Michael Bay's Transformers films may have never been the greatest, but the entry that began destroying the franchise for good is 2017's Transformers: The Last Knight starring Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci and evil Optimus Prime. This is also the movie where Michael Bay's blockbuster career started to struggle box office wise as he followed up with 2020's 6 Underground for Netflix and no BO details. In a not-so weird way, the flaws that Michael Bay started strongly manifesting in Transformers Age of Extinction have now grown even stronger here, to the point of making The Last Knight a box office flop. And so in today's Anatomy of a Failure, let's look at Michael Bay's main faults as a director and how those faults destroyed The Last Knight. Here's how Michael Bay ruined Transformers, and what hope there is to salvage both him and Transformers 7.

Bumblebee, the greatest Transformers movie🍿🎥ever made.
@LittleRedWolf How do you know about watching Bumblebee, the greatest Transformers movie🍿🎥ever made? Did you saw the greatest Mark Wahlberg movie called Instant Family?
mr filmento please do a episode on death note
For what? Did you saw Crank 2: High Voltage⚡?
Never made sense to me how Autobot’s were being killed, yet Deception’s were only being imprisoned.
The bumblebee movie had better logic: The Decepticons lied that they were the 'good guys' and framed the autobots as fugitives. Even then the humans trusted neither of them and mainly only wanted in on that sweet technology. Even John Cena pointed out that "They're called Decepticons", and this point was actually acknowledge, but made inconsequential to the potential benefits of Decepticon technology, which is at least more solid than "hrr we think autobots are bad, let's hire literal decepticons who have deceived us time and time again to help hunt them without any checks on their power."
Plot armour
@@sergiochavez9902 Made of the strongest metal of all, Plot-hole-tanium
Why not just bring up the obvious plot point from no.3... where Chicago happened as a "lesson" that Decepticons could not be trusted and by getting rid of Autobots who held them in check everyone got screwed... but its ok we all learnt our lesson by the end of 3...
..oh wait.. no we didn't coz 4 happened and now we are at the same problem... but hey at least we learned... oh wait...

The original Witwicky story was abandoned. In Transformers 1, the elder relative, explorer Archibald Witwicky, discovered Megatron and the AllSpark, buried in the Arctic ice. The map to its location, burned into his glasses by Megatron’s navigation system, was a large part of the original plot. The Witwicky’s were tied to the transformers by accident. Fast forward to The Last Knight, the Witwickies are referred to as guardians, who forged and maintained a secret alliance with the Transformers for over a thousand years. No. Just plain NO! Not even close to the storyline.
mr bay thinks his audience has his attention span and memory
As soon as i saw the "historical" transformers images i knew the movie was gonna be awful
These movies plots have always been trash I mean glasses lol
Absolutely
What I always say, Bay and his team should have had a sit in a coffee shop to discuss a storyline for the upcoming films after the success of the first one.
"Explosions happening for no reason" Micheal bay in a nutshell
Transformers : *touch anything
Everything : *Explodes
I guess Micheal Bay secretly has Killer Queen
The Last Knight literally felt like it was written by a bunch of stoned fratboys. One of the cringiest movies I've ever seen.

@@afrotron As long as that keeps happening, he always wins.
Transformers 4 made ONE BILLION!

“My movies give people jobs”
Obviously not jobs for writers
well they have to somehow string together his amazing ideas somehow, or try at least.
He hires writers, they're just not doing anything or they aren't worth a damn.
I can't believe there are people who defend these movies, and Michael Bay.
funnily enough, writers alot infact.
that is one of the problems. mb is famous for saying that he "took a bunch of the best writers an locked em up in a room for a week".
alot of people write these scripts. instead of having one person with a vision and a coherent story to tell. just a bunch of people who just toss ideas.
@@patrioticcat5768 you can have great writers but they will never write good transformers movie without being a fan or knowing nothing besides the movies.
The Bumblebee movie's cybertron scene shows us that you don't need to be funny to make a good scene.That scene is by far the best in all the movies,watching these two factions fight for their survival is honestly entertaining and badass.
The Bumblebee movie was awesome because Bay had nothing to do with it. Whatever he touches he ruins. Case in point, the new garbage "Rise of the Beasts" movie.
@@rawls101Hey, it may be many
things, but it wasn't garbage.
@@rawls101but he didn’t touch that either. It was a lot better than the last knight

