Review of Bumblebee (2018) by Bkristman — 21 Dec 2018
This film started out really well with the transformer battle and setting up bumblebee's story of why he went to earth. The earth part was ok as well in the beginning with the cliche angry teen girl's story with finding bumblebee although it made no sense that he would be sitting all dilapidated in a wrecking yard and why if the transformers just discovered earth would they pick a car to emulate at all? About a third of the way thru though the producers seemed to wake up and remember that they were making a teen film though so he changes the tone completely by bringing in a bf for the girl and having a bunch of silly cliche bonding scenes of bumblebee and the girl/boy.
The evil decepticons sent to kill bb were pretty fun and the scenes with the military were decent.
This film would be really good for the 8-16 yr old crowd but not so much for adults.
