This is easily THE BEST blockbuster film of 2017. I had so much fun watching it, it's crazy. Not gonna spoil anything, I'm just gonna say: go watch it as soon as possible. As far as action-spectacle movies are concerned, "Transformers: The Last Knight" is an epic ride. Don't listen to the hateful nerds and especially the jaded film critics. Don't be a sheep. WATCH AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.

Wayyyy more entertaining than Fate of the Furious. Diesel clearly has more fun playing Xander Cage. Glad that the movie was saved by the Chinese box office and I'm hoping for another one. I like Fast and Furious, but at this point I would like to see more xXx movies than more F&F movies.

Not only one my favorite movies of 2017, but also one of my favorite thriller movies in general. Magnificent locations, beautiful cinematography and a very creepy atmosphere. Shame, shame, shame that it was a box office flop. Seriously, when it's out on DVD/Blu-ray, make sure to watch it! Trust me, it's worth it.

Director: Jonathan Levine | Stars: Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Kim Caramele, Raven Goodwin
Votes: 37,573 | Gross: $45.83M
The IMDb rating (at least when I write this) is a pathetic 3.3. Which clearly shows that even though the IMDB message boards are long gone, the IMDB trolls are still hard at work. Now, I know very well that the rating is so low because of all the Amy Schumer haters. Personally, I don't care about her, at all, and the only reason I watched this movie - and ended up really enjoying - is my favorite gal Goldie Hawn. She was really fun and it was great seeing her on the big screen after 15 years.
So yes, this IMDB rating is beyond ridiculous. So don't trust it. I don't trust ratings in general, so the reason I'm writing this is to warn those poor souls who still trust them.
