I never thought i'd say i enjoyed a Transformers flick. That is harsh, i liked the first one, but i hated the rest, hell the very last one i never even finished on Hulu. Everyone was jizzing over the trailer for Bumblebee, i thought it looked fun but i still doubted i would ever see it, then the buzz for it came in, and you know, this was a fun flick. Gone is the Baysploitation as we enter into the en vogue post modern 80s nostalgia phase, and it works. You have likable characters, including a totes babe in Hailee Steinfeld, a Amblin esque plot, genuine touching moments and a fantastic soundtrack and you get a formula that works for the series. It is funny that this one feels Amblin esque as Spielberg served as an executive producer on the series, yet this one has the most in common. Prequel, soft reboot, whatevs, just glad to enjoy a movie based on a show that was a commercial for toys. Oh and John Cena can still work the heel style by the way, i don't want him to go heel per se, but this flick shows he still can pull heel off.
