Transformers RiseOfTheBeasts is no better or worse than most of the franchise, but it is a step down from Bumblebee and that's a shame.
will thrill a particular segment of the fanbase for the respect paid to the Maximals from the beloved animated series Beast Wars, but for most of us, that means nothing. Coming off the best film in the series,, Beasts falls prey to what bogs down the first few films in the franchise. The human characters barge in at the wrong moments, and the final act devolves into a loud, confusing mess that will remind of other films that did it better.
Another hallmark of these films is the human characters butting in when they shouldn't. This film featuresat the center, and he does an okay job. Ditto for our two other humans, his brother, played by. The problem is, again, one that has plagued all of these movies. Whenever the worst possible moment for a"Let's check in with the humans and see what they are doing!" cut, that is when it happens.
Transformers is not without its charms. As stated, the Maximals, when given screentime, are excellent. The first battle between robots is well staged. Some of the humor also works, thoughMirage provides most of it and misses more than it hits. The 90's setting is fun and not beaten into you like most nostalgia plays have been in recent years: great soundtrack, too, no spoilers but some really good needle drops in there.
All in all, though, the last 45 minutes is a long, neverending battle scene that falls into the same category as the other Transformers films. Everything blends together into a weird blob of noise. Play this scene for anyone, and they would be hard-pressed to tell you which film it is from unless they saybecause the battle is not for note the same. This is a middle-of-the-road action film, nothing more, nothing less.
