The film’s early reviews are on the positive side. MovieWeb’s own Julian Roman enjoyed the sequel, happy with how it “cherry-picks the best parts of franchise lore and repurposes them with better defined characters.”
“Transformers: Rise of the Beastscontinues the better narrative footing established byBumblebee," Roman wrote inhis review. “The sequel of sorts again reshapes the franchise with an action-packed, throwback adventure loaded with exciting new characters.”
Perhaps if enough fans enjoy the film as well, there will be much more to come in this narrative followingRise of the Beasts. Director Steven Caple Jr. is hoping that the movie will be given multiple direct sequels and teased that bringing in Unicron could be just a small taste of what all there is to do with that character in a live-actionTransformersworld.
“I introduced Unicron,” he toldDen of Geek. “I was dying for Unicron to show up in a live-action movie, and to be honest, I’ll put it out there, I want him to be across the next two or three films, a really huge major villain. I feel like we spent a lot of time on Earth, and it’d be interesting to see what else is out there, there are different Transformers and different planets, and we just need the right vehicle and the right team to really do it. I feel like this was the foundation of that, of something really special.”
We’ll find out very soon what the fans largely think about the new movie.Transformers: Rise of the Beastswill be released in movie theaters on August 13, 2025.
