Hadn't seen her in anything until this. I had my guard up because of the Bay movies so I was really untrusting of her character at first but she did an amazing job melting away that cynicism.

Something subtle they did with this movie that I really enjoy is scale the transformers more realistically. Bumblebee is about the size of a robot that would transform into a vw beetle while he's dense in robot mode and 80% air in vehicle mode. Also, the triple changers are bigger in robot mode so they can turn into bigger aircraft. But their car modes are smaller. So they blacked out their windows and never showed anyone riding in them. Makes it easier to believe you could fit a giant robot in a little car when they don't need to make room for people. Subtle, but effective at making a believable transformer. Hopefully they keep it going in later films, but I won't be mad if they don't. Just glad they did it here.

I’m not even hyper-picky about them making certain robots a certain size based on what they transform into, I just want them to remain consistent on a couple of basic ideas. The Decepticons were very animalistic/monster-like, so Megatron makes sense as their leader because he’s the largest, hence the strongest… but then, we get Grindor, Shockwave, some of the Constructicons, etc. Which is fine, but then they couldn’t even keep track of how *many* Constructicons there were… It originally seemed like there were about 8 only then, you notice that there are about 3 different copies of each of those 8. I don’t think Shockwave ever actually interacts with Megatron. So, you don’t even see if his massive size and power are a threat to Megatron’s authority. Which is funny because in the thrown together video game prequel (which is almost definitely not canonical) Megatron seems very hesitant to resort to having to work with Shockwave, given how dangerous he is. Basically, a 7-level, hastily made video game was better thought out than Michael Bay’s nonsense.

they'd have to get rid of the "human" aspect of the story (which I think is a stupid argument, you can "humanize" the struggle for cybertron and make character studies of the transformer characters). I think the civil war is interesting enough, but there's a lot of legwork to make the autobots and deciptcons interesting for casual viewers. They could pull the class struggle story. Easily doable with Mirage's character since he was from a well to do family before the war and cares less about whole civil war and cares more about returning back to a life of normalcy. Truly, a centrist POV which could make this whole civil war thing SO much more dynamic and interesting

Another thing worth mentioning: the decepticons, if anyone has seen the animated series from G1 to prime to cyberverse, you would know how much character EVERYONE has, decepticons included. It made them different because people didn't see it as a story of good battling evil but two sides battling for their own morals. We can see that the characters especially decepticons were butchered in Bayverse, every singhle decepticon was silver/chromeish and all looked the same, the reboot version however seemed to add more character to them and lets it stays that way.

I really like the simplified look of the designs as well. Yeah they have the mechanical details, wires, pistons etc. that make them more realistic. But toning them down was a big step over how the Bayverse added tiny details to every single part, making them hard to look at, and hard to pick out where parts on the face or body are.

The G1 style just made each transformer more unique and iconic. I got to watch the g1 series a few yrs ago as a kid and loved how the characters weren’t just a fragile metal mess

I love this movie exactly as much as I disliked the Bayformers, that it to say, a whole lot! It stands with Detective Pikachu and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie as fantastic, fun, colourful events that are far, far better than they probably deserve to be. John Cena's character was supposed to be the stereotypical bad guy, even getting the bad guy facial scar linked to Bumblebee, but he's such a nice, charismatic guy, and such a pleasure to work with, that's they rewrote his arc so he redeems himself by the ending. My worry with movie like the three I mention earlier is that perhaps the studio expected nothing of them initially, and let the director and writer and extended team the freedom to do as they wanted without too much studio executive involvement. But sequels will be pressured in to adding this thing or that thing, because focus groups say it's "hot" right now. It seems to happen too often (see Wonder Woman). Thanks for another fab video, and congrats on hitting the million. Glad I've been a part of this journey for so long.

I love how Bumblebee balanced out the humans and the robots, I hope we get that Transformers Rise of the Beasts and since it'll involve time travel I also hope those theories about it erasing the Micheal Bay movies.

Everything about Bumblebee is gorgeous! I adore the designs and they nailed the heart of the movie!

Love this video essay, the amount of effort and points really makes this video so well structured. I love the Bumblebee movie morally cause of how well grounded and easy to follow it is in terms of its story, and yes the designs overall are definitely better I'd say. Yes they take heavy inspiration from the G1 designs but contain a very nice stylized approach and if you ask me that's my most favorite approach when it comes to Transformer designs in general.

