Did anyone else see the Bumblebee Transformers movie?

[LadyCaytIL]

So over the weekend I went to see the movie ...... heard some good things from early reviews but still was skeptical because the last 4 movies were just bad movies (visually stunning but bad movies)

Anyone else like it? I've been waiting since the mid 80's and 4 years old for a good live action movie with G1 flare to happen.

If anyone is undecided or was afraid of it being another crap fest like transformers 2-5 ..... I highly suggest over the next few weeks to go out and give this movie a chance ..... Its kind of a soft reboot from the other movies and you can tell the new director is as step up in the franchise.

Looking forward to this - the first Transformers was pretty good but the last 4 have been utter garbage.

All those movies' studios were dumb coming out on the same weekend.... they will probably all under perform now instead of if Aqua man came out a month ago and say Spider verse came out next month.

I really liked Bumblebee, right in my wheelhouse with the 80’s nostalgia.

Had a musical tip of the cap to the animated movie in the 80’s.

My favorite scene was the revenge scene right after that musical tip of the hat scene... lol

I wasn't sure if it was going to be a reboot or not, but it definitely changed some things from the previous storyline. One of the past movies mentioned he was here during WWII and fought with the allies, but he definitely doesn't arrive on Earth in that time period. I am curious if they will continue on with the Transformer series from this storyline now or if this will just be a standalone movie?

Unfortunately, Bumblebee isn't performing well at the movies with all of the competition. I think it was better than Aquaman, but probably didn't get the buildup that Aquaman did. Plus there are to many holiday movies to compete with. They should have waited until like mid January or early February to bring it out. As of now, it looks like it will struggle to break $100 million in the U.S. Not a good sign for any more movies to be made.

SMDH at adult “men” raving about cartoon movies like 8 year old kids. Put down your mocha latte and grow the eff up.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

That doesnt look cartoon to me

 

[John Q. Bender]

Either

That doesnt look like a cartoon to me

or

That doesnt look cartoonish to me

would have been acceptable. You chose neither.

 

[BigSexyCat]

The other Transformer movies sucked. All action and no story. Hopefully this movie has an actual storyline.

You'll be happy to know that you're avatar plays a prominent role in Bumblebee.

If you are all up on being correct on things they are referred to as Animated Movies... not Cartoon movies

I was being derisive.

I was being a dick.

Fixed it for you.

 

[DSmith21]

Can't be as good as the original.

I don't play with Transformers. But even if I did, it would still be more mature than the guy who butts his way into a conversation just to act like a complete jack ***.

 

[RonEJones]

No - but I’m older than 13 so maybe that’s it?

way into a conversation

It’s a public message board. Jumping into conversations is why they exist.

Bars are a public place too, but if a group of people are having a conversation about a topic you have no interest in, and you jump in just to say they are stupid, then you're being a douche, just like you are here. Learn manners.

I have a collection of transformers and marvel figures in glass cases.

I still love what I loved as a kid....... I'm not ashamed of it..... I've also made a bit of money on the internet and ebay buying and selling (unfortunately you have to report ebay on your taxes now and that sucks so I dont make much compared to what I used to. )

I have like 95% of the original Masters of the Universe collection. Waiting for the movie to come out in 2019 to sell them, I figure I'll get more bang for my buck at that time.

I would have, but I was busy having sex with a woman

interesting nugget that the director is Travis Knight. Yes the son of Nike’s Phil Knight.

Spot on. Adults entertained by actors in tights in front of a green screen. Hollywood has the right formula. The Chinese eat this stuff up even if a movies flops here.

The first 2 minutes of the film were better then the all the live action movies combined. I geeked out at Soundwave who is probably the coolest mother fvcker in the entire line.

Maybe they finally figured out people want movies with the G1 designs they grew up with.
