Peter Cullen to Transformers is like Stan Lee to Marvel, he deserves to be in a featurette. Peter Cullen is in his 80s, but is still giving it his all as Optimus Prime! Absolute Legend!

Kudos to Chris for shouting out "Reboot" near the beginning of this review. It's one of the most overlooked, yet groundbreaking animated shows of all time.

After Transformers: The Last Knight, it is refreshing to see blockbusters that have fun with their premise instead of using it as a dower studio checklist. Additionally, Transformers Prime has an underrated direct-to-video animated film that is an epilogue to that excellent series.

I hope it does well because I want to see more Beast Wars characters return. The fact Dinobot isn’t here is a crime!

For those of you who weren't around to appreciate Beast Wars back in the 90's, seeing Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal in the same scene is absolutely mind-blowing and means everything to us.

Watching Chris make a movie, being appreciative of his audience is so heartwarming. As someone who has been watching Chris for years, I hope he succeeds as a film maker. God speed man

That ending, tho. I'm surprised you didn't mention it (without spoiling it, of course). I was caught by surprise by it, and it made me quite excited for the future of this franchise.

Honest movie review! It was highly entertaining; and what's more important is that it didn't feel 'cluttered' for non-TF fans who could warm up to the storyline somewhat seamlessly. Keep the passion burning! 🤩

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon grossed $1.136 billion worldwide, the highest-grossing movie in the franchise to date.

Hearing that the characters are treated with a lot more care makes me all the more excited to see the film this week. Its been a while since the franchise properly respected the characters, so I'm glad this film is giving the Transformers their proper and well deserved screentime

Just watched this movie and absolutely loved it. Mirage was probably my favourite character out of them all, I found him to be very funny and entertaining. I was actually sad when I thought the character was going to die. Loved all the references to the 90s and even references to G1. The tie in to G.I. Joe was definitely a nice callback to the marvel comics. This might mean that the military we see work with the transformers will be the joes. Could this perhaps be Hasbros attempt to relaunch the joes into live action if so I’m all for it. My only complaints with the movie were we needed more scenes of the maximals and the Terrorcons. I’d have loved Unicron to have saved scourge somehow at the last minute so we could see him again.

I loved Beast Wars when it first came out and am just now revisiting it on Tubi, and you're absolutely correct. If you can get past the dated computer animation, the stories, themes, characters and voice acting were all SO good. I'd love to see a BW-exclusive live action film featuring the story arc from the show.

This is one of the reasons why I love Chris Stuckman’s reviews. He’s honest, and understands what to expect from films like transformers, like Marvel, DC, Anime, etc

One thing I'm very intrigued by is the idea of seeing Optimus really learn to work with humanity. The line in the trailer "you brought a human here?!" gives off the impression that one, he isn't impressed by us and two, he didn't want to work with humans. We always see him as this wise sage leader, who while NEW to how things work on Earth, is still very much like....a dad figure to the humans in his team. He seems to have an established relationship with humanity in almost every iteration of Transformers even in _Age of Extinction_ he has human allies. This is even seen in Transformers Prime and Animated where the humans look up to him. Here it seems that Prime will have to learn how to maneuver working with humanity and all our limitations that come with us. I wonder what his relationship with Noah will be like. Cause it seems to be a bit familiar to his starting point with Cade Yeager, where they trust each other only out of necessity then it forges into something more. And that's just utterly fascinating to me. Do I prefer the OP that is just this innate leader who seems to have all the answers, who will do whatever it takes to protect his own and humanity from Megatron's wrath? Do I prefer Dadimus Prime? Well yeah of course. But I'm always open to new interpretations of the character. I like what they did with him in the War for Cybertron series too. GOD I hope the score is as good as the Bay films. Say what you will about those movies but the CGI (especially in the first) and the SCORE is just stunning. Steve Jablonsky should've gotten SEVERAL Oscars for his work.

Just saw the movie, it was AMAZING. As a transformers fan I'm so happy with the whole movie. Also the ending has a really shocking surprise

DUDE!! I am so SO proud of you for your moviemaking bro! You have inspired me for years my man to want to get into filmmaking! I'm actually working on something myself, the storyboard art, music, characters and character designs, writing, everything! I just adore filmmaking and I adore you Chris!! Keep up the awesome work dude and I am going to support the website! I gotchu brother 😁😁

I grew up with beast wars and seeing them now in live action was one of the best movie experience I had in long time

I Hope your movie is received well Chris and you had fun making it. It's always a major perspective change when making a film, you begin to respect the end credits more as you realize the amount of work and people it takes to create the final production. Also Used to love beast wars had it on VHS as a kid as well as other Transformers stuff, hopefully, they begin to steer the movies in a positive direction.