My biggest problem with bumblebee is that the cybertron scenes completely overshadow the rest of the film. Even in this essay you went on about the G1 designs but the 3 main Transformers (Shatter, Dropkick and bumblebee) are either completely original characters or in bumblebee's case has a design that doesn't at all resemble G1.the only time we see G1 designs are with the characters on cybertron and optimus. I still enjoy the movie and respect it for showing restraint characters wise but the cybertron scene definitely stole the show; which is why currently we're getting a bunch of toys of characters that appeared in that scene for 3 seconds and even a CG animated cybertron film now.

Man... I remember when the first bay movie came out, my friends were into it but seeing that first transformation instantly had me confused about what I was looking at... it felt like an over edited fight scene with too much close shots. This bumble bee movie really got me liking it 👌

I was a little, LITTLE kid, when I first watched the 07 Transformers. It introduced me to the franchise, and there are still things I enjoy about it for sure. But having grown up exploring the other stories through the history of Transformers, Bumblebee was such a wonderful breath of fresh air. You could feel the respect for the original characters and storyline, it finally felt like The Transformers. I will always have a place in my heart for the original Bay-formers, but I will genuinely adore the real Transformers, and it felt very cathartic to finally see that same love on the big screen.

Am i the only one, who appreciates transformers 1 and two as some kind of guilty pleasur epic summer blochbuster thing? Sorry but I always enjoy to go back to these.

Transformers is lit, the cgi is phenomenal

Yes, Bumblebee 2018 made me a fan of franchise again, after losing my hope back in 2014 after seeing Age of Extinction. Now, I cannot wait for the new ROTB movie!

I was so bummed out by Transformers 2 (2009) that I never thought to watch anything else from the franchise, or Bumblebee - but now I am looking forward to watching this!

That opening scene omg I nearly cried it was like someone had dipped into my imagination as a kid in the 80s. I wish this had kicked off a bumblebee specific universe

I remember seeing this movie in the theatres and walking out with a feeling of joy and relief that a Transformers movie could actually be good if not great! Thank you Nerdstalgic for this awesome video, and THANK YOU Travis Knight for saving the Transformers franchise from further humiliation and ruin!

impressively enough, this movie actually has a coherent story about trauma that it explores through “the girl and her car” that it develops simultaneously in the main duo. Both hide away from the world due to traumatic events (Charlie’s father’s death and Bumblebee getting separated from his kind, attacked by the military and mutilated by Blitzwing) and through their attachment open back up again and return to their worlds after consecrating their growth by making the difficult yet necessary choice to part ways. There a few flaws along the way, but… The other movies never even TRIED to give any of the TITULAR CHARACTERS… a character arc. Unless the sub 500 million dollar returns (despite being over a threefold return on investment) cause the studio to stupidly regress, I think we have ourselves a working Transformers series for the first time.

The opening sequence is one of my favorite scenes in all the movies. It's so good now I just want a movie about the war on Cybertron.

I still feel the original Trilogy is a good group of films. Heck Dark of the Moon (TF3) is still my favourite film of all time. I feel that 4&5 were the ones that started to just take it too far and started the franchise downhill. Because honestly I would suggest that the golden age of transformers was from around 2009-2013. Also, I am getting tired of the “I can’t see what’s going on complaint”. I’ve never understood it. If my 6 year old self could understand what was going on and could see the action fine then I don’t think it was the movies problem. I’m just getting really tired of the cliche hating on the Bayverse. However I do feel like Bumblebee is a proper step in the right direction. I think if we can get a perfect mix of the bay movies and Bumblebee, We can actually get an all around really good and enjoyable film. Not just on a cool action movie level but possibly something even greater. Really hoping that Rise of the Beasts can deliver on that.

There's no rhyme or reason other than It's mainstream and people hate it because at this point "why not." All of the real complaints that I've seen aren't prominent at all, like the corny jokes and short moments.

Totally agree… as an 80s kid, I wanted to like the Bay movies… but… Bumblebee was something very different, and I loved it. The G1 Cybertron sequence gave me goosebumps, and at least once a month I watch B and Prime driving side by side at the side on the Golden Gate Bridge..

I've never seen someone explain why the bay movies were so bad in a 10 minute span. You are a legend. Keep up the great work!

You know what really saved it for me? Watching Optimus go full one robot army on all the decepticons by himself. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the movie! But man was watching those cybertron scenes get me so hyped.

I've heard they're also making a Cybertron movie too, it should show: who was Megatron before the war; who was Optimus before the war; lower, middle and higher classes; the high council meeting that started it all; Megatron meeting Starscream near the Trypticon station; Optimus gaining the Matrix of Leadership; finish on Transformers entering the Ark. So it would be a prequel to Rise of the Beasts or something like that, and that movie would start with the classical Ark scene, that was present in g1 and TFoC.

