\"\"There’s only one film in the new releases this week, but its a doozy!<\/p>\n

\"\"1. Transformers: The Last Knight (Opened Wednesday, Paramount, 4,069 Theaters, 149 Minutes,\u00a0Rated PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of sci-fi action, language, and some innuendo, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: 15% Fresh <\/a>[123 Reviews]:\u00a0<\/strong>I must confess sometimes doing this feature is a chore. Sometimes it’s finding enough things to talk about in a massive amount of releases. Others, its week’s like this, where it’s one incredibly bad film I have to talk about.<\/p>\n

And, really, what is there to talk about? They’ve been making this film for ten years. And I don’t mean the franchise, I mean the same movie. The good robots fight the bad robots. There will be explosions. An emotional connection between a human and robot will come into play. A new robot from the toy line will make its debut. A really good actor will slum in the film for a paycheck. A hidden secret from their past is revealed. Property is damaged. The film will receive horrible reviews. It will make tons of money. Repeat again in 2 to 3 years.<\/p>\n

It got so bad that I forgot this was being released on Wednesday. That’s why you’re getting this post now. Well, at least the delay allows me to link to Rich’s eviscerating review of the film<\/a>.<\/p>\n
