Review of Bumblebee (2018) by Waleed A — 15 Jan 2019

I might like this movie if I was 15. "family friendly" garbage ruined the movie. teenie bopper romance ruined the movie. they basically did the same thing as previous movies, the same thing everyone complained about, but went even younger and more high-school-y. smh. who makes these decisions.

The movie started off amazingly. the first 20 minutes I was locked in and having a blast. and it slowly got worse and worse all the way to the end of the movie. so many cheesy moments and corny jokes. most of the jokes fail. the story is useless. the characters are lame. and did I say it was cheesy and corny? times ten.

Hailee steinfeld did a good job. the rest of the acting was pretty bad. the action was mostly good. but the movie around it failed to make me care about the stakes.

This movie was better than the last two mark wahlburg trash movies. but they are nowhere near as good as the first three that everyone loves to hate on. I really don't understand how everyone hates on the original 3 but gave this one amazing reviews. baffling. those movies are flawed but they are super entertaining, whereas you will only like this movie if you are cool with high school dramas (1 viewing).

SPOILERS.

Let's talk about some of the cliched moments. the crowd wants her to dive, but she's too scared, I wonder if that will come into play later. she likes the popular guy at school who's dating the bully, but that does not come into play at all lmao. the bullies!!! lmao the most cliched. "why don't you ask your dad for moment, oh wait oops, he's dead." that is psychotic.
