The Lion King Transformers Fulfill a Political Agenda

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2018)

So, don't kid yourself - every film has some political perspective. But then there are films with a political agenda. As just cool visuals and fight scenes, this film is okay. The problem is that the writers/director don't trust that you are bright enough to get the underlying political message, so they blast it at you. Hmmmmm...from out of nowhere comes the evil , vicious contender to lead the nation by using military force and and adherence to a nationalistic philosophy? Hmmmm...a nation that does not want to let outsiders contaminate the fabric of their society?
Then, just as a story, the whole thing is preposterous - they have a gazillion tons of what must be a radioactive rock, but no one has found them because they are covered by trees.
The only saving grace of this movie is that they did not find a way to get Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L Jackson or The Rock in it.
