It's no secret that the Transformers, the robots in disguise everyone knows and loves, haven't had the best track record in the film industry. Still, it would be a lie to say the franchise is devoid of good, if not great, products. While some Transformers movies don't want to be touched by people with a thousand-yard stick, there are some genuinely entertaining films that are more than worth revisiting.
There is nothing redeemable in Transformers: The Last Knight. It's a confusing mess that suffers from Bay being unable to not shove a million things into one film, resulting in cluttering the plot even more than it already is. Ironically, due to its connection to King Arthur's mythology, Transformers: The Last Knight served as the final sword in the heart of Bay's Transformers series, a fitting ending to an uneven saga.
Although the filmmakers decided to go way harder on the goofy adult comedy this second time around, the film finds its positives where most Transformers films do: the set pieces. If there's anything Bay knows how to do, it's create a grand and epic action sequence. Notably, the fight between Optimus Prime and the group of Decepticons that "kill" him is a great battle. Plus, he also gets a jet wings upgrade for the final fight, and it's awesome.
While far from perfect, Transformers is a great start to a singular franchise with an intriguing mythology. Most Autobots actually feel like genuine characters and not giant action figures, balancing LaBeouf's frantic energy. It's a great film for a night when someone just wants to relax and have fun and not watch anything too mind-consuming. Its visual effects have aged like wine, and its formulaic but entertaining narrative makes it easy to revisit.
