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. 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

CGI is good. The plots are alright but lacking depth, and illogical in some area. The worst parts about the movie are the cheesy 'bad' jokes ridden throughout the movie, to the point it severely bring down the movie to mediocrity. Because of the terrible 'bad jokes', I felt compelled to give this a rating of '2', otherwise I would give the film a rating of '4'. This film is watchable if you keep your expectation low.… Expand

Transformers: The Last Knight is just another pain-to-the-eyes excuse of marketing our beloved Transformers at least near two hours of Michael Bay trying so hard to entertain us all without using already-clichéd ideas from the simpleton past.

I am a big Transformers fan, the Michael Bay films have generally appealed to me to a certain degree up until now, but The Last Knight is just pure rubbish. It comes close to Suicide Squad levels of bad.

Let's just agree that the firstI am a big Transformers fan, the Michael Bay films have generally appealed to me to a certain degree up until now, but The Last Knight is just pure rubbish. It comes close to Suicide Squad levels of bad.

Let's just agree that the first Transformers film was great. Thought Revenge of the Fallen was bad? At least it had Jetfire and the Fallen, it could have been better if it wasn't victim of a Writers Union's strike at the time. Thought Dark of the Moon was crap? At least it had Sentinel Prime, Shockwave, the giant Worm and Cybertron but didn't feature Devastator's metallic balls or the twins. Thought Age of Extinction was a joke? At least it had the cool Dinobots and Cybertronian spaceships with giant magnets. But The Last Knight is even worse. It's the worst Bay-directed Transformers film by far.

It's a series of nonsensical character plot arcs which are either forgotten later or thrown in the film in an atrocious way. No spoilers ahead, it's all in the trailers already. If you mix up King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Merlin the Magician, 3-headed Dragons, giant spaceships, a female English Historian who looks for a man, Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg's character) who just so happens to be single, a teenage girl, an English Lord and his Transformer butler, a human anti-Transformers paramilitary group named TRF, the Quintessons, and the Transformers, plus Michael Bay, you get The Last Knight.

Light spoilers ahead (no, not really). For some reason the TRF decide to make a deal with Megatron who asks for the release of some of his captive Decepticon comrades with laughable names such as Nitro Zeus and Dreadbot, but (unless I missed it) humans asked for nothing in return. The film's Writers even go so far as to make Antony Hopkins' character a member of the ancient, centuries-spanning "Witwiccan Order" to make fun of Samuel Witwicky (aka former Transformers lead actor Shia LaBeouf, who was fired just like Megan Fox). End of light spoilers.

OK we know the Bayformers film series never had any serious plot, but at least they always had spectacle which WOWed the audience. The Last Knight lacks even that. Sure there are robots bashing each other, but the fights are boring. There are scenes where everyone is firing their guns at the enemies but it seems more like they are shooting at nobody really. Then there is the torn apart Cybertron in all its giant-pile-of-rubbish glory. And there is a scene (as well as in the trailers) where 6 enemy robots place their heads in such a wonderful position for Optimus Prime to effortlessly cut them off in a single sword swing, and he's supposed to look badass but I just thought it was bad cinematography by Bay. Oh, the film even has Hot Rod in it but if you were waiting to see the Rodimus Prime storyline unfold you are wrong. The name of any robot in the Transformers films series means nothing, you could name them anything you wanted to but it's up to Bay as to what to do with them.

The only (maybe) positive thing in the whole movie is the Marvel-esque mid credits scene which is a tease for the next Transformers movie.

All in all, The Last Knight is a really bad film, even by the Bayformers low standards. There is going to be a 6th film for sure, but I hope Michael Bay stays true to his word and doesn't come back. I 'd rather see a complete Transformers film reboot. Start it all over, get the Transformers mythos right, and pretend the Bayformers films never existed.… Expand

Normally a film would follow the tried and true 3 act structure, but Transformers 5 is different. It goes introduction, build-up, climax, build-up and then finally climax again. Another issue is the overlapping stories, at the start, it feels like there are 3 stories, a few minutes in they cross, then they split again but into 2 stories. They cross again at the end but it was so sloppily done that for a while I'd forgot I even had the criticism. This has to be one of the poorest, messiest laziest films I've ever seen.… Expand

Not because it's funny, but because it's ridiculous to the point of eliciting laughter. I was honestly shocked at just how stupid this film managed to be sometimes. After Age of Extinction, I thought there was no way these movies could possibly get worse. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

The same basic plot we've seen four times before makes a return, but this time, by hugely convoluted means, the film forgoes all logic and upends the franchise's continuity, clearly for the sole purpose of setting up future spinoffs. Sadly, the action isn't even good enough to make up for any of that.

This movie was also shot with like seven different cameras, so the aspect ratio is always shifting. It's incredibly annoying. All of the charm this concept once had is gone, and the only hope of getting any of it back is to completely reboot the series, or to prevent Michael Bay from having any creative input moving forward.… Expand

Bay should understand by now that this works in short music clips, not movies.

Wahlberg is pure comedy, Hopkins should erase this from his memory, which he probably has due to his age and absolutely all of the cast should follow.

