AppFlicks Exclusive Review:
Have you watched Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) yet? I caught the film on its opening weekend and while I have nothing bad to say about it, I really have nothing exciting to add. The cast was fine, special effects were fantastic, with a basic story that is both repetitiously predicable and unnecessarily preachy. Honestly, I was waiting for this film to transform into something exciting and it never did…well, until the end credit scene, which confirmed, what I expected when first seeing Noah (Anthony Ramos), in a familiar exoskeleton, that Transforms and G.I. Joe, may some day, share IPs on the big screen, in an upcoming adventure.