@@ertedyrib5001 friend, I've done a lot of great things with my time, now I'm off.
In my opinion, Cogman’s “You were by far the coolest.” Was somewhat wholesome for some reason, I liked it in my opinion.
He's just nitpicking tbh
It does ruin a somber moment, like instead of thinking he's great on our own we get told how "cool" he was.
@@mynamejacob8678 idk I’m a bit torn here cause all movie we see then bantering back and forth so hearing him pay his respects that way fit his character. Now if they were modeled after Batman and Alfred it wouldn’t make sense. But at the same time I don’t mind some good banter I wish they would have been taken more seriously at the same time.
@@mynamejacob8678ook man this would be fine for a movie that is trying to be serious if it's not then this is nothing
Infact it's the most tame
I think the point he was trying to make was that it's not a problem on it's own, it's when its constantly happening that it becomes an issue.
Hard to remember that the Dino bots who were badass and massive warriors and now their just yeah junk yard dogs
I love how Micheal Bay portrays Autobots so violent and chaotic among themselves that I feel that even if they destroy all Decepticons, they would start fighting among themselves about petty things.
i mean if you've been fighting a war for a pretty long time you would be pissed
Between this and Optimus ripping off the fallens face I’m not sure the Autobots are the good guys, I think they’re just slightly less evil decepticons
@@CountJoe1 correct me if im wrong but didn't the fallen kill quite a few us soldiers and instantly stole the matrix when sam plunged it into Optimus
@@snopom I said slightly less evil
@@CountJoe1 yeah you're right about that sorry if i sounded a little aggressive

