Review: I had the choice between different movie at the cinema and I wanted to see the one that would rest my brain the most. Bingo! If I keep on decreasing the rating of each new movie of the franchise, I will soon be out of numbers. I don't know how the franchise can keep on making profits. Apparently it is not thanks to the American market but the international one. Also maybe too many people like me just want some brainless Action, even to regret it just after. The Last Knight (the title doesn't tell you but it's the fifth in the series) has the same weaknesses as the previous movie: Age of Extinction. The story is very weak and feels even more so that it tries to fill two and a half hours of movie. I found Age of Extinction was veguely saved by the prehistoric climax while The Last Knight doesn't even have that. Wahlberg is lost, the character of Duhamel (back from the first three movies) useless, Jon Turturro not funny (what?!?), the teenage girl Izabella petting baby dinobots also useless, Optimus' Prime's deception pointless, and the stakes are a poor mix of the ones in the third movie (Dark of the Moon) and in Independance Day: Resurgence (that one having more impressive special effects). Forget it.
