Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - Movie Review

So, the saga of the Transformers movies has been a rollercoaster, but Bumblebee seemed to put it on track. Does this newest installment keep the momentum going? Here's my review for TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS!

I really loved the last act, it was incredibly fun and had Transformers doing Transformers things and it still followed the main cast. I didn't have any problems with it.

Yep same. It generally was so refreshing having such a small human cast (literally two characters). It actually felt like a TRANSFORMERS movie even if it could have been like 25min longer to give some more quiet moments with characterization to the Maximals.

I partly understand Prime's hostile to humans, he sent Bee to establish a base and protect the planet along with its inhabitants. Since he is a scout, there is a high chance he told Optimus or in this case showed his recording that humans even if there are good ones, there are some that humans can be easily manipulated to work with the Decepticons, especially if those humans have position in the government... He also saw that Bee was captured, tortured and killed by the Decepticons that worked with humans and this made Prime angry, and ordered all the autobots to stay hidden until further notice.

The thing that made Bumblebee work was the relatively small scale of the story. As much as I am looking forward to this one, I hope we get maybe a spin off or two where they focus more on those standalone stories. It also gives audiences someone to root for when the big team ups happen.

Also really want them to change up the plot to being a location based objective or a milestone objective. Like defending the capitol. Just something different that doesn’t involve an object as the goal. Like I’m cool with them getting cool objects but it shouldn’t be what the plot rest on. I want Megatron to actually have a character so bad. With actual ideology and a relationship with Optimus that isn’t just we must kill each other. Lol

Thx Jeremy for the simple and honest review. You are pretty much spot on with all the highs and lows of the movie. For once I'd love to see a Transformers movie without any sort of a "mcguffin" thingy. How about, since we are kinda on a roll with Bumblebee and ROTB being "not so bad", and much better than the trash we got from the MB series (besides the 1st original) maybe we should explore a little deeper into some of the characters before doing any massive big budget build or break the franchise ideas. Don't want to be cramping a ton of info into a 2hr show. Bait the fans with character development with what you have already introduced.

[@Harbingeruprisingofficial]

Fair review. The first half I thought was very solid, with only a few lines that struck me as lacking. But the second half is where it was “fine enough”. I did enjoy the movie, and everything here is still so much better than the Michael bay movies, in my opinion. Yes, I want more from the Maximals but hopefully they show up for future movies as well. Great acting and voice acting. And I certainly appreciate the new art style with this and the bumblebee movie. FANTASTIC SOUNDTRACK.

Man my first review I ever saw from you was the the Transformers Dark of the Moon years ago. Awesome to see you reviewing the newest transformers film. I love beast wars so I hope they do a great job with the representation of these characters.

[@arsenelupin9697]

[@childrenofprimus]

Rise of the Beasts is an easy 8 out of 10. The best of all the live action Transformers movies. The 1986 movie still holds top place for an animation movie. They finally figured out that the humans are co-stars within a robot battle movie/show, and not the other way around. Fans who understand Transformers, how this plot was written, and what was revealed at the end of the movie, can now see a future potential for the franchise.

Just a short review about your review : Great energy and spectacular hand gesturing 😉😁

[@joeypolisena]

I feared due to the amount of transformers in the movie, that the maximals wouldn’t have too much character development which I feel is needed now in these movies. And hearing rhinox hasn’t been written as a buff tech guy makes me say “meh” still can’t wait to see it of course but man the maximals have so much more to bring to the table story wise and character wise

[@WigantX]

I'm pretty sure most people that are not familiar with Beast Wars, would enjoy the movie. I'm a huge fan of Beast Wars and it was a bit underwhelming how the maximal were used in this movie. If you have seen the trailers, that's pretty much what you get from them. Spoilers ahead: Airazor doesn't even have a robot mode (but I gotta say that her eagle/hawk? design was dope). Rhinox speaks not a single word. Cheetor goes "Hi" and that's it. Dinobot and Rattrap were completely absent (did they die offscreen?), so they lost the opportunity to have Rattrap saying "hi, grandma" to Arcee. I dare to say that If you remove the maximals from the story, it would have worked anyways

[@joeypolisena]

@@WigantX I agree. Loved the film. Also I think arcee was his aunt

[@TrueConsumption]

I loved beast wars as a child with it's reboot like graphics and always wanted a new series targeting kids who watched it so maybe live action series or movie. So happy to see it in some form and excited see it! I gave my kids my beast wars toys and sheesh remembering how change em all haha :)

[@etchasketch222]

Standalone Beast Wars film would be awesome! They have to go back in time like the show did. Space battles, crashing, finding their beast forms and the race to find escape pods for extra troops. T-Rex Megatron with the "yessssss" catch phrase. I'm sold. Let's do this!

