Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - MOVIE REVIEW

Hey everyone, here we go again... the latest Transformers film - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - has now hit theaters in my local market and to say I was skeptical would be an understatement. I've grown up owning a LARGE amount of Transformers toys and enjoying some of the early material but these movies really burned me by Age of Extinction and The Last Knight. I'm a fan of Steven Caple Jr's work from Creed II so I was really pulling for him to make the first great MAINLINE Transformers movie (I REALLY liked Bumblebee). So, is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts another bad entry in this long-running franchise or have they finally figured out how to make this iconic toy line work on the big screen? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review.
