Bumblebee Reviews

A bad Iron Giant Fip Off.
This movie stars okey, but then it becomes one of thouse many movies of chindren making friends with an alien and getting in trouble with the goverment that we have seen a hundred times before. So cliché that it gets boring the second half. Just go watch the Iron Giant instead.

To be honest, I lost hope in the Transformers franchise a long time ago but since this prequel had been fairly well received and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a decent watch but mostly because most of the movies directed by Michael Bay turned out to be so underwhelming, not because it was actually anything great. Still, there were a couple of major improvements though. First of all, they scaled down the whole thing. Indeed, there were only 3 or 4 transformers involved and only a handful of human characters. Then, I really liked the fact that they made Bumblebee vulnerable for most of the duration, it made the character much more interesting than the the usual badass robots destroying everything coming there way without a second thought. Hailee Steinfeld was also quite charismatic but, to be honest, her character was really generic and not as interesting as the makers tried to convince the viewers. And, unfortunately, that was pretty much what more or less worked in this movie. Indeed, the fights between the transformers were well made and spectacular but, after watching so many of them, I really didn't care anymore and they actually bored me. Furthermore, the plot was just so generic. I don't know, maybe the transformers were a fascinating concept when I was 12 years old but, nowadays, the whole thing seems rather idiotic, especially after so many dumb sequels. I guess they would have to come up in the future with something really original to pique my interest. At least, the movie was must shorter than the ridiculously long blockbusters delivered by Bay. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really amazing, it was still a rather harmless transformer installment and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre. 

Primeros 15 minutos chidos, luego tenemos a una protagonista pendeja que se la pasa 24/7 por traumas de la infancia que serán mágicamente resueltos al final de la trama porque patata, a un deuteragonista (que se supone debía ser el personaje principal) siendo relegado a ser prácticamente una mascota y un mero chiste, a un negro que intenta ser el interés amoroso de la prota y a la vez el alivio cómica, pero que falla miserablemente en ambas cosas por ser la misma mierda que siempre hemos visto en películas de este tipo. Luego tenemos a los antagonistas que, voy a admitir, son más o menos lo más rescatable de la película, si no fuera porque se dejan descubrir ellos solos como unos idiotas y que, en vez de cerciorarse de haber matado definitivamente a Bumblebee, se las piran a la primera que lo tumban, pese a que anteriormente habían matado a otro autobot partiendolo a la fucking mitad, y luego tenemos al antiheroe (si es que se le puede llamar así) que la película lo pinta como un tipo malo que hace cosas malas, pero que se redime al final, cuando, en realidad, es el sujeto más cuerdo de toda la película, al experimentar en carne propia que tanto los autobots como decepticons (o cómo carajos se les diga) son una amenaza para el planeta tierra, pero bueno... de resto, pésimo guión conveniente, una interacción entre la prota y Bee que no viene a cuento, y un montón de comedía que es la misma mierda de siempre. Ah! Y todo ese drama escolar con las típicas niñas ricas mimadas que le hacen la vida imposible a la protagonista porque son más unidimensionales que un pepino ya esta muuuy gastado, a ver si se enteran de eso. En fin, ¿por qué hicieron una película de Bumblebee en primer lugar? Si, de todas formas, la jodida película apenas trata de Bee y su objetivo. FUCKING TRANSFORMERZZZZZZ
