This year, the Transformers franchise brings us a film that focuses on one of the sweetest Autobots, Bumblebee.<\/p>\n
The year is 1987 and, following the fall of Cybertron, Bumblebee is sent by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) to scout a base on Earth so that the Autobots can fight back against the Decepticons.<\/p>\n
Following a costly battle, Bumblebee winds up crossing paths with Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld), a human\u00a0teenager with a passion for mechanics.<\/p>\n
Helping repair Bumblebee, Charlie and the young Autobot soon form a deep friendship. Unfortunately, matters aren\u2019t so easy when both the Decepticons and the human secret agency, Sector 7, are hunting Bumblebee.<\/p>\n
This was by far one of the best Transformers films to date.<\/p>\n
Unlike previously overly complicated instalments, Bumblebee has a much\u00a0simpler story that manages to be compelling and even has better humour.<\/p>\n
The action scenes were all really good, but they were never a detriment on the story and didn\u2019t feel overblown (which is something of a miracle considering this\u00a0film\u2019s all about giant alien robots fighting each other).<\/p>\n
The strongest part of the movie is Charlie and Bumblebee\u2019s relationship, as the story spends much of its time focusing on the interactions between these two characters.<\/p>\n
The other characters were pretty good too. Sector 7 agent, Jack Burns (John Cena), initially seems like an antagonist, but we soon see his actions merely come from misjudging Bumblebee.<\/p>\n
Even the Decepticon villains were decent, as they were quite smart in the methods they took to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n
Overall, I would highly recommend checking this film out in cinemas. After so many mediocre Transformers films, this feels like the movie fans deserve. And even if you\u2019re not a Transformers fan, Bumblebee is still a charming and delightful movie you\u2019re sure to have fun with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
