Synopsis – Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. My Take – In case you all have forgotten, yes, it’s been 10 years since the release of the first film of this blockbuster film franchise, based on the Hasbro toy … Continue reading Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) Review!!!
Patty Jenkins isn’t taking prisoners, y’all. Wonder Woman is already the best-reviewed film in the DCEU and the record-holder for the best opening weekend from a female filmmaker, and today it sets a new benchmark as the highest-grossing live-action film directed by a woman. The film passed the $600 million mark at the worldwide box office on Wednesday, and per Variety, the Gal Gadot-led superhero actioner … Continue reading Wonder Woman Just Broke a Major Box Office Record!!
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) was the hero of the first three Transformers movies. He was a scrappy, nerdy kid who came across the Transformers (or rather, the Transformers came across him because the coordinates of the AllSpark were imprinted on the glasses of his great-great-grandfather, Archibald Witwicky). After the third Transformers movie, Sam left the franchise, and there was with no mention of his life … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Revealed the Fate of Sam Witwicky!!
Paramount has released over 40 new images from Transformers: The Last Knight. In the latest installment, Cade (Mark Wahlberg) discovers that Transformers have been around Earth for centuries, and also Optimus Prime is evil now for some reason.

While … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’: Over 40 New Images Rollout Autobots, Decepticons, and More!! Check It Out!!
With Transformers: The Last Knight on the horizon, audiences are expecting an experience similar to the last four Transformers movies. Lots of explosions, big action, and comedic bits here and there. And while the film aims to expand the Transformers mythology by revealing a new backstory, it’s still a Michael Bay Transformers movie—we have a pretty good handle on what that feels like by now. … Continue reading ‘Bumblebee’ Spinoff Compared to ‘The Iron Giant’; 1985 Setting Confirmed!!!
Disney and Pixar‘s Cars 3 brought in enough to take the top spot at the weekend box office, but most eyes will be turning toward the spectacular third weekend for Warner‘s Wonder Woman in second place and Lionsgate‘s All Eyez On Me, the latter of which definitively over performed versus pre-weekend expectations. Also outperforming expectations was Entertainment Studios‘ 47 Meters Down while Sony‘s Rough Night … Continue reading ‘Cars 3’ Speeds to Weekend #1 while ‘All Eyez On Me’ Opens Well as ‘Wonder Woman’ Tops $570M at the Worldwide BO!!
In February, Michael Bay once again suggested that he doesn’t want to play with Transformers anymore, and though he already started walking that back in April, it looks like he’s not the only one who is getting too old for those robot toys.

When it comes to Michael Bay’s feature film career, nearly 40% of it has been taken up by Transformers movies. Given that each movie takes about two years to complete, that’s a serious chunk of time.

Speaking with Fandango, … Continue reading Michael Bay Says ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Is His Last ‘Transformers’ Movie!!

For some reason that is beyond me, my history teachers have never mentioned the existence of gigantic, sentient, robotic beings that have been at the center of mankind’s greatest military conflicts. Luckily, I no longer have to believe their alternative facts and massive, conspiratorial cover-up, because Michael Bay has unveiled a new video that explores the “Secret History” of Transformers.

By now you should be aware that the latest Transformers movie, The Last Knight, will not only be full of Bayhem, but it will have everything up to and including the kitchen sink.

It’s interesting to consider that two of this coming summer’s biggest titles – Transformers: The Last Knight and The Fate of the Furious – are centered on the conceit of its main protagonist “going rogue,” to slightly paraphrase Dwayne Johnson in the latter film’s recent trailer. It’s telling of the political climate – unable to know allegiances and reasons beyond appearances – but it’s also … Continue reading First ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Clip Reveals Michael Bay’s New Dystopian Future!!!

Last night was the Golden Globes, so the 2017 movie season is now officially underway! Well, okay, there’s an argument to be heard that the season isn’t officially in full stride until the Oscars are over, but that seems inaccurate.

This coming weekend, Eugene … Continue reading Check Out New Images from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2′, ‘Dunkirk’, ‘Alien: Covenant’, and More!!! Check It Out!!

