The cast includes Luna Lauren Velez, Liza Koshy, Peter Dinklage, John DiMaggio, Pete Da🌳vidson, Cristo Fernandez, Ron Perlman, David Sobolov, Tongayi Chirisa, and Tobe Nwigwe.
"Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is really fun. It’s actually quite funny and the action is strong. I did find my eyes glazing over when they’d talk🐷 about this movie’s special object (this series sure loves those) but way better than Bay’s movies if not quite Bumblebee level," Eric Goldman of FANDOM.
"The new Transformers movie is pretty solid! LOVE the Brooklyn setting - Maximals & Scourge add a new spin & the action pops, especially the NY scenes. Mirage steals the show, but the true star is the absolute best soundtrack full of earl🀅y ‘90s hip-hop hits. This &✨lsquo;90s kid had fun," Fandango's Erik Davis.
"It was a blast! The Beast Wars crew finally shows up in what's arguably the BEST Transformers movie in the 🧔run. There'ꦡs a lot of heart, humor, and Brooklyn pride in here; and it all makes for throwback popcorn fun," Mike Reyes from Cinemablend.
"Totally dug Transfomers: Rise of the Beasts," Gizmodo's Germain Lussier. "It’s got som🗹e issues in the middle but it starts strong, has f꧑antastic 90s hip hop, makes great use of the humans & the 3rd act is a blast. Plus I damn near jumped out of my seat at the end. Right up there with the 1st Bay & Bumblebee.

#Transformers #RiseOfTheBeasts delivers one of the better and more coherent installments in the franchise. They clearly understood what worked so well with 2018’s Bumblebee as RꦛOTB has heart and the human characters are more likable. Mirage will walk away as the fan favorite. pic.twitter.com/8gZEA7dMDW