It was at least an entertaining ad.
@@hopefulmayhem5744 agreed
And it’s still the best movie out of any of them except bumblebee
Very funny...
You know what drives me completely insane about these movies? I have been a transformers fan since childhood, and I love the franchise. However, to the mass public, these movies are apparently all the transformers franchise is, and I absolutely hate that. The more and more I think about it, the more and more these movies infuriate me so much. The more you watch the cartoons, read the comics, or play the video games, the more you realize that those would've made a better film series than what we got. And what really worries me is that is the feeling that these movies turn against the transformers franchise, which they shouldn't! Because, transformers is an amazing franchise, with so much lore and stories that'd be perfect for a live action film series. Just not this! Not this abysmal, wasted opportunity.
Bro wrote a entire paragraf
@@BanMan1263 *paragraph
this franchise also the reason why ironhide wasnt used in any of the other transformer films/ series anymore
The first three movies were decent additions to Transformers that added new lore and concepts. AOE and TLK were mistakes though.
Boomer lol
Gotta say I thought Age of Extinction was actually pretty cool, wasn't perfect by any means but it felt alright to me. Lockdown was one of the best parts imo.
But then you get this and.... oof, what were they thinking.
🤡
@@plushimusprime2926 what?
Transformers 5: The movie where Unicorn...I mean Unicron was teased...it will never pay off
It can't even have a payoff. They showed that Unicron is the Earth. How can you have characters ON THE EARTH fight A TRANSFORMED EARTH. One question that writers couldn't figure out in the entire script writing phase while audiences figured it out in literal seconds.
@@vise_atoxity8083 TF Prime did a good job with the whole "The Earth IS Unicron" plot
@@vise_atoxity8083 I was talking about the show Transformers Prime lol
@@vise_atoxity8083 Uhm, I believe you kind of misunderstood him. He mentioned Transformers PRIME, an animated series, handling the Unicron plot competently. Not the Last Knight.
TFP: Been there, done that.
This movie tells us that bumblebee was battling nazis in WW2. I think we all know the most confusing part about this.
I think Michael bay doesn't know that bumblebee wasn't exist during the WW2
@@lalkiran1950 continuity is shit. That's what bay thinks. He loves bayhem and boobs and butts. I am tired. This franchise needs writers from the cartoon shows.
@@lalkiran1950 yea he would bumble is prolly in his early 20s in Cybertronian years but in Human years he’s prolly a little over a million years old
@@lalkiran1950 typical Hollywood , if they left out that scene it would be a far better movie , I even laughed at the jokes of Cogmann
@@hawk5394 then how the fuck did he just arrive on Earth in his own spin-off? also we are meant to believe that he was fighting nazis then acting like an actual child in Bumblebee 2018
That scene where Megatron politely asks the goverment for his friends is fucking hilarious
Exactly because in tf1 he flicked a human
@@Tanknuggets217 Since then, he finds himself pretty much stranded on Earth like the Autobots. See, in TF1 he just thawed from the ice/holding cell below the Hoover Dam, so his view of the tiny little humans was all new, in RotF, he saw the fall of his mentor at the hands of Optimus while assisted by humans, in DotM a similar thing with Sentinel (while not his mentor, but still a thing), he kinda started to "respect" those tiny little creatures. He might still be hell bent on conquerring Earth or rebuilding Cybertron, or whatever his ultimate goal is, but he might as well find humans as a power to be reconned with. They managed to kill most of the Autobots and imprison his fellow Decepticons on their own towards the 5th movie, so might be a thing to consider, if you're helping "your god" to rebuild Cybertron and need your fellas to aid you, that you'll be asking politely.
18:15 You know, I didn't realize just how little Michael Bay cared for this movie until you showed us that completely unedited clip of that action sequence.
Aspect ratio isn't necessarily a creative thing. It can be, but doing the technical work of maintaining it if you don't care about it is the bare minimum of film editing. That action sequence really hammered it in for me just how little shits Michael Bay gives; absolutely zilch.
I really feel like brainwashed Optimus should have been a much bigger threat than he was, and he should have been brainwashed for longer. Actually add some tension
Or a clone but Purple colour scheme
@@Inquisitor66330 shattered glass optimus
Bay wouldn't know how to build that tension or how to use it if he did.
I feel like the audience is brainwashed Optimus and we are being told to settle for these shitty transformers movies. Dont listen and dont pay they will make it better. Look at bumblebee
@@Merjedmedia THANK YOU someone with reason
I had heard that Michael Bay was basically bribed (because he was done after the third movie) into making the last two entries in the transformers series and him making the last two was his middle finger to paramount
That would explain so much
Im pretty sure it was, I heard that in an interview that he was done after 3 and he wanted to go on and focus on his other projects, but paramount wanted more money
