Whether it was good or no, it was a huge thing here in Peru, and many of my friends and even schools teachers got to help a little with the production, either with props or as assistants, and they really thank the experience

[@yxrackman2397]

I think that’s why this one was better than the other ones. The set pieces felt connected to the transformers themselves rather than just mind numbing destruction and explosions left and right.

[@Optimusprime809]

So cool! I remember watching the set videos of the Autobots driving around Peru, and there was that awesome part where Optimus T-boned Scourge through a wall, as in he crashed into him and flipped him over, I'm sad that didn't make it into the film.

[@MyNameIsRow01]

@aetheroix463 well, considering they don't die at the end, and there's supposed to be something like 4 or 5 more Transformers movies in this new series of films, I'd expect that they'll come back in later films and probably be featured more, this movie did deal with the Transformers trying to find them for most of the movie, and it's called "Rise of The Beasts"

I liked this movie a lot. It takes the mcguffin plot weve seen so many times and makes it work by giving the leading characters an actual personal motivation to want it. Noah and Optimus Prime have damn good character development and its they who push the plot forward alongside their competently written character arcs. Its not deep. But its competent

[@anecro]

A lot of movies do mcguffins successfully the same exact way. It's just that way more movies nowadays use mcguffins in general and fail.

[@eiriksundby]

@@anecro either way it's nice to see especially in a TF movie. I just love how they did it here. Prime blames himself for the autobots being stranded on earth, as well as a bunch of other things. They rely on him and he feels like he needs to shoulder as many burdens as he can for their sake. So him wanting to try to make things right by getting the key to use to go home works super well as a strong motivation. But then there's noah who also has a lot to lose. He has a family which relies on him, giving him a strong sense of responsibility just like prime. But he doesn't trust that prime will be able to keep the key safe after seeing him be defeated by scourge as well as how he aptly put it "i aint trusting my home to someone who couldnt protect his own", so noah wants the key to dispose of it and take matters of protecting his family into his own hands. It's solid shit

The thing that really threw me off, especially from watching the original beast wars is some weird plot emphasis the movie had that they never followed up on. Without spoiling too much the things that really confused me and felt unused regarded scourge and 1. Unicron owning the terracons “souls” 2. The vehicle that scourge tranformed into 3. Everyone being from the distant future 4. Mirage ripping off the mask of scourge. Where the plot slowed down to a face reveal of no consequence. 5. The decepticon badges in scourges trophy case It felt like they were building up to a plot point with a big identity reveal of scourge then decided against using the plot point at all, but they didnt want the animation/cgi to go to waste.

[@willbrench924]

The problem with this film was the lack of characterization. In Bumblebee, there were only 5 characters to introduce (Bumblebee, the 2 villains, and 2 human leads) which allowed for plenty of screentime for each character. In Rise of The Beasts they had to introduce a shit ton of more characters (Mirage, 2 human leads, Optimus Prime, 3 other autobots, 4 maximals, 3 terracons, and unicron). This disrupts any sort of connection to form with the characters leading the viewer to not be fully invested in the final battle. For the Transformers: The lack of depiction causes each character to be boring. The main character Optimus Prime in this film has 0 personality and comes off as a bland stereotypical leader. Whereas the main character in Bumblebee has specific attributes and qualities such as his courage, his optimism, and his compassion that the viewer really gets to witness in his interactions with Charlie Villain Problem: The villains literally have 0 persoanlity besides just wanting to take over the Earth. In conclusion, I believe this film had the potential to be quite good if they had solidified each significant character before going into the film. Had they made an Optimus Prime solo movie and solo movie on the beasts, the viewers would've actually cared about the final battle. This movie shares many similarities with the first Avengers movie (2012). The only difference is that each avenger had their own solo outings prior to the film allowing the viewers to gain a connection with the characters.

[@TheRolltide130]

One thing that I haven't seen talked about that kinda sorta bothered me was the last 20 minutes of the movie is literally the end of Iron Man 1 but with some transformers. Even has the Nick Fury Avengers initiative scene at the end but with Hasbro properties subbed in for Marvel properties.

