Review of Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) by Mavrinac D — 21 Oct 2017

I understand that it's cool to hate "Transformers", but this is downright incomprehensible.

Just to give you an idea; we get twenty minutes and THREE major action set pieces in before any of the characters actually give us their names. The film opens with an epic battle sequence that is paced and structured so poorly that we intercut between the battle and a character that we just met giving a lengthy monologue that we do not understand, because he is neither the lead, nor even remotely relevant to the film's central conflict.

We aren't INTRODUCED to any of the characters properly until nearly a half-hour into the movie.

The only positive that I feel comfortable giving to this film is the wonderful performance by the young and talented Isabela Moner. She is doing work that is far better than the film she's in. I sincerely hope that she goes far; she has genuine talent.

I could talk for hours about all of the myriad of ways that this is an example of soulless, incompetent corporate business disguised as a movie.
