The movie was too predictable, poor soundtrack selections, and the worst part is the names of the characters. I understand the want of making non-white centered films but this one was too black. I think Michael Bay did a very good job showing many different races and cultures in the human characters AND the transformers, yet Caple Jr. doesn't think that and he thinks that it's too white. He did a good job on removing white race from a movie but it lacks diversity in race and culture. Overall poor story, poor character development, poor storyline, funny jokes tho I will give you that. I think he should take some hint from his previous animated film on transformers ,which was rated even poorer, and leave the transformers franchise alone. I am not going to compare to the Michael Bay transformers-verse, but he should learn how to give a character a background story and how to connect it with the current timeline that the movie is taking place in. 0 information how the Maximals ended up on earth, how did they got separated, how calm the movie is named Rise of the Beasts, while there was 0 supporting stories on the Maximals. And the CGI is terrible! Why the autobots looks just like the first gen animation autobots. I think the whole thing was copied off of the original transformers animation and didn't even try to make it look authentic or at least nicer and realistic or logical. SPOILERS: For example Mirage is originally is porsche 911, which is a tiny car, but somehow he transformed into a huge dump truck which was even bigger than Optimus Prime, and after he just turns into a human suit, why? how calm RC can't turn into a car and hides inside another transformer and Mirage can transform into anything no matter the size. And why the primary villain Scourge looks exactly like Ultron from Marvel Universe, and even talks and acts like him. Im going to stop here because there are a lot to talk about on how bad the movie was and I can't remember any good things about it.
