Nobody's arguing that Michael Bay's Transformers movies are good, but Rise of the Beasts is bland in such a way that it made tracesauveur miss when blockbusters were made with personality - any personality:
posits itself as the establishment of a new tone and direction for the series, with new, consistent protagonists in the form of Anthony Ramos’ Noah and Dominique Fishback’s Elena.director Steven Caple Jr. takes over directing duties, but mostly seems like a hired hand as the film takes on what is sure to be an overarching house style of generality, content to play events as broadly as possible to make sure everyone is on the same page.
This total void of a movie fatally omits anything in the way of personality while simultaneously trying to exploit familiarity of IP begs a complicated question: Weremovies better with Michael Bay directing them? “Better” may be too simplistic a term for the query at hand, but they were at least more fascinating to watch and possessed a distinct artistic vision, even if that vision was transmitted straight from the unfiltered psyche of a frenzied madman.
films do have their stretches of genuinely staggering, bravura action sequences with a deft understanding of scope, scale and CG implementation within their environments, they’re just as often odious, ugly reflections of a distinctly American vulgarity.
Bay also never seemed satisfied to let the franchise become pure commodification. There’s a level of salesmanship implicit in making a movie franchise based on toys—and as the series progressed, more recognizable elements from the cartoons, like Dinobots, were introduced—but there was a genuine effort from Bay to make the movies he wanted to make without letting the forces of the brand dilute them.
Just as these feel impossible to answer, so does discerning whether or not I even like the Michael Baythere, a steadfast devotion to creative instincts that I admire.
