Bumblebee
- Terry PhanSeptember 27, 2025I like this movie and how it introduces us to the new Transformers and how they look nothing alike from Michael Bay & Steven Spielbergs previous transformers movies however I might’ve gotten this mixed up from The Last Knight but in this movie bumblebee arrived in the 1980’s and in The Last Knight it is said that Bumblebee worked with The Allies in WW2 to sabotage a German base.
- ZokkiieMarch 1, 2026Didn’t think I’d say this about a Transformers movie, but this one actually has heart. It keeps things simple and focused, trading nonstop chaos for a genuine coming-of-age story with a lonely teen and her unexpectedly lovable Autobot. The action is tight and easy to follow, the ‘80s setting adds personality, and finally they look the way they should. It’s fun without being exhausting, emotional without being cheesy. Sure, the villains are pretty standard, but the charm carries it all the way through.
- matvil8April 28, 2026I love how they did the bumblebee movie. It had to be made for his continuing story and they did it perfectly. I love all the transformer movies and almost all of the animation made of it. I even purchased the original transformers animated movie on bluray. It looks fantastic. If another movie comes out, then I will buy that one as well.
- gmrxboxOctober 21, 2024I like the old transformers stuff mostly out allegiance to nostalgia (exception of Beast Wars of course, RIP). I remember enjoying the first Michael Bay movie, hating the second, and never coming back (did watch the... fifth? one recently, with all the Arthurian legend stuff. goddamn awful). Bumblebee, a prequel/spinoff is actually pretty good. Leans hard into 80s tropes, and of course, falls apart by the end, but there's an Allspark there. Solid soundtrack at least. Oh, and the opening scene on Cybertron is absolutely aces! (adding a plus to the grade just for that)
