Review of Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) by Dontbenasty — 20 Jun 2017

EDIT(after seeing people writing about this): I will never understand the sentiment of not needing good characters or a good plot. Without those how am I supposed to feel anything about whats happening in a movie? Even basic archetypes can work if well executed(like ID4 and star wars).

A good, compeling plot and a good character you can care about are not necessarily oscar worthy masterpieces as long as passion and love for the project is involved. These can tie a movie together. Bay does not seem to care about these at all.

Just make the next one and be done with it. Just throw in racist and sexist jokes, some pretentious attempt at diversity(im neither SJW or a feminist), and american army and thats it. All done by the numbers.

The movies are not even about transformers! The girl you see in the trailer rivals the boy on the phantom menace. Its there by chance and does nothing. The movie is full of unfunny, juvenile jokes, like that one friend you have that just keeps making fun about anything and saying unfunny jokes.

TF5 is just a compilation of CGI demo reels, shameless product placement, and america military pornography.
