Yet another Transformers movie to capture nostalgia. This time Michael Bay is not directing it, just producing it. The sheer mention of his name is enough to invoke nonsensical action regardless of how silly it can be. I really thought ROTB would be along with the worst Transformers movies like The Last Knight but surprisingly it didnt end up being rubbish.
If you enjoyed watching Bumblebee, then you will enjoy watching ROTB cos they are pretty similar to each other. The nostalgia is one and the other is it isnt directed by Michael Bay.
To be honest, I've never liked Prime. Even when I used to watch the cartoons in the 80s. I always felt he was quite useless and a really shit leader. And this trait is consistent from the cartoons to the movies. So in ROTB, he is still a fuckall leader that shouts most of the time. Optimus Primal of the maximals was definitely cooler than Prime. I used to watch Beast Wars as well. The Maximals protrayed here were decent. The VO cast is pretty amazing as well. Michelle Yeoh as Airazor was not too bad. Ron Perlman did a decent Primal as well. I totally enjoyed Peter Dinklage as Scourge and Pete Davidson as Mirage. These two pretty much stole the show.
Of course there were silly ridiculous scenes in ROTB but they were bearable and the 2 awesome scenes towards the end outdid the silly ones. That one cock scene really gave me the Megaman vibe. The song they chose for the bumblebee scene was perfect and it was so fun to watch. I have to say that scene alone is worth the ticket money. The other scene with the Autobots and Maximals was cool too.
All in all, Transformers: Rise of the Beast is fun to watch if you enjoyed the Bumblebee movie. If you didn't like that, then dont bother watching this in the cinemas.
There is a post credit scene so wait for it.