Stuckman: "I'm not doing reviews for bad movies anymore, it just doesn't feel right" 2 weeks later Stuckman: "I got bills to pay, every movie is good now"

Congrats on Shelby Oaks Chris. Can't wait to see what you give us! Looking so forward to it and I hope your vision is fulfilled above and beyond expectations. Got a lot of faith in you.

I’ll check it out. Really enjoyed the first and Bumblebee though.

I've been loving all the reviews you've been putting out lately Chris! I also hope your movie is coming along well, I can't wait 🙂

I was literally just googling mid-video to see what the status was of your movie and then you jumped right in to talk about it. Thank you!! So excited for you to share your project with us. I can speak for all of us when I say we already look forward to seeing more from you.

Loved the movie. The callback to the Transformers Japanese anime of the 80s-90s was great. I look forward to the development of the Hasbro Universe like the MCU.

Damn, so Jeremy and Chris enjoyed it? Nice!

Nothing beats the “Beast Wars” cartoon totally weighted and backbroken with wild lore

I think Rise of the Beasts is a great opportunity to have a true Beast Wars movie. This definitely feels like an introduction to having them around, as well as introducing Unicron in a less definitive way where they can bring him back for a bigger event. Hopefully later on they can introduce the Predacons! I feel like this movie introduces huge potential for the future of these movies in a really positive way

Beast Wars was a big part of my childhood; I had so freaking many of the toys lol. Hearing about this movie really excited me but it kinda sucks to hear the maximals don’t play a larger role. Still psyched though and grateful to see Optimus Prime and Primal on the same screen 😄

*We always forget that Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon came around the same time as Avengers 2012 and at the time I felt that Transformers 3 had more visual spectacle and had a better Final 3rd act than the Avengers*

Caught this film’s Brooklyn premiere. Definitely up there with Bumblebee as one of the best live-action entries (low bar ik, but still). And that ending… holy $&@%

The thing with this movie is it does feel like an introduction to a new transformations series of films. We’re just meeting these characters for the first time and providing focus on a few. I think it was a smart decision to let some transformers take a back seat while others get focus. But considering how much of a backseat Bee took here was he’s already had his film, I feel like the same might be true of some of the ones who got focus here.

Just saw Rise of the Beasts last night, and I must say this was probably my favorite Transformers movie since the first Michael Bay one

This movie is gonna be my favorite film of the year. Can't believe it's finally going to arrive this week after all this time. "The best transformers movie since the first" that is very big shoes to fill up, I truly hope this film lives up to those expectations because I think this film could be a huge success.

Chris, hearing you talk about how Beast Wars was your first introduction to the Transformers franchise was exactly my experience too. It’s disappointing to hear that the Beast Wars characters were utilized as much in the story. I would love to contribute, as long as I can buy a Blu-ray eventually!

Stuckmann's reviews are usually the most favorable of all reviewers I usually watch. I think this is because he's been making a movie himself for a year now and kinda has a different angle on what it actually takes to realize a film

This movie was a blast! From beginning to end it was fast pace, funny and great action. it totally blew my mind. I ended up crying of joy i swear and not ashamed to admit it. 10/10 highly recommended watch it as soon as you can 🤯

A good Transformers movie? And a nice update on Shelby Oaks? Chris, you’re the man!

Never thought I'd say this. This was the best transformers in the series. I hope what they promise really comes thru.

Here’s hoping for a movie based on the Armada trilogy

This is kinda what I wanted to hear. I did not expect this movie to be brilliant or even particularly great, but hearing that it's fairly good and at least unironically enjoyable is nice, I want to go see it now.

Can I just say I freaking love your shirt! Sailor Moon was so good, big part of my childhood ❤

Got to have a black lead in every Hollywood film now even at the expense of the story 😂 Literally the film would have been so much better if it was about two brothers as Chris said. But they can't help themselves.

