Transformers: The Last Knight Reviews - 10 Early Reactions You Need To Know

1. It's Everything Fans Will Expect From The Franchise

"If you are playing Transformers Bingo, you can tick of military porn, tin-eared exposition, Josh Duhamel as Colonel Thingamy, one dimensional characters, painful banter (there are dialogue exchanges in Yeager’s junkyard that are given the screen time and respect of Dorothy Parker’s roundtable), John Turturro as Agent Whatsisname, sunsets, slow-mo every other shot and a bombastic score." - Empire

"We’re talking about the same steroidal infantilism as the previous four films, the same epic of tinnitus-inducing pointlessness that audiences have come to love or hate or sullenly wait to be over." - The Guardian

"If you’re here for the director’s trademark chaos editing (where fights go from points A to D to Q), toxic masculinity (and female objectification), comedy scenes rendered tragic (and vice versa), and general full-volume confusion, you’ll get all those things in abundance." - The Wrap

Above all else, The Last Knight delivers everything fans of the franchise should expect at this point: explosions, CGI in almost every frame, slow-motion, attractive lead actors, excellent supporting actors slumming it for easy money, awful writing, epic speeches from Optimus Prime, and an open ending which sorta-sets up the next movie.

If you're good with most of those things, and if you enjoyed the last four films, then this'll go down just the treat. Conversely, if you hated what came before, you'll hate this one too. At least Bay's consistent, right?
