yo as someone who was never very familiar with the transformers universe at large, taking a trip down that wiki is RIDICULOUS. Multiverse transformer gods that are responsible for all creation and shit. God damn.

back in my day mother fuckers were just car robots

That stuff is what makes Transformers fun!

Look up Alternity.

So I looked up wtf this is because I have no idea about anything Transformers and two things:

1. What the fuck?
2. Someone had a lot of fun with the picture descriptions on the Transformers wiki.
The Transformers wiki is one of the greatest things to come out of the whole internet thing. I could waste 100s of work hours reading the picture descriptions.

The way that the Transformers multiverse works is so complicated and full of so much dimension hopping that it's basically impossible to understand without the wiki. The fact that everything is canon is the real kicker.

Optimus Prime as a potato head, Go-Bots, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Spider-Man, etc. are all canon in Transformers, and there's no varying degrees of canon. Of course this means we also have to put up with Kiss Players.

I only watched the first 3 films, has Megatron actually killed any humans or bots or cons? Seriously Optimus prime is more evil than he is.

what fucking garbage

In 3 a lot of humas get killed on screen, but i can only recall megatron directly killing Jazz.
 
Megatron rips Jazz in half in part one.

My favorite dumb ass thing so far in revisiting these movies is Transformers Heaven in part two and how it can bring a human back to life because reasons.

I just hate the movie because they make the bots look like a walking strap yard then put a arbitrary name on it.
The only exception is BB.

Megatron killed Jazz and some human guy who he flicked away in TF1.

He killed Sam in TF2 but he came back. edit: Forgot that he killed Prime because it didn't matter

He sat out on the sidelines in TF3.

He sort of sat out in the second half of TF4 but unleashed all those drones in Hong Kong.

Megatron doesn't like to get his hands dirty~

I remember he cried like a bitch for Starscream to pick him up after this:

Soooo is this movie Transformers 4 bad (long and boring), Transformers 3 bad (mediocre film that's still serviceable as a guilty pleasure), or Transformers 2 bad (offensive in every way)?
 
So let me try to be positive, what works in this movie.

Well there is a few funny gags, the butler robot for one is a cool character.

Anthony Hopkins speaking. Not what he says cause it's all nonsesne but just his voice, so great and commanding. And they make him do a few funny things.

The first 30 minutes, not terrible, some cool shit (basically robot gekko metal gears).

A few cool action moments.

And that's about it.

It seems like they shouldn't have smushed the two different plots together. TF5 should've been the post apocalyptic Transformer hunting stuff with 6 being the Quintessa/Nemesis Prime plot.
 
Can someone just give me the full spoilers for this film. Have no interest but if it's so terrible it's good then I might end up watching it.
 
I can't with that review thread.

People unironically asking "what do you expect, Citizen Kane."

That's the most over used bullshit apology for dumb movies ever. Nothing comes close.

"That was terrible, here's a bunch of reasons why and why it didn't need to be so stupid"

"Well what were you expecting, Citizen Kane? it's a movie called TRANSFORMERS"

"No but there's a movie called ALIENS where a bunch of marines shoot aliens called xenomorphs and it's incredibly well written acted paced scored and is full of memorable characters and action sequences so fuck you and good day"

Ha, ha, this is perfect, lol.

Transformers movies should be fun, done well and coherent to go with it's action, not horrible like most of these movies.

I always wanted to make a thread with the idea of discussing if there's any character that's as bloodthirsty a "hero" as Optimus because man he's just horrifying in these movies.
 
There's still time to leave

I'm serious when I say do not watch this movie people

Watching bad movies doesn't really bother me and I like to make up my own mind. I probably won't like it but people have different opinions about things. Even if I don't like it and it's terrible at the very least I can tear into it.

That's not even the worst bits of the film....this on the other hand....


While this has all been going on Optimus Prime has been floating through space, broadcasting the message to his creators that we heard at the end of AOE. He crashlands of Cybertron and is woken up.
Apparently suffering severe amnesia/stupidity, Optimus is shocked at the state of Cybertron, never once remembering he made it fricking implode in DOTM.
 
This is getting the best RT blurbs in the history of RT.

"Transformers: The Last Knight comes in at 149 minutes, and each of those minutes lasts as long as the reign of Charlemagne"

"Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop."

"Transformers: The Last Knight is like staring at a projected kaleidoscope for two and a half hours and then trying to tell someone about the plot."

"Anyone capable of explaining the near-incomprehensible storyline deserves a prize of some sort."

"Though everything about this movie is ridiculous, Bay still -- still! -- seems to believe it would be far-fetched to treat female characters like human beings worthy of basic respect."

"A motion picture that clearly wants to hurt us."
