Review of Bumblebee (2018) by Nick K — 02 Jan 2019
What's not to love about Bumblebee? The bar of expectation has been set so low for the Transformers franchise, so much so that anything better than the mind-numbing robot fights of the past must be good.
Some parts were cute, like Bumblebee smashing the settee he sat on and truly bumbling away, yet so unnecessary. The back story of Hailee Steinfeld's daddy issues was also a distraction and cringeworthy.
I had more fun watching the kids in the cinema screaming with delight at every Decepticon - Autobot battle, crying out when Bumblebee got beaten up really bad, and laughing at Bumblebee's antics. It's really for the kids, and I think they deserved to enjoy this one.
