“...this is exactly the closest thing to what we could ever hope from a Transformers live action film, thus far.”

It was a very human story in the best possible way. Hailey Steinfeld, that little girl from True Grit. What an amazing actress. We’re blown away by her performance carrying this film as Charlie. This is the best live action Transformers movie yet, and just a great movie overall. Don’t know what it took for Michael Bay to let go of the directing reigns, but we are so glad he did and hope he continues to do so, no offense to the man. He has some great work.Transformers, just ain’t one of them.
We absolutely loved it, and though it was a very human story with our protagonist taking up most of the screen, Bumblebee was front and center through and through, though we got great character development from Charlie and her family. By the way, if you are a big fan or grew up on the classic 80s Transformers animated series, you are most definite going to love their depiction in this film. Allot of them do come out at a certain point of the movie, no spoilers, but let’s just say they look just like they were taken out straight from the small screen.
We believe this is exactly the closest thing to what we could ever hope from a Transformers live action film, thus far. The balance between Transformers and human screen time was perfect. This is a fresh start and reset to this franchise, and we hope is telling of what is to come from the series moving forward, cause if this is indeed the route they are going to take from now on, then we cannot wait, we cannot wait to see what’s in store for this franchise moving onward.
This film gives you a great sense of hope. Its about friendship. Its very empowering for people that are going through the thick of it, a rough patch, a tough time, mental and emotion agony and frustration. It was about true friendship, loyalty and Charlie finds that in Bumblebee. The acting was spectacular overall. Why John Cena himself was quite the serviceable actor, who we’ve noticed gets better with each and every film he comes out in. But man, that Hailey Steinfeld…what a STAR. Just thinking about some of the emotional beats in this film will have you tearing up. That is a testament to her talent and prowess as an artist. Surprisingly enough, this is a very heartfelt and uplifting movie that shared some similar notes to some of our favorite indie films. It was a very personal story, a beautiful story that had us reflecting and pondering. With this, hopefully gone are the days of those close ups on girls’ butts, and silly but clever ads we dreaded in past Transformers’ movies, bringing on a welcomed and much needed evolution to the franchise.