This is as shallow as it gets. It’s dumb, it’s incoherent… did mention dumb?

As for the performances, it's a shame to see Anthony Hopckins doing the ridiculous thing. A movie that neither to pass the time is. I do not recommend it at all.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow.... I've watched every single Transformers movie and this is by far the WORST one in the series. I brought my friends to watch it and one of them fell asleep for half the movie while the other ones are just so bored of it.

Nothing makes sense for these movies and this is going to a real insane lvl and it really defies logic. It's so hard to even find something good to say about this movie; even when the action scenes seem really cool and in a big scale, I didn't feel the immersion for it like in other movies...

The decepticons get nerfed so hard in this movie especially Megatron and the main villian Quintessa doesn't even pose a threat; she led to her to own demise by even holding cybertron at that very spot!

The main highlight for this movie was ofc the fight between bumblebee and Optimus; I think that was the only part I was engaged and thought it was alright

In the end Transformers the Last Knight is horrible... Like really really bad. 1/10 is for the effort they put in but in reality this is really a 0
I can't even call this a movie.... Someone pls save the Transformers Franchise xD

And DO NOT CONTINUE where that post credit scene left off; I rather a see a entire new reboot to the franchise and giving the movie to good hands instead of Michael Bay… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fifth film represents Transformers at its lowest. In this mess of a movie, none characterisation exists, and all characters attain a point where they anoy. The death of Anthony Hopkins actually releavs the spectator from a pain to watch. Pity that an excellent veteran actor sells himself to **** Mark Wahlberg's performance is maybe his worst, as well as the rest of the actors. Now let's talk about the plot. There is none. It feels like a cheap reboot(although it costed 260 million dollars in its making) of the fourth last films, and feels even like a parody of those and Bay's filmography in general. Your brain tries in vain to understand between hours of exposition and scathological humour that makes a cacophony of sounds, between bad jokes of strippers and sex. Although this is redeemed by the always beautiful score from Steve Jablonsky. Dialogue feels forced, as well as the story, which doesn't flow at all. Optimus Prime, as well as the other transformers, are totally secondary and doesn't feel like characters, and scarcely appear. Their dialogue makes them look like idiot children, and the grandiloquent sentences of Optimus Prime are forced and clichéd. There is a surprising little amount of action in this one, and when there is, it lasts little and is nauseating, except for some decent ones with Optimus Prime and an incredible one at the beginning. Transformers 5 is the worst in the series. It gains points, though, for its feast-of-the-eye special effects, Cogman's character, which is maybe the best idea they had for the sake of this **** piece of **** and some of the mythology that takes place in the Middle Ages.… 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,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.

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

Honestly, were we expecting anything else to criticize about Transformers: The Last Knight? Well,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.

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

Here you have a bunch of scenes stick together that constantly breaks the flow of the movie or render it unwatchable because it create a lot of chaos and distraction. There are too much side characters that have small roles and almost no impact on the overall story. The acting is boring from one end to another. A lot of shouting by the way. The FX are excessive, unfocused and with bad camera angles. On top of that the scenes often switches to one place to another with almost no good transitions. The editing is failing really big here, but maybe the original material wasn't that good to start with... I give 10% because Anthony Hopkins got paid.… Expand

This movie sucks, I did not leave the theater out of respect for the eleven dollars I spent on the ticket, too long and boring, in the action scenes you do not know what happens, the action scenes are too saturated with effects special. BORING.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only good thing this movie has going for it is the visuals. The story gets confusing as hell half-way through and after that, it bored me to death. It has tolerable script writing but the number of special effects just ruins the entire atmosphere making this world seem incredibly plastic. After that, the amount of continuity errors for a film of this higher budget is totally abhorrent. For example, Bee was apparently in WW2 and just so happened never to mention it across the previous 4 films, if you are going to add something like that to a character then you need to add some reason for him to not mention it or not show some indication of it. If you've watched the film you'll know that near the end BumbleBee gets his voice back, this could have been used to make BumbleBee speak more normally and allow for some comedic moments where he's getting used to using a regular voice again, but instead they make him speak almost the exact way he did when he had to use a radio, but this time he has absolutely no reason to! This means that BumbleBee is still just spouting irrelevant one-liners, but this time it isn't with his radio voice, making them fit in and not stand out due to him only having a small sample of voices to choose from, and instead with this unbroken voice that sounds like it was done in one take that totally throws off any moment in the movie that was trying to be dramatic.… Expand