[@nephel6158]

There were quite a few smooth-brain moments from some of the characters. For example, the Maximals (namely the first one that stalls for time) don't Maximise when they first fight scourge. Mirage can give Noah a glove with a laser that 1 shots minions, but doesn't 1 shot the minions chasing Noah and Elana out of the museum. Etc, etc. That said, I liked the movie overall, flaws and all. Noah and Mirage's relationship was super cute. Edit: Also, when I saw Scourge, I just keep getting reminded of Ultron. Idk why.

Fr. Like so many things happened and I was just boggled that they did. Spoilers below. Like when two guards are shown turning away from the closing door at the museum, and yet dont hear Noah even enter. How could they not have heard him!? It was literally back-to-back shots! Also, Noah told his little brother, a CHILD to wait outside in New York, and we never see how he ends up. The suit gimmick was cringe. I dunno

[@Drakonus_]

I really agree. Everything about it was so corny, cartoonish, and childish. From the robot designs, to the one-liners, to the basic dialogues, to the "sad" scenes, and to the plot, it's definitely made for children.

[@taxisalad]

SPOILERS!! [10:32] I absolutely loved the movie personally, but I know exactly what you're talking about. While watching I was thinking "why didn't the Maximals just destroy the Trans-Warp Drive?". Having just seen a video digging on the film with a bunch of points that are just bad, this video actually has valid criticisms--even though that other one used a clip of Charlie to try and agree with what they were saying--but it doesn't ruin my enjoyment. The movies isn't high art or anything, but it's (in my opinion at least) an upgrade from the past for the most part, and certainly better than a lot coming out recently. Yet another example of Charlie having an opinion of a movie I love that, while far more critical (holy shit), doesn't ruin my appreciation for it. Like the recent Godzilla movies from Warner Bros.: I liked those, but I agree with Charlie's criticisms and am not gonna shit myself because he's mean about a movie I enjoyed. I like artistic cinema, but sometimes a fun movie is enough to keep you busy when you need it the most.

[@maxrodriguez889]

The thing about this movie is, complain about it all anybody wants, its the most faithful live action movie to ALL of transformers preexisting lore. Not like that preexisting lore was ever logically sound through and through to begin with, but still real transformers fans know that it was made by actual fans this time, and not just name slapping a whole bunch of shit from the past and turning it into whatever the fuck they wanted it to be. with the exception of whoever tf wheeljack was in this movie

I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that they give everyone arm cannons when they had guns in the last one especially since it was a thing that made bumble bee unique cuz he was the only one who did that, even in the bay movies they all had guns. It wouldn’t be that big of a deal if the cannons were cool looking but the actual guns they had looked infinitely cooler than the arm cannon

[@Espartanica]

Prime handled this the best. Everyone has arm cannons, but guns still exist because they can fire at different rates, or different powers, or be more powerful than the arm cannons are.

[@superbodoque7860]

Totally agree with what they did with the Maximals, I didn't really have any connection with beast wars and i do prefer the robots transforming into vehicles rather than animals but despite their small screentime i loved the Maximals in this movie and i only wished there was more to them cuz they felt underutilized, man was Primal a badass

Especially how smart the dialogue and character interactions were given how skimpy the cast was, I mean originally you only had Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Cheetor and Rat trap for the ENTIRE Maximal lineup, and almost as many Predacons, yet the writing is so exemplary, that this seldom poses a limitation! I loved Beast wars almost beginning to end, especially when you take into account how amazing some of the subject matter was, like for example take "Transmutate" and "Fallen Warrior" two episodes that deal with a Robot exhibiting mental health issues and another dealing with the idea of sacrificing one's life for others... Just WOW! 2 OF MY FAVOURITE EPS and it's no wander that Beast Wars was a standout from the other offerings at the time!

Optimus also feels extremely incompetent throughout the whole movie constantly failing at everything while also just getting angered way too easily.

I, like many others, have been watching Charlie's reviews for some time and I still vehemently believe Charlie should really first do a spoiler-free review of the movie, and then a review getting really into it, either in a seperate video or in the same video divided by chapters. This would not only completely remove the only frustating parts of video both for us the viewers and Charlie himself where he keeps trying to say something but reluctantly tip-toes around it for the sake for being spoiler-free, but it would also allow the spoiler-free version to be much more concise and straight to the point, thanks to the spoiler version being the one going into the deep dive as to why Charlie did or didn't like the movie in terms of specific gripes with ploit points, visuals and dialogues!
