 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts  Quote: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a 2023 American science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line, and primarily influenced by the Beast Wars storyline. The film is the seventh installment in the Transformers live-action film series. Serving as both a standalone sequel to Bumblebee (2018) and prequel to Transformers (2007), the film was directed by Steven Caple Jr. from a screenplay by Joby Harold, Darnell Metayer, Josh Peters, Erich Hoeber, and Jon Hoeber. It stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, as well as the voice talents of Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Liza Koshy, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Pete Davidson, Colman Domingo, Cristo Fernández, Tongayi Chirisa, and returning franchise regulars Peter Cullen, John DiMaggio, and David Sobolov.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts had its premiere at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on May 27, 2023, and was released in the United States on June 9, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Transformers Rise of the Beasts’ fantastic action and special effects almost make up for the generic story and human characters. Better than 2 and 3, never saw 4 or 5 or Bumblebee. So by default my second favorite I guess.

Re: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts This is a compact version of Age of Extinction. It's fine. The action is exciting and a surprising amount of jokes are funny (Pete Davidson is somehow not even the most annoying member of the good guys.) The tease at the end got a big pop from the four people in the theater.
I do wish they had used different Autobots. Why is Optimus a racist idiot now? And Bumblebee is gone for so long they might as well have kept him in the 80s. The human characters are ... fine. Alot of the dialogue is too much though. I gave an exasperated sigh and checked the time on my phone on at least four occasions and that's too many.
So I'll give Rise of the Beasts a 6ish/10. I still don't think it needed to be made or anyone needed to see it, but it's a decent way to spend two hours.

Re: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts It's a mixed bag, there's some decent moments here and there, and the Transformers action mostly delivers. Having Peter Cullen voice Optimus Prime also has a nice familiarity and quality to it. But other than that, Anthony Ramos lacks any charisma to lead this film and the overall story and writing is just dull. The human elements are just not interesting, and though the voice acting of the robots often feels uninspiring too, there's at least more suspense when they're involved. Bumblebee felt like a fresh Transformers film, but Rise of the Beasts is more of the same and a step back again.

Re: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Given how unenjoyable I've found Michael Bay's films (at least the sequels) this was surprisingly enjoyable and an easy watch.

Re: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts This was boring. Definitely better than the Bay films, but loses almost all of the charm of Bumblebee which remains this franchise's high point. C
