Every Michael Bay Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

12. Transformers: The Last Knight

And here's another!

Transformers: The Last Knight is another copy/paste Transformers movie that does little to rectify the many, many problems that have plagued the series for several movies.

Bay's trademark female objectification is present and correct, the action is pure visual noise and the editing is chaotic; amazingly, The Last Knight manages to feel even messier that its predecessors, with the story - which was devised by a writer's room - being the primary culprit.

You can feel the input each writer had on the movie - one guy yelled "I want Nazis!" and got his wish, while another screamed "I want Merlin!" and his colleagues agreed - and the result is akin to a small child being handed a sheet of paper, some crayons, and being told to draw Mona Lisa.

An absolute sh*tstorm.

You can at least sense the ambition behind it all but the movie just doesn't gel together, and besides a handful of entertaining action sequences, there's no reason to spend your hard-earned cash on Knight, when slapping on any of the previous movies at home would have the same mind-numbing, brain-cell-destroying effect.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
