Transformers: The Last Knight review thread

I posted this in the spoiler thread. But has Megatron killed anybody in any of the films ( I only watched the first 3 ) humans, Autobots or Decipticons?

edit: He tore jazz in half.

Optimus has killed Megatron repeatedly lol, fucker still comes back ( don't know if survives the 5th film )

Seriously Optimus is the film series true villain, HE KILLED FRASIER!


Optimus only killed Megatron once in the third movie, or I guess zero times if you count the novelization (haven't seen 5, so I don't know if he does again). Sam kills him in the first movie and he survives at the end of the second. Galvatron survives in the fourth.

You have no idea. Like nothing you can come up with will prepare you for the level of stupid and blatant disregard for all the history they had before.

A taste:
Bumblebee and all the autobots have been on earth since Arthur's time (so ignore the first movie totally). Bumblebee fought in world war 2 for the allied forces as part of an elite transformers crew who helped kill Hitler.

And it gets worse from there.

I would be outraged, but virtually every sequel ignores the previous film's mythology in favor of its own bullshit, so I'm not surprised.
Pretty much each new sequel either contradicts or makes little sense in context of the previous movies and they keep retconning or complicating their history in a bad way.

That is just lazy though
 
I'm a horrible human being who enjoys reading negative movie reviews, and enjoy seeing how long it takes for me to metaphorically throw my hands up and call it a day. This time, it's out of the 5th review I read:
The sprawling action includes a flashback depicting the Transformers battling Nazis and an explosive battle at Stonehenge that keeps you on the edge of your seat with concern for the ancient stones.

The critic for that paper is a moran.

Who the hell are Nerdist? Bay's nephew's site or something?

Maybe duckroll writes for them.

This shit is uncalled for. Michael Bay is a respected and acclaimed director who constantly pushes himself to new limits. That makes his bold visionary choices divisive and challenging for critics and audiences alike. No need to demonize people who don't go with the flow. #SupportBayFilms

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
Bay could make bank and get the fans back if he just fucking followed the TF:prime storyline especially if it deals with
cron...Prime even makes him totally believable

You have reminded me that I will need to read Armond White's review when it is posted. We always get great stuff out of him for Transformers. Can't wait to learn what current events Bay captures the zietgeist of.

It's probably the worst one and just as incomprehensible as Revenge of the Fallen. Also: Not that much action, weirdly - until the last third. The first 1 1/2 hours consist of the most terrible, convoluted, badly edited, played and scripted shite I have seen in quite some time. It's on the level of a clip show, seriously. Just, people CONSTANTLY screaming meaningless oneliners at each other with the movie cutting to the next scene the VERY SECOND the last word has been said only for someone else to IMMEDIATELY start screaming again. It's so, so, so fucking bad. One second Mark Wahlberg stands in one place, screaming, the next frame he walks somewhere else, screaming, with no explanation whatsoever what happened in between frames. This happens constantly. It's fucking incomprehensible. I have NO idea what happened in this movie. THere's Merlin and Nazis and an evil task force that is also good and Wahlberg who is also a legendary knight or some shit and some old character in cuba has 3 scenes and everybody is constantly shouting and the camera keeps spinning and no two scenes have any real relation to each other, stuff just happens and at one point I'm pretty sure the Robo-T-Rex just randomly jumps up out of the earth, breaking through the street with no one acknowledging that? And Bumblebee is invincible now? Man, I don't know. The last action scene is really cool. You should watch that on Youtube in a few months. Everything else just...makes you tired and mad. Also Optimus Prime is in this movie for about 10 minutes and his whole betrayal arc is the most offensive trailer bait bullshit I have ever seen.

And I even kinda liked Age of Extinction! This is coming from soneone who enjoyed that trainwreck!

Calling it now.

Those are always good yeah, too bad White turned into a crazy alt-right supporting nutjob on Twitter. When trolling goes too far... :(