One of the biggest crowd-pleasers in Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction was the arrival of the fan-favorite Dinobots and their leader, Grimlock. But you can’t just introduce a fire-breathing T. rex robot and then let him walk off into the sunset with his Dinobot pals. No, you need to bring him back for Transformers: The Last Knight, which is exactly what Bay, Hasbro, and Paramount … Continue reading Expect More Grimlock, Dinobots in ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’!!
Whatever anyone might say about the substance of Michael Bay‘s films, the man is undeniably an auteur of sorts. His films have a very specific look that has influenced hundreds of filmmakers, especially in the action and science-fiction genres. In some cases, his acolytes seemingly cop his style verbatim but they simply don’t have the bombast that Bay’s movies do. When his movies are good, such … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Featurette CeIebrates IMAX & Michael Bay’s Collaborative History!!! Check It Out!!
As if a story based on giant sentient machine lifeforms who can morph into a variety of Earth-based vehicles and transform in order to engage in unending combat wasn’t insane enough, it seems that the writers of Transformers: The Last Knight have decided to include two more genre favorites: Nazis and dinosaurs.

It appears the subtitle for Transformers: The Last Knight is quite literal. Rumors have swirled recently that director Michael Bay’s fifth Transformers film might be dealing with Arthurian legend, and now it appears we have proof.

With each new Transformers film from Michael Bay, Hasbro, and Paramount Pictures, the title bots tend to get new designs.

So now that Transformers: The … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’: Bumblebee, Autobots Get Redesigns for Michael Bay’s Latest!!
The long-lead marketing campaign for Transformers: The Last Knight continues, as the first poster banner for the fifth Transformers movie has been released online.

Boy, that Steven Spielberg is one busy fella. Last year, the man behind Jaws had a healthy Oscar-friendly year with the hugely undervalued Bridge of Spies, easily one of his best films of this century alongside Lincoln, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and Minority Report. He also produced Jurassic World and All the Way last year, along with a variety of TV shows ranging from The Whispers and Extant to Falling Skies and Public Morals. And this is ignoring the slew of projects that he has … Continue reading Steven Spielberg, Amblin Developing Alien Invasion Thriller ‘The Fall’!!
While it’s yet to be confirmed that Ken Watanabe will return for Michael Bay’s Transformers: The Last Knight, we now know that his Autobot character Drift will definitely be back in style. In fact, it’ll be a different style altogether than the one he sported in Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction. In that picture, the samurai-styled transforming robot appeared as a black-and-blue Bugatti Veyron; not only has his color scheme been traded … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’: Drift Returns in a New Tricked-Out Ride!!
Last month, we reported that Josh Duhamel, who played William Lennox in the first three Transformers movies, would reprise his role for Transformers: The Last Knight. This led to his Transformers co-star, Tyrese Gibson, posting on Instagram that he also wanted back in on the giant robot smashing fun. According to ET, it looks like Gibson has gotten his wish. ET caught up with the actor at the BET Awards and said, “Let’s just say 2017, … Continue reading Tyrese Gibson Joins ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’!!
Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise has certainly had some colorful characters over the years, though not all of them have been well received by moviegoing audiences. Classic characters like Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee have been remarkably successful while clunkers like Mudflap and Skids are better off forgotten. So it’s to Transformers: The Last Knight that we turn our cautiously optimistic eye to see which Autobots and Decepticons Bay will rollout … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Introduces an Unlikely Hero!!

Recently, Michael Bay revealed the villain of the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight and his new look, and we learned that none other than Sir Anthony Hopkins, lord forgive him, is joining the Transformers universe (a phrase I still have trouble wanting to acknowledge, but I don’t begrudge him the cash he’s about to make). The franchise will also feature none other than Britain’s Loneliest Dog, so things are honestly just getting stranger by the day. … Continue reading ‘Transformers’: Michael Bay Reveals Bumblebee’s New Look for ‘The Last Knight’!!
Will wonders never cease? Sir Anthony Hopkins is now the latest addition to the multi-billion-dollar Transformers franchise. Yes, a bona-fide Oscar-winning actor will now star alongside the likes of Optimus Prime, Megatron, and company. There’s little information available as to who he’ll be playing or which side of the fight he’ll be on; we don’t even know if he’ll be voicing a robot in disguise or playing … Continue reading Anthony Hopkins Is Joining the Transformers Universe!!
It’s hard to ignore the things Bay gets right. When the guy is at his imaginative best, his set pieces are thrilling, furious with action and digital precision that is dazzling, even caked in his need for empty, sentimentalized heroics and a love for the military that ignores the institution’s rather brazen, um, issues. Indeed, the further Bay is from sappy, right-wing politics, the better, … Continue reading Michael Bay Reveals ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Villain!!
It appears that the marketing for the new Transformers movie is up and running, even though the film’s release is still over a year away. Last week, Paramount Pictures unveiled the official title for Transformers 5, dubbed Transformers: The Last Knight, and that news was quickly followed by word that Josh Duhamel would be returning to the series after sitting the last installment, Age of Extinction, out. Now, just days after director Michael Bay got production underway in … Continue reading ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Viral Teaser Has a Message for You!!
