First Reactions for TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS and It Might Actually Be a Really Good Movie!

I’ll be honest, I really haven’t been that excited about Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. I’m a huge fan of the franchise, but judging from the trailers, the movie looks like more of Michael Bay’s Transformers style and less of what we got with Travis Knight’s Bumblebee movie, which I loved.

The first reactions for the movie have now hit social media and it looks like this movie might actually be really good, better than I’m expecting. Some say it’s better than the Bay films, which is a plus! They are also saying the movie is a lot of fun!

Seeing these reactions actually makes me feel a bit more optimistic about the movies. So we’ll see! Maybe I’ll actually be pleasantly surprised by the movie.

#Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts is really fun. It’s actually quite funny and the action is strong. I did find my eyes glazing over when they’d talk about this movie’s special object (this series sure loves those) but way better than Bay’s movies if not quite Bumblebee level.

The new #Transformers movie is pretty solid! LOVE the Brooklyn setting - Maximals & Scourge add a new spin & the action pops, especially the NY scenes. Mirage steals the show, but the true star is the absolute best soundtrack full of early ‘90s hip-hop hits. This ‘90s kid had fun pic.twitter.com/YV3IfFewlU

#Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts was a blast! The Beast Wars crew finally shows up in what's arguably the BEST Transformers movie in the run. There's a lot of heart, humor, and Brooklyn pride in here; and it all makes for throwback popcorn fun. #TilAllAreOne #BrooklynBaby pic.twitter.com/GPnjs5KSOr

Totally dug #Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts. It’s got some issues in the middle but it starts strong, has fantastic 90s hip hop, makes great use of the humans & the 3rd act is a blast. Plus I damn near jumped out of my seat at the end. Right up there with the 1st Bay & Bumblebee. pic.twitter.com/Hf1yPqGXWE

#Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts delivers one of the better and more coherent installments in the franchise. They clearly understood what worked so well with 2018’s Bumblebee as ROTB has heart and the human characters are more likable. Mirage will walk away as the fan favorite. pic.twitter.com/8gZEA7dMDW

Just saw #Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts and it's a total BLAST! There are lots of references to the Transformers Universe that will wow fans. Antony Ramos is amazing as Noah and the team is great as always, but the real standout is Pete Davidson as Mirage. Don't miss it June 7! pic.twitter.com/LBlmmOFgyb

#Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts makes good use of the animated movie's storyline and integrates the Maximals and Terrorcons to good effect. Stakes are high and Scourge is a terrifying and powerful villain. Action-packed with a lot of heart (albeit with some cheese on top). pic.twitter.com/SsMNnq6ZqH

#Transformers: Rise of the Beasts plays like the ultimate Saturday morning cartoon.

Some dope Transformers action. Anthony Ramos & Pete Davidson are great, even if some of the dialogue is a little clunky. It’s a lean, fun movie and a promising start to something exciting. pic.twitter.com/8Z75rnlgjS

#Transformers Rise of the Beast is a blast! Director Steven Caple Jr brought his style with 90s hip hop and heart while also pouring his love for the Transformers and Beast Wars. The biggest inspiration is the 80s animated movie. Mirage will be the new favorite Autobot. pic.twitter.com/LxZbnaIiul

The movie “will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – to join them as allies in the existing battle for earth.”

Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II) directed the film, and it also stars Luna Lauren Valez, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, and Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal. The film also stars Peter Dinklage as Scourge, Michelle Yeoh as Airazor, Pete Davidson as Mirage, Liza Koshy, John DiMaggio, David Sobolov, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, and Cristo Fernández.