[@kozebear8337]

[@Clocktothetick]

I am going to argue something, I for one do enjoy the human element in transformers movies, for not only does it really set up the position they are in, where they lit destroyed their old world and yet their fight has just moved on to a new one with a species not involved with the previous battle now being forced to participate but it also makes a question on our end of how humanity paths and where it places it values on it, if anything I wish it was played on a bit more with some humans even joining the decepticon ranks or believing in Megatrons ideas, since it makes this new battelfield that shows how their war never really seems to end.

[@davidbeer5015]

I remember that being a neat twist in Dark of the Moon. Or even with Age of Extinction with the ones hunting any of them down after the events of Chicago in the 3rd. I'd be down to see it more to contrast the ones who do try to help the Autobots.

[@ajtaylor8750]

I like what Steven Caple Jr. did with Creed II, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he is capable of with a Transformers film.

[@michaelconnor1542]

The fight over "energon", essentially oil compressed into an energy matrix, was a great mcguffin. One that could continue from film to film, and would always make logical sense.

[@SalivatingSteve]

I agree with you about the movie spelling out everything they’re doing. On the other hand, it makes the plot easy to follow. I think this is a good movie for kids who like the transformers cartoons and toys. The 1994 NYC setting was really cool with lots of little nods to the period, like OJ Simpson on the security guard’s TV was pretty funny.

[@JamesLawner]

Honestly, I think Jeremy is gonna like the animated Transformers movie that’s in the works (Chris Hemsworth is Optimus!)

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Hemsworth as Optimus that is just such an ODD casting choice but I think it could actually work lol

[@sng3939]

Bumblebee was meant to be a prequel but ended up doing well that it’s essentially a reboot. So this movie is the sequel to that movie, in the new rebooted universe.

[@seank7288]

I loved that he kept having to say, “For a live action transformers movie”, we all know why.

[@DESTRAKON]

Here’s hoping for an Armada movie in the future, that was my shit growing up

[@Sanzaru123]

Growing up with Beast Wars as my first transformers show and the lessons and stories it taught my young 5 year old mind who was out in the country with not really any other kids to spend time with way before i started going to school has and always will be a firm cemented contributor to the learning of positive traits and morals, honor and respect along with how and when to react to certain situations with individuals that you general fight with or dislike (i.e the episode silverbolt and rampage fighting over a defective bot named Transmutate that crashed from orbit and cannot transform, only to destroy itself trying to save its two friends from killing each other, ending with Rampage on his knees holding the head of the poor bot, with Optimus then flying in to attempt to detain rampage, ending with silverbolt telling primal that eventually they will get him, but it is not this day for we are both brothers in grief, ending with optimus and silverbolt watching over one of the most dangerous predacons in megatrons ranks down on his knees and inconsolable from the trauma of transmutates sacrifice leaving him alone in respect. and a billion transformers movies from michael bay have been pumped out since then and now im actually hyped to see my transformers finally get a live action inclusion that even if i end up just watching Rhinox, Cheetor, Airrazor and Primal and none of their characteristics were accounted for and its just them wrecking shit.. im still going to be the happiest ive ever been to see a transformers movie.

[@themoviecritic1092]

Finally, someone who's actually familiar with beast wars does an honesr review, personally, yes this was fun to watch with my son in the theater, we both watched beast wars together and I kept a smile on my face but inside I was dying lol, not only were the maximals side characters, they didnt even include rat trap or dino megatron. the potential this movie had.

[@F1989C]

This movie was so much Fun!!! I watched it in IMAX and it was beyond Epic!!! For 80s and 90s kids, there's a lot of nostalgia in this film. And it was great. Even the human Characters aren't beyond Annoying. And with that Easter egg at the end of the film blew my mind with possibilities of where the franchise can go💯💯 this film made me fall back In love with the franchise. It's a lot of Action filled Fun!!!