Also, what filmento failed to adress here, is that he thinks everything with The Last Knight is Michael Bay’s fault. When he says all the multiple plot points for example is all just MB shoving everything into the movie. When in fact it was producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura (producer on all TF films and sort of a showrunner) who wanted to cram everything into this one movie. Michael Bay and the writers room wanted to make different movies covering the King Arthur mythos, Bumblebee in WW2 and evil Optimus vs the Quintessions. But Lorenzo rushed him to make everything into this movie. The same could be said for the runtime. It was supposed to be 3hr, and that would make it way more cohesive. But them Paramount freaked out when it got leaked and pushed Bay to make it shorter. So it is a bit like the Justice League version. I just hoped Filmento could have done a bit more research on this, when at least this time not EVERYTHING is Michael Bay’s fault like he says in this vid.
I heard Michael Bay is just shit. The 3rd was horrible too so unless he was preemptively sabotaging them I think the mystery is over lol
Yeah, that's giving Bay way too much credit. Guy's just a self indulgent idiot who can't think more than 2 steps ahead.
keeping in mind, the way they introduce those decepticons, feels like we are supposed to know them from before. In suicide squad, we know each of those villains, so it makes sense for them to each have their special intro.
one of my biggest gripes of the movie is how michael bay tried to “modernize” the transformers design. the original cartoons had bright colors and striking designs made to clearly distinguish between characters and clear cut fight scenes. these movies just make them all grey CG abominations where you can’t even tell which is which in a fight
Thank you
Optimus Prime: “Bumblebee? Your Voice, I have not heard that since Cybertron fell.”
Also Optimus Prime: **Allows Bumblebee to speak in the first movie AFTER Cybertron Fell**
Me: Okay when exactly did Cybertron fall? Because you've been incredibly inconsistent on that.
@@perun6688
What do you mean? He talked in that movie near the end and the Allspark's exile was the fall of Cybertron. It makes perfect sense.
I think its described in the games Fall of Cybertron and War for Cybertron. There are gameplay videos which entirely describe the events. I think Bay should've stocked to that story. Its so deep and the characters are relatable.
@@shanujwilson1204
He shouldn’t be anywhere near those games, those were actually good
@@username-yc3bd yeah, those were. The game experience, even when I was just watching a 4 hour long gameplay was awesome. That script must be simply be put to action. It would make an awesome series or sth, if not crammed into a movie
So glad I stopped watching this franchise after the third Transformers film.
Same bro. 2 and the half hours of CGI and Explosions make me puke from headache
Same. I was the run time on the 4th one and was really put off.
@@benvonerdvana2296 the CGI isnt the problem
Damm your lucky
You're wise doing that
13:08 which is especially wild to me because MB made a whole big deal about how he has a writers room with like 14 writers specifically to keep track of the continuity and lore for the movies.
well he does but doesn't mean he focuses on it. He is aware of how shit it is going to be but either doesn't care or cuts it out for other stuff.
4:40 when I went to go see this with my father we thought we were in the wrong theater and nearly left just before the transformers showed up on screen.
As a family tradition, my father and I saw this film in theaters. We literally left with a headache and I genuinely couldn't remember the plot after having JUST seen it.
Me and my father likes watching movies as one of our bondings, we absolutely favored the transformer series and when these god awful "things" came, we just straight up never talked how terrible it id
Yeah, I like how the first 3 films were somehow watchable but the action gives me headaches because of the designs of the transformers, then they make cleaner looking transformers yet the plot is so fucking dumb that I wanna write these movies myself or just end it with dotm
@@dexktop_430 the design has nothing to do with it it’s the way the camera moves I could watch these movies from 1 to 5 without getting a headache
I think that was the point
Sadly, no disrespect to your father, but he, and you, don’t know anything about good writing. The movies are good.
As a person with really bad ADHD, the term "ADHD given physical form" is unbelievably accurate for this.
Oof
And that's why I love transformers films, I'm aware their crap but their fun and I love them
I have it to, agreed and I deadass couldn’t concentrate in this
Your just being Jumpy and Hyper
Man. Dont put titles on yourself man
@@Ilias24. are you seriously telling someone who you have never met that they don’t have adhd? They’re probably diagnosed
It amazes me how Michael Bay thought this was OK. Optimus is shown in a picture fighting a war in his transformers 3 form (check his stomach). Even though he only arrived on earth in 2007. And he had a different form in that movie.
My favorite part was when Optimus Prime says “It’s prime’in time” before he primed all over Megatron. Truly one of the movies of all time.
Gotta love that prime
As a big Transformers fan, I am saddened that nobody will ever like Transformers now that these movies have been made.
I thought about it, how sad, I used to love the series myself but now not really
@@littlemisseevee2309 I got back into the series in 2018 after Bumblebee came out, which gave me hope that Michael's damage can still be undone. However, many others, like yourself, have turned away, and the recent Netflix show is not enough to bring people back.
@@dkkanofkash8798 yeah but I didnt really fall out of it because of bay, sorry if I implied it, I just kinda lost interest, but when I saw this in my recommended all I could think is “there’s a fifth?”
Oh you know what worse? Hasbro is now literally milking G1 to death and make people go far away from Transformers
the animated series have been pretty fine.

