Synopsis
Oh you know, just your average “girl makes friends with her car, which is secretly an alien robot in disguise” story – with a twist! Set in 1987, Bumblebee is battle-worn and hiding out in a junkyard, where’s he’s discovered by a teenage girl named Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld). Decepticons and shadowy government agents aren’t the only things plaguing the cutest Autobot, though. Because as Charlie finds out, Bumblebee does NOT care to be Rickrolled… Kubo and the Two Strings director Travis Knight joins the Transformers franchise to helm this entry, which also stars John Cena, Kenneth Choi, and Pamela Adlon.

"I'm sorry, old friend...now you have to go hang out with Shia LaBeouf." -- Optimus Prime
matt lynchDec 8, 2018If you've seen The Iron Giant, The Water Horse, How to Train Your Dragon, ET: The Extraterrestrial, or any other variation on the "kid befriends beast" premise, you've seen this movie pretty much beat-for-beat. But yet, Bumblebee works. And bizarrely, the movie doesn't work…
Georgia ColeyJan 1, 2019I thought it could never happen, but it did: for the first time in my life I had an actual emotional investment in the well-being of a Transformer.

truDec 24, 2018hard to believe that john cena is going to get *two* nominations for Best Supporting Actor this year but you can't argue with the facts (he'll win for BLOCKERS, of course, assuming that Hugh Grant continues to get snubbed). convincing proof that every single movie…
davidehrlichJun 16, 2019Gets worse the longer it goes on but it's mostly really charming and cute. John Cena's line about the Decepticons' name made me belly laugh cause that's exactly what I was thinking

Mustached Movie Man likedBumblebeeOk, this was better than I remembered from seeing it in theaters. It's such an enjoyable and charming movie, in the spirit of E.T. and How to Train Your Dragon with the relationship between Charlie and Bumblebee. Check out more reviews on my Letterboxd! (🔗 in bio)
- Hunter Alleman likedBumblebee
7.9/10 Actually very enjoyable watch. Hailee Steinfeld was great and her relationship with bumblebee was perfect. CGI wasn’t as good as the first few but wasn’t bad. Nothing groundbreaking but a feel good movie glad I got around to watching it
Tyler Mazzola is "meh" onBumblebeekinda didnt like the heavy CGi at the start, make it look as realistic as the transformers franchise and it could have been better.
Tolu lovedBumblebeei love the storyline is so good and i love bumblebees character

Almost in tears during the opening sequence. Seeing Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Shockwave and Ramjet/Dirge and Ravage in their original form we all grew up knowing from Saturday morning cartoons. So glad to see this was a soft reboot that way it can steer clear of the…
MCMorgan ChewIt’s like an apology for the other Transformers films. Still produced by Bay... just not directed. Much more satisfying action movie
AZAlben ZinniaWith an opportunity to erase all that care before it, BumbleBee movie did a pretty good job, almost. The most exciting and successful moments are the ones that took place in Cybertron. The character design was true to it’s Generation 1 origins. Seeing Arcee and others in…

I will love this movie! Favorite series is Transformers!
NBN BLoved it!!
WWWOLFE WOLFECute for the kids. Very little cursing ("Mr. Cena said s***, Mom!"), adorable and squeaky clean heroine, cute robot-child friendship. Pretty violent robot fighting but not over the top. Took a 9-year old who loves robots and it was a winner for kids of 2009 and kids of the…

It’s hard enough to have a fully CG character as your co-star, and it’s even tougher when an actor is tasked with creating a deep emotional bond with something she can’t even see during production. Steinfeld is up to the challenge, making us believe in Bumblebee’s existence almost as much as the animators who worked on bringing him to life.

The Transformers franchise has made bloated, histrionic pandemonium such a thing that the modest Bumblebee, for all its derivativeness, feels like a breath of fresh air.

The script stays on safe, formulaic ground, but it’s effective — and somehow breathes new life into a franchise that had become a junk heap.