[@valeksaint654]

The only nostalgia I had was the music, Optimus Prime, and Arcee. I was hoping for a lot more with Unicron. Everything was mixed horribly to me. Glad you enjoyed it at least!

​@Valek Saint I completely agree. It was bad we only had unicorn for a few minutes and no action. The fight scrmebes are done poorly and I'm sick of the decepticons or any bad guy just being gray or no color.

[@norranradd4357]

Glad to hear a good review, very excited for this film.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

"Which we never needed in the animations." STRONGLY disagree one of the key elements of Transformers Prime IS the fact that humanity and Cybertronians ain't so different. In fact one of my favorite lines from the franchise is when Ratchet of all people (someone who wasn't too fond of humanity in the beginning and CONSTANTLY belittled it) said "No he was more like...Jack." when it came to discussing what Optimus was like before back when he was Orion Pax. And Jack immediately balks at the idea. I guess I like it cause it shows that we can tend to think of these beings as larger than life (which they are) but they're just people in the end fighting the good fight just like we do on Earth. So for Ratchet to imply that a human being was more or less like what Optimus Prime USED to be, someone who happened to be chosen to do great things it kinda...reminds us that no real such thing as fate or destiny. Orion didn't NEED to go to Primus and get the Matrix but he did. Megatron didn't NEED to betray Prime but he did. No higher being TOLD them "you must do this". They had their own choice to make. Jack didn't need to follow through and restore Optimus but he did. We make our own choices. Write our own stories. And it just so happens that Earth and Cybertron's stories happen to be intertwined and I love that idea.

[@Dhindsakarmon]

I don’t think Jeremy has really seen or reviewed a recent animated show besides the war for cybertron trilogy I think he stopped beast wars otherwise

[@thelaughingrouge]

I believe he's talking about the 84 show and beast wars shows when he said that.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

@Karmon Dhindsa he watched the war for cybertron series so he does watch some of the new stuff. But to mention the animated content, (to mention the human element really) and NOT think about easily the best piece of transformers media is kinda wild. At least to me. Too many people put beast wars on top but like prime is SOLID and had that human element really well done.

[@Dhindsakarmon]

@@TheRibottoStudios no your right and I agree with you but he’s never mentioned watching prime or has reviewed it he also took a long time to watch an appreciate the clone wars

[@TheRibottoStudios]

@Karmon Dhindsa man he should've used the panini to review it lol. It's not like we were going anywhere he'd have gotten the views lol. I legit think he'd dig it. The show puts a kibosh to the whole "optimus doesn't show any emotion/is never willing to take THAT shot" which is great. And I'm all for Prime having an arc of learning to appreciate and work with humanity cause like Jahns said he's often seen as Robot Jesus. It's part of why so many iterations have him meet and work with humans to bring him to our level of relatability.

[@Nobody-jc7yb]

I just got back from seeing it and can confidently say this is the best film in the franchise!! As good if not BETTER than bumblebee didn’t think I would say that but it is imo… my favorite bay film was dotm and the 07 film and this completely knocks it out of the park…. Great job Steven caple jr im very impressed!!! Solid 9.7/10 I honestly don’t understand the critic scores rn made my dad tear up bc he is a big g1 fan and the bay films lost him… but he said this felt like a true transformers movie and it took everything good from bumblebee and the bay franchise and IMPROVED UPON IT genuinely impressed with this movie the story was FANTASTIC!!!! Only slight criticism I have is the pacing towards the second half… but is easily forgotten due to the 3rd act. EVERY SINGLE JOKE landed even prime made a joke at some point haha overal the best movie so far!!!! I have a strong feeeling the audience score will be a definite 80% or higher… I know that is saying a lot but guys you have to trust me on this one when I say this f

I didn't know what to expect from this one. It wase entertaining but what I like is that they kept it close to the 1986 cartoon movie. Spike, I mean Noah, got his Transformer gear, was awesome to see. But I was waiting for Hot Rod, I mean Mirage, to become some form of RODIMUS-PRIME. Anyone noticed the music when Unicron first appeared in the movie was almost similar to the cartoon movie.
