Review of Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) by Alphonsine B — 16 Jul 2017

It is a fun, well paced movie that does exactly what it's meant to; entertain the audience with epic one liners, well scripted comic relief, (mostly) well positioned exposition, and enough of a plot to make it seem like you're watching something important.

Although the plot is a bit weak, just like porn, you don't watch a transformers movie for the plot, and The Last Knight makes up for its thin plot with extraordinary set pieces. Fantastic throwbacks to what I consider the trilogy of Transformers films preceding The Age of Extinction, in the form of bringing back characters, locations and off hand comments referencing the events of that 'trilogy'.

Overall does exactly what it should, however, the plot (although strong enough to make do) could do with some improvement. I would give it 4 stars but I need to make up for all the unfair reviews so I'm giving it 5.
