While the film's current critic score of 54% falls short of its highly acclaimed predecessor, Bumblebee, the audience score for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is impressive, with an 88% rating based on 500 verified ratings, surpassing the previous franchise best of 85% held by 2007's Transformers, based on 250,000 ratings.

How Rise Of The Beasts Redefines Transformers Movies

The ratings of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, both from critics and audiences, are reminiscent of the first Transformers film. However, this latest installment aims to redefine the franchise by breaking away from the canon established by Michael Bay's original five films. Set in the '90s, the film follows the same timeline as Bumblebee and features the villain Unicron, a departure from the previous film where Unicron is Earth itself. With two sequels reportedly in the works, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts could be the fresh start the franchise needs. The film's success at the box office may also be boosted by its high audience score, indicating that audience enjoyment could be a key factor in its success.

In Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, viewers will be introduced to the Maximals, led by Optimus Primal, and the Terrorcons, led by Scourge. These new groups of Transformers will offer both allies and adversaries to the story, creating a unique and fresh feel for the movie. The fact that neither group has been portrayed in live-action before adds to the excitement and anticipation for fans. It will be interesting to see how this new take on the franchise will impact the audience score and overall success of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
