This is the most I've cared about the human story in any transformers. It has a lot of heart and is quite funny too. The music is fantastic and it never lets you forget you are in the 80s. Hailee Steinfeld is great and John Cena does what he does best. The action isn't too over the top. There are definitely the way too much CGI parts but those are few and far between. I would like to see more prequel stories with new people every time without Michael Bay.

FINALLY A GOOD TRANSFORMERS MOVIE! less explosions, less dumb gags, less Michael Bay! Hailee Steinfeld is wonderful and John Cena...I mean, there is no movie John Cena wouldn't make better so... yeah, I loved Bumblebee.

@sinemaholic whoa, sorry mr. "I insult people on the internet cause I'm so manly". First of all, Bumblebee would also be good without the other Transformers movies. Yeah, there were some easter eggs, but they didn't make it a good movie. They could reboot the whole thing and do some better movies, built on Bumblebee. Transformers has a lot of potential, but Michael Bay ignored it completly and simply did some bad movies. But it seems that you like sexist movies with a lot of unnecessary explosions, so sorry to bother you.

Apparently not being a Michael Bay style movie makes it a good movie?? yes im very much attacking all the 7-9 scores this movie is generously getting. Personally love the movie all you want but this movie is really really bad. objectively! . uninteresting , cringy , full of bad acting and moments.
It had great potential. But it failed.
Michael Bay movies were also bad but at least they made it up for all that with the flashy visuals and action. This movie lacks that too.
BumbleBee is a DUMB movie. waste of time and potential.

@vip87er again !!! ur proving my point. adding "heart" to any movie-style/franchise which didnt have it before doesnt make it GOOD! . garbage + heart = doesnt make a good movie!!

Unlike a lot of people, I've actually quite enjoyed the Michael Bay Transformers movies for their bonkers level of mayhem. I really liked Bumblebee, but not just because it was different to the Bay movies - I just thought it was a great movie.

The humour worked, the characters worked, and the action sequences were great (and perhaps due to their smaller scale, pretty coherent). Hailee Steinfeld in particular is perfect in the role of Charlie, and her care for Bumblebee comes across as real and earnest without being sappy.

There's a lot to love in this movie regardless of whether you are an existing Transformers fan or not.

From the rating and comments, I must be one of the few that found it absolutely terrible. More teen drama, than a Transformers action movie.

Just saw an Early Access Screening. This is essentially what the first Transformers movie should have been - clearly, the sensibilities of Travis Knight (director) are a better match for those of Steven Spielberg than for the first series. If it had been the first movie, I would have come out with a huge smile on my face, now it's a slightly smaller one. Still, the best of the bunch, and essentially a reboot of time line (not that it was coherent before) and visual style (much nicer, G1-inspired designs), despite some references (Sector 7) and easter eggs (appearance by a certain character) - Paramount can (and should) rebuild the franchise on this foundation.

They took it back to its roots and I was excited that they went with the G1 Transformers. This had a more human story to it, and the first of the Autobots coming to earth, the initial battle scene with the G1 Transformers was nothing short of AMAZING. Bumblebee has a lot of heart and some fun comedic moments. The music was great and the best part is that its in the 80s and they don't let you forget it. Hailee Steinfeld is great and John Cena does what he does best. The action isn't too over the top, and some times the CGI is over but those parts are few and far between. This was definitely a setup for the next one and I hope they go all out Autobots in G1 and bring out a few old school characters and some interesting Decepticons.

It was great: The only issue was that when they went back to the roots on Cybertron the Autobots and Decepticons had their Earth bodies. They do not take these shapes until they reach Earth.

@teroq938 Very true, but there were a few inconsistencies overall but lets just say that it was just too much fun to see the G1 form in a movie finally which got me too excited and forgetting from the details. Cant wait for the sequel.

I loved the first several Michael Bay Transformers movies.
The premise is action, action, action.
Not some soppy teen drama like this was
I was disappointed, sadly

The best story of the Transformer movies. I just wish they would have player John Cena less over the top and more like a military person.

Best Herbie the Love Bug movie yet.

Bumblebee was better than I expected. It has good moments, specially when they explore Bumblebee's naiveness towards the world (silly robot!). I also love when a movie is able to work well with its soundtrack, and they used the 80's setup to feature a some good music moments. It may feature some cliches throughout the story but it was enjoyable overall.

I didn’t realise this was a reboot movie till I started watching. So soon, nothings sacred.

Apart from the kick ass 80s soundtrack, the rest of the setting did nothing and felt about as nostalgic as yesterday’s breakfast.

The main character was constantly reminded by her family for being drab and bringing down the mood. Guess what, she had exactly the same effect on me as the audience member. Shilo Leboof at least had some humour and charisma. And what was with the 2d emasculated guy following her around? I mean if you have nothing to write, don’t tack it on.

Dreadful.
