23rd June 2017 – Transformers – The Last Knight, a short review

Last night was the release of Transformers the Last Knight. Written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway and directed by Michael Bay. This film covers a war between Humans and Transformers, Optimus is gone and the key to saving the future is buried in the past.

This outing sees the return of Mark Whalberg as Cade and includes many new characters and lots of new transformers. At two and a half hours its a long one but its full of allsorts and is a typical Bay film.

I enjoyed it although it was a little bit of a slow buildup. There was also parts that just looked a bit strange, when some of the Decepticons were introduced there was flashy text on the screen which just looked childish to me. I honestly think if they made it more darker and less child like these films would be so much better.

Seems strange when you go from film to film and there are suddenly new plot devices buried on our planet and nothing has been seen up until now….. Like Megatron who was trying in Fallen to destroy the planet with a massive energy collecting machine, all the while Unicron is sat under the crust chilling…… when Cybertron was being pulled through the portal where was Quintessa…. must have been off having a cuppa!

Despite all that its a really good film and worth a watch.
