My Thoughts on "Transformers: The Last Knight"

Foreword:  This was originally written on Monday August 7, 2023. This is the fourth and final review that I've written for the Michael Bay Transformers movies that I took as an excerpt from a description of a re-edit that I did for explosion compilation videos 💥 that I downloaded off of YouTube.

I did one for Armageddon ☄️ , I did one for Pearl Harbor , I did one for each of the Transformers films, and I did one for 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi .

You'll remember last week, I posted a review of Ang Lee's Hulk, which you can go read if you want, so this isn't my first time talking about one of his movies. I even mentioned Gemini Man in that review in the section explaining Ang Lee as a director, and talking about some of his work prior to and after Hulk (2003). But, what about Gemini Man itself? Well, I've still never seen