Aot is so miles ahead compared to majority of the Most of hollywood movies
I’m still waiting for the next episode to realease
@@nman551 to be fair AoT manga ending was pretty bad
12:13 this kinda begs the question. Why would a Decepticon rob a bank that stores HUMAN money? I honestly expected an oil rig, a power plant, a water dam, or a missile silo to be a Decepticon's target, because energy and fuel to convert into Energon, which is the lifeblood of ALL Cybertronians, and Decepticons are greedy? A missile silo is practically free real estate since they can stockpile on weapons and payloads. But a goddamn bank...?
Because stupid. 😑
Might be just for fun? Honestly just look at Mohawk, he looks, like he's got a few loose screws in his head, he'd definitely do anything to piss off human authorities, just for the fun of it. Not everything has to have a valid reason.
When I finally watched this movie, all I could think was "wow, this doesn't feel like a coherent sequel at all." I did notice what you pointed out about undoing Galvatron and the upgraded Decepticons. A smaller detail that bothered me was when Megatron found Starscream's head and said something about his "traitorous friend." As any Transformers fan knows, is a common trope in the franchise. But the problem is that was NEVER touched upon in the movies, so the line fails!
"You've failed me yet again, Starscream!" said by non other than Megatron himself in the first movie, after he thaws out and meets Starscream, who assumed leadership over the Decepticons. Also in the second movie: "Starscream! You've let me rot on that human rock!" "Someone had to assume leadership in your absence, my lord" "Remember this, Starscream, there is no other leader, than me!" I may be incorrect with details, I'm pretty aware of that, but similar dialogues happend, it was acknowledged in both of the first movies and it implies, that Megatron was well aware of Starscream's treacherous temperament and held him close (as his 2nd in command) going along with the famous saying: "keep friends close, but enemies even closer".
This movie, and the previous one, are the very worst examples of Hollywood blockbuster movies.
Tied with the startrek reboots.

