Transformers 5: First reactions from London premiere

Back in March, critics saw early footage of Transformers: The Last Knight which didn’t go down well, as they branded it “horrible” and “messy”. And now the first reactions for the full movie are in from it’s London premiere, and it’s not looking much better for the fifth film of the franchise.

The premiere took place on Sunday and reactions have since arrived on Twitter, unfortunately many are negative, as the film is described as an “utter mess” and the “worst blockbuster since Suicide Squad“. See a selection of the tweets below:

As a film, it was an utter mess that didn't know what hell it wanted to be, failed to surprise, and was completely uneven.

Erratic pace. Uneven tone. Lack of depth. Long superfluous fluff. It is clearly a Michael Bay film.

Saw a screening of Transformers tonight. I'm sorry to say, it gets 5/10 and ?? from me. Cast was great, storyline wasn't.

Oh boy, I got early an early screening of Transformers 5 and it's terrible. If you're going to see it then see it in Imax.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT: Assembles KING ARTHUR, SUICIDE SQUAD and, well, TRANSFORMERS into the shittiest movie of the year. Maybe ever

Just saw advanced screening of #transformers. Do not go. Worse than "The Room", zero substance, not funny, not good, just no. No.

I feel like I've just come out of a 2 and a half hour rollercoaster! #Transformers : The Last Knight is a hell of a ride! IMAX is a must!

Transformers:5, Latest in series plays like the others with lots of CGI and explosions. Nothing new in film, but plenty for fans. Big movie.
