BumbleBee (2018) Movie Review

BumbleBee

Starring: John Cena, Hailee Steinfield

Directed by : Travis Knight

Plot:

The movie consisting an "Origin Story" of the renowned Transformers franchise character Bumblebee.. The story comprises the first appearance of the autobots and the decepticons to the Earth..

On the run year of 1987, Bumblebee is being a refuge in a junkyard in a small beach town in California and being accidentally finding out by Charlie (Hailee) on her 18th birth day as her present.

Pros:

1.  Stunning visual effects and action sequences

2.  Era defining lighting and nostalgic references (Year 1987)

3.  Unlike the franchise the movie does not over exaggerating the action sequences 

4.  Avoiding unnecessary slow motion effects (unlike the actual Transformers movies)

5.  Appropriate and In-Plot story telling (avoiding unnecessary scenes)

6.  Chemistry between Bumblebee and Charley (Hailee)

Cons:

1. An "Origin Story" nobody asked for in the diminishing years of Transformers franchise.

2. Cliche story. At some point it will be seen as Herbie : Fully Loaded 2

3. John Cena is barely appearing in the movie. More like a side character without any importance

4. Jokes are not funny at any pont

5. The villains  does not have any character definitions. We dont know who they are and what they           want literally..

Verdict: Average                                                                                              Rating: 05/10
