If there's a movie worse than this set for release this year, let's hope the distributor has the good sense not to do it.

1/5

Military-Industrial Uncomplicated...Despite the theme that "Magic does exist" ("It was found long ago. Inside a crashed alien ship"), The Last Knight is all mirthless jokes and thrill-less mayhem.

0.5/4

Mr. Sunday Movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQXmiVi0kN8

”Transformers: The Last Knight" isn't the worst chapter of the eye-crossing saga (the one that showcased Decepticon testicles, that's the worst), but it's close, watching Bay say sayonara to this blockbuster cash machine with a ”Transformers" retirement party that's deafening, bewildering, and painfully clichéd, showing little interest in anything besides the Bay basics when it comes to yet another round of metal-crunching madness.

3/10

Can this beat The Mummy for worst reviewed film of the summer??? Stay tuned!

[Geno Breaker]

Off to a great start. :^)

 

[Mariolee]

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

will wait for duckrolls take

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Lmao this movie is about to get shredded isn't it?

 

[cr0w]

Sounds about right.

Spoiler

Still going first thing Saturday

 

[strafer]

I'm seeing this, nothing will stop me from enjoying some Bay-ism.

 

[djplaeskool]

...and it's 3 hours looooong

 

[Malvingt2]

 

[Apharmd]

Par for the course.

I'll be watching this to see Optimus break Bumblebee's back.

 

[Anth0ny]

before anyone says china don't care



apparently the presales in china are surprisingly soft. like really soft.


china DO care!

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Worse than Age of Extinction would be quite the accomplishment.

 

[Violent_Shin]

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

And it will still pull in an explosive amount of money.

Someone stop them before they get ahold of other franchises I used to love.

 

[Steiner84]

interested in this

 

[Prompto]

I'll be impressed if this manages to be worse than Age of Extinction

 

[Ray Down]

...and it's 3 hours looooong

And Duckroll will love every fucking mintue of it.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Happens all the time. These films get shredded to bits, yet make billions at the box office. Bay just doesn't care and neither do movie-goers

 

[Username1198]

How are these movies making a billion dollars? But we can't get a godamn dredd sequel.

I've seen the first transformers and it was so bad I never bothered to really watch the rest.

Edit: 3 hours long??????

 

[Lionel Richie]

Can this beat The Mummy for worst reviewed film of the summer??? Stay tuned!

All eyez on that.

 

[Daffy Duck]

It will still do a billion dollars at the worldwide box office.

It's not three hours long.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

before anyone says china don't care



apparently the presales in china are surprisingly soft. like really soft.


china DO care!

Relative to prior films, still going to make bank there though.

...and it's 3 hours looooong

Fake news. It's like 2:30.

It will still do a billion dollars at the worldwide box office.

It's not three hours long.

Ehhhh, not so sure it will. Probably $800s or $900s.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Film is 150 mins, btw.

 

[Kusagari]

Next Transformers needs to add Vin Diesal.

 

[kuYuri]

$4 tickets for T-Mobile customers too. 😂

 

[Averon]

If the synopsis I've read online is true, then these scores are well deserved. I was "WTFing" as I read that synopsis.

 

[Kaban]

My work is giving us a free screening of this tomorrow morning. Will probably need booze.

One Billion Dollars

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I'm always sad whenever the reviews for a new Transformers movie hit. Not because I'm disappointed in the reviews themselves. And not for the fact that there's another shitty Transformers movie in theaters that I have no interest in seeing, goodness no. But I'm always saddened over the fact that I'll never read anything as legendary as Roger Ebert's 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' review ever again.

 

[Busty]

Film is 150 mins, btw.

Not a word of a lie if this film was 90 minutes long I'd go and see it in a heartbeat.

But it isn't.

 

[Username1198]

One Billion Dollars

 

[Real Hero]

Everyone I've ever met who has liked these films have been terrible people

 

[RangerX]

It's a transformers film directed by Michael Bay. What are people expecting?

God I love the opening paragraph

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.

Ebert truly elevated movie reviewing to art.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Yet watch that money roll in. Fuck this franchise.

 

[Real Hero]

It's a transformers film directed by Michael Bay. What are people expecting?

a bad film?

 

[BoogieWoogie]

There will never be a good live action Transformers movie. It's not possible.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I don't get the hate for Transformers, are people who shit on it expecting Citizen Kane or something?

 

[witness]

I made it 20 minutes into 4 twice before having to turn it off......and this is supposed to be worse!?

 

[Toa TAK]

Can this beat The Mummy for worst reviewed film of the summer??? Stay tuned!

I bet (something) that it won't.

In fact. I'm willing to bet that The Mummy will be a worse movie than Transformers: The Last Knight in every. single. category.

It'll make more money. More people will enjoy it. And it'll likely spark a bigger conversation around it where more people are enjoying themselves instead of being perplexed at the stupidity of the executives and throwing their arms up, which is par the course and part of the fun of a Transformers film 4 movies in.

The Mummy can stay buried as the lowest film of the summer.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Can't wait for Mark Kermode to rip this to shreds on Friday.

 

[Messofanego]

I'm seeing this, nothing will stop me from enjoying some Bay-ism.

And racism!

 

[kevin1025]

I will not see this movie in theatres. I will not see this movie in theatres.

Ooo, a 10-ticket summer deal! So much savings! What movies will I see?

...I will not... no, I mustn't. I shan't. I couldn't.

...I might see this movie in theatres.

 

[Caode]

I can't wait for Kermode's rant on Friday.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Whatever, still going to see it at 8pm tonight. I suppose at this point its mainly out of nostalgic obligation.

 

[ZeoVGM]

I don't get the hate for Transformers, are people who shit on it expecting Citizen Kane or something?

Because they're terrible movies.

The "were people expecting Citizen Kane" thing is such a lazy retort. No one expects Citizen Kane from Marvel movies but they're usually good movies.

No one expects even just good movies from the Transformers movies.

 

[The Elite]

I don't get the hate for Transformers, are people who shit on it expecting Citizen Kane or something?

Yes, I do expect Unicron.

 

[Ray Down]

Whatever, still going to see it at 8pm tonight. I suppose at this point its mainly out of nostalgic obligation.

Your part of the problem.
