“Transformers: The Last Knight” (*1/2 out of four) was a leaden fifth entry in the now-exhausting series about (yawn) the continuing battle between robots and humans, and how Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) finds out he is the title descendant who can negotiate a truce in battle. Packed with the series’ usual visual effects and noise but it’s all boring, since you’ve seen it all before (and better) in previous entries. Fittingly enough- this feels spit-out and made by robots. And it goes on forever! Only Megan Fox could have possibly saved this junk but Anthony Hopkins adds some style as an astronomer and historian who knows of the Transformers’ history on Earth. What a waste of time and money!
