Most of this movie is boring, even when there is action on the screen. The first 1h30 should have been cut to an hour, and it would have been more entertaining. Up until this point, it was a middling 5/10 for me, just like the rest of these movies (bar 1 perhaps).
HOWEVER, the final act/fight is honestly stellar - I actually sat up and properly enjoyed the battle, the fact that the people were actually involved (due to what I thought was a pretty neat, if cliché device).
It actually felt like there were some stakes too, both on large and small scale. The music, both soundtrack and needle drops were on point. Just a pity that the rest of the movie didn't have this level of quality.

As a neutral, I went in there with no real expectations. Regardless of the critics out there, I have personally enjoyed it. There is a new direction along with some exciting new characters and overall it was fun viewing.
I felt the storyline was simple and comprehensive and the chemistry among the characters were solid. To be honest though, it may not be everyone's couple of tea. Especially for people who may have enjoyed the earlier versions of it.
Nevertheless, the action sequences were ok, they are plenty room of improvements and at times it lacked innovation. Despite this, the introduction of Anthony Ramos was interesting and he didn't disappoint in his performance.
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience but don't expect too much fireworks from this movie, looking forward to see how this franchise unfolds !

I usually don't write movie reviews. Since, I liked all previous 'Transformer' movies, I just couldn't stop myself from writing this one. The autobots and maximals did not fail in their visual effects and performance. What made the entire storyline weaker was the two lead roles They delivered quite a lacklustre performance. Was the director/producer trying to bring diversity to the plot? Every minute of watching them was making the movie taste bland. The onus is somewhat on the screenplay.and direction of the movie. Overall, the movie deserves 7/10 (if you like Transformers). For someone watching Transformers for the first time, it may be a disappointment.

After the success of 'Bumblebee' I was hoping that this instalment might offer a more rewarding viewing experience than the previous cash grab Transformers outings, but I was sorely mistaken. It is unfortunately a rather drab affair.
Within about 5 minutes every cliche possible is ticked off the list. The dialogue is grating and so corny it hurts. The action is messy and disorienting. The newly introduced 'Maximals' are severely wasted with limited screen time. The plot centres around a silly doohickey that is hard to care about. The human characters are kind of annoying and poorly written. None of the humour really lands and neither do any of the emotional story beats. The story sags a little in the middle. I could go on.
Saying all that, this film is mildly entertaining and does have its moments, although they are too few and far between. I guess it's worth watching if you are into your Transformers films, but the casual movie goer should probably save their money and skip this one.

6.5/10
Well at least it's better than the Bumblebee movie and way better than Revenge Of The Fallen, but Rise Of The Beasts still hasn't have that epicness of both story telling and action combined like the Michael Bay version and yes i still much prefer those one say whatever you want, it just my opinion, i did have a problem with Rise Of The Beasts from Dominique Fishback bad acting, Pete Davidson's Mirage characters that are just annoying and loud at times, the decision of making Bumblebee sort of die again for like a thousand time (Spoiler! I guess), the long distance build up for the re-introduction of Optimus Primal that are too long making it his appearance can be said not too much in the movie, and the exact problem from previous movies happening again, which is when they make Optimus Prime takes too much L, the way they make Optimus so weak neither in the beginning or in the middle while they always hailed him as the most powerful one and the legend and the leader of all Autobots kinda of pissed me off, that's basically most of my problem with the movie, while the goods of Rise Of The Beasts is of course the action, the battle scene are pretty exciting and the last battle was great, Anthony Ramos ok performance and characters itself overall is a W, all of the Autobots and the Maximals team were fine, Optimus got a lot of screen time, Noah's little brother and friend performance was fine, some cool and even funny scene, liked some of the soundtrack, and Scourge was a good villain, overall Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts is problematic and have a lot of flaws but it also still fills with entertaining action, villain, ok performance male lead, and not ridiculous main plot, it's not terrible but it's not amazing or incredible either, (the half plus score i gave for the movie is because Rise Of The Beasts have more stuff in it than the Bumblebee movie and that's why i am not giving it the same score which is only a 6 for Bumblebee).

