Transformers: The Last Knight is a 2017 Sci-Fi Action

film directed by the one-and-only Michael Bay. Starring Mark


Wahlberg and Sir Anthony Hopkins featuring the voice talents
of Peter Cullen and John Goodman. This film was distributed
by Paramount and I have seen it with my brother over the
summer. Lets begin the review.

The film starts after the events of Age of Extinction,


where Cade (Mark) is now an owner of a vast junkyard keeping
most of the Autobots safe instead of being an inventor.
Anthony Hopkins owns a robot butler and other relics from
Transformers history. The world is going to end because
Cybertron is going to crash into Earth. And this all ties
into King Arthur, Merlin and Stonehenge. Confused? I was.
The only real notable characters of the film
include Anthony Hopkins, his robot butler Cogman, and
Optimus who is only in the film for 20 minutes despite
seeming like the main character for all the promotional
material. Everyone else can be forgotten.

I felt like dying during The Last Knight. It felt


impossible to keep track of due to the amount of stuff they
put in and most of the characters leave the movie and come
back towards the end. Not to mention the aspect ratio
changes with each shot for some reason. I guess it looked
nice in IMAX but this feature made the film look rushed and
incomplete. I could go on, but id like to spare you my
trouble.

This film doesnt include themes so I lied about


sparing trouble. I miss the writing of the fourth one no
matter how odd it was. It had time to develop who Cade was
and develop his situation in Age of Extinction. The editing
is all over the place and it feels as if nothing is
connected due to how much can go by in a minute switching
from the military to Cade to Sir Anthony and then to Optimus
on Cybertron.
Im starting to think that the Transformers
audience is starting to drift away from these movies
realizing they are out of ideas. I mean King Arthur does not
equal Transformers lore. Nor did it show Hitlers hand
getting blown off by a watch. I think these movies are sort
of guilty pleasures for me since I grew up with the first
one.

Overall, I give Transformers: The Last Knight a