I never forget how shocked I was in the theater at the end of transformers three. Cybertron explodes. Then optimus just straight up executes sentinel point blank. The megatron (who just helped him beat sentinel) says “Noo. We need a truce now. And after all who would you be without me optimus?” And then optimus just murders him and the movie ends. My jaw was dropped lmao

I was first introduced to your channel with your Transformers reviews, now years later here we are again

We're proud of you buddy! I am planning to donate again, wish I could give more but I feel invested as much as any other person who has been following your work for some time. Kind of feel like I'm making the movie with you. My son is starting at UNCSA in the fall, has an amazing visual sense in both film and photography, Oscar-winning Director/cinematographer in the making, I think. I pointed him towards your project and I think it has inspired him. Best crowdfunding money I've ever spent.

Why is no one talking about the insane scenery and background? It was IMPRESSIVE! I had no idea it was shot in Peru, but OMG it left me speechless

Pete Davidson really killed it as Mirage. By far one of the best characters of the movie, really made me as an audience member, care about Mirage.

Beast Wars was my first intro to Transformers too. Still have all my figures too!!!

I miss the old Chris reviews where he would be fair and honest and go in depth and not be afraid to criticize and give movies actual grades. Now every review is like 6 min of him saying even bad/mediocre movies are "good fun" and defending them and only having positive things to say about every movie. Sigh

Been waiting and checking out your channel for a Shelby Oaks update. Happy to hear it's near completion. I am a VFX artist so I understand what goes into making key shots work. Please take as much time as you want. It's your baby, raise it the way you feel is right! Though I cant help financially, I will surely help get the word out for you as much as possible! Wish you the very best of luck :)

Congrats on Shelby Oaks. You've been a big inspiration to us UF grads in the Ville. We just put out our lil indie on Amazon, KZfaq etc. I feel Shelby Oaks is gonna be a big deal. To go from fan to film maker is a hell of a journey . Looking forward to the trailer.

Transformers Dark of the Moon is an excellent epic action movie with some of the best visual effects ever put to screen and I'm tired that liking it is considered apologetic or guilty pleasure.

We got you Chris!!! We are so excited for your movie 🎥

I've been watching ur review for a long time. But i just recently subscribed😂 anyway its good to see you active after all these years

Love hearing Shelby Oaks is close to picture lock! Chris, I'm so proud of your journey and have been rooting for you over the last 10 years!

I am beyond excited to see Shelby Oaks!!! So proud of you Chris!!!

Bumblebee is the only Transformers live action film I've enjoyed so far. It's sounding like this one will be up my alley as well.

Looking foward to your film Chris. Can't wait.

Wishing you the best on your journey and your film, can't wait to see it, Chris. Great channel, great content, can't wait for the feature! God bless you.

Just saw the movie…Transformers is back on track!! They did a very good job with this one. And I won’t spoil it…..the final scene….is one of the most WTF scenes I have ever saw in a movie…everyone was like WTF?!? Trust me, when you see it, you’ll know. The final scene was a jaw dropper!

You are spot on about how this should have been a brother adventure. I was thinking the same thing. Dean Scott Vasquez felt sidelined. I appreciated the archeologist angle but the little brother really needed to be along for the ride too. When Noah told his little brother to stay home I was like Nah! That’s where the story is! Who cares if the mom worries. Lol. It was my 3rd favorite out of the franchise.

Really funny … you announce news about Shelby Oaks and the YT ad segment cuts in perfect timing … the Thai ad here starts with two men screeching to a halt and stare at eachother! Haha

Congrats on your film. I got you $$. Can’t wait to see it. Love the channel my dude. Your content is compelling. One love ✊

Same boat as you, I remember family members watching Transformers Gen1, but for me it was Beasts Wars where I really got into it. Hope we get a full on spin off with the Predacons in there too. If they need humans, throw in the cavemen.

TRANSFORMERS 3 IS AN AWESOME MOVIE

Love Beast Wars as well man! Great to grow up on, “Code of Hero” in season 2 was life changing. Best wishes on your film and so well put in your description of VFX needed!

this was also my transformers intro!!!!! ron perlman killed brw!!! shelby oaks will be great, im gonna take notes and learn much more my friend, seeing you grow in the field its so inspiring men you have no idea how much you have helped me. thank you too my friend. btw bro if you dont get the money dont forget that you are able to make something way much better without using the effects. think about it. maybe its not the right moment and if you insist on it something might go wrong. step by step chris.

I was waiting for this review!

I’m going to donate this Friday when I get my paycheck for sure! Super happy for you Chris and I can’t wait to see your film

kudos to you buddy for being up front and honest and actually wanting to pay the artists what they deserve instead of short-changing them or just rushing it.

