Transformers: Rise of the Beasts — The Curse of Emptiness | Anatomy of a Failure

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is another Transformers blockbuster without Michael Bay, and it pays the price for it. It's the biggest Transformers flop in theaters so far and it adds almost nothing to the franchise. It just makes you wish that Shia Labeouf's Sam Witwicky was still here, and yes, even that Megan Fox was still here. Instead, Rise of the Beasts offers things like animal transformers called Maximals that are barely in the movie and final battles in an empty cgi jungle that pales in comparison with Dark of the Moon for example. The movie is sort of empty, as many modern bad Hollywood movies often are. In today's Anatomy of a Failure, let's see what that means and how to avoid it.

Filmento weekly video challenge continues. Flash is next. Do you think it'll be a positive or negative video?

“How is Pete Davidson able to be in every movie… and every woman…” truly one of the mysteries of all time

[KineticKey]

props to Scourge for finally get through Bumblebee's plot armour.

To me the problem with rise of the beast is that, they tried to do too much, that they kinda lost sight on a lot of things

[adityaXsingh]

The person whom i missed the most is Steve Jablonsky. I still often listen to his soundtracks from first 3 transformers, literally masterpiece. Music in this movie was also hallow and empty.

Also, after this movie I realised the actual worth of 1st transformers movie, they did it the first time and did almost everything right.

[daevion]

Optimus Versus Megatron, Starscream, and Grindor is still by far the most badass Fight that Prime has been into. It really showcased his skill and worthiness as a Prime/Knight.

[FOF]

It honestly sucks that standards have dropped so low because a lot of movies/shows have been mediocre. Now something decent is considered a 10/10

[LostStudios]

Your point on why Optimus is conflicted by being on earth is justified. In a deleted scene it reveals they have no ship and that Autobots are being killed on Cybertron making Optimus try to get back asap to save the Autobots. If they kept that one scene it, Optimus character ark would have been 1000x better.

[bored_potato]

Personally, I like their approach to a version of Optimus that doesn't automatically gives his trust to humanity. Bumblebee likely told him everything from his time so far on earth, both about Charlie and the soldiers who aligned with the Decepticons for their own gain.

While yes, I get that Optimus is generally a figure of nobility, kindness, and basically everything that makes up a "perfect" leader, and yet something that's typically overlooked by the audience is that he's still a leader who's endured, and is still enduring, a war that's been lasting for eons---so much so that it turned their home world uninhabitable. However, I do agree that there should have been more scenes that explained his distrust like mentioning the temporary decepticon alliance the army had in the previous movie.

The saddest part of this movie is the people saying we can't critique them for some reason, even though they would shit on the Bay movies every time they had a chance.

[maydayman]

The biggest compliment I can give the movie, is that I don't regret watching it. All in all it's better than recent Marvel, but it's obviously nowhere near the potential the Transformers franchise has to offer

[ellorasg]

I personally think Transformers should be an episode series. There is so much content that seems to be just skimmed over, like has anyone read the comics. There is a lot going on in there.

[theodorehodbor]

I think the biggest sin this movie committed was they made fucking *Unicron* of all things feel underwhelming. The way he was introduced just felt so low-energy and bland, like he was just a footnote despite being one of the most iconic things in the whole series.
I wouldn't have even complained if they just straight up copied 1-for-1 his intro in the first animated movie, literally anything would've been better than what we got.

[joec]

One thing that Bay's tranformers got right is scale as well. When ever you cut a bay action scene, it feels like absolute titans clashing

[krislyons]

One of the best parts of the Michael Bay movies was the score and soundtrack. I don't think any of the recent Transformers movies have even come close to living up to them in that regard.

[reddragon]

Scourge not killing the human instantly after grabbing him got on my nevres. Also Optimus having his whole squad alive in the end while Primal's squad continues taking L's is down right dirty.

[nelsonnovember]

You know. One thing i really liked abt sam as a protagonist was just how average he was. He didnt need a forced sob story or skills the plot required. He was just a normal kid thrown into a galactic conflict. Thats why it was alot easier to relate to him

[SpectralSound.]

I really enjoyed the movie.My problem with it was the lack of screen time of Cheetor and Rhinox.They were soo great in Beast Wars.

[ButchersNailsEnjoyer]

There was something about Bayformers that felt gritty. Like all the characters especially the soldiers were all sweaty and dirty after every battle, pieces of transformers were blown and shot off during every fight, you felt the impact of every explosion and a lot of real dust and debris was always being kicked around. Almost every battle genuinely felt like everyone including the transformers were being pushed to their physical limit.

[spiderjai]

I honestly agree. I did like the movie but I only liked the movie because I know a lot about transformers so things made sense to ME. But my dad who only watched bayverse fell asleep twice and was confused during the movie
