lovingly directed it for his live-action debut, taking inspiration from '80s coming-of-age dramas like 'ET', 'Flight of the Navigator' and 'The Goonies'. Hailee Steinfeld imbued the central role with real warmth. John Cena channelled his manic energy into a convincingly funny and self-effacing role, and the script by Christina Hodson was smart but simple - exactly what you want from a summer family adventure movie.
'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' has absolutely none of these qualities. The two human leads, Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, are completely devoid of charm, and the script - which has FIVE credited writers - doesn't even bother to develop them in any real, convincing way. They're just movable chum in the waves of CGI sludge that throw itself across the screen.
Steve Caple Jr., who previously directed 'Creed II', feels like an odd choice for this kind of movie. It's entirely possible that the movie's tone and script shifted under his feet as he entered production, and what's on screen is very little of what was originally planned or intended.
A truly galling moment comes in the final scene of 'Rise of the Beasts', which ropes in another franchise long past its sell-by date and tries to juice it up with a move right out of the playbook of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from fifteen years ago, and sullies the good name of a great actor who - again, like so many of the actors in this - is far better than this thing needs or deserves. 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' is joyless, unoriginal garbage.
