“Right, well the one and only reason for me sitting down to watch u0026quot;Bumblebeeu0026quot; was because the rest of the family wanted to, so I gave in and joined them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich, I must admit, that I am actually glad that I did. Because this spin off on the u0026quot;Transformersu0026quot; live action movies was actually the best in the entire franchise. Who knew? A spin off movie putting every other single u0026quot;Transformersu0026quot; movie to shame and outshines them by a mile.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story in u0026quot;Bumblebeeu0026quot; was good, it had something for the entire family, because it contained action, comedy, love, and good vs evil. Everything that was required to entertain everyone in the family.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat also worked in favor of the movie was the fact that they had acquired a proper cast for the roles – well, with the exception of John Cena, as I canu0026#39;t really claim that he fit the role in this movie. But everyone else was really cast nicely for their respective roles and characters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is a good abundance of action in the movie, and it is done with elegance, whereas some of the movies in the actual main franchise seemed to focus more on just random destruction and violence, And the fact that there actually was a proper underlying storyline and plot to supported by the action just made it all the more enjoyable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is difficult not to get drawn in and be swooped away by Bumblebee himself in this movie, whereas I didnu0026#39;t have quite the same feeling or reaction in the countless previous movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is actually how they should have started the entire franchise off, instead of giving us a continuous array of explosions and CGI bedazzlement. If you, like me, grew up watching the u0026quot;Transformersu0026quot; cartoons in your childhood, then you definitely should take the time to sit down and watch the 2018 u0026quot;Bumblebeeu0026quot;, because director Travis Knight really nailed it right on the head here.”
