When All Hell’s Breaking Loose

You’ll Be Right in the Eye of the Storm

[sunstreakerapologist]

Can we talk about Bumblebee quoting Dead Poet's Society? Because Bumblebee looking to Optimus, fully aware that he is going to die in front of someone who loves him and feels responsible for him, and his last words are "Oh Captain, my Captain", words which mean, in the context of Dead Poet's Society, the world may not see you as a good leader, but I do. He's telling Optimus he's doing his best in the only way he can.

But Optimus has no clue since he can't go to the drive in.

Transformers - Rise of the Beasts thoughts...

I have a pretty mixed history with the Transformers movies. I really enjoyed the first one. Even when I have rewatched it, the first Michael Bay film holds up. It has far less annoying adults and created a pretty good layer of mystery behind the Autobots and the Decepticons. The Bayverse fell apart after that. Revenge of the Fallen was pretty terrible outside of a memorable action scene in the forest. Dark of the Moon was acceptable, mainly due to a phenomenal last hour of mayhem. Age of Extinction was an interminable slog, and The Last Knight was so bad that it was hard to follow. Bumblebee was nice, though it openly was an ET ripoff of sorts. Rise of the Beasts, in context, is probably the second or third best Transformers film. Which isn't saying much but it was surprisingly decent. The one thing I liked was that the film moved away from the Bumblebee and Optimus Prime focus. Optimus is still very much front and center, but we have Mirage as the Transformer who is the one who connects with the human characters. On top of that, the human characters are pretty likable. There are only 2-3 human characters of note and they are used effectively enough. Another thing I enjoyed was Optimus was a much more flawed character than he has been in the past. In all the Bayverse films, he was a noble leader with no flaws and endless compassion for humans. For a lack of a better term, he felt a bit more human in this film, because we see the character nursing guilt over what has happened with his fellow Transformers, having an initial disregard for humans and Earth's safety for the sake of the Transformers he leads. Not to mention, he is less invincible as a fighter. The Maximals are also pretty cool though only Primal and Airazor have substantial roles. But they are at least used better than how Dinobots were used in Age of Extinction. The Terrocons were pretty formidable villains, particularly Scourge. His entry scene is pretty well done. Unicron also looks quite awesome.

The story is nothing to really speak of. Its another Mcguffin leading to Transformers teaming up with humans, in order to stop a world ending event. The action is good. It doesn't quite have the style of Bayverse but its much more coherent. The Optimus Prime vs Scourge fights are a highlight. The performances are solid. Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback are solid and likable. Obviously, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime is awesome as always. Pete Davidson as Mirage is pretty good. Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal, Peter Dinklage as Scourge, and Michelle Yeoh as Airazor are the other highlights in the voice cast. The film's pacing is a little slow at times, but overall Steven Caple Jr. made a pretty decent Transformers movie. The action is good and the film doesn't overstay its welcome. I would say its about a 7/10.

Noah feels it’s a bit of a shame he can’t kiss Mirage’s insignia.

Someone save Isami... please

I almost choked and died watching the first two episodes of Bang Brave Bang Bravern holy crap- If the Lost Light crew was a headache to Megs, Bravern would single-handedly cause him to have 2 spark failures and put him into 4 year long coma