I don’t think you can blame MB entirely for these flaws. I’m fairly certain that the Transformer Franchise Writers Room consists of 4-6 eight year old boys playing with some actual Transformer toys, with two adults in the room. One to run interference when the inevitable fights break out when one boy decides his Autobot just killed a Decepticon and the other protests No He Didn’t (Yes He Did, No He Didn’t, bwah, bwah , BWAHHH etc) and the other to transcribe everything, verbatim.
Then they just slap a title on it, call it a Shooting Script and ship it to MB.

I think the perfect example of how Michael Bay stopped caring was during a behind the scenes featurette, when a producer said the only reason they brought Barricade back was because "kids liked him."
About half way through production they sent a poll out on TFW (transformers world forums). Basically like the biggest transformers fan site on the interenet, anyway they asked who they should bring back. Everyone agreed barricade because he hadn’t been killed off and his death in Dotm was ambiguous enough to believe he hadn’t died. Well in the film bonus content they literally said they did it for kids and had no mention of him not dying, they just said they brought him back for no reason. Just pure shitting on ACTUAL fans of not only the transformers franchise, but the bay films themselves. Just no effort whatsoever. That’s why everyone hates the last knight. Bayformers fans and regular folks.
That's nothing compared to what happened in 1986.
I almost fell asleep in the theater during this. Should've left, but tried to power through
Great vid. Working under Bay on these movies must have been a nightmare for a lot of people. I have to assume there was a good amount of staff looking for better jobs and a way out at the first opportunity. If the leader doesn't care it's almost impossible for anyone else to.
"No, we want ideas, those are special effects!"