Where do I start? Let's start with the positive; the CGI was amazing. The bad; the acting, and the casting was terrible. I don't know who wrote the script, but it was awful also. Nothing against the actors, but some of them seem so miscast in their roles. The girls voice was absolutely annoying. Sometimes over acting, sometimes not acting at all. But all in all just terrible. Sometimes great dialogue can say bad acting, in this case, the dialogue was just as bad. Cringe worthy. I was hoping for more as I love the transformers movies. I wanted to stop watching within the first 15 minutes, but I also wanted to give it a chance to see if it would get better. It didn't. If this is the best they've got they should stop now.
After being disappointed with Age of Extinction, loathing The Last Knight, and being one of the few that disliked Bumblebee, I went into this movie expecting it to be terrible. But I am ecstatic after watching the best Transformers movie since Dark of the Moon.
I found myself smiling for most of the runtime. For the first time in years, I kept thinking "Transformers are so damn cool." There are so many beautiful shots with these CGI creations, so many moments to screenshot and frame. The action is miles better than the last three entries.
They fixed so many of the issues that plagued the last three movies. There are actual characters with motivations we understand, conflicts where we can see both sides of the argument. Even the Transformer characters are significantly more fleshed out. I felt for them.
There is an actual story instead of nonsense to move the plot forward. You don't even have to turn your brain off to enjoy it. And the comedy actually works! I laughed more times than the previous three movies combined.
This experience made me so happy, and I look forward to any future projects if this is the direction they're taking. It's a perfect example of how, if you do it right and create with care and passion, the result will be endlessly better.
EDIT: I loved it even more the second time. Multiple action sequences give me goosebumps, similar to how I feel when watching the Dark of the Moon highway scene and the Optimus rage scene at the end. And I can't believe I didn't mention it originally, but the musical score is AMAZING. It elevates every scene and gives me the feels.

I have to start by saying that I was not expecting much from this movie so I'm thrilled with joy about how much I got from it. I think I'm bias because the movie takes place in 1994, a good year for me and a good time for music which was used very effectively to give you a vibe of New York (or rather Brooklyn) in general. I will be blunt on how the Black and Brown culture meshing with the Transformers also realty gave the franchise a breath of fresh air. It's strange how that works. Black and LantinX has existed forever yet somehow putting it in a movie franchise about giant robots from space gave it a uniqueness that gets attention.
As Martin Scorsese would say "it's a roller coaster ride", but I love roller coaster rides. The Action was fantastic beautiful visual scenes but I'll admit my one nick pick would be don't see it in 3D. The format flattens the visual effects making everything look faker than it already is.
Also love the interaction of the humans and Transformers. The Transformers have more personality now than they did as basic background for Michael Bay's film.
Plus, there are some bells and whistles that truly put the smile of the 8-year kid on my face.
Worth it!

It's an ok movie. If you have an interest in seeing Transformers' action then check it out. The lead up is solid, not great but not terrible either, but this movie really shines at the end. Watching the Transformers come together and fight is epic, and if you have a good sound system, it's even better. I gave it a 6 but I feel it's between a 6 and a 7. I can also understand why some would rate it higher. I don't know what political stuff other reviewers are complaining about. There wasn't any in the movie, that I saw. The scores of 1-5 are ridiculous imo. If you're a fan of Transformers, I think you'll enjoy it. Cheers.

