    1:56 The Rise of Skywalker comparison is incredibly apt at least for me personally with this movie. I never really thought of the potential similarities in terms of plot but it is in a way eerily similar to that movie in how it almost gets it. It takes all the charm and improvements of Bumblebee... and mixes it in with what feels like studio mandated nonsense that tries to inject the Bayverse into places it does not belong and as a result makes a confused frustrating mess that I feel is only getting praise purely because it's at least somewhat more coherent than the Bay films.

      No i dont think its perfect its not perfect at all i think it deserves more ground then Just saying its the worst of the transformers movies the lowest bar when we really havent seen where they are taking it its only the second movie in the this new cannon and i like that they are going for a more comic and orginal cannon based story if theres something i hated was the bay films were trying to separate to much for the orgin of its creation and i personally would love to see where it goes, the movie is only a few weeks old opinions may change even mine, wants pieces find there places and people find the details

      @@KattySpring First off, this post is incredibly confusing to follow and very poorly organized. I don't usually comment on stuff like that but I had to say it because I had such a hard time parsing what it was you just said. Next, I never said ROTB is the worst of the TF films. If anything, the TROS comparison is especially apt because TROS is also not the worst Star Wars film. Both are movies that do try to follow off of their prior films in cool ways but then it's mixed in with studio-mandated garbage that results in a film that's basically diet Bayverse. Yes there's Unicron the way he has always been but he's barely in the film and this is only the second outing. It's kind of following off of canon while doing its own thing with the Maximals but the Maximals are BARELY in the film and are so clearly not the focus.
      Then there's what we've been hearing about it from the production side and honestly? I have no desire to see where this story goes beyond morbid curiosity because it's clear Paramount is not thinking of making good movies first, they're just thinking they got lucky people liked Bumblebee and thus they can just dive into their cinematic universe plans and it's only because the bar has been set so unbelievably low thanks to the Bay films it's getting praise.

    The trailers were extremely deceptive in regards to the characterization. They led us to believe that they made Optimus back into the noble hero we all know and love, but in the movie he's just a disgruntled war veteran. The only reason we even know that he supposedly cares for humans and his fellow bots is because we're told so by Arcee, it sure as hell doesn't come across in his actions or personality.

    The movie misused the maximals, and most autobots (Stratosphere was great, and support having bumblebee on the sideline for most of the film) Rhinox never spoke and Cheetor barely done anything, while Arcee and pablo were non-consequential extras taking taking screentime from the maximals
    Even the bad guys were underutlized, they done those seasmingly unstopable killing machines dirty in the final act. Dropkick and shatter felt like actually treaths during bumblebee, while in this movie Battletrap/nightbird never done anything significant other than show-up, fight secondary character and be imediatly defeated when confronting major ones
    Primal doesn't even question how airrazor group perished (who I assume were rattrap, dinobot and tigatron) and those character din't even appear at the begining. Don't say ressource/time-constrain because they modeled dozens of cybertronian in bumblebee and still found time to redesign Arcee/Pablo without forgeting Apelinq who appeared at the begining aswell
    Elena was the worse, the actress is quite untalented and she technically almost caused the end of the world by snooping around some random statu- ok what the fuck airrazor, how did you lose one piece of the single most important magunten your faction ow- what the fuck maximals, why din't you guys simply destroy the key when you had the chance especially since it is the one thing unicron need to locate suitable planet to consume and you clearly don't need it!
    Only two perished in Rise of the beast (Apelinq killed by Scourge, and rusted Airrazor who primal was forced to execute) unless you count the second group (who we still don't who/why/how) and the police officer/security guard which bring me to..
    Why does mirage kill police officers ? At the exeption of one, there is no-way they survive those crashes. Not gonna start some political debate but those who made this movie talked about diversity, black culture, braged about their first transgender voice actor, had three race joke (of various caliber) sorry to think that choice might have been poltically influenced.. by the way why does Noah make a big deal about Pablo spanish accent but doesn't question (best character) stratosphere heavy scottish accent?
    Remember when excalibur (weilded by Cade) somehow could block giant-sword in the last knight? Less weird but still odd that Noah held Optimus prime while he was being sucked into the portal, that very same portal which was strong enough to destroy the entire battelfield, despite wearing mirage
    Great.. they are doing the 'expanded universe' crap with other hasbro properties. What, is cobra gonna allie himself with the decepticons when they come to earth?
    They used unicron way too early. Imagine if the MCEU had thanos just show-up in the first avenger film during the invasion, instead of slowly building him up into the mad-titan we followed in infinity war?

