Cybertron healing itself will lead to millions of deaths on earth. I know that Cybertron is on a collision course with earth in order to heal itself. Perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I am not lying when I tell you had trouble discerning anything about the story. Not even an astrophysicist could understand even a third of what's going on here, much less decipher any meaning or purpose. The Last Knight, on the other hand, is the same type of overwrought, overstuffed and bloated nonsense that you've seen for eleven years now. Seriously though, xXx: Return of Xander Cage was definitely silly, but it was fun, for the most part. Secondly, I liked the cast and the characters ended up growing on you. You know what the goal is for Vin Diesel and his team at all times. Firstly, at the very least, while there are flaws with its narrative, xXx is fairly cohesive from beginning to end. I know how it's gonna look, giving this film the score I did when I gave xXx: The Return of Xander Cage a positive rating and review. This brings us to The Last Knight which is, hopefully, the last time Michael Bay will ever make us suffer through one of these again. And, as much of an improvement Age of Extinction was over, it was still a bad movie. I knew that much was not gonna change as long as Michael Bay was still leading the franchise. But I suppose the fact that it was a 'new' start with a new cast of (human) characters and it wasn't so tied to the original trilogy. Honestly, I don't know why I came back to the franchise with Age of Extinction. Though, if I am honest, it's not like you'll be able to make much sense of this even if you DO follow this franchise's narrative closely. What would be the point? Enough time has passed between when I saw Revenge of the Fallen (almost TEN years ago) that Dark of the Moon, as a continuation, would make absolutely no sense to me.

I haven't gone back to watch that movie and I likely never will. It was so bad that I decided to give myself a break and completely skip the the third installment, Dark of the Moon, entirely.
If it wasn't for that, I'd have gladly gone half a star, that's how bad Revenge of the Fallen is.
It got one star one RT because the special effects were still excellent. Revenge of the Fallen, in my opinion, has been one of the worst movies I've ever seen in an actual movie theater. 2009 marked the release of the second film in the franchise, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But, yes, for all intents and purposes, I enjoyed the original movie at the time. With that said and, now, four sequels later (three of which I've seen), I don't know if I could go back and say that the original was a good movie, if I were to watch it again.
So, in a way, you could say it stood out and, again, at the time, it was an entertaining movie. Summer blockbusters have always been about casual, popcorn entertainment, but I do think that there weren't many movies, at the time, like the original Transformers. But that was still before we were bombarded, figuratively and literally, by these movies. I'll be honest, I thought the first movie (at the time) was solid popcorn entertainment. It should be obvious, to the one person who probably follows my reviews on RottenTomatoes (since I haven't reviewed a film in this franchise on Letterboxd yet), that I've never been a big fan of the Transformers franchise.