Good thing James Cameron and Ridley Scott knew the difference
Okay but let's be real here for a second;
Optimus Prime riding a mechanical three-headed dragon while wielding a giant sword into battle is one of those things that is ridiculously stupid but also incredibly awesome at the same time
Couldn't agree more. I don't treat this series like another movie. I go purely for the action and the transforming scenes
13:45 I find it funny that he talks about the audience getting pulled out of the experience while at the same time he pulls us out of the video by announcing a sponsorship, he probably did it on purpose though.
I love this channel so much, I binged everything in less than a day!
Michael Bay was all like: "You know something, I just don't give a damn." And proceeds to just throw everything at this movie that turned it into such a convoluted mess.
I hope they make a fresh start with the movies
@EnderGlitch They did. With the Bumblebee movie, it was confirmed a reboot in 2019. The next movie is supposed to be not connected to the first five live-action movies either.

Not only that, but these "try hard to be badass" soldiers of Galvatron die like bitches. But hey, one of them robbed the bank, so cool (at least whoever wrote this try to convince us of this).

Oh my, the Sound Effects on this video made me laugh, specially the ones where South Park's Michael Bay face shows up, it's almost like the mixture of "oof" and "bruh"!
5:00 not going to lie this was actually my favorite scene from the movie😂
Transformers 5 was destroyed alone by it's horrific use of Aspect Ratios.
yeah it got me headache
so glad I'm not the only one who noticed that - I genuinely thought I was watching an unfinished version somehow
I legitimately threw up from the nausea it caused.
Not joking... I was sick because of it.... If i wouldn't watched the film with my 12 years old cousin, i would walked out from the cinema after the first 35 minutes
It took me out of the moment I didn’t have in the first place
Never understood how the Transformers movies were too heavily human involved. Its right there in the name Transformers. In the animated series there where whole arcs that didnt even involve humans. he should have just stuck to the drama and stories involving the Transformers.
I imagine it's a choice related to the action: it's better for a big blockbuster movie to have giant robots fight from the perspective of the humans, to make it seem grander. And also because, if you did that, you'd have to develop them a lot more for the audience to relate, and the producers didn't want to go through the effort of that and just slapped a bunch of generic human characters as the protagonists instead.
In contrast to say Godzilla. The transformers can actually talk. They can show emotion. They actually get all this talent but they just won't let the robots take the lead.
Watching clips for the films, the Transformers can clearly hold the audience attention. We don't need the hot chick or the screaming man boy.
Actually some of the humans Iike Lennox could totally stick around. They are useful and I'd be more intrigued in seeing that group and the transformers interact as equals.
I think it's more that Bay just wouldn't change it up. I think other directors would(and did) in Bumblebee.
A lot of it has to do with cost. All that CGI takes time and money, because it is a live action movie at its core, rather than fully animated. Probably part of the reason why the robots are made up of jagged parts is so that they can cut corners during the fight sequences and not have it be apparent. If I recall correctly, Bay himself stated that one of the reasons product placement is so prevalent is that it allows for more robots and more fight sequences. That product placement aspect applies to organizations as well. Showing Chinese things in a positive light makes the movie more appealing to Chinese investors and no doubt gets some access for locations. Meanwhile, the US military likes movies that show them in a positive light, seeing them as a recruitment tool. And even with that, the film makers still look to cut corners where they can, like in how they used a sequence from The Island and added CGI to it to use in the Transformer franchise.
If the humans weren’t there then it would have lost it’s fast pacing and that is the reason why like these movies
@@Axterix13 that would be a good point if whole movies weren’t made with CGI, and for lower budgets.
Transformers fight scenes: I am amazing
Transformers Plot: how strange, there's nothing here
Transformers in WWII and Transformers in the Medieval Ages sound like cool plots on their own. I think they were suggested movie plots that Bay just decided to smash together because it sounded good.
Michael Bay: Yeah, let's kill that guy Ratchet. Who cares if he helped save the Earth from the Decepticons in the past movies I directed
Also Michael Bay: All Decepticons must be incarcerated and not killed because LOL
because money
Mutha fuckin money
No shit
Bay while making TLK:
Bay: "Ok, I don't want to waste my time on thinking of this plotpoint and that, so just write whatever."
The writers: "But there should be a logical rea-"
Bay: "Dew it."
I was really sad because i liked Ratchet in Transformors Prime
Optimus: *Will stab Bumblebee
Bumblebee: Save... Martha
To demonstrate your point about all the jokes, look at Pirates of the Caribbean. In "At World's End", when they find the dead kraken, there is some goofiness from Pintel and Ragetti, but we cut away from them and have a full, serious conversation between Jack and Barbossa. No interruptions to ruin the mood, just two veteran pirates lamenting the end of a era. A lot of film makers could learn from that.
5:30 was beautifully done. Excellent use of emotion and comedy.
This is so sad. As a keen G1 transformer fan, it makes me so upset to see my favourite characters reduced to nothing and have personalities thinner then paper.
Same here. Optimus with lips and blinking eyes? Starscream, my favorite Deception, was a short, wide little sniveling loser. Devastator? Looked like a bulldog and was taken down by two stupid, joke cracking twins then never existed in G1. Absolutely garbage.
@@kingschwag4208 Starscream was always portrayed as sniveling idiot.
@@kingschwag4208 uh you do know devastator got killed from jets shotting a missile at him right? Mudflao only broke his eye but skid and mudflap ddint kill devastator
@@BanMan1263 Jets? It was a rail gun.
I can’t stand this movies constant aspect ratio changing. One moment it’s an IMAX frame, then the next is 2:00:1 frame, and then is the usual 2:39:1. When movies do that for no reason, it angers me.
I think it was a case of pick up the nearest camera, not bother to look at what type of frames it shoots in and Bay simply yelling "ROLL CAMERA AND ACTION!!!"
@@superomegaprimemk2 I would understand if Bay wanted to have multiple angles for the same take, but it's not even a scene difference. It changes from shot to shot.
Im surprised the editors didnt yeet themselves out of the booth seeing that shit.
For me the bigest thing which killed transformers is how they slowely changed weapons from been part of their body to normal guns and swords.
Mostly to save time animating transformations of their hands.
That’s the only part that’s g1 accurate to me
Man, this movie had so much potential to be great along with the fact that they even introduced arthurian legends into this which is just crazy and amazing as the arthurian legends has some crazy moments especially for king arthur, along with the Iaconian knights that are freaking giants compared to the new generation of cybertronians, quintessa, earth being unicron, and even adds more depth to the cybertronians past along with how they were made and how these creators can be connected to unicron, primus and the one, whom that is the creator-father of the two brothers.
It felt like they skipped a few years to be honest and hadnt fleshed out the timelines better and polished it and with it creating a new can of worms in the lore like the witwicky storyline being gutted because shia labeouf doesnt want to be the star anymore.
Are we not going to talk about how none of whatever even happened in the plot mattered in the end? Optimus just showed up out of nowhere and oneshot the bad guy because no one else could
I guess he had a boost from just being revived by Sam
(Un)Funfact: The US is practically a police state in the film, while Cuba is the land of the free.
And the Autobots hide at the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation. A Native American Reservation located in South Dakota and is the poorest Reservations.
In a series about alien car robots that’s the least realistic thing
The US is practically a police state in real life too
@@Moakmeister You don’t even know what a police state is
But isn't that true lol? Like look at UN, Nato and who is in charge of em all?
The worst part is, it went IN DIRECTION possible.
Not just for the movies, but also for the TV Shows being specifically aimed at smaller children rather than it actually having some balanced age value for the rest of the franchise, and to put the icing on the cake, HAVE YOU SEEN THE TOYS.
By god, did hasbro just BARLEY save themselves with the studio class series toys, then the ACTUAL toys.
Literally look at the prime figure from the last knight, and you will see HUGE differences.
This sucks because it’s just a real Great Depression point for the transformers franchise now.
This literally brings up all of the things that I had thought to myself after watching this.
"Hey Optimus, say hi to your mother for me."
"Some people want to destroy you but I just want to talk"
Oh you're a truck. What's that like?
'Now I'm gonna go and talk with this Megatron over here.'

