LOVE, SIMON 2018

You are still you, Simon. You are still the same son who I love to tease and who your father depends on for just about everything. And you're the same brother who always complements his sister on her food, even when it sucks. You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in... in a very long time. You deserve everything you want.

Bumblebee is a 2018 science fiction action film centered on Hasbro's Transformers character of the same name. The film is the sixth installment in the Transformers film series. The film is directed by Travis Knight and written by Christina Hodson. It stars Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, and Pamela Adlon, and features Dylan O'Brien, Angela Bassett, Justin Theroux, and Peter Cullen in voice roles. It is the first film in the Transformers series not to be directed by Michael Bay, who instead acted as a producer.

Bumblebee (2018)

My rating: 8/10

Honestly it's remarkable how many story beats this has in common with Bay's Transformers, given how that is a horrendous piece of garbage and this is actually really good.

Bumblebee (2018)

Calling Bumblebee the best of the live-action Transformers movies is faint praise. Even if you consider the 2007 film's action sequences and special effects/character designs, the bar wasn’t high. It's a shame. This is what a movie translation of the series should’ve been from the beginning. It focuses on just a few characters (including a charismatic lead) and builds their relationship using methods that have worked before but are no less effective.

On the robotic planet Cybertron, the Autobot rebels are on the verge of defeat at the hands of the cruel Decepticons. Young Autobot scout B-127 lands on Earth to establish a new base, only to be ambushed and critically injured. Disguising himself as a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, the amnesiac "Bumblebee" is discovered and repaired by Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld), an 18-year-old music lover and car enthusiast.

The obvious comparison is to both E.T. the Extra-terrestrial and The Iron Giant. A lonely child befriends an alien who must be kept hidden from the authorities. Shenanigans ensue when it’s left unsupervised because it acts more like a child than a member of an advanced species. There are a few times when entire scenes in Bumblebee feel like they’ve been copied and pasted from those other stories with only the names swapped out. This means the best it can get is a bronze medal while Spielberg and Brad Byrd’s movies duke it out for a combined gold. That’s ok. This movie is miles ahead of the next contestant and the Autobots/Decepticons bring some new ingredients to the mix.

It’s a prequel, which means the plot’s set in the ‘80s. Rather than feeling like a cheap bid to exploit nostalgia, it really works here. The Transformers is an ‘80s franchise and setting things in the past allows us to get back to its roots in multiple ways. Aside from Bumblebee and the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), all the characters are new. We’re not trying to tie up the innumerable loose ends created by the "previous" movies. We’re just telling one effective story centered around friendship and personal growth. The big threats are Bumblebee being discovered by U.S. Army Colonel Jack Burns (John Cena, a great choice for this role) and a pair of villainous Decepticons (voiced by Angela Bassett and Justin Theroux). Charlie’s summer job at the carnival - though crappy - also makes you recall simpler times. Gone are the bathroom jokes, the dubious roles for women and visual minorities and the cacophony of shredded metal while entire cities are laid to ruin.

Then there’s the music. Throughout, we hear great tunes - and not simply the usual “best ofs”. This soundtrack feels like it belongs to Charlie. They help flesh out her character and her relationship with the alien robot. It helps that Hailee Steinfeld is a gem. You just want to walk up to her and give her a big hug, particularly when she’s lamenting the death of her father (a subplot that’s nicely handled by the director and the actress alike).

The action scenes we do get are clearly shot and remain tense because we care about the characters. You want Charlie to survive. You also want her to overcome her grief, make friends, maybe even fall in love with her shy neighbor, Memo (Jorge Lendeborg). You like Bumblebee because the amnesic robot is funny and because he's kind of cuddly in a "child-like giant metal man that can inexplicably understand English" sort of way. Yes, the bulk of the times we saw the yellow 'bot he was in some bad stories but you still have a bond with him, one not unlike Charlie’s.

Upon initial release, Bumblebee was merely billed as a prequel to the franchise. I say ditch those other stories and keep going with this route. While it may be slightly derivative of other projects and the mechanical villains could’ve been developed further, this is solid ground on which you could start a franchise… for real this time.

Synopsis:

"Bumblebee" is a standalone Transformers film directed by Travis Knight, set in the 1980s. The movie serves as a prequel to the Transformers series, exploring the origins of the beloved Autobot Bumblebee and his unique bond with a teenage girl named Charlie Watson.

Summary:

"Bumblebee" takes a refreshing approach to the Transformers franchise by focusing on character-driven storytelling and a more intimate scale. The film begins on the war-torn planet Cybertron, where the Autobots are facing the oppressive Decepticons. Bumblebee, a courageous Autobot scout, is sent to Earth to establish a base and protect the planet from impending destruction.

On Earth, Bumblebee takes the form of a yellow Volkswagen Beetle and ends up in a small California town. He crosses paths with Charlie Watson, portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld, a young and resilient girl struggling with the loss of her father and her place in the world. Charlie discovers Bumblebee hidden away in a junkyard and forms an unlikely bond with the alien robot.

As Charlie and Bumblebee develop their friendship, they must navigate the challenges of high school, family, and a covert government agency known as Sector 7, led by Agent Jack Burns, played by John Cena. Meanwhile, the Decepticons, Shatter and Dropkick, arrive on Earth, intent on locating and eliminating Bumblebee.

"Bumblebee" offers a heartfelt and coming-of-age story, combining elements of action, humor, and emotion. The film captures the essence of the classic Transformers characters while presenting a more grounded and intimate narrative. The relationship between Charlie and Bumblebee forms the emotional core of the film, as they learn to understand and support each other.

John Cena brings his signature charisma to the role of Agent Burns, adding both humor and intensity to the film.

The visual effects in "Bumblebee" are skillfully executed, blending seamlessly with the live-action sequences. The action scenes are exciting and well-choreographed, showcasing Bumblebee's agility and combat skills. The film also pays homage to the Transformers' iconic designs and captures the nostalgia of the 1980s, featuring a soundtrack that enhances the time period.

"Bumblebee" received critical acclaim for its refreshing approach, strong performances, and heartfelt storytelling. By focusing on the relationship between a human and a Transformer, the film offers a more intimate and character-driven experience while still delivering the thrilling action and visual effects associated with the franchise.

In conclusion, "Bumblebee" breathes new life into the Transformers series, providing an engaging and heartfelt origin story for the beloved Autobot. With its talented cast, compelling characters, and a balance of action and emotion, the film offers an enjoyable and satisfying experience for both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.
