Bumblebee

The only film I watched yesterday and, for its faults, was pretty uplifting.

On what was a pretty dismal day compared to normal years, I guess a story about friendship, loss, and triumph over depression was just what I needed to be left with some positive vibes.

That and a decent splashing of robot on robot violence!

The Bay films always felt pretty empty - a vague non-plot just to have an excuse for the fight scenes, but Travis Knight got a far better feel to this one, I think.

I like the bit at the start on Cybertron. Other than that I’ll take it or leave it.

It was a very pleasant surprise after the drudgery of the Bay films. Which just got steadily worse and worse. O didn’t watch another one after the one where Optimus was riding a dinosaur robot, because, reasons.

Might give it ago, haven’t bought my self to it due to Michael Bay ruining transformers for me

I completely forgot about those. Michael Bay is definitely just living out his childhood fantasies through movies.

The Screen Junkies summed it up quite well!
