Does it have Prime saying
"Kill all humans!"
"Kill all humans!"
Transformers: The Last Knight
- Thread starter the shadow
- Start date
I just finished watching this film, it is a bit like watching an Amiga demo from the 1990s in so much that it gives your system a great work-out, looks nice, sounds nice but ultimately, it is totally empty and devoid of any script, story and is just a set of scenes woven together at random points.
At the end, there was no closure for me, no emotion, no meaning. Just a aberration against all fans of transformers, just like when they presented one of the greatest transformers of all time (Jetfire) as a burnt-out wreck. But its ok, I got over that emotional trauma Micheal Bay, after years of therapy and so I expected that for this final movie that you and your team would get it right.
I mean, it is not like you can produce 5 films, burn through a billion dollars of production money and the legacy you leave behind looks like scorched earth. right? RIGHT ?!
There were flickers, I swear for maybe a single frame or two, buried in this movie where I thought, they are trying here. I mean, for a start, the whole Unicron, Hot-rod, Galvatron arc is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest story arc in the whole of the transformers universe. It would beggar belief therefore if this story arc was not driven through from start to its ultimate conclusion (the death of both megatron, optimus prime and the birth of rodimus prime/Galvatron).
It started off just fine and when Unicron rocked up and Megatron chose his posse, I thought to myself 'this could be on'. And yet, we had to wait for what felt like an absolute eternity for Hot-Rod to make his entrance. Once it became clear that this film was more broken than anything that had gone before it, two and a half hours later I am pondering how the hell this final opportunity for Bay could be screwed up in such a huge and disgraceful way that I am simply gobsmacked.
The list of problems is simply to big to rattle through here, I will just leave this thought. Why go to all the trouble of introducing Unicron, Hot-rod, Prime and Megatron if the story is not going to be executed? You might as well have just created a set of random scenes and then just used Unicron at the end as something to kill without all of the emotional heft you would have gained by illustrating the torch being handed from one generation to the next.
But Wait! that is what you did do. You utterly useless, money grabbing, producers of flash, flash, bang, bang. You had my £10 off me, well done. I hate you Bay. Go and do something constructive like a new Bad Boys movie. Please for the love of sweet baby Jesus do not go anywhere near a Transformers production ever again.
The biggest rogue of all is Steven Spielberg, he should have taken this dog out the back and shot it after the first Transformers film was done. Now we are in a situation where the whole Transformers brand is tainted and it is going to take decades for anyone to go near it again.
