Bumblebee (2018) - Official Teaser Trailer

[Rivenblade]

First ever human and Transformer sex scene? That's the feel I'm getting.

Seriously though, that was the first Transformers trailer ever that made me feel remotely interested in watching a Transformers movie.

 

[pixelation]

I think it's weird that some Transformers ( Like Prime, Soundwave, etc) look so close to their G1incarnations, but then you have this other ones ( the triple transforming ones on the trailer) that look closer to the Bayformers... what gives?, Bumblebee himself looks closer to the Bayformers than his G1 version.

 

[I Am Captain America]

Just got out It's much better than expected. Haillie Steinfeld and Bumblees relationship are very well done and definitely the highlight of the movie that being said the rest of the film can feel a little cheesy especially John Cena but thankfully he's barely in it I would say if your a fan of the series that it's worth seeing and is much better then some of the recent films in the franchise

Spoiler: Big Spoiler

-Optimus Primes entry at the end was pretty dope

-the memes that will come from John Cena in this will be glorious

It was filmed with the intention of making it a prequel to the Bay movies, but since those are in limbo they're using this to gauge whether to reboot completely or not.

For years I've dreamed of having a Transformers movie that was actually good. Just good. It'd at least be miles ahead of the other films.

Bumblebee isn't just good, it's *fantastic*
I feel like I'm on cloud 9 right now.

Y'all need to see it. So good.

 

[Deleted member 4260]

This movie was very good.

 

[Penguin]

I thought the movie was enjoyable enough.

Happy to come out of one of these without feeling mentally exhausted by all the big setpieces.

Also nice that it was a much smaller focus. Some big laughs. Cool action. Decent enough characters. Though most beyond the lead were fairly one dimensional

 

[Starphanluke]

Having a smaller cast of bots was a great decision. Bee might just be the most loveable a Transformers has ever been. And Shatter and Dropkick, while fairly one-dimensional, have actual personalities and are fun to watch. Decepticons who aren't just screaming hunks of twisted grey metal- who could've believed it?

The movie has a lot of heart. I love it for that.

 

[whytemyke]

Just got back. The first ten minutes alone are better than any other Transformers movie out. Not a high bar but still.

Just tons of heart in this movie. Right down to even the meta joke about

Spoiler: semi-predictable plot point

trusting robots who even call themselves Decepticons

I just can't speak highly enough about this movie. I guess you could say it ran a little long, but sitting here I'm not even sure what I would cut out because there's so much character growth in this.

So question does this seem like its connected to bays world or can it stand as a reboot and does it set up a sequel?

It's totally a reboot. There's one small aspect that nods to the Bay films, but otherwise it is very evident that this is a new universe. I'd say more but... spoilers.

it does set up for another film but very low key they can go with it wherever they want and to answer your Michael Bay question it's in the same universe

So it is cheesy, but doesn't detract from the main parts of the film? I can dig that. Everyone needs some cheese now and then.

(I accidentally saw the spoiler when I quoted this. Shit! Oh well lmaoooo)

 

[Cth]

I disagree.

Spoiler: RE: Reboot or not

It's totally in line with Bay's universe.

Simmons is in the film. Much like the other TF films it reinvents/tweaks the timeline some. So it's not a reboot per se.

It's definitely has a lot of heart and that part will resonate with audiences. As with all things there's stuff to nitpick but my wife and I loved it. Humor and characterization were on point.

Spoiler: Nitpicks

Memo is totally useless and serves no purpose at all. Charlie has a scene telegraphed/set up through the film that some will complain about.

Spoiler: Ironic throwaway reference to Bay films

Cena at one point says something along the lines of ripping someone's face off. I had to laugh a bit at the idea, given Optimus' perchant for doing so in Bay's films.

 

[Nappuccino]

Transformers is a series where heart with a dash if cheese is welcome.

The cheese is honestly mainly John Cena but his presence in the movie is so rare that when he does come out it's hilarious

 

[Cth]

Yep. I'm one of the weird fans who liked the 80s cartoon, Bay's films, and this one.

