Transformers: Rise of the Beasts may have some issues, but it is the best Transformers movie I’ve seen since the first one!!!

What I Like:

-Many things worked for this film, the action was great, but you know we would get that, but I like it that the film was short and to the point, it wasn’t as exhausting as the other films
-There was actual good character developments with their human cast, I actually cared for Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback’s character, and the Maximals as well, the voice cast was great, even Pete Davidson as Mirage
-Even the villains were terrifying with Scourge and the rest, made the battles more intense

The So So:

-I’m basing this off a feeling, this took place before the original Transformers film, and after the Bumblebee movie, it does explain why Optimus Prime and the gang were there to begin with, but before the original Transformers movie I see a lot of continuity issues with it, especially with the way it ended (you need to see it to know what I mean), maybe I’m overthinking it, or maybe there will be one more movie before the original to explain things, but there are some things that don’t add up

What I Didn’t Like:

-The story with everything is very cliched, and seen before, nothing really new to the table

Overall:

I really enjoyed this Transformers film. You get what you pay for with robots beating the living crap out of each other. Now with the Maximals, it does add a cool angle to this franchise (plus the crazy ending). Yes it does have its issues with their story and my theories on continuity issues, but in the end, it was fun to watch and not as exhausting as their past films. It does look like they are going to the right direction with this franchise, but I hope it doesn’t wear out its welcome either!!!

(Sidenote: Missing – This stand alone sequel to Searching follows a great mystery story using the gimmick of showing it through the internet and technology that we use today. Though the Internet and technology stuff seem cool and even creepy at times, the gimmick does get old. With that said, I really enjoyed the mystery story with all the twist and turns it made. It kept me engaged from beginning to end!!!
