Sep 05, 2019A prequel, or possibly a reboot, Bumblebee is a mediocre action-comedy that really scales back the level of action and adventure that the Transformers series is known for. As the Autobots face defeat on their world they send B-127 to Earth to establish a base, however he soon finds himself on the run from the US military as well as Decepticon soldiers, and hides out undercover as a teenage girl's Volkswagen Beetle. Once again the Transformers mythos is changed up, so there's no way of knowing if or where this film fits in the existing series. And both Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena give rather poor performances; particularly Cena, who's playing a cartoonish military commander. Additionally, the special effects aren't very good. The Transformer designs have been scaled back and don't have nearly the same amount of detail or photorealism as before. Still, there are some exciting fight sequences and the soundtrack is energetic and fun. Bumblebee, while mildly entertaining, has no real ambition and is a pretty pathetic attempt to revive this waning series.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jun 10, 2019Strong contender for best live-action Transformers movie ever made, but Christ, what a low fuckin' bar that is. The fact it isn't the clear and absolute winner is a devastating criticism.

May 20, 2019This spinoff of the Transformers franchise ultimately wins over with the amount of heart and charm it possess. Strip away the "Bay-hem" explosions and add Steinfeld and some solid action, you've got a simple yet satisfying entry in the Hasbro-influenced saga that's arguably its best. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

May 07, 2019The Transformers prequel does cash in on the current 1980s nostalgia, but at least it does so by delivering a highly enjoyable adventure. Going back to the formula "a boy and his first car", now with a girl, that worked great in the first film, was also a smart move. The film has its best moments when it is focusing on kids having an exciting adventure, like in the classics from that era. Each time we turn to the bad guys, we're in the usual Transformers territory. Still, thanks to great soundtrack, a likable young leading lady and good sense of humor (instead of embarrassing jokes like in the last three films), the enjoyment far outweighs the "been there, done that" moments.Jens S Super Reviewer
