Transformers 7: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
 

I loved Beast Wars growing up, and while Bayformers is trash, this could be cool.

I have to interject and say that the FIRST Bay Transformers movie is actually an excellent popcorn action movie. Silly? Absolutely, but it got the balance near spot-on.

Everything after that, sadly, yes is absolute trash.

first 3 films were great, after that it felt refreshing to go from Shia to Wahlberg as the lead human character, and i thought he did a decent acting performance too, as well as the LEGENDARY Sir Anthony Hopkins in a fabulous role + we even had (now late) star trek iconic ''spock'' Leonard Nimoy in a brilliant voice role as Sentinel Prime


the human villains well Patrick Dempsey played a great villain, so did Kelsey Grammer


i think it's clever to go venturing into ''beast wars'' now and i am looking forward to it, definitely a cool trailer, new human lead characters makes sense too, since after last one, deffo got a vibe like Yaeger's storyline somewhat ended too

Like yeah the first one is good, but it has the same thing that a lot of the others do, which is they're hard to remember? I don't know how to explain it but somehow, something about them makes them hard to retain?

I can't agree I'm afraid, the second one was a forgettable cash-in on the first, and the third ended up just silly, with replacing Meghan Fox with a different character except the role and script made it really obvious that it was originally meant to be Meghan Fox :umm2:.

I will confess that I'm not sure if I've seen any of them beyond those three. Maybe I saw the first Wahlberg one actually? If I did I clearly didn't rate it; I can barely even remember it.

I should have prefaced all of this by saying that I genuinely love the first movie, I think it stacks up with the very best of "mostly mindless popcorn movies" and it was a great cinema experience. Also - while it's obviously a CGI intensive franchise - it balanced the human and CGI elements well (everything past the first one went too heavy on the CGI at the expense of human-interaction scenes)

See I disagree I think it has several memorable scenes that I quote to this day :laugh:

"Sleep good, handsome man!"

Also, this whole scene. "You eyeballin' my piece fiddy cent??"

Transformers 4 is the longest most boring episode of Frasier ever :joker:

well if only Meghan wasn't too much of a diva then she wouldn't have been replaced :laugh:

i like Rosie anyway, Statham's girl btw

Patrick Dempsey playing an absolute unlikeable piece of **** (well he played that very well, even though he is always known for being the nation's sweetheart hunky McDreamy and also clever role to incorporate some of his in real life racing successes for that role too)


''barely even remember it''

umm first one with Wahlberg also had top class actor Stanley Tucci in his first transformers, and who doesn't love the dino bots

and Bates Motel's Nicola Peltz as Cade's daughter Tessa
