After years of cinematic debris, Bumblebee rides in and saves and revitalizes the transformers live action movie franchise with an emotionally invigorating experience. It might not be the best film ever or a revolutionary remake of the well-known idea. That’s the Action Figure movie, addressing the important factor – the humanitarian one which was the crux of the very beginning back in 2007. The struggle between a bot and a ten-year-old – will be highlighted this time.

Perhaps the overall improvement in Butler’s to Knight’s vision is largely due to new people on board (one can compare this agony to her previous agony with Michael Bay and the first five movies.) Herean and sicmaid facing the wall and glaring uneasy at Shia labeoux’s hysterical meltdown takes a turn for the sane with the character motioning in response to the ‘invitingness’ of Charlie moving into his animated transformer state. This focus on seeking out the heart of the narrative and actually developing a character thankfully shifts to the Autobot titular character too.

Bumblebee has an emotional journey here, starting off as basically the robot’s version of a fearless young soldier at war, then losing his way on Earth and undergoing this lost puppy stage. He can be sincere and naked yet treacherous and imposing. Knight has worked extensively in animation which should come in handy here as Bumblebee’s face and the movements he makes displays emotions that are easy to get attached to him and his sad story. The more sleek style of each ‘bot design that matches the original cartoon has ensured that each Transformer collectors more enjoys his bot during the fight scenes than because of the bay films. In this case however, some degree of transformations is also employed, but you will not find the traditional rapid movement of animation that turns an image into a numerous fast moving parts of digital applications.

Bumblebee also prudently steers clear of clutter by restricting towards a reasonable number of Transformers on the screen, predominantly or rather selectively two to three onscreen especially focusing on Bumblebee and the Decepticon characters of Shatter and Dropkick while having Optimus Prime and others in the background especially. Even so, there’s still not much of how you say dimensions to the Decepticons I’m sorry, but Angela does add some chilling features of her vocal performance as Shatter (the film’s first female bot baddie) brings in such a distinguished aspect to shatter that lures you in it.

Bumblebee and Charlie’s friendship, which gradually evolves into romantic love as the plot unfolds, is the most central theme in the narrative, however, especially given each character’s also receives emotional arcs and goals. Due to her relationship with Bumblebee, Charlie is finally able to deal with fears and pain that have been haunting her ever since her father died while Bumblebee is able to find meaning again through the support and direction that Charlie offers. One aspect of the movie that is sure to amuse is the performance by Steinfeld, which however has its downside considering that her character adolescent has a bit too many surly teenager tropes.

There are only a few comical parts for John Cena, especially when he plays heats up the Sector 7 Agent Burns, a relentless physique who is unconsciously a speedbump in the path of Charlie, Bumblebee and their friend Memo (Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as a typical add ons barely just along for the ride). But Bumblebee even manages to devote a small part of this movie to the character of Burns and what we understand is a soldier who is faced with an enemy he does not comprehend.

But nothing of Bumblebee was over-decorated such as the mazes and overemphasis on how bad the MacGuffins are that can be found in the previous films. This movie does not in a way disavow the canon set by the Bay films albeit it is set long before the 2007 Transformers which was a clear prequel, yet it also A step back significantly from the integrative depiction invoked in the first five films. Was the door ever visited by the Transformers through ancient Earth before the ‘Bee and the duo Decepticons reaches northern California 1987? Maybe, maybe not. It’s left vague. In that way, Bumblebee is rather a tolerable soft reboot for the series in that it maintains those things that worked while discarding the excess.

While Bumblebee is set in the eighties, this cannot be said only in terms of time period. It has the right style and pacing dawdling like your ordinary Amblin movie or an adolescent sci-fi such as WarGames or Short Circuit. Such is the cornucopia of slasher tributes and clichéd 80’s gags that nearly every single segment, drop the kettle drums, if not every single segment has a piece of music, or even a pointer. I understand! It’s the year of our Lord Joseph Roller 1987! If you thought Bumblebee was some 80’s references that one could take a sip of it for most parts would have lead you to die of alcohol overdose. The funny stuff was not to those levels of ugh that it was in the Bay movies, but it also has to be said that not all of the jokes worked, and comedy is not particularly Steinfeld’s forte. And she is much better at the nice emotional and messy parts.

The Bottom Line

Bumblebee is without question the finest installment in the Transformers series, going head-to-head with any live-action movie in Transformers franchise after the last five years of the 2007 film. The nostalgia of that first experience, of seeing giant robotic machines come to life as they do, has not been completely accomplished. Nevertheless, it manages to effectively reset the franchise in its character-oriented narrative structure and uncomplicated designs of Transformer characters and their special effects in general, and more importantly, gets rid of the over-the-top and irrelevant plotting that has typified this series. It was enjoyable to watch a Transformers movie yet again.