While this film isn't groundbreaking it gives fans of the franchise some hope of a resurgence. The film takes place in 1994 and it lends itself to that time period with the music choices and the aesthetics of New York. Anthony Ramos's character was that of a stereotypical Latino from New York. In the film he's down on his luck searching for a job to help his single mother take care of his ailing younger brother. While out trying to make money illegally he gets caught up with the transformers who are trying to retrieve an artifact.
Ramos is funny in his role and his chemistry with Pete Davidson (Mirage) works well. There was a point in the film where he took charge of the situation and it came off as a bit forced. Overall, I enjoyed his performance and what he added to this film. The direction of his character during the final battle added to the entertainment of this film.
Dominique Fishbacks's character started off interesting but by the time the film ended she was underwhelming. More could have been done with her character.
Dean Scott Vasquez was okay as he added a bit of humor but some of his scenes that were meant to be emotional weren't as touching as the film tried to make them.
The landscapes of Peru were very beautiful to see and it was nice seeing the action taken away from the city. The character designs were nice but some of the characters were underutilized (Cheetah, Rhino...). The beasts were shown here and there but it felt like a very surface level introduction. The villain had a clear-cut motive which helped carry the story.
In all this film was a decent introduction to these new characters with room for improvement. I look forward to the next film and hope they can capitalize on what they started in this film.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts offers an exciting blend of action, nostalgia, and new characters that will engage both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise. Directed by Steven Caple Jr. And set in the 1990s, the film introduces a fresh narrative revolving around the Maximals, Predacons, and the Autobots, which adds a unique twist to the beloved Transformer saga.
The visual effects are undoubtedly a highlight, with impressive CGI that brings the massive robots to life in spectacular battles. The action sequences are exhilarating, featuring dynamic choreography and breathtaking visuals that keep you on the edge of your seat. The vibrant settings, from urban landscapes to lush jungles, also contribute to the film's overall aesthetic appeal.
While the action and visuals shine, the plot feels somewhat formulaic. The story follows familiar patterns seen in previous Transformers films, and at times it lacks the depth and nuance needed to elevate it beyond a straightforward sci-fi action flick. Some character development falls by the wayside, leading to a few underwhelming performances.
That said, the chemistry between the human characters provides some heartfelt moments, and the humor scattered throughout the film adds levity to the intense action. The voice performances of the Transformers themselves, particularly those of the new characters, breathe life into the story and provide a sense of personality that fans will appreciate.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is an entertaining rollercoaster that delivers what fans have come to expect - thrilling action and spectacular visuals. While it may not rewrite the rulebook for the franchise, it's a fun addition that continues to build the expansive Transformers universe. Perfect for a summer blockbuster, it's a movie worth seeing for fans looking to enjoy light-hearted escapism.

After the last Transformers movie, I really didn't think these movies could get any dumber, or that they would release even more of these, but I guess I underestimated the allure of another cash grab.
This movie has all the hallmarks of the nowaday Transformer movie: worn out clichés, a horrendous script that might as well have been written by teenagers with zero character development, lazy attempts at humour, tired clichés, the fake patriotism, and explosions explosions explosions.
To top it off the creators have decided to broaden the market appeal by suddenly cast non-white actors and play what they seem to think is cool music. Sadly, I guess it could work but man, how lazy.
I guess it might work for teenage boys filled with testosterone, can't really se who else this is marketed to.

Transformers Age of Extinction and The Last Knight have drag the the franchise to the ground... but Bumblebee movie makes a new turn giving some hope to the franchise and this move...Rise of the Beasts followed by Bumblebee gets the job done and put the transformers franchise back into the right track...
The movie is not a masterpiece.....its not bad either...movie has a great flow starting to the end without making any brake points.... and there are no scenes where you can experience jumps from the main story like it was in Bayverse movies.... Movie has refreshed music with the all time classic Transformers Theme.... CGI was good...they have definitely done a great job....though they were not impressive like in the Bayverse...they could definitely improve transformations a little in some scenes but overall it is good.
I recommend watching this movie as this could be a game changing start for Transformers franchise.

Good lord, after watching this film my IQ has been lowered by 10%...
Starting out with the mish mash of 90's hip hop tunes that don't really work in the film, and then later the film forgets about the hip-hop and reverts to standard orchestral music.
The white male boss who doesn't want to give the Latino a job. And then Mirage the autobot mercilessly killing white cops in the car chase.
Then the Spanish transformer, and the Latino character is like "Wow your spanish" and the Spanish transformer replies "That's racist..." like omg... what is wrong with these writers?
And the two human hero's go into a tomb and they say: "This is some indiana jones stuff" and it just reads like the writers thought "Lets have an indiana jones style section" and then they comment on their own ideas in the script. So 4th wall breaking, but NOT in a good way.
At this point, I think a large section of Hollywood is just a rich club of nepo-babies without a single shred of talent, who are totally obsessed with shoving modern politics into everything. Like seriously, get some original ideas, and get a life. ( and I'm saying that as a Left Wing guy - but what do these issues have to do with Transformers??? )
No thank you. Skip the film for sure.

