CGI animated TF movie set on Cybertron sounds great. Just hope they get a good script and director for it @o@

I really didn't like this movie. I felt a lot of scenes are missing or jumps that annoyed me. As well the mom taking bumblebee out for no reason and the cornyness. The first 3 minutes are awesome but the rest of the action scenes and the last one are really disappointing. I only liked t1 and 3 but this was just mediocre at best. 5/10
Was pleasantly surprised with this movie but didn't love it. I thought a lot of the "heart" parts of this movie felt forced. But it was still solid. I then went home and tried to watch The Last Knight. I've tried 3 times but still haven't finished it. Holy shit..so bad.
I just saw it and it was pretty good. I wish Transformers started here in the movies not the shitty Bay films.
Even my wife loved it.
I'm gonna have to rewatch some clips as I missed some of the cameos. You can see Starscream, Wheeljack and Ratchet at some point?
I nearly yelled in the theatre seeing Soundwave eject Ravage.
Ok I think I might have to turn in my Transformers fan card in here. I don't get this reference.

Judd Nelson played John Bender in the Breakfast Club. (The character in the shot raising his fist that was shown multiple times in Bumblebee)
He also played Hot Rod in Transformers the Movie (1986).
I never saw Breakfast Club but I thought it'd have something to do with Judd Nelson.
Wish they had Casey Kasem voice as a tribute somehow given that Cliffjumper was in it.
That would be cool. However, Casey wanted nothing to do with Transformers after the writers of season 3 wrote in the fictional middle eastern country "Car-bomb-ya". I don't blame him. Shit was hella racist.

Film was okay.
A bit too slow paced, a bit too many sweet & sad moments. 80's theme is starting to see overuse in movies lately.
Hailee was charming as the heroine.

I prefer this to Bay's films where something has to explode every 10 seconds, characters and robots are soulless and there's no character development.
The 80s theme + Stan Bush felt like a giant apology for Bay shitting on fans thru 5 films. Although I stopped watching after Revenge of the Fallen.
Yeah that was racist. Casey passed away years ago I believe:(
Frank Welker better do Megatron in any sequel.
I just now found out that Judd Nelson has revoiced Hot Rod/Rodimus a few times since 1986.
I don't know that Casey Kasem would've held a forever-grudge with the Transformers franchise after the racist episode. He read the script, saw it was racist, so he quit, and the show retired his characters.
But then, Casey wrote a letter to the head of Marvel Productions explaining what happened and why it was wrong, and she wrote him back, saying she agreed with everything he said. She had copies of his letter sent to everyone involved with the production, and ordered people to learn from it and never let it happen again.
I would like to think that if the opportunity had come up, Casey Kasem would have been willing to reprise his roles. At the very least, I don't see any problem with modern Transformers (made by entirely different people) showing some love and tribute to Casey Kasem.
The easiest tribute I could think of would be... Casey Kasem was a radio DJ in 1987. And Bumblebee makes heavy use of his radio. I don't know about the legal ramifications, but they could've used a clip from his actual radio broadcast from whatever date the movie is supposed to take place on.
Btw, everyone should watch Transformers Animated. The very best of Transformers on screen.

TIL Judd Nelson was in Breakfast Club
I always just knew him as the guy who voiced Hot Rod

I'm late on this but I saw Bumblebee yesterday and it was great. I thought it looked promising from the trailers but think the other Transformers films are dumpster fire worthy so didn't rush to see it but this was much much better than those. Hopefully there's a sequel. Cena pointing out they're called Decepticons was my favourite moment.

Yes. My wife was wondering why nobody was suspicious of them right before his character brought it up.
The fourth season plot was detailed in The Allspark Almanac.

i watched this late, my daughter wanted to see a movie today and I realized this was still in theatres so I gave it a go.
30 seconds in, it's already the best live action Transformers movie ever. No bullshit macguffins, no "can't see shit" CGi, just a boatload of Cons and Optimus Prime whipping ass and leading the Autobots.
On Earth, and ohmigod - human characters I actually give a shit about!! Hailee Steinfeld was a treasure, and she actually had a relationship with Bumblebee. I even cared about G.I Cena and the scientist guy who gets turned to goop! Which leads me to another point that someone else brought up.
Truth. What was Sam's relationship with the Autobots?
"BUMBLEBEE!"
"OPTIMUS!"
"IRONHIDE!"
All he did was scream out names so you knew which garbage pile on stilts was who. Let Bayformers burn.

Hailee is a damn good actress. This movie was pretty much perfect! Loved it and so did my daughter.
Hated every Bay film after the first.

I don't get the hype, it was just as forgettable and subpar like the other Transformers movies. Appart from some good CGI really nothing to look out for. It's on Amazon Prime in Germany for anyone who cares btw.
