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

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 .

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)