[Xe4]

Sounds like a good fun film. Looking forward to it though I probably won't be able to see it till January.

 

[whytemyke]

Cena is in full "corny Cena" mode. The only reason it works is because he's steering into it. If he was trying to play his character straight it would be very unenjoyable.

 

[Starphanluke]

Looks like reviews are hitting now. Is this the kind of movie to get a review thread or should we just let it be?

 

[TerminusFox]

I just saw this movie tonight. My god is it freaking great. I loved every goddamn second of it. Who knew taking Micheal Bay out of the director's seat could produce an enjoyable Transformers film?

Spoiler

lol, there's going to be so many "Shape Of Water" jokes, and not entirely unfounded either.

 

[Cth]

Oh, and it's very much an 80s movie.. if the soundtrack doesn't remind you of that, there's plenty of other ways you're reminded of it throughout the film.

 

[Deleted member 18025]

I missed the first 5 minutes...

Can someone spoil it for me?

Spoiler

Walked in when Cena and gang was chasing Bumblebee as a jeep.

Besides that, I enjoyed the movie.

There's a lot of fighting on Cybertron. The Decepticons have surrounded the Autobots. Optimus sends the Autobots out in escape pods, telling them to go form bases on planets where the Autobots can rebuild before coming home to retake Cybertron. He tells Bumblebee to go to Earth and create a safe base for the Autobots, then he'll follow. As the Autobots leave, Optimus buys them time to escape.

 

[Xbox Live Mike]

Just got out of the movie and I loved it. Very 80's in many ways. This is the Transformers movie the fans deserved in the first place and I hope future films keep to this tone.

It's not really that surprising. Especially when that new director is someone like Travis Knight. I imagine working with stop motion or animation in general forces you to focus extensively on clarity and contrast and readability onscreen, which are three things that the Transformers movies desperately needed.

Along with what sounds like a simpler more focused narrative

 

[mojo]

There's an action sequence in this that's about a minute long that makes everything in the Bay movies look like straight up amateur hour

 

[Deleted member 4260]

There's def some cheese mostly coming from Cena's character but it's fine. The movie had a lot of heart and I enjoyed the human characters for once.

 

[CassCade]

Very excited about what am hearing so far.

This happened to me too...I was on line getting snacks and I even told someone that at least there'd be like 20 minutes of previews before the movie starts.

Then I get back to the room and thought they were playing a commercial for some new Transformers game only to realize that the movie started already. My wife told me that they didn't even have any previews; I guess it was bc the showing was an early screening and the movie isn't officially out yet.

Luckily I didn't miss much and got right into it. I liked the movie a lot. It had a lot of heart and didn't take itself too seriously. The cheesy moments didn't really go over the top either.

Definitely looking forward to the next one. 👍

 

[kurahador]

Simpler narrative is abit disappointing, but I like what I'm hearing. Will watch.

Too bad they already messed Bumblebee design, I mean it's nice and way better than bayverse but wish it was closer to g1 since they did the same for Optimus, Soundwave, Shockwave (based on trailer, haven't seen the movie).

What, not a fan of this fucking dorito-con?

It's not out in the US. As far as I know, it's not out anywhere.

 

[Book One]

Currently at 96% on RT, for whatever it's worth

 

[BWoog]

So I saw this tonight and its the best Transformers movie, which isn't exactly a high bar, but at least it has that going for it.

It's fine. It's acceptable, but it's barely better than the first Transformers and honestly, it kind of made me sad thinking about what the Transformers COULD have been on screen.

Spoiler

All the Cybertron moments are AMAZING. So many characters that looked absolutely gorgeous onscreen when they weren't coated with the Michael Bay spit shine.

 

[Kevers]

Does Bumblebee slaughter any other robots like Optimus Prime did?

Yes, he kills three of them. This movie is SHOCKINGLY violent. He actually wraps chains around one Decepticon then pulls, ripping all its limbs off, then its head.