Transformers rise of the beasts took everything that worked with Bumblebee . Anthony Ramos and Dominique fishback did a great performance and pete Davinson as mirage stole the show , but the true star is without a doubt the adsolute best soundtrack of the 90' . I am happy to say that transformers is a lot of fun , the cgi looks pretty good . When I first watched this film a lot of people were clapping and they laughed a lot . In conclusion , this new transformers movie is the beginning of something much bigger ! Cant wait to see what paramount pictures has in store for us. . this movie deserves a 9.5/10.

A film similar to the previous ones with some improvements, but fundamental is nothing really interesting. The story recalls other products, good visual effects and CGI, but this is not enough to save a film that follows the previous ones.
This is a brand that has now given everything, maybe it's time they put it to rest. A film you see once is enough, it's not a memorable film. To be watched without too many pretensions, it is not a bad film but it is not a good film. I liked Bubblebee the previous film before this one, this one much less. The premises are there to be a good product but they need to work more on the screenplay.

Honestly the last couple acts saved this movie. It went from a -1 to at least a 6. The classic Optimus/Peter Cullen came to fruition later in the film. I started feeling like a young kid again hearing Peter cullens trash talk and all was forgiven. Dare I say the film finished better than most transformer films to date.
The beasts: primal and crew, was awesome. One scene when he and Optimus prime teamed up, classic.
Dominique/Elena was good. She added a lot to the film.
Anthony/Noah was ok but his whole family background wasn't needed. The poor boy blah blah blah was tiresome and I found myself bored in the beginning.
Lastly, Pete. He's funny and all I get it. But with bumblebee getting a serious back seat, I wasn't happy.
But as I started this rant, the last hour or so was awesome. And it was a nice treat at the end, that definitely left me with anticipation for the future.

"Rise of the beasts" but doesn't feel like a beasts was rising. 5 years of waiting a new Transformers film after Bumblebee (2018), I was expecting some Optimus Prime solo film or maybe some decent Transformers film but what we got is some mixed up faction betwen Autobots, Maximals and Terrorcons.
The problem with this film is that they introduce some of new characters but they force it into 1 hours film which is a mistake, this film should've been a 2 hours because there were new characters that we've never seen before in live action and they need some backstory about this new charactes. They only focus with the backstory about the humans which is boring because they got more screentime than the Maximals and i feel dissappointed with Rhinox and Cheetor, they have less screentime.
The transformation of robots in this film was kinda boring. In the bayverse the transformation of the Transformers feels like a slow but fast and smooth and we can see clearly how do they transform into robots. In this film the transformation was kinda fast and the CGI was kinda greyish so it's very hard to see what they transform into.
And oh god what have they done with Wheeljack. Wheeljack is such a useless character in this film. This film can work without Wheeljack. They change his design, his voice, his personality and worstly he doesn't even do anything in this film beside chasing Battletrap with Arcee.
Unicron? They should just make a movie about Autobots fighting The Decepticons because they really have a balls of steel to use Unicron in the first film Transformers in the reboot universe. I mean come on man this was a second film in the reboot universe and they just straight introduce us to Unicron. They should just do with Unicron later because this universe need more fresh story. It feels like a DCEU film when we got to introduce with Superman and then he fight Batman in the next film and then in the next film they introduce Darkseid.
The only things i like about this film is the soundtrack. Steve Jablonsky is back and he use his original Transformers 2007 theme in this film and i was surprise at the end of the film and Optimus Prime did his final speech after 6 years the last time he did his final speech in Transformers The Last Knight.

Solid 7/10 here, and far better than the last few offerings, although admittedly I lasted exactly 12 minutes in "The Last Knight" before turning it off.
Rise of the beasts is pretty thin on story but there's just enough to hold interest and having the Gen 1 designs make a comeback is a nice addition, despite my lack of nostalgia for them.
I honestly don't know what to say beyond that, perfectly serviceable action movie with giant robots. Would have been nice to see a bit more of Unicron and a bit more development / depth to Scourge but hey, I grew up watching Transformers: Beast Wars and this delivers on that, all your favourites from the series, in one big brawl for the planet. 7/10.