Very informative. I learned a lot about how the filmmaking process was made.

I think it was good because it comparatively minimalistic and had a good strong emotional connection between the girl and Bumblebee and it was a throwback to movies like Shortcircuit

"Thanks to you, B-127, we have a future." -Optimus Prime, post-credits scene

Seeing all the Transformers and even Cybertron itself sporting their classic G1 designs in live action for the first time; doubles as sweet beautiful and Awesome, as it proves those designs can work and the overly detailed designs from the first five movies aren't the only way to go not only best transformers movie Not only is also it the highest-rated Transformers film on the site and scores significantly higher than 2007's Transformers, it is the first Transformers film to hold a Fresh rating, including the original 1986 animated film.

I heard that Bumblebee was good, and had absolutely no interest because I thought it would just be good for a Transformers movie.

Agreed. A refreshing change of pace and would like to see more from this universe.. especially the first 10 minutes.

While I've always enjoyed the sheer insanity of the Michael Bay films. Bumblebee's new direction aiming for a more faithful depiction of G1 with a more heartfelt story makes me really excited to see what happens next.

For my part, I consider Bumblebee's solo outing to be the most enjoyable instance of the Bayformer universe. Before this I'd come to generally dislike Bay's style, so if they continue to gown down this new route that Bumblebee has set up, I might find renewed interest in the live-action films 😊

The Bumblebee movie was great! The designs were so good they were definitely better than Micheal Bay’s designs (debatable). The Bumblebee movie definitely saved the franchise. This movie has the touch and the power

I loved everything about this movie! I just wish we knew when a sequel was coming out, I haven’t heard a peep about it at all!

Also, just had an insane idea when you said Spielberg wanted a coming of age film: imagine a George Lucas, American Graffiti/Star Wars style Transformers movie.

I really liked bumblebees voice in this movie. Hope we get to hear more of his voice in future movies because it sounds really good.

I will never forgive this production of this movie for how it treated Peter Cullen.

Travis Knight did a Great Job with the Movie!

“AUTOBOTS WAGE THE BATTLE TO DESTROY THE EVIL FORCES OF THE DECEPTICONS!”

To me this movie somehow feels way more like a commercial product, probably because it's trying its best to look and feel like the toy ads turned into a tv series that the original transformers were. It's desperately trying to please as much people as possible, whereas what Bay did was "U remember that cool thing u liked from your childhood? Oh well, it's mine now, and l get to do whatever the hell l want with it, u either like it or u don't", which is kinda brave. His movies are still unwatchable and have no plot, obviously, but it feels to me that he has a more defined vision of what he wants his movies to look like. This makes his commercial product closer resemble """"art"""", compared to the commercial product that is the bumblebee movie. Whatever you like more is up to you

This was SO MUCH BETTER than any other Transformers film. I'm glad other people recognize that, too.

Bumblebee was a needed edition in the Transformers franchise. It definitely took the movies in the right direction by being more faithful to the source material unlike other entries, luckily not wasn’t part of Bayverse. Even though it didn’t rack up much in the box office it was still a great film, can’t wait for Rise of the Beasts and the other two movies to come out in the foreseeable future.

I didn’t realize that this movie made as much as it did! I know the budget was down compared to the Bay movies so that is cool to know. I thought they went ahead with the whole reboot of the universe because it was universally appraised but knowing it made that much definitely puts things into perspective a bit more.

I loved all the transformers films, they all had great moments and they were all so cool!!!

I'd love to see an episode on the film adaptation of A Scanner Darkly - why it's a hugely underrated piece of cinema, how the rotoscoping elevates the material, and even maybe how it felt like it kickstarted Robert Downey Jr. as an actor again.

I still think 3 part is best...the climax action where the building falls off and earth worm transformer ..is awesome

@@darklord7069 No, we just want crystal clear plot that doesn't contradict itself. Unlike bayformers. But I guess you're too much of a bay fanboy to realize that. Keep kissing his ass. it gives you no right to gatekeep others viewing habits.

The fight on cybertron really made this movie and showed the lore that existed. I hope that the beast wars movie will be good

I did not think I was going to like this movie. I was like wow another transformer movie wow another broody teenager movie. but I watched it anyways and it WAS SO GOOD!! The best transformer movie IMO.

10:06 Funny you bring that up, considering there were leaks of promo art with Optimus Primal & Bumblebee with his new camaro form from the end of his film; and needless to say, they both looks gorgeous, I'd say this franchise is in good hands now.

Prime will be main hero as said by director.. I guess, movie will be similar to Netflix war for cybertron Kingdom where primal comes to help prime..