Just watched this movie last night. First, I like the idea/review points especially that it would probably be a better story if it was more of a brotherly movie because that part of the movie spoke to me more for sure. I grew up watching Beast Wars and Armada so you know I was cheering in my living room like a little kid seeing the Primes side by side and in action. It was freakin awesome! I hope this moves toward a Beast Wars-focused movie(s) and we get to see more from them in the future. I would have liked to see more Cheetor and Optimus Primal because their story line in Beast Wars was a good one but this is more part of the whole "We want to see less people and more transformers!" criticism. Overall really good movie and will be rewatching it again soon. Side note how cool would it be if there was a reboot(pun intended) of Beast Wars with newer animation but the same story and dialog?!

Is Shelby Oaks getting a wide theatrical release or is it gonna get the independent cinema release in select theaters?

I'm a huge tf fan, but this one was tough to watch. How was the script given the green light? Its so corny and some of the dialogue had me saying "really?". The one thing I can give it is they used Arrival to Earth at the end but that's about it. The lack of big-name actors really effects this as the 2 lead characters are barely able to carry this movie.

Chris if you are here reading the comments what SFX shots do you need as I may be able to help depending on the shot.

I can't believe I saw this movie the same day Chris posted this review!!

I thought Chris would just start reviewing films that he "likes"? So he just likes every movie that comes out now? lol

You are right, Dark of the moon was great

It's awesome Chris mentioning "Reboot" since that series is truly groundbreaking. But forget about the movie review, I'm all for Chris wearing Luna and Artemis shirt!! Do you happen to have Sailor Mercury perhaps?? Lol!

Can’t wait for the release of Shelby Oaks! If you are in NYC anytime soon, I highly recommend seeing Grey House, an ultra rare horror play on Broadway with Laurie Metcalf, Tatiana Maslany and Paul Sparks. As an aficionado of horror, it’s style, effects, and direction, you should really love it.

This movie was very fun. I was so giddy and happy watching this. I love transformers as a 90s kid. And the soundtrack was 👌 I definitely always want more robots! 😊❤

Chris grew up with Transformers

Great review as always chris. Who do you have composing the score for Shelby Oaks?

It's always amazing to hear Peter Cullen. Excited to see this movie despite mixed reviews. Cool review. Best luck for your movie. Hope you get the funds and whatever is required. Sorry that I am unable to contribute financially. Will try to see it if it comes to India.

Bruh talk about your own movie in a separate video. Why are you using a movie review to do so? Like I was confused that you suddenly started talking about Shelby Oaks that I thought I accidentally skipped to a different video.

Going to see it tn, exciteded

Man I love how you brought up the brother story that’s something that definetly would of pulled me. Especially on the bridge fighting scene if he was protecting his brother in the suit!!

Chris! I love you, man! I wish you the best with you incoming project

Just watched it at the movies. Literally the best transformers we have gotten in awhile

Wanna see it! Not because its featuring my gal Arcee, Primal, Cheetor and the other Maximal gang...but also to see another director tackle Transformers. I'm just hoping the human factor isn't TOO MUCH but we'll see!😂

"The animated one is fun." It's the best one! Kids crying in the theater! A swear word! Orson Welles final film! It was simply amazing. I think it's my most purchased movie (VHS, Anniversary VHS, DvD, and 30 year blu ray). My number two is Dark Crystal. There's something to be said for a huge degree of attachment to kids films that don't really treat you like a kid. I wish we could bring some of that back.

This movie looks like a ton of fun! Honestly June in general has been quite an exciting month for movies. Also! I can’t wait for Shelby Oaks! You’re such an inspiration to me so thanks! 😁

While yes, we still focus on human characters, I love that the Transformers themselves actually feel like genuine characters. Optimus Prime in particular has an actual arc throughout the movie.

Every time I watch your reviews it makes me feel like we had the same childhood, I can't wait to see your film!

I remember watching the Starship Troopers CGI show in the mornings before school in the 90’s, which was a very similar type of animation style. It also led me to the first Starship Troopers film

It was more like begging money than transformers review.. First we pay to make movie than we pay to watch movie. Am I missing the algorithm

This was my favourite transformers movie.

The fact that they didn't include Rattrap will never not piss me off, but considering how the rest of the Maximals were utilized there probably wouldn't have been any difference.

Thank you for everything Chris! Looking forward to Shelby Oaks!!

I loved the movie. I just hope there are more transformers on there

The Best Transformer Movie Ever Made
