As EWs Leah Greenblatt wrote in herC+ review, Monster metal, mass destruction, Anthony Hopkins saying dude.

(Which, to be fair, does cover about 80 percent of the script.)

Thats just what you do when things go boom.

But I can say with absolute certainty that after watching, your headwillhurt.

If thats from newly killed brain cells, well, we still have to wait for the lab results.

But whatTransformers: The Last Knightdoes prove is nothing matters anymore.

I saw this movie.

You will see this movie.

Everyone will see this movie.

And we will all be dumber together.

Everyone has one-liners ready to go, though alotof them are cringeworthy.

(In a triumphant moment, Bumblebee punctuates a punch by shouting, Sting like a bee!)

Others with more affection for the franchise havesuggested it worked really well for them.

So, sure: If you like the Transformers, you might like this a lot.

If youre mostly indifferent, its not going to change your mind.

But I also had a hard time hating it.

I maintain that it cannot be done.

Either this movie is dumb or I am.

That is thanks largely to two words: Anthony Hopkins.