    You literally broke down the most basic troupes from action movies in the last 20years and said its the reason why RotB is bad meaning youre saying all action movies ate bad. The worst part about it is that you took on that surface level stuff and ignored the deeper things. The parallel of Optimus and Noah, the guilt they both feel because of their families being lost then their interactions with Primial how they both see this being that has lot everything and literally carries tbe weight of his race and world on his shoulders that help both charactwrs come to terms with their own problem. You never touched the struggles that noah faces trying to get a job and is blown offbythe man because he cared about his family and because he wasnt white. The conflict that bee and prime had right before bees death. So much more that i can go on all day.
    Yes if you only pay attention to the surdace level tropes that movie the story forward. You say the movie was bad but if you look beyond the surface and take in the things going on you can see they put actual heart into this movie same with bumblebee. It was something missing from Bay's popcorn flix. Was it a mess at times? Yes, Did it break new ground? No. But it did more than the orginal transformers movies did to try to tell an actual story.

    You know, I have to give the Bayformer fans some credit here. When those movies were fresh and I called them bad, they didn't care or at most did the online equivalent of yelling NERD as they drive past. This movie gets a bad review, and there's four dozen people in here trying to relitigate all of action film to make this bad film secretly good somehow.

    One thing I feel critics who are trying to be extremely objective need to remember when reviewing something based on other source material is that the movie needs to be critiqued within the confines of the source material and not of movies in general. For instance you can't have a problem with Spider-Man's Black Suit, you can have a problem with how it's implemented in the movie but you can't have a problem with it as a plot device because it's part of the source material and therefore the best it can be is faithful to the source material and the worst it can be is far removed from it.
    Or in this case you can't critique "an angry god eager to feed on the world of man" because eating planets, just like Galactus, is what Unicron does. Any movie that features Unicron is going to feature that plot and therefore that is not something you can critique. You can however critique the implementation of jumping the shark and turning the Earth itself into Unicron and then dedicating the entire movie to stopping the reveal of the headliner that was meant to put asses on seats because that would literally destroy the Earth such as was the case in the real worst movie of the Transformers franchise, The Last Knight.

    • @MasterN64
      @MasterN64 Рік тому +5

      @Mast3rBlast3r "the movie needs to be critiqued within the confines of the source material" No absolutely not. It doesnt matter what the source material is or how close something sticks to it at the end of the day. The only thing that matters is how well a movie is made and how entertaining it is. Nothing gets a free pass simply because it was in the source material. Movies like this are not some kind of niche market meant to appeal solely to the fans of the source materials but to appeal to a mass market. If you have to cling onto every vestigial limb and dumb choice that doesnt work simply because it was in the original to appease the fans then you are doing everything wrong. The simple face is that the critique of some plot points or characters being absolutely generic and asinine is still a valid complaint no matter how long it was in the franchise or when it was printed. There is a point where adhering to the original is a detriment and not a strength. Many things work well in some markets that existed in some period in history but absolutely do not translate to the modern day.

      I REALLY enjoyed this film. There is no reality where this film is worse than the last Bay films. This movie is not peak cinema. No where close to it. But it is fun. You need to set your expectations this way. Don't go in for the story, or a complex plot. You go to a Transformers movie to see silly car robots fighting other car robots. It's goofy, it's silly, it's wacky. It's fun. This film is a TRANSFORMERS movie. If you DON'T like Transformers, you might not like this movie. If you DO like Transformers, or are just looking for a fun weekend action movie. Then go for it.
