I just came back from seeing Transformers 5, and I am surprised. I am surprised that Michael Bay somehow managed to make a film significantly worse than Transformers 4:Age of Extinction. I don't even know how to begin. This is by far the worst movie I've seen all year. Honestly, years! I guess I should explain the "plot" of this "movie". I won't give away too much spoilers(just in case you actually wanna see this trash).
So the movie begins in ancient times and some wizard has a staff that has great power. What power? No idea. They don't tell you in the movie. Turns out Transformers have been around since the medieval times, even though Optimus Prime said in Transformers it was their first time there, but whatever. It's just a major continuity error that affects the entire movie. So, anyways, this staff can only be wielded by descendants of this wizard (even though Transformers held it like nothing, but I'm just nitpicking). Then it cuts to present time where some kids break into a military place and Mark Wahlberg is there and he finds some old Transformer who gives him some stone or something. He tells him he's the one or something. Then this stone like turns into like a worm and wraps around his arm and now he has like powers. He has healing abilities like wolverine for some reason, who even knows why. He finds some teenage girl named Isabella and then he brings her along with him because she wants to come and Mark Wahlberg was just like, "whatever I guess." Then Megatron is alive and he wants the staff and the military wants the staff. How they know about the staff, I don't know, they don't explain it. Why they want it, who the heck knows. So the military decides to work with Megatron of all transformers to get this staff. Then it cuts to Optimus in space who gets turned evil by some robot princess in space who can make transformers evil and stuff. Optimus gets turned evil then it cuts to some old man played by Anthony Hopkins. He's at a museum stalking some really hot girl who he believes is the last remaining descendant of the wizard. Why? Because she's smart and was talking about the wizard, which automatically means she must have a connection. So the military and deceptions finds Mark Wahlberg and the auto bots and they want to kill them for some reason. Then the old man senses that Mark Wahlberg is in danger so he sends a Transformer butler to save Marks character and the girl Isabella. Oh my lord, this movie is so dumb. Any who, he then sends some Autobot we've never seen before to kidnap that really hot girl from the museum. Then the following scene, Marks character and the hot girl meet the old man played by Anthony Hopkins. He then proceeds to tell them 20 minutes of exposition so we, as the audience, can remember that a plot actually exists in this movie. He tells ancient stories and he tells the hot girl that she is the only one who can wield the staff from the wizard as the wizard is her ancestor. She doesn't question it and just accepts it. As for Mark Wahlberg, he's just there to help the hot girl get the staff since he apparently is the last knight which actually means absolutely nothing, even though that is part of the title. So the military is looking hard to find out where this staff is and it turns out there's (get this)a book in a public library that tells them where the staff is, so the military tracked down Mark Wahlberg and then they found him at the hot girls apartment where one of the worst scenes I've ever seen in my life takes place. Mark and the hot girl are dropping stuff everywhere, making tons of noise, and saying random stuff that sounds disgusting and some ladies think Marks character and the hot girl are doing you know what, so Mark and the hot girl leave on Bumblebee and the military chases them and Bumblebee starts shooting everywhere. In Age of Extinction, the auto bots were hiding because they were afraid the military would find them but In The Last Knight, Bumblebee is a brainless auto bot, so he starts shooting everywhere. Anywho so they go into a submarine or something to get the staff because the staff is underwater for some reason. They find it and the military shows up and there are some guardian transformers who protect the staff. Then evil Optimus Prime shows up and takes the staff even though he isn't a descendant of the wizard, but whatever. That does not matter. Then him and Bumblebee fight for literally a minute. Yeah, all the fighting you saw in the trailer. That is literally the entire fight. If you wanted to see that fight, well, um, you already saw it Then Bumblebee speaks out of his real voice and tells Optimus he's his friend. Wait what the heck. Wasn't Bumblebee's voice destroyed? Well I guess not. Then Megatron shows up and then he takes the staff and uses its power and a bunch of stuff from the sky starts coming down to earth and the Autobots have to stop him. Overall, the plot is horrible. If that isn't enough to make you wanna back off from this movie, then, trust me, there's much worse. Next is the aspect ratio. It is so bad. It goes from a normal digital camera to an I max every ten minutes. This movie has by far the worst performance Mark Wahlberg has ever given. The movie is clustered with filler garbage that could easily be removed. A lot of characters, especially Isabella, have no purpose. They could be removed from the entire movie, and it wouldn't make a difference. Honestly, even the action and cgi wasn't amazing.
