Mixed Reviews for 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts'

"Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" is the latest installment in the franchise, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and featuring a cast led by Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback. The plot revolves around a rare cosmic device called a trans-warp key that the evil Unicron and its Decepticon-like villains are after. The Maximals, animal-machine hybrids led by Optimus Primal (voiced by Ron Perlman), are also involved in the action. The film's narrative is contrived and the human characters are underdeveloped, but the CGI action sequences are enjoyable. Overall, the movie is forgettable and barely more than meets the eye.

The Mixed Reception of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Director Steven Caple Jr. has teased the possibility of a Hasbro Cinematic Universe that could unite the "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe" brands in a larger story. The surprise appearance of Michael Kelly as a military officer attempting to recruit Anthony Ramos' Noah to join him in an intergalactic war in "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" has been seen as the start of this crossover. Caple hopes to be heavily involved in building out the new cinematic universe, which would begin with a rebooted cast of "G.I. Joe" characters entering the world of "Transformers."

"Transformers: Rise Of The Beast" Review: Action-Packed but Generic.

Transformers: Rise of the Beast, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, and Lauren Luna Velez, boasts impressive action sequences but falls short in terms of storytelling, following a generic plot and lacking nuanced character work. The Maximals offer an exciting dynamic, but the Autobots and humans lack visual texture. The film does make a noteworthy stride in inclusivity, incorporating Peruvian indigeneity into Autobot lore and offering some social commentary. Overall, the film is a typical entry in the Transformers franchise, with plot armor thicker than Optimus Prime's metallic exoskeleton.

Franchise Fatigue Evident in Year's Worst Sci-Fi Reboot.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the latest installment in the Transformers franchise, fails to live up to expectations and proves that franchise fatigue has set in. Directed by Steven Caple Jr., the film lacks the maximalist flair of Michael Bay's previous entries and the tenderness of 2018's Bumblebee. Despite a charismatic performance by Anthony Ramos and an all-star voice cast, the film's surface-level depiction of New York's Afro-Latino communities and lackluster energy make it one of the lesser entries in the franchise.

Pete Davidson Shines in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

The newest Transformers film, Rise of the Beasts, is a genuinely entertaining summer blockbuster, with its high point being Pete Davidson's voice performance as Mirage. The film is set in 1994 and follows Noah and Elena as they help the Transformers and Maximals track down the Trans-Warp Key. The movie keeps things light and fun, moving away from Michael Bay's super-serious vibe.
