It's the little pleasures in mediocre movies that mean a lot. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJun 20, 2017
The fifth Transformers movie, The Last Knight, is far from the worst in this continuing experiment in noisy nonsense based on Hasbro toys. That is thanks largely to two words: Anthony Hopkins. Read full review

The VergeMegan FarokhmaneshJun 20, 2017
It’s beautiful, bombastic, and nearly indistinguishable from those that came before it. Read full review

The New YorkerRichard BrodyJun 27, 2017
The absolute tastelessness of Bay’s images, their stultifying service to platitudes and to merchandise, doesn’t at all diminish their wildly imaginative power. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerJun 26, 2017
Bay’s genuine determination to give you a good time still doesn’t result in fun. Overlong, overstuffed and soulless, for fans who grew up with Optimus and Co, The Last Knight will sting like a bee. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJun 20, 2017
It’s all an overstuffed mess, but that was true of the previous entries as well, and audiences obviously don’t seem to mind. Read full review

Total FilmMatt MaytumJun 20, 2017
By now you know exactly what to expect from a Transformers film: undeniably epic action spectacle at the cost of character, logic or genuine drama. Predictably formulaic. Read full review

ScreenCrushMatt SingerJun 20, 2017
The Last Knight is not, in any conventional sense, entertaining or good, although parts of it are spectacular. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoJun 20, 2017
Bay's latest Transformer title is a daunting behemoth of a film and you can feel every ounce of dead weight, as sins of the past are committed without any signs of stopping. Read full review

VoxEmily VanDerWerffJun 20, 2017
There’s fun to be had in The Last Knight, if you can find it among the chaos — and if you can remember it after the fact. Read full review

IGNGav MurphyJun 20, 2017
The Last Knight is the loudest and most explosively dull installment yet. Read full review