@@jjizzle6923 You're not into Transformers are you?
i have a theory that galvatron in AoE encountered quintessa somehow and quintessa gave him a new body comparable to that of the knights which can maybe also explain megatron having quintessas mark on his face
Something about how this movie cuts its scenes together just hurt my brain. every scene shifts camera angles so quickly that it made every scene so confusing. maybe makes sense in a big action scene but even in a moment of dialogue there's dozens of unnecessary cuts that are so abrupt it really made the whole movie almost unwatchable.... despite being a life long transformers fan. such a shaame 😥😥😥
While we all know how bad these films can get at times, I think we can all agree on one thing:
The musical score is awesome
Also the cgi and Optimus’s lines are great
"If ADHD had manifested a physical form."
Isn't that just Michael Bay?
Its also JJ Abrams.
@@christopherregan1654 How?
@@Gadget-Walkmen Most of his movies feel like the pace is very fast with not enough time for the characters to have some breathing room.
@@christopherregan1654 that’s just fast paced movies and there’s nothing inherently wrong about that unless if it’s done badly. It could be done in a great way.
@@Gadget-Walkmen The plots for his movies also seem very dumbed-down and convenient, so the characters never actually seem to figure anything out for themselves. Instead, everything is just easy and laid out for them each time.
I like how people can see bad writting of transformers as clear as day but can't see that way of water also has no story at all.
My favorite movies were the original Transformer Trilogy and Bumblebee ( because they were fun ), I enjoyed AOE kind of and I remember it clearly and I loved the new Autobots but I remember my whole family thinking we were seeing the wrong movie with the knight fight at the beginning for TLK.
The writing room must have been filled with "Dude, what if-" moments.
Bumblebee: is a young bot
Also him: has the voice of a British 70 year old
he sounds like a old man and I am like, "He is young for an Autobot why just why." Half the time I think Michal Bay forgot bumblebee was young
They fixed that problem in the Last Knight and Bumblebee

consider these films as a treat for the eye. lots of different set pieces vehicles actors you name it not same cliche overextended conversations. - guy who is target audience
saw spider-man homecoming right after this one in 2017 both films were great
If there’s one thing that I can say that I liked about The Last Knight besides the visual effects and explosive action, it’s gotta be the toyline.
Lol
Well, that means the movie accomplished its main purpose then.
Same.

Why do nearly all of this Transformers movies have dignified actors humiliating themselves in dumb ways? Because it’s never funny.
When have they done that.
@@themaster55863 John Turturro in the first one where Bumblebee pisses on him, in the second one where he wears a thong and says the line”enemy scrotum”. Frances McDormand in the third one, Stanley Tucci in the fourth one and Anthony Hopkins in this one.
@@docvince1491 ok yeah that was pretty stupid
But aside all of that the movies are good though and he deserved to get pissed on by bumblebee
Anthony Hopkins was hilarious in TLK. Why do people take all things so seriously? Cuz sure, why can’t a prestige actor like Hopkins have some fun in a big, dumb transformers movie in his final years? I literally cried laughing at him and Cogman in every scene. They lived it all up and brought so much insanity and energy to it, it is impossible not to laugh unless you’re a sad, angry asshat. Humour is subjective though, but a lot of people agree with me here. Also Turtorro was not so interesting in TF1 but he too got funnier in each movie. All these famous actors and Bay are literally showing their middle finger to everyone throwing shit at them. Because no matter what self entitled critics, or ppl as yourself say, they bring in billions of dollars, I enjoy them tremendously. Why can’t you accept that even if it is not your cup of tea?
@@believer4002 yeah these people can’t see how good the films are
