My Transformers Rise of the Beasts review

 My Transformers Rise of the Beasts review

Intro: How did Paramount get away with making the same movie that was done before? 

Transformers Rise of the Beasts: This movie takes place seven years after the events of BumbleBee and the reminding Autobots can to Earth to keep a low profit. That changed when a MacGuffin appeared that can send them home but can also, draw the attention of Unicorn. So, the Autobots have to keep it away from his henchman. 

This movie is disappointing! After Bumblebee I thought this franchise was going to get better boy was I wrong. This movie is the same as Revenge of the Fallen but less obnoxious. This is the second time we get a crossover between the Autobots and the Maximals and it's wasted. What's the point of having Rise of the Beast as a subtitle if the Maximals are treated like guest stars? When the Maximals transform, we don't get a clear shot of them. It's awkward to have Unicorn without Glavatron. How many times do I have to tell writers about "censor" characters? I'm not crazy about what this movie teased. The human characters deal with underline racism.  

Optimus Prime is not in this movie. He may look like Optimus Prime, but he isn't he reminds me of Ultra Magnus. We do get an explanation as to why he's like this but it lacks context. 

Mirage is the comic relief.

BumbleBee is more or less the same. Sadly, he doesn't get a lot of screen time. 

Wheeljack bugs me because he's different from the cartoon, he's more of a guru in this movie with a Mexican accent. What the fudge!?! 

Noah is a down-on-his-luck veteran who's struggling to get a job and help his little brother. He also parallels with Optimus Prime. I'm not crazy about what was done with him in the climax. 

Elena is an intern at a museum and an artifact researcher. The actress playing her doesn't seem to be in the best shape because she seems to struggle with the action scenes. That's a shame because she's cute and I was wondering if we could... (My editor is standing behind me.) 

We could what?    

Me: Play dodgeball. 

Scourge (one of the villains) is the leader of the Terrorcons and he gives the Autobots are run for their money. 

Unicorn (the main villain) is just like his cartoon counterpart.

I like the fight scenes because they are well-shot for the most part and there are funny moments in the movie. I don't mind the fan service and the human characters to a degree. ( I want the next movie to have no human characters.) I appreciate that this movie doesn't have a lot of '90s references. The theme of the movie is trust but more could have been done with that theme.  

Overall, this movie is not a good sight of things to come from this franchise. 

Rating = Trash.