Bumblebee is by far the best Transformers movie. Transformers 2 is one of the movies that I hate the most but I have a huge soft spot for Dark Of The Moon

I can't believe this movie did in 5 minutes what Michael Bay couldn't do across 5 whole movies

I loved the transformers movies as a kid. But i gotta admit, its kinda a mess. The only reason i could distinguish the transformers was bc i was a nerd that rewatched the franchise a 100 times. The Bumblebee movie is so much clearer and easyer to watch.

I love the fact they use the gen 1 design to see the robot clearer even tho the movie budget of the bumblebee movie is small it's more complexing and the story board is easy to understand! Bayformers has a big budget movie but the robot looks more human like and i don't want there story it's so far from the original transformer cartoons

I hope that paramount does something like this with the TMNT

To be honest, as a long time Transformers fan, I'm not really sold with any of the live action movies, including BB, much as I like the return to the G1 desgins, I wasn't that invested in the film story because they make the same mistake as Bay films, they aren't developing the Transformers as characters to go beyond a single film, example, Blitzwing, shortly after he shows up, he pretty much killed off, the Transformers need to take centre stage as characters, not CGI messes that play second fiddle to the humans, plus I am sick of BB not speaking, it makes no sense for advanced alien robotic life form, to be incapable of repairing/healing their voical box, plus, what is the Autobot reason for coming to earth in the BB universe, nothing, they could very well go to Mars and fight there, the original G1 cartoon and comic makes it prefectly clear, why, they need energy because their war has ravaged their home world to the point they can't produce any or find a long term source thus they leave their home world behind but their war follows them, because Megatron cannot be happy having forced his enemies off world, thus chases them into space! The series since then, all had similar ideas but they take time to flesh out the core characters, the movies, they haven't done that at all, its mostly been bang, boom, or get from point A to point D via point C & B, one can only hope that the next installment actually takes time to develop the characters who aren't humans!

OMG I know exactly what you are saying & Bumblebee was the worst for it with it just being cheesy 80s movies with Bumblebee attached. At least the Bayverse started with All Spark is on Earth so our war is coming for it & then stayed there & eventually went with Earth = Unicron to explain how Transformers were lured there long before then. At least the 5 Bayformers films had more focus on the Transformers than Bumblebee had. You could have removed Bumblebee from his movie replacing him with a gorilla & most of the movie would have been unchanged. That's why I hate that Bumblebee Movie gets praise because it encourages abandoning Transformers for human focused B Movies.

Bumblebee did do something the Bayformers never could and that is actually make us really give a shit about the humans and didn't have a fucking romance kiss scene for no reason it was extremely well made

I hoping for the future movies to be more transformers focused, but I think it’s important that the start is more of a human film. Because, we need to see the human’s perspective on them as well as show them ‘calm before the storm’.

man, now i wana rewatch it. i do remember really liking it but haven't felt the desire to revisit for whatever reason.

Bumblebee is a proper Transformers movie. Bayformers is a fast paced CGI demo reel.

'Bumblebee saved the Transformers franchise'... Rise of the Beasts wants to say a few words. ;P T_T

It was the G1 designs, the G1 designs, the G1 designs! People (including myself) wanted to see MORE of that! That's what I remember, and Bumble Bee gave a taste, but then went another way. So did Paramount. They decided to jump past all the story line of Cybertron to Earth, and go to Beastwars. -Can you imagine if they didn't show Optimus riding side by side with Bumblebee on the bridge at the end , but instead had the decepticons, and autobots crash land on earth the way they did in the original G1 cartoon storyline.......Drooling like Homer Simpson!

They really need to do movies on just the Cybertron wars. Since, Transformers on Earth really devolves into generic action films. It'd be cool to see the complexity of the war. Transformers on Earth can focus on Optimus going crazy from the centuries of war but they tend to only focus on bland human characters, robot blobs and military jargon

My biggest complaint was there wasn't enough scenes with the other Autobots, I know it was primarily about Bumblebee understanding the human world he got thrown into but if we got more scenes with Prime and the others that escaped Cybertron? I would've enjoyed the movie more.

What i'm saying is, if you are going to include human characters in a transformers movie? Make them a side priority like what was done in G1.

I like the appearance of the Dinobots but I wish they had had the personalities that they had in the cartoon. And that King Arthur BS the less said the better.

Aaaaand they're back to the michael bay clusterfuck movies.

Hopefully the next Transfomers movie is just as good as Bumblebee movie if not better....Also I'm a big Nostalgic sucker for the 2007 Transfomers movie because it's what got me into the Transfomers franchise as a kid and I still think it's pretty dam good🤣🤞
