From my formerly substantial experience with the Transformers fandom I can say that this will please them, and whether you choose to interpret that as an indictment on them is up to you!

Not so much applying brakes to the franchise as it is shifting gears, Furiosa is a triumphantly Aussie blockbuster.

Thor: Love and Thunder offers a colourful, lively enough diversion that should sate appetites until the next offering arrives, even if it doesn't necessarily accelerate the hype train.
