I didn't see this in theaters like I said I would if Starscream was in it, but that wasn't Starscream!! At least not according to the credits.
I liked this better than any of the Bay movies, to be honest. I've got a thing for Hailee Steinfeld, so that helps, and I've never liked Bumblebee even a little bit...but I liked him in this. It wasn't highbrow or anything remotely like that, and John Cena had some pretty terrible scenes, as did light-skinned-black-not-really-romantic-interest, but the movie was mainly about the chick and Bumblebee, and that's all I needed. It was good enough. When there was action I was able to immediately tell who was who, unlike Bay's, and I was super thankful for that.
Speaking of that, the few scenes of the battle on Cybertron got me so fucking hard wanting them to do a "live action" version of The Movie. That looked fucking fantastic, and I'd give my left nut for that to happen, using the same visuals as this movie. The nostalgia for that movie hit really fucking hard in the first 5 minutes.
I also liked how, other than a little bit of Optimus, there were no big-name players on either side really. Soundwave being the only other one, and he sounded EXACTLY like Soundwave is supposed to. Fuck those scenes were so good. Make this movie happen, Hollywood!
Starscream cameo'd in the first 10 minutes but no speaking lines, Optimus shoots and throws him up over his shoulder before Bumblebee drives up and kicks another Decepticon's head into him, knocking him over. The one who was on Earth was Blitzwing.
Bumblebee was great
the girl, the boy, and the family were shit
i was wishing the terrible dinobots from the last movie would show up and eat them
Just give us an entire movie done by whoever did the first 10 minutes of Bumblebee, please. Oh wait, I forgot, we got that back in 1986 and it was fucking great.
Yeah. Transformers was originally an English series. Not Japanese. So the Japanese voice actors are no better than English voice actors for any anime.Transformers is like the only series where American voice actors just lay the smackdown on jap voices

the drama in the 80's was real.I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the 80s movie, despite watching the transformers Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. If I’ve seen it I’ve forgotten. Found a remaster. Going to try to watch it with my 5yo son tonight.
