Bumblebee (movie)

Autobot Bumblebee is hands down one of the coolest Transformers in ages. In fact, he's so popular, he actually got his own movie about his beginnings and fans are in for a sweet treat because for the first time since the TV show, Bumblebee's back to being an old VW Beetle, which is good news for nostalgic fans many. Time to join the buzz.

Bumblebee

Set in the late 1980's, the story of Bumblebee begins as a young woman named Charlie, played by Hailee Steinfeld, who wants to live free by her own rules until she encountered an old yellow VW Beetle lying in dormant in a junkyard and what she learned that this is not just a Beetle. It's an Autobot named Bumblebee, a wounded warrior from another world. This is where the true bond between man and machine begins.

While Transformers fans are heavily delighted about Bumblebee's classic look just like in the Transformers TV series because of him being a VW Beetle like the original show, the storyline is downright touching and while there are intense moments where our favorite Autobout springs into action, there are some moments that will make us cry because of the connection the two characters made. That connection between man and machine is what makes this film very special. Emotional, rather.

Combining action thriller moments just like every Transformers films with the emotion of a family film about friendship and bond, Bumblebee is one of the must-watch films in the Christmas season and there's so much to buzz about it.

My rating: 3.9 out of 5.