So this is the only transformers i have ever watched (aside from Bumblebee, but that doesn't count, does it?). I was never interested in transformers, and the only reason why I watched this film was because the reviews were so bad i had toSo this is the only transformers i have ever watched (aside from Bumblebee, but that doesn't count, does it?). I was never interested in transformers, and the only reason why I watched this film was because the reviews were so bad i had to see it for myself. And let me tell you right now: transformers last knight is one of the worst films i have ever seen.
To start of with, the effects range from average, to flat out bad. The acting also ranges from average to bad. All the voices over characters sound like their either half-asleep, blandly reading off a script or both. And as for the actors and actresses, I think it's clear that they knew how much of a train-wreak this film was going to be, and as such, don't put any effort into their acting whatsoever.
I'm not going to talk much about the story, because it's basically just robots fighting other robots, but on earth, so you get humans helping or hindering along the way. Like I said, I haven't watched any other transformers films, but I'm pretty sure all of their stories are exactly the same as Last Knight.
Their are two more subjects i want to talk about that make this film as bad as it is. First is that it's so boring! I was having trouble keeping my eyes open during this film because it was so mind-numbingly dull. Whether it's a slow scene or a fast scene, it's boring. A talking scene of an action scene, it's boring, you get the picture. And that leads me onto my last point: this is the most unfunny film i have ever seen in my life. Every "joke", if you could call them jokes, is like a stab in your ear lobes. You will cringe so hard at the humour/torture in this film.
Overall, this film is almost a guide in how to not make movies. Unfunny, bad acting, bad effects and boring as sin.
Avoid at all costs, or don't, I'm not your mum, jeez.… Expand

The last knight easily the worst transformers film. This movie has a very hard to follow plot because it is all over the place. This movie has even hard to follow action scenes. Good thing I watched it once never watching it again. Waste of money

What the hell, nothing is really the center of this movie. NOT EVEN OPTIMUS PRIME. Instead, an ensemble of ridiculous and mono-dimensional human characters are confusingly shown during the story. One of the main characters is a 14-years girl awkwardly portrayed as some kind of sexy, post apocalyptic fighter (wtf is wrong with you man?!). Incoherent, frenetic and chaotic storyline that tries to blend together the following themes: giant alien transforming robot, King Arthur and the knights of the round table, dragons, demons, Merlin, a robot god/sorceress, comedy moments, a planet eating other planets, USA marine forces, secret English society....and Anthony Hopkins.

Please, Michael Bay, please stop raping my childhood...I'll give you my lunch money...… Expand

The film's writing, story, characters (robot and especially human), and final act/battle are absolutely awful. Even worse, scenes and characters seem ripped out from other films (a chase sequence seems ripped straight from F&F, the little squeaks character is a complete BB-8 type, etc). The action sequences that are there though are so boring and wane in comparison to some of the other films. I pray that viewers don't see this film and give paramount incentive to make more of these embarrassments to blockbuster films and film in general.… Expand

The feeling of wanting to turn off the movie multiple times throughout the movie is strong in this one. The plot had no depth to it at all. No red thread throughout either. And don't get me started on those so called "emotional scenes" with some characters. Trying to connect you with some of the main characters only to last 15 seconds(I am not kidding), and then followed up by 50x new explosions. Yes, explosions. If you like explosions, this movies is for you. You will be so pleased, and maybe too pleased with how many there are. I bet, even the most explosion fanatic would start to yawn 15 minutes in, begging it to stop in real fear of epileptic seizure.… Expand

Mr. Bay, get directing tips fromTransformers: The Last Knight: Michael Bay's fifth installment of the endlessly atrocious Transformers franchise is filled with expensive explosions, clichés, cheesiness, and possibly the worst dialogue ever. Mr. Bay, get directing tips from the great Scorsese!
Starring: Mark Wahlberg. Anthony Hopkins. Josh Duhamel.
Directed by Michael Bay.
By Blake Patterson.
0/100. This is one of those abhorrent movies I saw on a website; I only watched it, because I wanted to tell people why Michael Bay sucks. Transformers: The Last Knight's incoherent plot is so goofy that I almost started laughing. Viewers see Stanley Tucci in disguise as Merlin, possibly the worst performance in his acting career, and Bay expects us to not recognize him. Someone should've paid the gifted Anthony Hopkins to be in this detritus; He portrays as a historian, Sir Edmund Burton, who says that there were robots in the medieval era. Burton's robot, Cogman, is a character that plagiarizes C-3PO perfectly; Lucasfilm should sue the crap out of this abomination. People who enjoyed this monstrosity should stay away from Bay's films; I'll make sure to recommend them classic movies. Mark Wahlberg appears in this film again, and it is said that he is leaving the franchise; Attaboy Wahlberg, you've made a smart movie pal! Bay follows his tradition of objectifying women in this one; Laura Haddock's character is a walking cliché that is supposed to please the men. The dialogue is substandard and corny; At the end of the film, Wahlberg's character says, “You did good bro,” to the young female character in the film played by Isabela Moner. Bay uses more tiring explosions than actual dialogue. Those are the many reasons why this film is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Transformers: The Last Knight is the worst film of the year so far. Lazy directing won't take you far folks!… Expand

-Megatron changed body from Galvatron without explanations

-The design of Quintessa don't match with the one of the Creators showed in the previous movie, she's robotic instead of organic

-Cybertron FLOAT TO THE EARTH!!!!!!!!! In DOTM were needed thousands of ultra-technological pillars invented by the most intelligent transformers ever, on earth and space to bring it near Earth

-Quintessa is the only creator to appear, the others well, Bay forgot about.

-Decepticons are retarded

-Bumblebee in the WW2??? timeline **** up
