10 Movie Cliffhangers Nobody Cared About

3. Quintessa Lives - Transformers: The Last Knight

Transformers: The Last Knight may not have been a billion-dollar mega-hit like its predecessor, but it still grossed over $600 million worldwide, meaning that a hell of a lot of people went to see it.

And so, why is it that not a single solitary soul can remember how it ended?

Michael Bay's final Transformers film ended with a few teases for the planned sixth entry, namely Decepticon leader Megatron (Frank Welker) still being at large, and the Cybertronian Sorceress Quintessa having taken the guise of a human woman (Gemma Chan) to continue her quest to destroy Earth.

Audiences simply couldn't be compelled to give a damn, and so following the film's fair box office underperformance, the decision was made to sack off the sixth film and re-jig the series with Bumblebee, which operated as a prequel to the original 2007 Transformers.

With the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts also taking place before the first Bayformers movie, it's safe to say that The Last Knight's cliffhanger received a vocal vote of no confidence from just about everybody.
