Bumblebee (DVD) [2018]

I watched this movie like three times it’s so good

Travis Knight and all the cast did an amazing job in bringing Bumblebee's story to life and showing us the origins of how the Autobots came to Earth. We loved everything about this movie, from the wonderful Eighties feel and music that transport us back to that era and all the attention to detail that you truly feel you've gone back in time, to the intense fight scenes and the emotional moments and pure bond between Charlie and Bumblebee that touch your heart. Bumblebee is so sweet and caring yet also an impressively powerful warrior, it's no wonder he is loved by all. This is such an enjoyable movie to watch and definitely goes down as a classic. We can't wait to see more as the story continues in future movies. Thank you to all who truly love Transformers and put in all their hard work and efforts to make us these wonderful movies to enjoy with our families and share with the next generations. No matter what overpaid critics say, there are many who appreciate these movies, the true fans who care about these characters and their stories, and we are grateful they are in good hands. 10/10

A change of direction in the Transformers movie franchise. This is a prequel to the previous five films. It has a different director as well.Set in the 1980's, it tells the origin of Transformer Bumblebee. How, on a mission to Earth at the behest of Optimus Prime, he's left wounded and unable to speak. And has to find his place in this strange world.Meantime teenager Charlie [Hailee Steinfeld] is a little adrift in life as well, struggling to find her way again after personal tragedy. When she and Bumblebee meet, both might be exactly what the other needs. But the Deceptions are on the way...In addition to the flawless 80's setting - and all the robots look like their designs from that time, which should please fandome - it's like an 80's family adventure movie as well. Appealing leads, robots, government men on the case, and a fair bit of action and things exploding. It succeeds at this really well, without feeling like a throwback. Which is to say it's a period set movie that feels like something made in the present day.Hailee Steinfeld is superb, and carries the film all by herself really well. She makes Charlie a superbly likeable and sympathetic character. Wrestler turned actor John Cena does well in his government guy role, making him a three dimensional character with some depth rather than just a heavy. And it's all a very good watch.Just not quite five stars because there are times when the Transformer story feels a bit incidental, and if it's playing second fiddle to Charlies. But all in all, a nice little film, and the change of direction this franchise has needed in a while. Hopefully it can move on well from there.There's absolutely nothing after the end credits.The disc has the following language and subtitle options;Languages: English, English audio captioned.Subtitles: English.It goes into the menu when loaded with no ads or trailers.Extras:Four featurettes, under the heading 'Bringing Bumblebee to the big screen.'The story of Bumblebee. A four min overview of the film. It's ok.The stars align. Seven mins about the cast and characters. It's good.Bumblebee goes back to G1. Eight mins about the look of the character. Interesting viewing.Back to the Beetle. Five mins about the look of Bumblebee. Also quite a good watch.

I thought the story was good and like most franchises. Now it was the start of the series

Brilliant film, must definitely watch it

very good dvd

Rented this dvd to watch. Excellent film for my sons to watch, nice quality picture, came on very quickly, a bit expensive for a older film but still worth watching.

On the planet Cybertron civil-war rages between the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the Decepticons which the Autobots are losing, Optimus Prime orders an evacuation of his remaining Autobots,however, they are intercepted by a Decepticon force.Optimus instructs scout B-127 to set up a base on the distant planet called Earth to allow at some point the Autobots to regroup....he escapes in a pod.B-127 crashes on Earth in California attracting attention from Coronel Jack Burns (John Cena) and his team who automatically see the intruder as hostile, however, the earthlings are the least of the Autobot scouts worries, it seems he's been followed by a Decepticon.... battle between the two follows, B-127 is victorious but suffers crippling injuries leaving him unable to speak and with a damaged memory-core.Seeing a yellow beetle-car the scout before being unable to do so, scans it and becomes it.It's now 1987, young Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld) who is resentful of her mother for moving on so quickly after her dad's death whilst celebrating her 18th birthday notices the clapped-out beetle in her friends scrap-yard and wants it, the owner Hank gives his young friend it as a gift for her birthday.....she soon nicknames it Bumblebee.Charlie is in for one heck of a surprise when her car transforms into an Autobot... unable to communicate Bumblebee uses the car-radio to do so, Charlie and Bumblebee strike-up an unlikely friendship, unfortunately, a signal from it is picked-up far away by the Decepticons.Realizing B-127 is on this distant planet, two are sent to destroy him.The Decepticons need help to locate Bumblebee's whereabouts and convince Agent Burns and his superiors that they are the good guys and B-127 poses a threat.Bumblebee assisted by Charlie have to stop the Decepticons and hopefully convince the authorities that they have chosen the wrong side to back.The film series overall has certainly had it's high-points and indeed low-points, this film, a sequel, offers humour, great action, along with splendid use of CGI, and in truth can be looked upon as a high-point in the Transformers movie series.Certainly in my view, thoroughly entertaining.

As a kid of the 80s, this is the live action Transformer movie I have been waiting for. Much better than all of the recent live action movies. A great story, character driven, and a nice sound track.

Works fineMovie itself sucks tho lol
