Bumblebee fared better with audiences than Transformers: Rise of the Beasts because the franchise didn’t learn the right lessons from its success.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Transformers is arguably one of the most well-known franchises in Hollywood, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' underwhelming box office returns confirms the series hasn't learned the right lessons from the success of Bumblebee.
Transformers Needed Fewer Explosions & Action Scenes, Not More, After Michael Bay Character-driven and Transformers aren't typically synonymous, but Bumblebee's positive reception proved that character-centric stories might be exactly what the franchise needs. While Bumblebee's box office performance wasn't insanely impressive considering the franchise's track record, it undoubtedly received more critical praise than Rise of the Beasts.
Bumblebee's Intimate Story Is Exactly Why The Movie Worked Something that would have significantly improved Bay's Transformers movies is more fleshed-out human characters and a greater focus on crafting meaningful relationships between them and the Autobots. While previous human characters gave audiences some hilarious moments, they ultimately felt hollow and bogged the story down.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Struggled To Balance Characters & Action Considering Bumblebee's impressive 91% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, one could fairly assume that the future movies would continue in a similar direction, replicating the same success over and over. However, with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the franchise got a taste of its usual critical underperformance.
