Current Events > Just watched Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought that one was entertaining. I've mostly grown tired of the human element in Transformers movies, but I thought this one at least made more use of them in important ways. Suspension of disbelief is tough in some parts, but overall I thought it was a cool movie.

I really liked the soundtrack, too.

It was cool, Bumblebee wound up being really good also. Hopefully it's a trend for some better Transformers movies after a few stinkers.

Mediocre movie.

Didn't give Airrazor a robot mode, no good shots of Cheetor and Rhinox in robot mode, all of the villains were cookie cutter characters, Unicron was not scary, also did not get a robot mode, Mirage was borderline annoying.

Best thing about the movie was Optimus. His facial expressions were a lot more organic and visible than in previous movies, and his emotional range was wider this time too.

Noah is fine, but the story relied too much on Elena to lead them where to go next.

Yeah the human characters weren't annoying this time around like the Bayformer movies, but there was A LOT of stupid that you come to expect from a Bayformer movie as well. I was hoping this movie would tone down on that, but it's also a movie with giant transforming robots so I took the movie for what it is. But yeah they kind of did the maximals dirty. Cheetor was barely a character and Rhinox didn't even have a fucking line.

It felt monkey a Saturday morning cartoon. Immensely enjoyable.
