Transformers: The Last Knight

Transformers: The Last Knight

THE LATEST film in the long-running Transformers franchise, this time, in the absence of Optimus Prime, humans are at war with the Transformers. It is up to Cade Yeager, Bumblebee, an astronomer, and an Oxford University professor to save the world. Directed by Michael Bay, the film stars Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel, and Laura Haddock. The critics on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a measly 17%, with the Critics Consensus calling the film “Cacophonous, thinly plotted, and boasting state-of-the-art special effects, The Last Knight is pretty much what you’d expect from the fifth installment of the Transformers franchise.”
